Hi USA Players,

The genesis of this thread was the request of a team of Lithuanian players looking for a team game against another country. All other tangents (worthy as they be) aside, that is still the only objective.

Unless someone else wants the job, I will act as the single point of contact (not leader!) for the USA team. Thanks in advance for your patience and good sportsmanship.

Gryphin has agreed to be the GM for this game (Thank you Gryphin!)

Per the Lithuanians’ request, the game settings stand as follows:

Max Players: 12 (6 versus 6)
Turn duration: 36 hours
Turn automation: After Last player upload only (at least for the summer)
SE4 Version: Stock v1.84 (Gold Patch 3)

Starting resources: 20000
Starting planets: 3
Home planet value: Good
Score display: Allied
Technology level: Low
Racial points: 3000
Quadrant type: Mid-Life
Quadrant size: Large
Event frequency: None
Event severity: N/A
Technology cost: Medium
Victory conditions: Last Alliance Standing
Maximum units: 5000
Maximum ships: 5000
Computer players: None
Computer difficulty: N/A
Computer player bonus: N/A
Neutral empires: None

All other settings are game defaults.

Pablo has stated “Here we wanted to try a team only game where the team chooses one person for diplomacy, one for research management, one for defences etc.”
We do not have to follow this play convention/philosophy – it is simply how the Lithuanians plan to approach the game from their end.

If everyone is still interested, I will contact Pablo and Gryphin to get the game set up. Please post your acknowledgements in this thread, as it is our only common ground at this time.

Gandalph, I have asked the Lithuanian team if they want to expand the game to 7 players per team.

Thanks!

Thanks, but no worries if they don't. I will be on standby mode.

I think if we talk over what races and specialties we want to do in advance, and keep in constant touch during the game, that should be enough. That system has worked out well enough for the team Rags and I are in in PBW.

Looks good. Let's get this thing going, and go Team USA!

Sure i will follow the general consesus
What ever you guys need since its a team game...and should we all talk about what races were going to use or is it what we think would work best?
