We started a Twilight Imperium III game last night. We expect to be through it in about 6 weeks.<\/p>\n

Some of the highlights:<\/p>\n

Ben is a virus. Coincidentally so is the race he\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s playing in TI3. He\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s attacked both Mike and I. He\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s doing it so his race can copy our technologies. I think we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll attack him back because we want to.<\/p>\n

The dice have been rolling pretty well for me, which is unusual. I expect that to end very soon. I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve also been lucky on the random counters that are place on planets. So far all have been good. Speaking of planets, my home world is surrounded with them. That\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s another good thing. I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve also been able to grab an artifact for a victory point. (I think Owen is eyeing it though.) Ben the Virus has been my only real issue. But not for long.<\/p>\n

Mike has been steadily building troops, grabbing planets, and claiming victory points. Unless Ben the Virus or Owen do something soon, he\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll be too powerful to stop. I believe he currently has the most victory points. On the upside, he does have an armada heading for Ben the Virus\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 home world.<\/p>\n

Owen got crappy worlds to start with. Then he\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s had crappy luck with taking over planets. His dice rolling has also been horrendously bad. All this has led to some slow grow for Owen, but he\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s building momentum now. I see him becoming a problem for the peace-loving race to his left (me). One thing I have learned is to never count Owen out of the game\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6unless he attacks his peace-loving neighbor to the left.<\/p>\n

(Last picture is the final shot before we stopped for the night.)<\/p>\n
