How long before Dominance?
In most likely the smallest universe ever. How long will it before the winning 'block' is overwhelmingly made supreme. Will it be R6 with no real stagnation due to their being 3 blocks. Or will it be like Round 5/7 with a severe lack of roid for the winning block. Or will the fact that the blocks will comprise about 1/4 of the whole set of PA planets prove that nobody will 'win'
Opinions please

You have to remember that the universe has gotten smaller, and as such so have the alliances. Hence we should not be ruling out the smaller non-blocked alliances.

it doesn't matter how long the game takes to become onsided ... pa always does it is still not a reason to give up .. when ppl give up that is when the dominace begins and the game ends fight to the end u might not win the war but u can still win the battles

Maybe someone should tell spinner to shorten the round and take the prices down a bit for it take 1 month off that should be 1/3 the price

i'm hoping that two months into the round theres no clear winner, but one can only dream.
Realistically, i can see about 4 maybe 5 weeks of fun and chaos at least though

Hmm my guess is 4-5 weeks if the war starts directly... Since by then some alliances have been hit repeatedly and then there will be a block that is supreme. The only hope for the war to last longer is if the block split and don't have too many shared galaxies...
Or maybe if most of those alliances, that haven't chosen a side in the war from the beginning, side with the loosing block. But that probably won't happens since it's always easier to sde with a winning block.

No stagnation, but b0redom
Between 700-800 ticks it will occur, cos then every1 has been attacked & no1 is left to attack
Assuming a 1k player universe that is

I thinki we'll see more than 1k players if im honest, try along the lines of 3-5k. Things playerbase wise are not as bad as they seem.

gonna say the full 2 months, on the sort of dominance that xeta/fos achieved at their hight against furgion r6 (ie furgion still able to recover alot of power by the end, also still having top 50 gals and top 100 planets)
i say this because eclipse and olympians (certainly the latter) have people i know dont simply give up. ne side that seems on top and lets go a bit may well be bitten in the ass

often the loser gets a few good licks in towards the end as the dominating side gets bored with no one putting up a fight.... so inactivity sets in, that is when the committed few stirke back and claim a few victories

Getting to be the number 1 planet is a piece of piss if you can dedicate enough time too it, its just staying there that seperates the great, from the good.

i reckon 6-7 weeks before dominance though this depends on which way the 3 blocks go (2v1 or 1v1v1)
