dacole · September 9, 2003, 19:14

Greetings anyone out there interested in an SMAC game? Only requests I have is huge to large map, at least one turn a day, directed research, and I'd rather not play the believers any CMNs as well would be appreciated, thanks!!

ill take peacekeepers.

DilithiumDad · September 15, 2003, 09:41

You already have 4, not sure how many you need! But I can take one of the other factions. Hive is OK.

dacole · September 15, 2003, 15:26

Ok guess I better make a faction choice here before they are all filled up! I would prefer either the hive or the spartans. How many people do you want to wait for? I wouldn't mind waiting for the rest of this week to see if we can get seven? Can all of you commit to one turn (at least) a day? Thanks!

Makahlua · September 16, 2003, 01:07

Yeah, unless my turn gets here in the middle of the night, then you'll have to wait for me to finish my beauty sleep

jschwab · September 18, 2003, 01:25

A turn a day should be no problem. We'll want teh rotation of turns set to best allow this though.

Ok...anyone know how to do that? I'm on the east coast of the united states (not the very coast thankfully) where is everyone else located. Never been able to get the turn order to follow any sort of order I had in mind.

Makahlua · September 18, 2003, 22:47

I'm in Texas, which is CST - afaik everyone except h0bbes is in the US - he's in Australia, so one turn a day seems about right.

Humm, I ithnk we'd have to take the appropriate faction for that to work, unless the CMN could set it? I sure don't know how

dacole · September 20, 2003, 21:51

ok I'll check and see if I can find a cmn..

I can CMN, if you want. Let me know what settings your interested in, as well as if you want a tweaked AI, or a tweaked Alphax.txt file, and I'll proceed accordingly.

All right! Thanks! For me settings are directed research huge random map do or die rest negotiable. Tweaked AI hmm na don't think so not sure how you could tweak the alpha.txt file if anyone else has any good ideas on this front let me know!

When I say "tweaked AI" why I am referring to giving the AI's in a game some advantages, such as sweetened starting locations (i.e. nutrient/ mineral bonuses, or starting in the Jungle, etc.), or a preferable Secret Project.
As far as tweaking the Alphax.txt file, why many different things can be done here. For instance, you can change the intensity of Artillery damage, or enable your Sea Formers to build Sea Buoys and Sea Boreholes, or be able to build submarines with Doc: Init , and Aircraft Carriers with Doc: AP. I can also sink the Unity Wreckage and give its discoverer a Unity Submersible, instead of the traditional Mining Laser! So if you choose to edit the Alphax.txt file, its almost a "Wish List" as far as what people want for a game - its more what eveyone agrees upon as far as a game is concerned, and from there its wide open....

can I join? Is this Alien Crossfire game?

dacole · September 21, 2003, 20:02

Fine by me if you want to join, what does everyone else think? It's a straight AC game though not ACX. So what kind of setting does every body want..? I'm ok with leaveing the alpha.txt file the way it is though getting submarines early might be interesting (and more realistic) have never used them really by the time I get them sea power is an after thought. If you want to give the computer choice starting positions thats ok as well!

What does everyone else think?

DilithiumDad · September 22, 2003, 15:17

The easiest way to boost the AI is to give them some forest around their start site. Makes up for their terrible terraforming choices!

SmartFart · September 22, 2003, 16:39

I would like to play long term game.

I'll take Morgan if you have one more free spot left.
