Tournament - Invulnerable Challenge

Joachim · #1 July 7th, 2003, 02:32 PM

Oh my .... The score is rather frightening

Ok, I do my turn, then load game and log on as host, execute turn, put new turns into new folder in save game directory labelled Inv_2 etc then load game and repeat...

is this correct (it seems to be working)

is there an easier way?

Stone Mill, did you get my email? If you set this up as Simultaneous Hotseat it will be a lot easier on the players to play. They won't have to mess with the host process.

Yes Geo... thanks. Had we predicted that PBW could not be used, I would have definitely set it up that way.

I can still set it up as you mention, but of course, I would have to re-do the challenge. That would take me a bit longer... the quickest I could do it would be end of next weekend.

Let me know what you guys think:
--If you don't like having to log in as host to generate the turn, and if you can wait, I will set up the challenge as hot seat.
--If you are ok with playing it as-is, let me know.

I think it'll be much easier and faster as a Hotseat game IMHO.

I think it would be alot faster and easier too. But if it stays as is I will still play and get beat.

I think I am less than one year into this game. I've started setting things up in the home system as I would like, and I've started branching out and exploring. I am far TOO relaxed right now...the beatings are about to start.

My ships have seen the Shark behemoths wandering around the galaxy. Any ONE of those ships would be quite a handful for whatever ragtag defenses I could throw together.

Any other opinions? As of right now, I'm leaning toward making it hotseat.

Cheeze, please hold off... I don't want you to get too far into it just yet if we decide to do a re-start.

I really feel guilty anyway.

You are going to have to play this thing out a large number of turns to even have a chance of building a force substantial enough.... I'm wondering if I made it too tough (as is).

If I re-do it, I will have a chance to tweak it a little too.
