I'm thinking Balance Mod. A 1 vs. 1 game in a small quadrant with minimal AI empires might be best for a first game, to get a feel for things.

But I'd be open to just about anything...I just want to get my feet wet.

Do you have an account with Play by Web? They just announced SE5 functionality, and it makes the process so much easier.

www.pbw.cc

Sign up and look for the game Gusset vs Phoenix-D, then click Join game.

OK, I signed up and joined the game. I don't know how many race points to use in my empire file, though.

hah. Oops. Use 2000.

Also, it looks like PBW doesn't support mods yet, so I'll be running the turns manually. From your end nothing changes, you just won't get the next turn right away like you would normally. Make sure you have version .99 of the Balance Mod, as well.

Balance .99 sounds fine. As of yet I can see no way to upload my empire file. I assume another button or other option will become visible when I'm able to.

Should be able to now. Its been a while since I started a PBW game, forgot I had to hit accept before you could do so.

OK, I uploaded. 2000 race points, zero starting tech point. I'll likely do most of my turns in the evenings or early mornings (US west coast).

Do players in SE games agree to certain "rules" that I should know about? For instance, when playing MOO2 online we usually outlaw invading the AI, and "ban" the use of certain technologies, for purposes of balance. I'm not suggesting anything, just providing examples to illustrate my question.

Also, are multiplayer SE games played in a "seek out and militarily destroy your opponent(s)" mindset, or do players try for different sorts of victory conditions?

Sorry for the newbie questions. I'm looking forward to this. I hope I don't bore you with too easy of a victory.
