New PBW game for newbies

Ares · #1 June 17th, 2003, 06:17 AM

This game is intended primarily for newbies. Experienced players may join, but I will limit the number of them to half (or less), and they may find themselves bumped in favor of newbies. Also, if you're an experienced player and do join the game, try to keep in mind the company you're in and be patient with us (and maybe save those ultra-hyper-super secrets for when you REALLY need them!)

Heh ya, What is your definition of Newbie?
I have only started PBW in the Last 2 months but I am currently playing 5 games. The most advanced is up to turn 90 odd.

I'm not the game owner but the description is the same, sooooo, I would assume so. (Mostly this is to let people know the name of the game (and not to poke fun.))

*smacks foreheaad* Can't believe I didn't even put the name in, but yeah, it's Space Empires 101. As far as how new is newbie, this is the first game for two of us, third for 1, and a fourth I don't know about yet. But, as I said, I'm also taking a few experienced players, though I'm fairly open on what a "newbie" player is. I have it set for 20 players. As a side-note, anyone know if that's the max? I've seen games set for more (32 specifically), but all of the menus and stuff only have pages for up to 20. Anyone know what's going on there?

I'm not exactly a newbie (I've made two PBW games, still not finished), but I've got my *** severly kicked in one of them, so I think I still have many things to learn in terms of strategy...
So I'm applying.

20 is the max. I don't know how the game could've been set to 32 because it just isn't possible.

Ares... You might want to try a smaller map.

That way our new players can learn to deal with the early to mid tech level games that occur all the time.

As the other game is based on a large map.
