I know that from similar games, it is too much emphasis on diplomacy and/or prearranged alliances due to personal knowledge (happens), and the actual strategy game aspect has little effect. I prefer planing, managing and solving problems like too many borders for too few fleets

You may have misread. There will be NO tech trades and ship trades are allowed with Military Alliance or higher. We are also considering disallowing gifts of any kind.

Re: New PBW RPG Game: Strange Races 2
gand. everyone will have military alliances...
You should ban all tech trading and gifts.
We are strange races after all...
So our tech should be incompatable...

Since it's not disallowed in SR1, why would he not do it? What's the point of purposly putting yourself at a disadvantage? But that doesn't mean he particularly enjoys doing it. That would be why he would like to see it disallowed in SR2.

Re: New PBW RPG Game: Strange Races 2
I had stated below that we may take the No Trade to a vote, but the point seen in SR1 with everyone at MA, seems convincing. We will make this game a No Trade, No Gift, game. As far as technology goes, you either research yourself, or steal it from thine enemy.

Re: New PBW RPG Game: Strange Races 2
I do not have military alliance with anyone. I was under the assumption that the game was a roleplay in most regards, but it seems it's turned into the same let's trade colony techs and populations as most pbw games do. Oh well, it's till a decent game though and I'm happy with my races development.
I would join strange races II but I'm already in six games and that is enough for me.  |
