The stars aligned to make an acquisition bonanza possible in the final hours of the cycle (+30, 1466). A patch revived rare goods trading and a serendipitous civil liberty/boom/expansion trifecta caused the generous archaeologists of Ngurii to make 600t allocations of Soontill Relics available. Of course, nobody can haul like we can.
Highlights included Arevat, Beara, Honir, Jimai, Mohangda, Nora, q2 Eridani, Rukarwadja, Yu Hsinda, and Xbalamana. Planners struggled to keep up with demand. Various player-built colonies, now with buffed populations ‘from the core systems’ were added to Aisling’s domains. Yo-yo systems Faros and Sarana were regained.
Standard reinforcement ops also progressed well as we joined Aunty Arissa as the second power with more than 100 strongholds. Isiti, key to our southern expansion plans, was successfully fortified. Most other powers also grew. Big Ed Mahon maintained his overall lead (+16, 1477), Li Yong was also hungry (+16, 876).
It was a less happy cycle for Imperial beefcake Denton Patreus (-12, 623). The two-headed Kumo Crew (+3, 643) mounted a successful assault on Tuareg which cost the Empire a clutch of systems. Our condolences.
We understand why our rivals take a close interest in stories of Imperial disharmony, and others snipe snidely at our community. Our shared borders are highly complex. As supporters of good neighbourliness we were pleased to facilitate negotiations to defuse tensions between Granny Torval and Daily Routine Inc. Meanwhile Pax Imperatoria, who have declined all olive branches, were expelled from Shatrughna.
We don’t expect this boom to last long, so let’s make the most of it and deliver the dynamic game-play the public and the developers want to see. A huge thanks from the Princess for your contributions to an epic cycle. Have fun out there.
Objectives for Cycle 518/2.27 (until May 8th)
