Invasion! 2nd Wave had started. Get building guys!

[Combat Wombat]

Invasion! 2nd Wave needs a new player, we haven't even finished the second turn so you will be able to build the empire however you want it.

[Ragnarok-X]

Edit: Updated List

[Combat Wombat]

I need some honest feedback about what everyone thinks of Invasion!

If you play it, what about it do you like and dislike?

If you don't play it, what made you stop or never even start?

[Ragnarok-X]

Instead of posting here, you should think about why both invasion pbw games are on hold since about 2 month. You can mail the player who participate. Dont expect much feedback here..

[Combat Wombat]

The reason those games are on hold is because of the problems with the Version of the mod they are using, many of those problems cannot be fixed without making the savegames uncompatible. So the games are on hold because you among other players have made compalints about these problems in the mod and since continued play under these conditions is unacceptable the games will restart once this Version is complete.

[Ragnarok-X]

Well, unfortunally MY complains about shipspeed were posted about 8 weeks BEFORE the game was "stopped". In the meantime i was able to aquire solarsails III and my ships were finally moving at all, with colonyships having speed 6. Thats why i feel quite pissed, especially because the empire had a small edge.

Anyways, i hadnt any complains except the propulsion system.

Well the propulsion system has been fixed in 0.41 and the release date will be January 18th and a new PBW game will begin shortly after that.
