Breoghan Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 When does a position die? When its homeworld is taken? Or is it a case of taking it down to the last rag-tag ground unit stuck on some obscure moon where no one thought to look, and making rude gestures at the rest of the universe, telling 'em to bring it on!?

RTGRuss Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 (edited) When does a position die? When its homeworld is taken? Or is it a case of taking it down to the last rag-tag ground unit stuck on some obscure moon where no one thought to look, and making rude gestures at the rest of the universe, telling 'em to bring it on!? As far as officially dead...tracking down every single ship, every ground unit and every populated world where ships could be constructed and/or ground units could be raised. It's very Battlestar Galactica that way In reality...not everybody is interested in a Battlestar Galactica scenario and losing their only/last homeworld is often enough to inactivate an empire. Just demonstrating a clear superiority in tech and/or material might be enough in some cases but...defense is a viable option in SuperNova and there are plenty of folks in this galaxy that will fight you to the last and spit in your eye as the last fortress dies and the final ground battle looms... It just depends on who you run into Best of luck! Russ P.S. Excellent point by Hobknob too - as long as you have friends in the galaxy there is always hope Edited April 8, 2008 by RTGRuss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hobknob Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 A position dies when the owner of it decides that it is dead. At least one HW has been reclaimed by the original owner so that is not the end. I also know of several other positions that have lost HW's and played waiting for liberation of said HW by allies.

Kurassier Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 When does a position die? When it can no longer receive shipments from HBOB! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breoghan Posted April 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 When does a position die? When it can no longer receive shipments from HBOB! But as I understand it, there's nowhere in the universe that can't get supplies in so that doesn't really count (unless of course, the customer has been cut off for over-indulging).

Only get cutoff if you don't pay your tab. Of course we can ship anywhere in the universe, but we do need somewhere to actually deliver the goods.

El Capitan Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 When it can no longer receive shipments from HBOB! So taking you, as Chief Brewmaster, out of the game is an essential step in defeating any enemies. Works for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breoghan Posted April 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 I dunno - I have a couple of friends who own bars and pubs. They tell me that it is supply suicide to dump on the delivery guy. You might want to consider that. (Conversely, being nice to them is supposed to have a beneficial effect!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Capitan Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 Conversely, being nice to them is supposed to have a beneficial effect! Hmmm......amusing concept, I suppose. But you make it quite obvious that you have not experienced first hand the "beneficial effects" of taking over another empire. I dunno - I have a couple of friends who own bars and pubs. They tell me that it is supply suicide to dump on the delivery guy. You might want to consider that. You do make a valid point here, but that's assuming that one actually wants, or is even interested in, the product. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breoghan Posted April 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 Errrm - don't tell Kurrasier, but I prefer homebrew. That way I can take care of my own needs. Never hurts to be polite though - well, not usually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So taking you, as Chief Brewmaster, out of the game is an essential step in defeating any enemies. Works for me. Actually, if the Sabeli Ecok were knocked out of the game (which of course is impossible at this point), the universe itself would implode. After all, who would deliver the ambrosia to the Pete and the Russ! Part of our success is knowing all the 'secret' ways to get around the universe.... Keep researching, you may get here someday.

Clan Elder 'Keen Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 A position dies when the owner of it decides that it is dead. At least one HW has been reclaimed by the original owner so that is not the end. I also know of several other positions that have lost HW's and played waiting for liberation of said HW by allies. All the time gathering intel from those native spies wandering around on their home turf... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but even then fragments of the Empire linger (e.g. abandoned Pathfinders, Imperial Flags/Pop Groups, etc.) in the universe. On the upside, at least my people don't get War Weariness from being at war with assorted fragments of abandoned Empires. -SK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
