It will.

After I thiught about it, I may not be as screwed as I thought. At the beginning, everyone will expand at approximately the same rate (due to having one planet), unless starting position sucks royally. At the end, when the rocks are full, there should still be planets for me to pick up. It's the midgame I'm worried about....

Hi,
I downloaded the mod and applied to join the game. Is there anything else I need to do?

Uhm, I joined the game Last week and am waiting for it to start.
Now it seems I have to download a mod first??

you dont need to download the mod to play. the projected start date is still on for tomorrow, unless we are full now, which i have to go check on.

Okay, I know the mod is only for practice and I have also uploaded my empire by now.
But one question still remains: What about the Empires that use non-standard shipsets? There is three of them (Dragon Hegemony, Yanerian and Galctic Empire). Do I have to download them and put them in my Pictures/Races folder?

Sorry to ask such basic questions, but PBW is new to me.

Thanks,
Rollo

If the Users have set it up correctly, that is all you have to do. If not we can figure it out when it comes up.

It would still work even if you don't use there shipsets. It would just give you a different picture for them each turn. It's kind of wierd, but does not aafect the game play.

20 players, 20 empires uploaded!

I can't wait, though I STILL think I screwed myself over in empire creation. Ah... we'll see!

and all but one of them was made with the right number of points too! thats pretty darn good! if we dont get a new emp in for the person in question by friday afternoon, we will go ahead and launch with 19. never fear, if you did not get an email from me, its not you.

I am going to setup a thread in the game forum for people to link to whatever shipsets they are using, since it seems like half or more of our people are using custom shipsets yet have not provided a link to one. what this means is that they will look different to each person on every turn, making ship recognition and diplomacy a real pain. I would HATE to think that people did this on purpose. and to the people who are just using the standard races from the game and have no idea what im talking about, dont wory, this does not apply to your empires.

but yes, this should be very interesting. I too think that i could have benefited from some different choices at race creation, the more I think about it, the more I think that Ice would have been the way to go.
