Re: PBW \"newbie game\"
I'm in Letharg's PBW game, 10 humans and 10 AI's. Lots of fun, only marginally slower than our newbie games were. At top speed we did 3 turns a day, usually one a day, won't ever reach the record we had in Newbie I of 8 turns one night.
I'd say 6-8 players is about right, plus maybe another 6 AI races (non-neutral). AI on high difficulty, medium bonus. Intelligence disabled (due to 1.41 bug). Spiral arm Large galaxy. Starting with at least 3 planets, max 5 planets start. Good planet starting value, to get to the interesting stages faster. Victory conditions: 400% of second place player, or 1 year of peace after 5 years. 3000 racial points.
How does that sound? If you all like it I might host it myself. Invite any friends whom you know from other games , knowing that they roleplay well.
