- Petting Zoo Four - Update #6 Report - We've had 6 updates so far in Petting Zoo Four. Almost all players have seen some combat action this early on, upon running into the Terminator, the protector of the expansion territory. Terminator occupies all expansion islands, and he packs a punch in protecting them. Players so far have encountered mils, planes, and units. Some players have successfully (luckily?) captured some Terminator planes, shells, and petrols (while not able to build any of these items themselves, yet) while capturing his territory. The tech leaders (it is log base 2 with 25% all-bleed) are able to build Cargo Ships to get their stuff hauled around. New in this game, is the shepherd land unit. A low tech unit (tech 10), he doesn't have much punch, but adds a much needed compliment to the sheeps in empire. Also new in this game, is the MASKED_POWER feature, where all digit characters in the power report have been replaced with a "?".

Players are forced to make a hard trade off between tech growth and expansion due to the cost of maintaining military to put the smack down on Termy. === The Bottom Line == beep seized twenty-seven sectors from Terminator Partimers seized twenty-five sectors from Terminator BlackBox seized twenty-two sectors from Terminator Bordello seized sixteen sectors from Terminator unemployed seized fifteen sectors from Terminator Resvon seized fifteen sectors from Terminator nuke_em seized thirteen sectors from Terminator Plundaria seized eleven sectors from Terminator Nova seized eleven sectors from Terminator EK seized eleven sectors from Terminator Outland seized nine sectors from Terminator Dorsai! captured seven sectors from Terminator LightCahill captured seven sectors from Terminator Raistmiche captured seven sectors from Terminator Snark captured six sectors from Terminator Chitzerlake took two sectors from Terminator Partimers stole one sector from BlackBox Lunachicks stole one sector from Terminator Petting Zoo Four is hosted at: sheepfarm.game-host.org:6666, with Deities Bungholio and Ski.
