Sorry...

tesco: realy, why not? not too much difference from the Gold i think.

Settings seem fine for me. especialy i love that "smart" victory way.
3k racial points is fine too, my favorite setting.
Im not too familiar what "medium" tech does give me, i should check it out. anyway, the settings look just great. for me.

"tesco: realy, why not? not too much difference from the Gold i think."

-player order problem fixed (again) is the biggie.
-higher ship/unit limits possible
-stuff like that

Sparhawk and Geoschmo-

I agree, good job on the settings. And thanks for the coordination efforts, geoschmo!

The game concept sounds really fun. That is what is going to make this a good game.

Sure, Gold adds some nice features, but there isn't anything prohibitive about playing with V1.49. Plenty of us are happy with it, and upgrading to any Version always adds new things you would like fixed, and new features you would like to add.
In any matter, SEIV still rocks as a game and I can't believe I'm still playing it regularly...

Yea... Sorry... But I cannot stand 1.49.

There is the problem with the combat and who goes first.
No multi select on the build screen.
Intel bugs
5000 ships and 5000 unit caps are the big ones...

I am just cleaning up my current 1.49 pbem games... and i don't want to go back.

If you get to 8 people and your stuck... I will join..

Forgive. Please.

If most of your are happy with the settings, than its a go!

I'm still waiting for Geoschmo to confirm the starting date

Yes, I agree tesco samoa with in some degree.
In gold you have new and more things to research, beter interface etc., but still its all about gameplay

. And in the end the goal/settings/players of a game will determine if a game is good or not (how many games died a early dead because players quit or the game was no fun anymore after some turns, because of several reasons.???)

I hope with these settings and victory conditions I created a game that can be fun and unpredictible untill the end.

Uh, you must not have got my email then. The game is on PBW. You did want to do this on PBW right? If not it complicates things a little, but it can still be done.

Anyway, if you want to do it on PBW, then just go there and join the game. It's been up there most of the day. Look for "Homecoming. (Team Game)" in the open games list. As soon as you can get ten players I can start setting it up, might take a day or two from that point.

Btw, I suggest no ancient races, and said as much in the game info screen. That will make it harder to find the Homeworlds once you meet up with your ally. If you want to allow ancient races though let me know and I'll take that off the description.

No I didn't receive your email.
And yes, No ancient races, thanks for the tip Geoschmo

.

I saw the game in PBW (yes, this is what I wanted to do), and it looked good.
So now we can join the game and hopefully start the game in a few days.....

p.s. geoschmo did you received my email about the way the homeplanets where situated, otherwise check your profile.
thanks
