Re: PBW Game idea
Do I have to have a mod installed to play it?
<ducks>
If not, then count me in.

Re: PBW Game idea
I've joined. I love these non standard games.
Only question so far is how many racial points are we using? Any number is fine with me.

Re: PBW Game idea
No mod.
I thought about going with 0 racial points, but I'm guessing that 2000 would be more palatable to the general public. So let's go with that. I'll update the page in a bit.

Re: PBW Game idea
How bout we go through the Newb-Posts and find every neato trick that people have posted there as "one of their fave tactics" and program it out of the game?

Re: PBW Game idea
Naw, I don't think we need to ban any techs. I'm only turning off intel because the potential for a succesful PPP would be so devastating in this game. I think it would be very difficult to have enough intel facilities to do any serious damage, but if you could pull it off you'd be able to kill someone without firing a shot.
Talisman is powerful, but it's not invincible. Same thing for crystal armor. We've all talked about it enough that we've all got our strategies for dealing with them. As always it will come down to who executes better.

Re: PBW Game idea
Well, maybe not abandoned, but certainly played much less.

Re: Dimension X: Home World Wars
Last call for anyone interested in getting in on this game. We've got 11 players now. If more want to join that's fine, but that will be enough to make a decent go of it. I'm planning on starting the game as soon as we get the Last of the empire files uploaded, unless someone else jumps in before that.
To review the settings:
48 hour auto turns
10 Good homeworlds
No intel
2000 racial points
No use of colony tech, except to recolonize a homeworld that get's glassed.
I've decided not to use a mod for the game, except I will be making a server only mod to control the AI and keep it from making colony ships in case anyone misses their turns.
I also had talked about using the balance mod to make the map, but never made a decision on that. I need to make sure noone was planning on being a "none" atmosphere race if I'm going to do that.
