Finite resources or not?

[sparhawk]

There was a game hosted by 1fstcat called Limited Resources. The idea was that on a map with 8 players and only a few planets, resources would become very valuable in the end.
But in the end everyone had enough of them and only 5 % of my mines were depleded.
So it ended as a normal hack and slash SEIV game.
Although yuo had to make some efforts in designing a race, much more focussed on maintance, mineral/organic and radioactive mining.
We are now starting with limited 2 and I'm really curious if we can deplete our mines faster and get a real fight over resources.
