I'd like to make some suggestions for game settings that may be different from what is proposed:
-Number of Systems = [10 * # of Players] (Edit the Settings.txt file to insure a good volume)
-Quad Type: Spiral Arm (Most diversity of planet types)
- No Computer Players (regardless of how many players are in, no neutrals or enemy AI empires)
-Victory Conditions:
-Peace: 2.5 years (25 turns)
-Victory conditions only apply after: 2.5 years (25 turns)
-Game Version: 1.11 with NO edited technology, just play as it stands.
Oh, and my e-mail is (drum-roll)
