New PBW game - Great Experiment 3
 
Geochmo,

Will you start a Great Experiment3 game anytime soon ?

what was one and two?

Re: New PBW game - Great Experiment 3
 
you start with 3 colony ships, and nothing else. No homeworld, no research, nothing.

Well, Geo did include point defense 1, but that was it.

There was quite a few AI also. I remember meeting the cryslonite early on was no fun. But the game was good.

I think it was medium AI and no bonus. But I am not sure.

Sounds like a very interesting game set up....
I'd be on the team.

For those of you familiar with TGE 1 and 2, this time you will be the ones left behind. No colony ship. Just a planet laid bare by the ancients and a few people left to rebuild your shattered empire.

The Great Experiment III (Link to game on PBW)

Your people were once proud and strong. Your empire once spanned the all the lights of the night sky visible from your homeworld. Your ships traveled between them with impunity. You stood among the races of the galaxy and held your head high. You were the masters of your domain.

Or so the old stories go. For you have no knowledge of those times except in the tattered remains of a few dusty books passed down from generations long gone. In all of your years, and those of your father before you, and your fathers father, your people have led a hard scrabble life. Scraping by in the bones of the old cities of another age. Your people that once were as numberless as the stars above, now number a pitiful few souls.

But the old knowledge long forgotten is being remembered again. You are no longer content to merely exsist. Your people’s long dormant longing to ply the blackness of space is once again stirring.

You look once again to the stars…

Starting resources: 5000
Starting planets: 1 ***You will be given one medium world, with no facilities on it, and only 1 Million in population
Home planet value: Average
Score display: Own
Technology level: Low
Racial points: 2000
Quadrant type: random
Quadrant size: Depends on number of players
Event frequency: None
Event severity: Low
Technology cost: High
Victory conditions: What you make of it
Maximum units: Max
Maximum ships: Max
Computer players: Medium depending on number of players
Computer difficulty: High
Computer player bonus: Medium
Neutral empires: No
Other game settings:
No Ancient Race (you can redicover tech, but the knowledge of the stars is gone until you go out and explore them again)
Maybe if I think of something else before the game starts.

Re: New PBW game - Great Experiment 3
 
I am thinking to give the AI high difficulty and medium bonus. This time around they will have the same poor start as the humans. Maybe if we have enough players we will go without AI alltogether. Actually I guess we could do that even with few players on a small map. You guys can let me know which way you prefer on that. If we go with AI I don't think they will be as significant a threat as they were Last time.

I know I shouldn't, but I will join the game nevertheless. (No matter how hard I tried, I could not resist the urge to join this game. *Shrugs*)

I would rather play without any AI if we have enough players. We will see if many volunteers sign up for this peculiar experience. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">I would say we need AI. An atraction in TGE is that AI are a treat because you are so weak when you start the game. But I am not sure about medium bonus. A player starting near 2 agresssive medium bonus AI would be in a difficult situation.
What about low bonus ?

Then, could we have 36h turns ? I am usually able to get a turn per day, byut sometime I need a few extra hours.

AMF December 30th, 2003 09:11 PM
Re: New PBW game - Great Experiment 3
 
Second that. In fact, anything less than 48 hrs is pretty tough for me on occasion.

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Well, I would agree with TGE 1 and 2 the AI were nice because of the challange. But you maybe didn't understand my Last point. This time around the AI(if any) will be in exactly the same situation as you. A homewolrd with 1 mil pop and no faciliites. That's the reason I was suggesting giving them medium bonus. I have run some tests and they seem to do a decent job of rebuilding the HW. But knowing they won't be the threat they were in the first two games, would you still be as interested in having them?

PvK
<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">My first impulse would be not to. I typically try to avoid setting up games with more than one "hook". As it is strategies and empire setup are going to have to be reevaluated for the minimalized start, and throwing the balance mod in there just complicates that. However, I am always open to the wishes of the players. If they want to use it I won't object.

I was in TGE 2 and it was a lot of fun, even though I made the mistake of taking bloodthirsty as my happiness type and did not realize what I had done until my people started rioting after signing a couple of treaties. I would enjoy another "type" of game.

I would not want to further confuse things by attaching a "mod" to it. I think the game setup itself is sufficient odds. I would accept AI's to participate with.

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">I understood your point, but I never run any test to see how do fare AIs in that particular setting.
The fun of TGE1&2 was that AI were a real threat when you started the game, but if you survived the first 2 years they were dead meat. What you have created here is quite different. So let's see how it will play, but I will fight to the bitter end anyway.

I've requested to join the game (yeah, like who cares, right? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif ).

Posting here to say that I have received a request from a rated player to be rated in this game. Of course, we need at least 2 for this to happen. I haven't decided yet (based on final game settings) so, there is still only one requesting a rating.

Are there any others at this point?

Yes, I agree. I just sent out the following news, for those of you who don't get or check the emails...

Players, I need you to get your empire files uploaded so we can start
this game. I am not waiting for anymore players. If someone else applies
to join I will accept them, but if everybody that is in the game now
gets their empire file in I will start. If you don't upload your empire
file by tommorow or contact me with a reason by then why you haven't I
will assume you have lost interest and boot you from the game.

Re: New PBW game - Great Experiment 3
 
One might assume if a person is slow in getting an empire file in that person will be slow in getting turns in. (of course, being on auto-36...hehe...slowness here might not be a problem).

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">I admit I am in the same bag, I am already playing too many games, and I signed up for another one. My own lateness for uploading the Empire file is for the same reason, I couldn't decide which sort of Empire I wanted to play.

Ok, I ended up going with 100k starting points because I realized in a test game that with 5K starting points you don't have enough resources to build a space port and a mineral facility, and your economy crashes before you can get started. Don't want that to happen, so you all should have 50K in storage now. Also you probably got a few techs researched with the first turn. That was all because of the AI using those 100K research points. What you have now is what you will have until you rebuild your homeworld.

Good luck.

OK, it's counter-intuitive, but I presume that the AI tried to build a space port before anything else becuase I can't use ANY resources until I have a spaceport, even though I'm not really transporting those resources off my crappy homeworld, right?

thanks,

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">You need a space port even for your homeworld to get full value from your resource facilities. For systems outside your homesystem you get nothing without a space port. For your homesystem you get a fraction, 50% I think but I can't remmeber, without a space port. Yes, it's a bit counter intuitive. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif
