Hehe...sounds interesting. I'm not always a big fan of mods but what the heck, i'm in. As long as it's Fyron's Quadrant mod and not something wierd I'll give it a shot.

Course now I gotta come up with a new race and history for it...this could take me a few days to iron out

If we are going to be heavy diplomacy and politics then I'd have to say that Intel should be IN...I cant think of many things more political then some friendly old spying LOL.

Glad you're joining the game Arakiel!
We'll just use FQM for making a larger map, the rest will be stock.

Also good to see douglas join!

And maybe even tesco will join us !

Hiya!

I'm interested. I've not ever played a PBW game, and truth to tell I've not even finished an AI game. I think I've got the basics down so I might not be a total writeoff. I do travel a lot for work so I'll probably be missing a turn or two but I think I can handle that. I've got no real suggestions for rules or anything. I can deal with whatever.

Hmmmm sounds fun. Eh, why not just go and make it Devnull? Add Space Monsters as an AI and all the nifty new comps in Devnull make things pretty interesting... Devnull also includes an older Version of FQM.

A little bump.

And thanks to everyone for their suggestions.
I DL Devnull and am playing around with it, looks really cool.
Maybe for a third game?
Since this one is more aiming for newbies I think it's best to go with the stock game + FQM.

Let's hope some more players will sign up for this one

Yes it's a strategic choice, but it's a very poor one. Intel in SEIV is weighted very heavily towards defense, and even projects that do get through don't have much of an effect for their cost IMO. You don't want to be caught without intel defense, but beyond that intel is largely useless. I'd rather just not have to bother with it.
