Basically, any setting is legal, but these are standard/most common:
- Standard racial points are default SEIV settings: 2000.
- Standard Map is small spiral with no ruins, but many choose a Tesco ™ Map (Balanced starting positions) instead.
- Standard is 1 normal (medium) planet. Some prefer good (large) instead (easier to manage resources at the start). 3 starting planets are also widely used (shaves about 10 turns off the game).
- Intel is on, unless both players want it off.
- Many players prefer a “No Ancient” rule. Again, both have to agree.
So the usual way to do this is to e-mail (or post here) the other guy with your preferred settings. Doesn’t have to be more than:
How bout: Tesco map, 3 Good planets, No Intel and No Ancient?
When you have agreed, send the info to Asmala. Nothing to it
