Re: Uplift Series (by David Brin)

One thing I like about them is the fact that entire systems of life exist in parallel, overlapping in a single system. The oxygen/carbon based life cannot use the same planets as the hydrogen, gas-giant races.
Anyone interested in a no-troops, colonize only home planet type (and possibly colonize only breathable) game? The idea would be to stimulate a complex series of alliances between races that share systems, but have in general no reason to war upon each other.
Has anyone played in a game like this ? Did it work out, or did people just take to glassing each others planets?

What I would be interested in is some races for se IV from the uplift novels. eg Jophur, Tandu, Hoon, Tymbrimi, G'kek, maybe even Dolphin or Chimps? |
