yea, the sad thing is that I remember you asking us to check it, but I guess it took me a while to get around to it

The only reason I caught it, I was wondering what I could do to get more minerals then noticed that my HW only had 2000 mil pop on it and thought that was wierd for a gas planet

then I see that it is an ICE *sobs*

I will kill you all, fear me!!!

Actually it shouldn't make any difference.
I belive everyone started with 2 billion people.
So if it got your atmosphere right (And if you've got 2 billion in pop you do) it shouldn't make any difference.
It's a medium sized ice instead of a medium sized gas, and they should both be able to support the same amount of people.

It can be a hassle to explain storywise though....

Are you using the latest Version of FQM? Are you using a custom map, or a totally random one?

A random map with manually pre-set starting locations.
First some got wrong atmosphere and wrong size so all HW's were altered in the map editor to medium sized before the game was restarted.
Now I haven't heard anyone complain about the size or atmosphere, and I for one got the right type too.
It's standard FQM I don't remember the Version but i think it's the latest, I downloaded it from your sig about a month ago I think, I can check when I get home.

1 starting planet good conditions if I remember correctly.
I think it was dense paradise, but I'm not sure anymore.
I still have the map at home, I can't look at it as I'm playing in the game but I could send it to .you later

Started on a medium ice world too, although my race is rock-based. 2000M starting pop, no prob. I think the different planet type is no problem too, unless I somehow loose my homeworld then it's a disadvantage as I cannot colonize it back again. But in that case I think I will have other problems to worry on I guess

HA! I can explain away the reason for finding myself on an Ice planet. I will have to work on that so I can add my story to the thread.

Ok, cant wait till the next turn.
