I'm sure you thought of this but you might want to be careful with that victory condition. With that set as it is the game could end as early as turn 4.0 (40 turns) of the game start unless there is some early fighting. If all empires are spaced just right it could be 10 turns or so before you meet in the game, and then alot of people start off peaceful so as to build up their empire and economy. So an early end to this game could come about rather easily.

Just something I thought of.

But as I said, I'm sure you're well aware of this already.

actually I have thought of that... the thing is that u didn't read the game stats carefully... we hav a small galaxy, 6 players and a medium number of hard computers... it's next to i possible that these computers won't declare war on someone or between each other in the first 40 ticks... believe me. but thatks for the input

Yup, you're right. Small galaxy slipped by me. For some reason I was thinking it was a Medium galaxy.

I would recommend dropping the AI players in a PBW game - 6 players in a small galaxy is quite fine. The AI players can be taken advantage of too easily in terms of trade etc., and that might create an imbalance in the game that will become a sore spot for other players.

and you have to have comm-channels with a NA treaty or better, to count as peace. empires out of communication with each other stop victory from occuring, wich can be a pain if a defeated empire has some mine or sat cloaked somewhere that prevents them from being destroyed, but keeps them out of contact.

and welcome to the community! always good to have new players!

if you need to, two players can declare war and then peace.

Only ONE player is needed to declare a war
