Default Re: New game starting on PBW, \"THE GREAT EXPIRIMENT\"

quote:
A small number of your race have been spared oblivion and will be used to populate a new galaxy.
May I suggest that you not give every empire all the starmaps?

Since this is a new galaxy, it is entirely reasonable.
Also, there will be some point to taking the "ancient race" trait. While the name of the trait does not really make sense, the maps would be somewhat useful.

Those with ancient race could head directly towards the planet they consider to be best, while the others wander.
Other races may try taking propulsion experts, follow the ancient race ship, then try to pass them when the good planet comes in view

Just trying to say that you don't have to make the ancient race trait useless in your game.

Another interesting option is a ringworld on the far side of the map: Is a race to the ringworld worth more to you than an early start on a smaller world?
