From what I've been able to see as Imperial Eye, Malignatus is as good as Li Halan Territory now.  I suppose Criticorum is too.

My advice?  Conquer De Moley.  If someone can tell me how to properly take a screenshot of this ancient game, I'll show you why.

De Moley has stronger ground troops than Li-Halan, Al-Malik and Decados combined. And orbital bombardment is next to useless against what the neutrals got there.

Not sure, but I think he was joking.

IIRC, in the Fading Suns verse, De Moley is the home to some band of warrior monks or some such, and thus is supposed to be a tough nut to crack.  Is there something on that world that makes it worthwhile?

It has more factories, starports and alike than other planets. But you would have to fight Mega Tanks and other high end units.

Not really, except a couple monasteries and some high tech infrastructure.  Yeah, I was more jokingly referring the unholy masses of megatanks, assault guns, and hordes of DNA Assault and Ranger legions.  I nearly lost my Eye transport landing on it, and balked at the Army of Hell marching around.  There's more badass troops there than on all of Byzantium.

Anyway, my turn is done.

I have a proposal.  Everybody set all your churches to the 'default' for your house.  Just for fun's sake.

The house rules we are playing by include an rule not to change church sects because the system is so very broken.  I suppose that's a rule you could thumb your nose at without changing the game too much, but I don't recommend it all the same.

De Moley is also a Barren planet, meaning, it's a trace bonanza.

Turn done and sent.

Hey, mainiac, do you think you could post the galaxy map of our current game, for the sake of our audience?(which is a misnomer, I guess. nevermind)
Or at least tell us how do you make a screenshot, please.

IIRC, the only screenshots I was able to take were with the map editor, not in game.  Map editor let's you do normal screenshots.

Yeah yeah, my Longest Day ended, so I just finished and sent the turn.  Votin' time next turn.

I've changed my churches back to Orthodox, for compliance's sake.  And the protection of Hawkwood rule now stretches over a fourth world.

Finished mine as well.

Aqizzar: I think that the reason for not changing sects was that it doesn't do anything apart from making all your troops on given planet loose 5% loyalty every time you do so. So, while I might be wrong, it's possible that you've just made your forces 10% less loyal.
