Wars lost

from GalCiv2 Forums
Hey all, I just wanted to hear some stories about the wars lost by you guys. My worst war lost was to the Snathi. I was able to beat the mercenaries of the galaxy, can't remember their name, but I lost to the Snathi! Squirrels that are after more than just nuts from a tree! Oh well, I guess that my empire was meant to be ruled by little fury creatures.

I had a three way alliance going (Myself custom, Humans, and Altarins) vs. the Arceans and Drenjin. We proberbly would have won (I was averaging 11-1 kill rates... not bad if I do say so), but he culture snowball kicked in, and suddenly the Arcean culture was causing rebellions in planets two sectors away from thier nearest base. It was kinda hard to fight that, my empire was smart, but not big (huge gal, tight clus, few stars), and so i couldn't hold anything I took from them (would be in rebelion five turns later or so). Then the Drenjin begain to bet the Altarins like the family mule, so it went down hill quick. Eventually, with only a couple colonies left, I destroyed them myself to prevent them from falling into enemy hands (Masada style).

I've never lost a war. Unless giving alot of money to your enemy to make him go away counts as losing the war.

But then again, I've never played beyond gifted. I'm sure at genius the computer would throttle me.

The Iconians raped my empire with just transports...

Horrible, horrible. They sent one transport at my undefended Research planet (at the time, none of my planets had defense), I rush-built a defender and sent it to my Research planet, but couldn't afford to rush-build any others. I thought my little Defender would protect my research planet from any future transport agression, only to see six Iconian Dropships appear on the edge of my two undefended economic planets... crippled my empire beyond repair...

My first game after I bought the game.
I was playing as human, on beginner difficulty, after a while the Arceans owned the Dengin, Yor and slowly the Altereans. The Altereans asked for my help so I decided to attack the Arceans. I had a whole bunch of fleets surrounding one Arcean world I figured I was gonna overkill them... I was soo wrong. The defenses around the planet took out everything I threw at them. And even worse they were sending ships in to destroy my troop transports. So yeah bad times.
