Turn 8

This was the last turn before the game was interrupted by my trip to Barcelona. It was also the turn when the average Imperial Production exceeded 500 points and the average communications Tech level reached 2.

The game is clearly still in the initial Exploration and Colonisation phase. The Kellesonians and Strata Inc. showing strong growth.

Turn 9

The orders for this turn had to be in by September 1994, but the reports weren't sent out until December due to my trip to Barcelona (I had processed the orders before going and so putting them in the post was one of the first things I did on my return).

All the empires (except for the Caffeinians and the Drahmini) have now gained at least one colony.

The new Worati colony at N13 was (unknown to the Worati) going to be the first target of the Caffeinians once they discovered the world.

Turn 10

This turn saw the rapid growth of the Jerandi People's Republic as their colony ships reached the worlds which had been discovered.

The average Power Plant technology reached Tech Level 2. In practise, since the Tech Level 3 breakpoint was quite high this average meant that everyone had reached Tech Level 2!

The Drahmini made the Tech Level 4 breakthrough in Planetary Defences on this turn.

Turn 11

On this turn a second joint colony was formed, this time between the Worati and the Kellesonians. Again both powers had scanned the planet but not each other. This time the Worati had also sent armed ships, but a discussion between the Worati and the Kellesonians result in a joint colont being formed.

Average Imperial production exceeded 600 points on this turn and the average Ship Size Tech Level reached 2.

Elsewhere the Caffeinians scanned N13 and so could start their take the colonies from the other empires strategy into effect.

Turn 12

The map starts to look quite full following expansion by the Kellesonians in particular.

However in other respects this is a quiet turn with no new major breakthroughs.

Turn 0

This is the initial map for DOA2. Although the method used used place the planets was designed to bunch the planets in the centre, it is noticeable that the top left quadrant of the map is pretty empty. There are also quite a few clusters of planets that are a mere Jump-1 apart.

The planets were numbered from 1 to 100 starting at the top left (at A3) to the bottom right (P16)
