Kzinti Empire - offical empire thread

By Posted November 15, 2007 21:29:55

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 another 80 octals of days since that auspicious day.  We leapt past the other empires, and our mighty domain now encompasses over 21 million more light years than the second most powerful empire.  The most recent Galactic Map data shows that we have subjugated over 43.4% of this 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 almost 16 months 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!

I left it running last night. It was done when I got up. So it looks like I can upgrade at least 7300 ships at once.

Sweet.  So you slept, what 2 hours? [e digicons][/e]

Hey jaclkv, nice 1.27 Million Point Game!!!! Your character now has more points than most entire empires!

October 27, 2009 18:20:25

Thanks Snark.  The most fun I've had for a while...the play was quick and smooth. 

Points?  Maybe it's time for the rebellion!!!!! [e digicons]XD[/e]

Random question: what's the highest logistics ability anyone has ever gotten? I need a frame of reference.

November 4, 2009 22:13:03

The most I've had is 54.  Snark had like double that in TA.

November 5, 2009 11:01:17

I have 99 right now in a game I'm playing. Every major race built a Hyperion Logicstics Sytems, and i bought, extorted, orflipped those planets. Forgot to build one myself though. Doh!!

November 5, 2009 11:39:01

Good, I was just seeing what others had done before I bragged about the 100 I have now, soon to be 106. I don't think I'd ever seen anything above 90 before.

November 5, 2009 19:17:33

Nice!  I think the highest I've had is just 70-something.  I'm generally too impatient to wait for the AIs to build wonders.

I am the newest member of the Empire. I am drinking to the health of our Empire!

How in the galaxy am I 'very evil'?

November 6, 2009 14:10:53

Just lucky, I guess. [e digicons]:grin:[/e]

Thanks! I need that I should really be getting along with my first game now.
November 8, 2009 11:16:46

Nice, I am very much looking forward to Elemental.  Master of Magic was one of my favorite games, and I'm very excited to see what it's "successor" is going to be like.

Just finished and posted my first game - man, conquest victories on abundant planets are tedious, even with a small galaxy. I just can't imagine how you guys finish on gigantic galaxies. It must be INSANE. Anyway, the game was quite satisfying and very easy as well. Time to go up to Tough and a bigger galaxy.

This game ended up with slightly less than 20000 points, but I am happy with it.

The biggest thing I have learned from this game is that the MCC is simple AWESOME! Without it, the game would have run a lot longer. A careful use of influence starbases towards the end when I was running low on transports made the game end very quickly. I love evil now just because of the MCC itself!

I have earned the Ensign medal too! W00t!

November 20, 2009 18:13:44

Congrats arunodayt! [e classic]:congrat:[/e]   The MCC is assuredly the best structure in the game.  Never underestimate the power of the Dark Side.

Thanks! The conquest of the galaxy continues.

BTW, I had earlier come across some old posts that people were joining the Kzinti Empire to get the first place medal. Well, maybe some people do, and that would be quite shallow indeed. But I have to say that the support I am getting for such an old game from the experienced Kzinti is just awesome.

You guys rock! Cheers! [e digicons]:beer:[/e]

*Hopes for a secret medal for being chatty*

November 21, 2009 11:42:54

Some people did join for a medal, but most of our members joined before we had attained the top spot on the MV.  Whatever peoples' reasons for joining, they are welcome if they love the game (or predators, hehe), and every voice adds to our Empire community.  As long as people are decent ot each other anyone is welcome!  Only once did I exile someone from the empire, because theyhad been using a glitch to create multiple MV profiles and characters, which is considered cheating of a sort.
