i will probably put a 1 year timer on there just incase someone gets off to a lucky start with the score. i usually only put timers on games where 'peace' is an option for victory, so I initially left it off of this one.

I have a game that is about 65 turns in, and the player leading the tech race has 120 levels, and thats all through research. at 4-5 tech levels per colony, it will take you arround 60 colonies to hit 60%. anyone know how long it takes to get 60 colonies on a medium cluster map with 'only colonize own type' enabled?

I will try running a one player test game on the quadrant type to be used, and see how long it takes to do. I intend to generate the map by editing the ruins probability on the cluster quadrant and generating it randomly from that, so if inquiring minds want to know, that is how I plan on getting a fair (unknown to me) random map for the game.
