Players wanted for PBW PvK Proportions Game #1

Cool! We've got two replacement players already - Vikings and People's Empire of Night taken.

If the players agree, I think the time might be ripe to bring some excitement to this game and have a war. We've got six players with established empires now, and we could have another 3-4 if we get more players. Maybe after a few turns of players getting their bearings, we could choose sides for a two-sided team war.

Just an idea...

Strong military empire..hahaha.

Of course having the AI run you that long will do unpleasent things to any empire.

I thought they were strong... I may have been mistaken, since I'm not often seeing much of them. They are one of the more skilled fighting nations, with Enhanced/Enchanced skills, which puts them at least in the top three for skills. Are they going to work for you, or do you want to try someone else? I expect like the other AI races, they may at least have kept up in research and have fairly full resource coffers, meaning they can build a fleet pretty easily.

Oh, they'll work. ITs just going to take a lot of sorting out.

it doesn't help of course that either the AI or the previous player scrapped two cultural centers to be training facilities..fortunately they were the organics/rads favoring ones and not the mineral ones.

They also had the really brillant idea of retrofitting ALL the space yards in a sector at once. So I have lots of broken ships.

I thought that AIs neither scrap facilities nor retrofit ships.

Well, i guess if Rollo can do that I can too. I can't wait to see what sort of condition the Daitoon Consortium is in after 18 months of my absence and having two other players and many turns under AI control.

Cool - thanks Geo!

Fyron, the AI definitely retrofits ships, and I'm pretty sure it does bases too. In fact, it has a certain deranged passion for it. I wouldn't put it past it to retrofit all its construction bases at once. I don't think Askan (the previous human PEoN player) would do that, though - and if he had, they'd be fixed by now.
