Default Re: Are you tough enough to be the \"King of the Hi

I would recommend a "no Alneyan as game creator" setting too. I screw up all the games I host for Slynky, while not screwing up any of my other games. I even managed to screw up twice last time, with the map (somewhat annoying) and the "no mines" part (very annoying).

Multiple homeworlds are pretty much random, so even though your starting points *were* balanced (with the WM layout anyhow), the other two homeworlds can end up pretty much anywhere. That's why I tend to use the bigger small maps when setting up games with multiple homeworlds... though I must have used the Medium setting for this particular game (or I changed the maximum amount of systems, which would have the same result).

No colony tech could mean removing the other two colony techs, but I feel a better option would be to switch on "Cannot settle colony types other than your native colony type", therefore allowing you to pick any of the colony types.
