New PBW RPG Game: Strange Races 2
Hey all, I am going to start another Strange Races game. The first game is still going, but not to the expectations I had for it. I request that only serious players sign up for this game as that is the problem with the first game. Someone dropped when the RPG aspect was in full swing and it severely changed the game. Anyway, here are the settings, if you are interested, please sign up (note that I have made a few changes from the first game);
For many generations, your scientists have been studying the stars. It was only 100 years ago that they discovered there were other planetary systems within your galaxy. They have yet to be able to explain the limits of your galaxy, much is still unknown. Talk and rumors of alien life out there has been running rampant within your populace. Most of your population is anxious, although some are wary, as the day of your first intergalactic colony ship deployment draws near and your scientists promise even more advances as the years go by. Will you find extraterrestrial existence? If you do, will they be friendly? Will you be able to establish a mutually beneficial alliance or bring war upon your people? The answers can only be found in the stars so lead your race into the future! Starting resources: 100000 Starting planets: 1 Home planet value: Good Score display: Own Technology level: Low Racial points: 5000 Quadrant type: FQM Dense Paradise Quadrant size: Medium Event frequency: Medium Event severity: Medium Technology cost: High Victory conditions: Last Man/ Last Alliance (Max 2 in alliance) Maximum units: 5000 Maximum ships: 2000 Computer players: None Computer difficulty: N/A Computer player bonus: N/A Neutral empires: No Other game settings: NO: PPB, APB, MB, Mines, Intel, Stellar Manip., Ancient Race, Religious Technology, Technology Trades, Ship Trades, Pop Swapping Must take 1 and only 1 Advanced Racial Technology (i.e. Temporal, Organic, Psychic, Crystalline) Surrender allowed to attacking empire only.

Hey Gand. How about trades and gifts all together. And make it a rule NO TRADES NO GIFTS.
That way if you want something you will have to go to war for it.... |
Re: New PBW RPG Game: Strange Races 2
The reason I say this that in Strange Race 1 everyone has a military alliance...

Re: New PBW RPG Game: Strange Races 2
High Tech Cost and Tech Trading allowed - makes the actual gaming irrelevant, only problem is to form a good and effective tech trading alliance. Though tempted, I'll not join a PBW game with tech trading allowed (ship trading and analysing is bad enough) - unless its a 1-on-1 http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif
I know that from similar games, it is too much emphasis on diplomacy and/or prearranged alliances due to personal knowledge (happens), and the actual strategy game aspect has little effect. I prefer planing, managing and solving problems like too many borders for too few fleets http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/rolleyes.gif |
