It wasn't my fault, it was the map. Yeah, thats my story and I'll stick with it.
The truth: I gambled and lost. I colonized, he built ships.

Beeing a slow learner, I'll try another challenge:

Anyone up for: Primitives Challenge 2 to be played on this map:


With these settings:
- 5 planet start
- Full tech
- No intel
- No Stellar Manipulation
- No Talisman
- 3,000 racial points

The map should be balanced (computer generated, only editet a few spacelanes). A quick count of planets says there are a little less Hydrogen planets, and of course there are no None Gasplanets so the None planets will be smaller on average. I have not checked how the planets are distributed but it looks to be plenty of everything everywhere. BTW, I will play Oxygen and take Ancient to offset that I have seen the map. My opponent (if I can get any ), can also get a peak of the map before the start if he takes Ancient. Top or bottom start position will be random.

Any takers ?

BTW:
If anyone else want to try this setup or or something else on this map, I'll be happy to run the game
Wednesday and still silence. Perhaps they are scared of the hoardes. Or maybe the game settings are a bit "radical" for them.
