New game idea for PBW...
 

Hey, I just came up with an idea for a PBW game. I was thinking maybe a game using DevnullMod... With Space Monsters in it. I was also thinking either making it humans vs. AI with about 5 humans with 15 AIs, and 1 of those being the Monsters. That'd make it a little bit challenging. If we had that many AI's with human vs. AI then I'd possibly use TDM races with the Space Monsters. (Is that possible?)

Or the other way would be to have the Space Monsters with no other AIs and then 7 or 8 humans. This would be in a large (255) galaxy map of course.

Medium tech start; 5000 point; 100,000 resources; good planet value; 3 or 5 planet start, maybe 10 if the majority wanted it.

What's everyone think. This game is still in the works and won't start till we get everything figured out. Let me know.

EDIT: typos, I probably still missed some.

Yes, a game with monsters would be cool. I wanted to make a very similar game to this, but just had too many games going on at that moment. I am curious, why do you want to have so many AIs to be around. Just the Monsters would be better (IMHO, of course). Also why would you want to play in a huge (255) galaxy?

Anyway, all the monster stuff can be copied and made to work with the standard game. IIRC someone said, they wanted to do it, but I don't remember who or if it was ever done. One thing to keep in mind, though. Some of the techs in Devnull Mod are pretty helpful against the monsters. The external missiles can overwhelm the monster PD and keep those buggers of your back for a while (until the next generation arrives http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif ).

With 5000pts and many starting planets, I assume the monsters will be very tough. Sounds like fun.
