Kzinti Empire - offical empire thread

You have dared to enter the lair of the most ferocious predators in the galaxy!

It is the ulitmate destiny of the Kzinti to conquer the other civilizations of the galaxy, subjugate and enslave any who may prove useful to us, and devour the rest. The Fanged God has ordained that this is how it will be.

In just 26 octals of days (7 months or so...Kzinti count in base 8), the Kzinti Empire rose from obscurity, to #1 on the Metaverse. With the blessings of the Fanged God, we have remained dominant for 100s more octals of days since that auspicious day.  We leapt past the other empires, and our mighty domain now encompasses over 32 million more light years than the second most powerful empire.  The most recent Galactic Map data shows that we have subjugated over 45% of the galaxy.  Many warriors from the old and dying empires have joined us, to avoid being eaten along with the rest.  We hunger to establish indefinite supremacy over all the inferior sentient species...

We have also been #1 on the AltMeta for over 3 years running. The Empire grows more powerful with each passing day as new conquests are won, and more warriors join us in our inevitable rise to rule the galaxy!

The Kzinti are a species of bipedal space-faring feline predators, who love nothing more than conquest and battle. Created by sci-fi writer Larry Niven, the Kzinti have had many stories written about them, most notably in the Man-Kzin Wars series of books. They have also shown up in the Star Trek universe, and a number of other realities.

"Kzinti flesh has a very strong and pungent taste. The weak among us are devoured by their litter-mates within a few moons of birthing. Only the swiftest and most ferocious of us survive to their first naming-day. Those not fit to survive will never live to perpetuate their inferior bloodlines. This is the natural law of the galaxy." - Kzinti Warrior

"The meaning of life is the hot blood of your prey on your tongue, the meat that rends beneath your teeth, the corpse of your enemy left in the sun for the carrion eaters to finish, your defeated foe groveling in submission before you. That is what life is. We are the Kzinti, and we stronger, swifter, wiser, and more ferocious than any other race ever was or will be." - Kzinti philosopher

If your claws can grasp it, then it is rightfully yours. - Kzinti proverb

A salute to all those heroic t'kzintar who have made this empire a resounding success. Our conquests continue and the galaxy will never know peace!

Ok, we've finished moving, but school is on so I won't be able to finish my game anytime soon. Wish me luck at my new school (forgot to tell you that didnt I?).

Makes your score all that much more impresive, that you didnt use Swindle tactics.

don't misunderstand, I'm pleased.   but I think we both know, in better hands (and maybe a better rig) this map could do  7 didgits.  Can you imagine being the Evil Twin with 946 and not being able to upgrade/save all your ships?

now thats a REAL b*tch 

Admirable humility, but almost 800k is surely nothing to scoff at. :)  Less than a handful of people have achieved 1 million points.  I think just Motti, Livonya, and Mumblefatz...sorry if I left anybody out.

Yeah the depreciation with successive games is a real b*tch.

At least it motivated me to break 400k. Part of the credit goes to jacklv for giving me the idea to turn the random events on. I got an econ boom AND an influence boom fairly early in the game. Sadly, the idiot Torian ambassador just HAD to visit that $&#( factory on one of my planets later and get whacked. It was a short war. My military rating was something like 250 vs 25. 500ish planets vs 8. 250+ influence rating. My fleet didn't even break a nail.....

Those econ booms in particular are vital to an exceptional score.  Always hated that assasination event...I want to control when I go to war and with whom!

Ya forgot Magnumaniac. He got about 1.06M in a TA game. There are only about 5 or 6 others to break 700K as well. So any game that scores in that region should never be scoffed at.

I'm heading for over 700k with my current HUGE map game, so I guess that puts me in pretty good company. :grin:

Nope, that pic is my cat Scratch.  He disapeared in August 2007, and never came back.  We only had him for a year, but he is greatly missed...

Why'd your family move mADDYman? And good luck of course at the new school.

coz my dad's found agood deal over here. We're buying Textile supplies from a reasonabloe size dealer over here and we plan to sell to a firm over in Holand. my dad has a knack for languge around europe and certian parts of asia so he's been hired as a mediator. But the job requires us to stay for a while (coz there's going to be more work than just the Holand trades) so we won't be moving any time soon. gives me a chance to actually relax for a while.

the good thing is I took my friends with me :D, isn't the internet such a wonderful thing?

Oh and my new school's alright. I'm majoring in Physics and Information technology at the moment, and the people there are ok. Not one of the best schools in the world but it's ok.

Here's hoping 6th grade is very different in the states than it is here as a girl in 6th grade would be about 11 ys old here.

It's not even high school yet.......

Most 6th graders here in the states are both 11 and 12, don't worry most of the girls in the 6th grade at my school are 12 and also I'm in 8th grade (which in the states is still Middle School) so it only makes a 2 year age difference.
