SMAC or SMAX? What map size? Directed or non-directed research?

t_ras · November 5, 2003, 19:01

self biased · November 6, 2003, 04:49

phsycho · November 6, 2003, 05:52

Basicall all the usual effects except you don't have an AI with certain built in advantages

Cost for SE changes-- drones come earlier (size 2 on transcend)-- formulas for ecodamage and research are also affected IIRC

My opinion on this game

DON'T DO IT

The completion rate for 7 player games is shockingly low. My completion rate on 7 player PBEM games is 0%-- while I love the idea of the diplomatic tangles inherent with 7 humans, I have never had one of these games come close to finishing.

So I will wish you well but be prepared for 3days between turns ( if things go well)

.. he is right you know... perhaps there's some way we could arrange for an IP game... once a week, we get togther for an hour, rather than a PBEM game...

t_ras · November 6, 2003, 17:05

I'm ok with 3 days between turns.

lets try. i have other games. if we finnish it fine

if not...well...lets enjoy it and that

I'd say 3 days between turns is a very positive estimate, especially considering the game is SMAC and the turn order can't be adjusted based on people's location.

phsycho · November 6, 2003, 18:09

YessS a real game once per week !

count me in

self biased · November 7, 2003, 01:56

well, phsycho... that might not be the case, but in any event, we'd prolly get more accomplished doing that.

t_ras · November 7, 2003, 09:37

ok the moment we get anough players we'll begin...

SmartFart · November 8, 2003, 06:53

Count me in.
I'll take Morgan.

zeljkacuric@lycos.com

Remark: If not transcend,I'll give it a miss.

Regards.

self biased · November 8, 2003, 16:00

sorry, didnt understand this one...

phsycho · November 11, 2003, 14:22

so .. only Miriam left
ha .. that should be no problem ... she is never "alone"

what if she will be played by God ? (cpu)

t_ras · November 11, 2003, 15:23

well she could...but AI are allways rather stupid.....

does any one care having one AI?
(i rather not but we might have to wait a litle long then....)

Net Warrior · November 11, 2003, 23:46

I've never, ever played Miriam, but I'd be willing to give it a shot.

phsycho · November 12, 2003, 05:23

perfect, i'll do the peacekeeping

where's the thread

self biased · November 12, 2003, 06:32

selfbiased @ hotmail . com (no spaces.)

and by trancendi, i mean people who will only play it under 'trancend' difficulty. i never actually quite made it that high...

t_ras · November 12, 2003, 09:23

still need rs farrel mail.

dont worry about tracend. though im sure we all take the AI's even at this level- playing with humans is totaly diferent....

rsfarrell · November 12, 2003, 16:03

Sent the e-mail.

It's rsfarrell@yahoo.com

t_ras · November 12, 2003, 16:51
