Sadly that is true . I don't like to think about it but it happened.

Why, thanks, but my pen seems to have rusted a bit these days. At least I managed to write something only one or two days after the turn in question instead of one or two *months* later.

Incidentally, feel free to point out any typo or grammar mistake, as you are likely to come across these.

I will not be involved in the squabble regarding the status of your deities. Facts will bring the truth much better than speeches, and you will eventually come to realizing the mistake of your ways.

Hi all.

Bad news.


I've checked and must admit to having made a mistake when creating the map in NeGoC5. I was using the FQM mod but propably used the classic Mid-Life quadrant instead of the Standard Mid-life Quadrant. This means that the map generated with the standard game data files instead of the FQM data files. The game will not restart though as I won't edit another map.

What does this mean:
Fewer planets, currently 2223 planets in the map. Of which few are moons and more of those moons have none as atmosphere. Fewer asteroids, currently approximately 600+ The same amount of systems 255.

An comparision to a standard FQM map with 236 systems reveals that it has 2408 planets of wich many more are moons with varied atmosphere. Uncountably more asteroids! Most regular star systems have an asteroid ring in it.


So the sum is approximately the same amount of planets (propably 10% less) with the same variety of atmospheres, as there are fewer moons the none atmosphere of those doesn't seem to play any factor, but, alot less asteroids.

If anyone wishes to quit the game due to false marketing I'll be sad but I'll understand. I hope you decide to continue anyway, as I still belive the map will make it possible for minors to compete with ancients way before turn 120, ofcourse depending upon the way ancients and minors play their games.

Sorry all.
(You where right Roanon)

Centuries of peace and prosper.

Decades of cultural development and spiritual research.

Years of poetry, songs and theatre.

Months of.........disturbing transmissions !!!

First the audio only transmissions. Music, radioplay and some news fragments.
Later on the pictures. Species which held parties, dance festivals, whole stories and again news reports.

Those news reports we're quite disturbing already. War and death, hunger and starvation and technological development.

Xeeilaay looked again at the latest images. The grey hull of the allien ship slowly moved away. and than the view changed to the vessels interior, Dozens of people gathered in the vessels dock, celebrating their departure.
Men and Women drinking, children singing and laughing, but also a lot of grey uniformed man in the distance, armed with some sort of weaponry.

His mind thought of some other pictures, and the same moment the image changed and he looked in to a purple blue sky, some reddish clouds in the distance. A flash, fire and slowly but steady the growing of the fire cloud. It looked like the Vertix-Tree, those strange insect eating trees only found on the Reida-peninsula.
Again the image changed and he was back above the allien vessel, still accelarating. The angle of the view changed and in the far distance you could see the destination of this pre-quantum vessel.

Yes it's time to get prepared he tought, and in the distance you could see the ship dissapear into the warppoint.........
