Re: New PBW game - Limited Resources 3. SEIV Veterans ONLY!
 

I applied to join the game.

But I'd rather see a 3 planet start, perhaps a FQM map, and like PvK suggested, his balance mod. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif

i forgot to join up. Ok I am in since stranger ended.

FQM is good if there is no damaging wp's or sectors.

But there would be way too many locations to mine from with FQM Standard.

p.s. make the game forum available to all ...

I'm really fairly mod-stupid. Should I look up the Balance mod, or can someone run it down for me real quick?

Why 3 planets, instead of 5?

Now that it's been mentioned, no trading what-so-ever could be fairly cool. That would also eliminate any advantage gained from one teammate meeting another teammate more quickly than the other teams...

Hmmm....

5 planets seems like a bit too many to start. Plus - you'll be throwing away all those resources at the beginning...

...and depending on the final number of players/map size - may provide little or no space to explore before first contact with other players.

Alright, proposed new settings:

3 planet start

NO TECH TRADING WHAT-SO-EVER!

Any nay-sayers?

Those sound good to me.

As for Balance Mod, it makes no changes other than to adjust the point costs for creating your empire, so that many more choices are competetive. You actually have to spend a fair number of points for your advantages - it is no longer an obvious choice to max combat skills, take berzerk, and minimize Physical Strength - all the costs should be more or less right, and taking the best of all the most important things is either not possible, or you'd need to minimize lots of other things. See the description at the mod's home page, which is in my signature below.

I just made and posted a new Version of PvK Balance mod to work seamlessly with the new Gold Patch 4.

No Tech no Population. But do not disable it.

Selling should be allowed.... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif
