Default Re: Any interest in an Eclipse Mod game at PBW?

Okay, it is done. Go to my website in my sig to download it. I'll upload it to SE.net soon.

I dont want to host the PBW game so I just have a few suggestions about the game setup.

1 Huge Homeworld
High Starting Resource
High Racial Points
Low Tech Costs
Low Tech Start
Small Galaxy
Medium Event Severity and Rate

These settings should give Eclipse a good PBW trial run.

Oh and lets make an agreement not to take traits that our species does not have. A thing to remember is that even if you dont take any of the racial trait techs, there is still plenty of variety in the standard tech tree.

Yay!
I'll volunteer to host the game, and I'll ask Geo or somebody to set it up at PBW ASAP!

Errrg. I just noticed a problem in the Tylmai AI general file. I went ahead and fixed up the install file. Ignore the quick fix if you downloaded it.

Another note about game setup, your Empire Score should NOT be factored into the victory conditions. A race thats starts out on a Gas Giant will have a very high score by default. The balance to that is that Gas colony components are twice as expensive as Rock or Ice. I may add other penalties to it so I'm open to suggestions. Perhaps a negative speed bonus?

I'll poing Georgig to this thread next time I see him. He loves setting up mods on PBW.

There is the data-only version, guys... 3 MB small enough?
Though I wish someone would mirror the full file, as whenever I try to download it it comes though at near-dialup rates and inevitably I walk away and the download stops halfway through... stupid Firefox download manager doesn't have a resume feature like it's supposed to

One must never post when stressed.
I apologise for my harsh words.

SEnet has Eclipse 1.0 mirrored currently. You could download it from there, then download the 1.01 Data Only file, which I think is sufficient as a patch.

Kevin, could you please place version numbers in the mod file names in the future? It makes it easier to keep track of things. Thanks.
