Are you tough enough to be the "King of the Hill"? - Page 234

Was this a random map using the balance mod, or did someone create the map and specify starting positions?

What atmosphere/planet types did you both have?

I'll try to figure out what happened. My gut says it's a game thing and there isn't anything I will be able to do short of narrowing down the problem and sending a report to Malfador.

I think it is "inner game", too, Geo. If so, then making the knowledge available would be fine, in my opinion. I'm sure 1-planet starts would work fine and if people know a 3-planet start may come with problems, then they take that chance.

To my knowledge, no one adjusted starting points...you'd have to check with Asmala. But since we started with only one vacant system between us, I'm pretty sure it was random placement and not adjusted.

I took Gas and he took Rock (not sure how that matters much). I took Methane and he took Hydrogen. And, as I said, it was, as far as I know, Balance 1.1 (but Asmala would have to confirm). I can send you the game file with my password if you like.

"His home system was all in one system."
slynky open the game again and look around. I have one home world in Cewandi and 2 in Xillantha.
The other planet in Xillantha was not a home planet it was the "missing breathable".

I liked the map. Good game.

edit: spelling

DRAT! Yep, my mistake!

You were in 2 systems. I guess I got fooled because you had been doing pop transfer and I only looked at the pop bars on the display. Didn't even notice one of the planets was medium.

(hope Geo didn't get crosseyed trying to figure out stuff)

KotH page is updated.

Yes it was Balance mod 1.1 and random starting positions.

"Game" links in Koth site works well for me. Still problems?

BBegemott vs Asmala
Turn 2404.8

Asmala has more everything: research, ships, intel, resources. My worlds are rioting. And the talisman can't help against economical troubles.

This is the end. Vengeful Dreamers surrender to Black Hole Riders. Congrats to Asmala for the well played game. May your kingdom prosper!

As RL time shortage is upcoming, please take me off the Hill for a while. Thx.

Nope...I get a black background with the usual blue printing that says:

"You may

your user
name or

incorrectly.
You may not

in yet."

Down the left side. Weird, like I can get to the KOTH site but not any of the games listed on PBW.

Well, congrats to my young friend from Finland. From the first time I played a game with him, over a year ago, I knew he had talent.

Now, you just need to talk the "Avatar Master" into putting a crown on that avatar of yours

Sounds like you just aren't logged into the site. Are you logging out when you leave PBW? That will do it. Or if you don't have the "remember login" box checked. When you navigate to PBW normally do you have to login every time? It's perfectly all right to logout of PBW whenever you leave and not have the "remember login" box checked. Preferable in fact if you share your computer withsome else. But if you do these things then you aren't going to be able to follow game links like what Asmala has on teh koth page.

I'll try to clear my name and PW and reset it and tell it to remember. Otherwise, it's confusing because I have a shortcut on my links bar to PBW (well, DUH!, it's where I spend my time!) that works without any request for a PW. And when I am done, I just "X" out of the site.
