CMN DD: Don't have an email though, does anyone else?

Large, Random map (Edited by a CMN)
Erosion, Native Life, Clouds - average
Oceans - Start with 30-50% of the map, and carve it to about 50%-70%

Game settings:

All victory conditions are on (Max players for co-op = 2)
Look First: On
Tech Stag: Off
Spoils of War: Off
Intense Rivalry: Off
Directed Research (pick your own techs)
Unity Survey (map visible, unfortunately)
Pods are scattered
No Random Events
Time Warp: Off
Iron Man: Off (allows players to save in middle of turn and return to game if something comes up)

Rules:

• Communications - None until in-game contact, obtain commlink, or build EG
• SE switch "quickies" forbidden - (obviously you can experiment to see what effect various SE choices have, but cannot change, play moves, then change back in the same turn)
• Council notification - immediate broadcast to all players (Post in the thread and e-mail to all immediately by player who has called elections, citing candidates and votes. After each player's turn, post in the thread the running totals)
• Do not place Stockpile Energy in your build queues
• Crawlers Upgrade anytime - OK
• Probe actions: Must choose vendetta option when probing other players, unless you have previously gained permission to probe by e-mail.
• You cannot bribe the AI on council votes nor to demand withdrawal of units
• Cannot use the right click feature for multiple drop moves to extend range (ie limited to 8 tiles unless owning the Space Elevator SP)
• Cannot use the 'set waypoint' feature for automatic worm hunting/lifecycle enhancements
• Must 'Accept' or 'Decline' an offered Pact or Treaty that the other player has indicated 'Accepted' before exiting the diplo box and playing the turn (i.e. no accepting pending treaties/pacts *after* declaring vendetta in the same turn )
• Cannot use the F4 feature (or the bases feature of the F2 screen) to change an infiltrated faction's workers to specialists.
* You cannot trade bases with the AI. It is okay to gift a base to the AI.

SF, did you send the right turn? It's labeled 2108.

SmartFart · August 8, 2002, 14:19

I hope so. 2109 is on its way now.

guys, the map isn't the only thing that's different.

it only cost me 24 ecs to change my SE as opposed to the 40 ecs i was saving up for, which means this is definitely not transcend.

not even close, and there's AI in this game.

2110 to SF.

I don't think we ever decided one way or the other about the AI. But the map and the difficulty are definitely not what we requested. Oh, well, I don't mind just continuing on if it's all right with you guys.

smhfan86 · August 9, 2002, 17:42

I'll continue too, even though the AI will be pushovers.

It's the same for us all anyway.

...to Archaic.

I don't mind continue either.
