I've been quite busy lately so I found this thread only now. I've intented to cut down my games but this sounds so interesting that I'm in.

I knew you (and some others) were busy and that is why I stated up front that I fully expect the game to take 72 hours between turns when we get into the game good. Thanks for throwing in

You have my sympathy Asmala, for I made the same tough decision of cranking down my number of games. The results were quite impressive, since I joined (or will join) three more games. *Grumbles*

As for this tech cost Slynky, I would indeed be more in favour of a Medium tech cost. It keeps a non-linear progression (unlike low tech cost), while still being very cheap. (Granted, my single mindedness on research makes all but a few techs very cheap) With such a game, a team might even research a technology such as Radioactives Extraction all the way to level IX! (Nay, that does still seem very unlikely)

I'd also like more medium or even high tech cost.

Have you considered the amount of micromanagement due to different atmospheres? It's quite a lot of work to transfer people about.

Sounds cool - I'll play.

Well, it looks like we are on our way...we have two admirals who have answered the call

.

Now, each admiral will begin drafting (in turn) their allies to join in the war. First choice goes to the lower ranking admiral, RexTorres.

Remember those who have been removed from consideration are not available. Also, for those awaiting a "tap on the shoulder" from Admiral RexTorres or Admiral Asmala, cast aside all your self evaluations of how good you are as I suspect each admiral will make his choices based on the Rating and what he knows (or has heard) about you.

When we have filled the two teams, we will finalize the game setup...who better to decide than those in the game
