New PBEM/PBW Game: Adamant 011

[Alneyan]

I will probably take a Magic race with the Religious traits. Yes, I am quite curious to see how these traits play with Adamant. Do not worry though, there are no Talismans in Adamant so you won't need to crush my Empire in the early game. *Smirks*

(By Talisman I meant the Talisman we all know in the vanilla game. There are Talismans (or are they Shrines?) in Adamant, but they merely give system-wide bonuses.)

ACtually... there is still the Religious Talisman, which gives a 30% to hit bonus. And then there is the Fate Talisman, which gives up to a 20% ECM bonus. Now, whether those are enough to justify 50 kT size (Fate one probably is) will have to be determined by testing.

Hmm, I think I'll be a Physical race with Mechanoids, and maybe Christullrgy... uh, I need to learn how to spell and stop thinking about the religious trait

edit: and I think I'll be something original this time, instead of stealing from MOO2 or Super Mario Bros. or something... yes, I did once play as the "Koopa Klan"

edit: probably Hardy Industrialists too, or else Natural Engineers...

edit: or maybe Stoic... geez, there are so many, I'll probably spend 5000 points worth and have to take penalties in everything

Fyron I am going to combine Adamant with AIC. This way the Adamant AI players will have there own trait like AIC so the AI will be able to handle:
Plagues
Economics
Planetary Bombardment
Finite Economics
Planet Capture
Planet defense
Tactical Fighters
Minefields
Multi-player handicapping
Improved event frequency
AIC Diplomacy

If your assistence is required will you lend a hand?

I know the feeling, I am currently using... say, 4000 points, without even including incrases on the characteristic screen. But what religious paths to take, I wonder.

And yes Fyron, I forgot about these other Talismans. *Frowns*

Indeed. I like you having to make choices about which racial traits you are going to take, and not just pick the few best ones every time.

You actually don't need AIC or special traits to get the AI to handle most of those things. I have not refused to help anyone yet, so will most likely lend you a hand. But keep this to the other thread for it, k?
