Default Re: New game starting on PBW, \"THE GREAT EXPIRIMENT\"

this is thoroughly inspiring. The only regret I have is that the GM will not be able to fairly participate in many scenarios created in this fashion, as they will have fore-knowledge of the geography or of other players placements.

I do think that the one or two super-ships or super-planets at the start is a cool concept. super-planets could even be designed by editing the default construction file and the facilities.txt once the game was generated, the facilities would revert to standard and it would have high production, or whatever. you could even make tiny planets with 50 facilities or something.

super ships would actually require playing a turn as each race though, and while it sure would be neat, it means the GM has to sit out unless there is a room for a 'supervisor' race. I like the idea of the players having to overcome the GM at the end... I think i am going to have to start one of these up, since i obviously have too much time to spend posting on this forum, i should probably be playing games instead.

all those silly people that think I should spend my time designing networks obviously have not played SEIV yet. who needs income.
