Glad you liked it Dogscoff (liked it myself), and don't worry, I will set it up again (soon I hope).
But now I know what went wrong, I will make some changes. Just give me some time........

I am interested in starting PBW, but my main concern is my limited time. I really would have a difficult time commiting to more than 1 or 2 turns a day, except on days off (Rare).

What is the average turn cycle of most PBW games?

PBW turns are usually days per turn, not turns per day.

In my experience a game will usually have 1 turn a day for maybe the first 30-40 turns. After that, when empires start getting complicated, it goes to a turn every 48 hrs. Eventually the game reaches the stage where the players agree to longer, maybe every 72 hrs. Games that have gone for really long like maybe 1-2 years get longer, like once a week, as people need longer while certain players lose interest and stop playing.

I have seen games offering multiple turns a day but I don't bother with them, mostly because they are US centric and I would be asleep during their day.

I was enjoying the game, and can't wait for you to start another.

Although I never ran into any of the I.R.s, and only met 3 races, one through actual contact and the other 2 through a comm channel gift.

I had explored the whole cluster I started in, met my first contact in the cluster to the south, and had started exploring the cluster to the left of mine.

Maybe in the next game you could have a second player also be involved with the IRs.

Yes, good idea...... some extra I.R.
But main isue is for now, must I set up an new one in SEIV or SEV (no map editor yet for SEV)


And do we still have to use proportions (that was an major problem for the I.R., Golden eclipse mod is an good proportion substitute for SEV)

So please keep me all informed about your intentions !!

Inti,
