If there were 21 hiveships in the same quadrant of pegasus as atlantis and upwards of perhaps 60, how many hiveships were there in the beginning of the Ancient/Wraith 100 years war?

Compare it to the US fighting against the entire world or the USA vs Vietcong/Iraqi resistance.Last edited by Gregorius; 04 June 2006, 12:45 AM.Signed,

Originally posted by GregoriusI disagree. The Ancients could win one on one, but if they're outnumbered 1:10 or even 1:5 they can't win especially if you haven't fought a war for a long time (Like the Ancients).

Also losses in Iraq are do to ground warfare. It's very different. Space combat is based, for a large part, on technology. The best way to compare it to modern terms I guess would be the Navy or the Air Force. Iraq cannot possibly hope to go up against the USAF or Navy.

as i said in another thread michael said there were not enough food at the rise of the wraith 10,000 years ago. meaning the thousands of planets the ancients seeded life to having all of them advance (probably farther than tollan tech) would have millions- billions of people each. if thats not enough food to feed the wraith there must have been millions of hives. (probably severely diminished by ancients and the combined stregnth of all the other PG plannets who advanced a great deal)
last count may be slightly exhadurated, hundreds of theousands - a million.Their white flags are no match to our guns!!

I think the TPTB might have shot themselves in the foot by saying the 60 hiveship thing as everyone is taking that as written down law. There should be a lot more considering the capabilities of the Ancients and how the Wraith have been made weaker recently.
Anyway people are also forgetting that the Lanteans were not prepared for a war in the Pegasus galaxy. I mean do we know those ships like Aurora were constructed in Pegasus or brought there? if brought that might mean they lacked construction facilities to make more and just had those that they brought with them. If they built it in Pegasus then it might mean that they are damn difficult to build and the Lanteans with their limited population could not hope to build a fleet that could out number the Wraith who were far more numerous.—
