If you use "repeat orders" when creating storms you can create up to 250 storms in one turn. Since storm creators are cheap it's easy to create hundreds of storms over each of your planet and sun. You can imagine the game will Last long then. This will be fixed in upcoming patch.

Thanks Asmala, I must have missed it somehow. In this case storms are Banned for sure.
As I understand, we still have only 5 Finnish players...
Game settings are as Liudas mentioned. No limitations on racial traits (only religious Banned) or atmosphere types. Intel/ruins/trade/whatever also allowed. 3000 racial points.

FQM maps are better than stock so we may use it. In the game LT vs USA we had a great 'surprise' map made by Unknown_Enemy who was also the GM for the game. The same would be great this time too. I will open a new thread for the subject.

Yes, there was few unpleasant suprises, mostly in USA side. But it makes the game more intresting.

My suggestion is following:

1. 3000 racial points
2. Ban talisman, but not religious (nature shrine is still tempting)
3. Ban Ancient race
4. Intel is on.

Also, patch 1.91 ispublished, so the storm creator question is academic (I suppose we use the newest patch). Now we need someone to set the rules on stone, create map and create the game so we can start. Also confirmation of players would be nice.
