Default Re: Anybody up for a game of stock SE4 at PBW?

I once played a PBW game in "team mode", with the victory condition being to eliminate all the AIs. IIRC, it was 8 human and 8 AIs (no neutrals). Expecting to be constantly at war, a couple of us took Bloodthirsty as our happiness type. That turned out to be a mistake, because the random placement of homeworlds put all but one human on one half of the map and all but two of the AIs in the opposite half. (i.e. the setup came out [1 human + 6 AIs | 7 humans + 2 AIs]) I had treaties with 4 humans before I even met an AI, and often had to delay new treaties until I'd quelled the unrest from the last one.

If you ever play team mode multiplayer, I recommend at least 2-3 AIs per human. Preset starting systems is a good idea, too.
