It’s Gold. I’d be happy to hear your ideas on how to set up the defense.

The object for this game is to allow players all available tech to come up with their best invasion force as quickly as possible. Research is beyond the scope of this game. The AI will have max tech as well so I can set up what I believe to be an ‘impossible’ defensive network.

I am guessing your going to place the game in stone at turn 100 and away we go...
Cool. I think I can get what I want by turn 100. It’s going to be a b*tch to defeat.

That is an excellent proposal. I think I’ll ask David to develop an Icon for the winner’s signature.

I'd be interested as long as I'm not competing against anyone that helped setup the AI's defense. That would definitely give those players an advantage. IMO anyone entering the tournament should have no knowledge whatsoever about the AI opponent except that they have a 100 turn head start...

Just curious, is this going to be using custom AI files or a well known AI? I think custom could be a lot harder.

Also, make sure you can't trade star maps with the AI for its home planet

well, with one warppoint the obvious thing to do is dump mines, sats, bases, ships and the kitchen sink on the warppoint. we need some way to keep the players from reading the suggestions.

narf poit chez BOOM,

you can simply use the "send private message" icon on the taskbar next to my name on one of my Posts. Neat feature in the forums.
I encourage anyone who can think of something nasty to do so...

I am not a vet, but am interested anyway.

You said that everyone will have the same empire? who will design it?

For equal footing
