Tournament - Invulnerable Challenge

rdouglass · #1 May 21st, 2003, 07:19 PM

I'd be interested as long as I'm not competing against anyone that helped setup the AI's defense. That would definitely give those players an advantage. IMO anyone entering the tournament should have no knowledge whatsoever about the AI opponent except that they have a 100 turn head start...

Just curious, is this going to be using custom AI files or a well known AI? I think custom could be a lot harder.

Also, make sure you can't trade star maps with the AI for its home planet

well, with one warppoint the obvious thing to do is dump mines, sats, bases, ships and the kitchen sink on the warppoint.

we need some way to keep the players from reading the suggestions.

narf poit chez BOOM,

you can simply use the "send private message" icon on the taskbar next to my name on one of my Posts. Neat feature in the forums.
I encourage anyone who can think of something nasty to do so...

I am not a vet, but am interested anyway.

You said that everyone will have the same empire? who will design it?

And I guess we will all be playing the same empire ????

For equal footing

I will create a 5000 point race, with as many special techs as I can allow. I will diminish stats such as trade to beef up the more important ones.

That's right, everyone will use the same race empire to make it an even start. (I actually need to do this to fast forward 100 turns). Nevertheless, I will do my best to leave as many options open as possible for ship designs. You will have access to pretty much all tech areas to do with as you please.
