I was playing as the Spartans last night. I did not want to begin a long and (not so) drawn out game. I started as the Spartans, tiny map, and ended up winning by conquest in 28 turns. I did not build conony pods, just 1-1-2 rovers, and eventually, my final rover built was 4-1-2. I never built a unit with a defense stength greater than 1, nor a former. I did use a probe team to infiltrate the hive's datalinks. Before this game, my fastest kill was 2277, but that was a game that I lost my patience trying to rack up an economic victory with Morgan.
I am wondering wheter I was just lucky, or wheter other people had other astoundingly quick kills. I was influenced partly into playing military faction/tiny/quick kill by 2250 by one of the players topics here in this forum. Would you all please tell me what are your fastest kills?

Cant remeber my fastest kill but if your going to play on timy maps this is going to happen - try a large map with lots of water and see where this gets you
