[alxeu]

Good game, guys. I had fun, and now I can be more useful next game, too.

CAG Admiral President Lee Adams shall lead us forward, I guess.

 

[Falc]

So I'm rather sad to lose my winning streak.

I'm also a bit annoyed it happened because someone decided to make me a Cylon when that wasn't the best choice, perhaps.

 

[TheArchduke]

My apologies, Falc.

I am not sure who would have been a better choice.

Did Dex just loose?

 

[Trinitrotoluen]

Yes. The execution didn't help him.

 

[TheArchduke]

I think being less helpful instead of a quasi-human player would have benefitted him a lot more, he could have gotten more cooperation out of him.

I must admit, I would love for a new game, but I doubt I will play New Capricia again, not my cup of tea.

 

[Falc]

A question about New Caprica: does anyone else feel that maybe it's not the best fit with the Cylon Fleet? Both in terms of shorter distance and in terms of the New Caprica phase in and of itself?

 

[Dexander]

I tried to get my goals on human side, but didn't have any luck/skill to achieve them.

[Dexander]

sorry about the spams...dunno what happened...

7 distance still needs a minimum number of 3 jumps, same as 8 distance. Forcing us to make yet another jump would have helped you.

The Cylon Fleet gives the Cylons predictable shots at culling the civvie horde and driving down population, so I'd say on average it works in their favor.

 

[Kingepyon]

If you can plan it so you can have a Cylon fleet appear shortly after galactica appears, then it's really strong.

That being said, I don't like New Caprica as a Cylon. Unless morale or pop is already low, it's hard to find something to reliably hit to finish the game.

Thanks for GMing E_L. That was a long game.

 

[Dexander]

Yeah, Thanks E_L!

 

[TheArchduke]

Yeah, thanks a bunch E_L for seeing this through.

 

[Trinitrotoluen]

The human jump sooner more often with Cylon Fleet, because the there is no attack crisis that are always treated as no jump prep. But it also does ensure that they humans always have to deal with Cylon ships, making pilots more useful.

I played games with bad time attack crisises and games were it seemed like we hit every one in the deck. Overall the game tends to end a little sooner then games with Cylon attack crisises, but the cylons cause more damage due to the certainly of their ships doing things, the ships get on the board and every crisis has an activation, so in a way I think it harder on both sides. Humans because of more fires and Cylons because less turns to cause damage.
