Hi,
I have started a new game: large mid-life without black holes, no events, 20000 resources, 3 average planets, low tech/med cost, 3000 pt empires, high difficulty, low bonus. I am using the following races added in random order: Rage, Toron, Xi'Chung, Dra'Kol, Piundon, Colonials, Norak, Vaxin, Space Vikings, Sergetti. I am playing the Pyrochette under full minister control (not getting the low bonus, so nevermind the Pyrochette's score which won't even show in the statistics).
Stats for turn 10 are posted as jpg.
diplomacy (turn 10)
Rage: war with Norak, none with Pyrochette
Toron: war with Piundon
Xi'Chung: no contacts
Dra'Kol: war with Vaxin
Piundon: war with Toron, none with Sergetti
Colonials: war with Vikings
Norak: war with Rage, none with Pyrochette
Vaxin: war with Dra'Kol
Vikings: war with Colonials
Sergetti: none with Piundon
Pyrochette (me): none with Rage, none with Norak
All races have a decent number of colonizeable planets around, except the Sergetti and the Vikings (on way leads to a nebula the other to the Colonials). The Rage have an excellent start with lots of empty planets around. As you can see a lot of early wars have broken out, so let's see what happens
.
The Toron have lost some research points in turn 10, because all projects were completed after they researched mines1 and PDC 2.
More later (I have to do a few PBM turns, first
),
