How about restarting the game with exactly the same settings and map except for my Race's atmosphere type?

Edit - Rank increase. Now where is that increase in my Pay packet?

I can restart. To be fair, please send me an email to tell me where you were on the map.

You should start in the same position as you did before. If not, please decide to play it out or (have me) re-do the map. Good luck!

As I am having more free time, I would like to get involved in yet another game, this time with a twist. It would be a modded game, either Pirates and Nomads or Proportions, so it would be slower than your average game. (Much slower in the case of Proportions) Both mods alter the game in various fields, and they are very enjoyable experiences, and... Oh, I digress, this wasn't an advertising thread.

I am definitively not an expert with any of these mods (as if I was a seasoned player with the vanilla game), so you do not need to be knowledgeable about them and there is no string attached to the offer. If you happen to be interested, feel free to decide on the other settings, as I have chosen the mod. So is there any brave soul willing to crush me in a more peculiar game?

I'd take that challenge but you've got around 63 points on me..

Don't worry, I will fall quite a bit once Primitive beats me. (I don't exactly stand much of a chance now) But I will go up as soon as the 2vs2 game is taken into account though, thanks to Slynky assistance in this game.

Oh, I was talking about the other 2vs2 game, the one with Gecko and Belisarius, and not our current one Parabolize. I would never brag around until the Other Side has surrendered, and I will definitively not boast if I lose.

2 x 2 (Alneyan/Slynky -vs- Electrum/Parabolize) - 2404.0

Well, things are sorting out and the game looks even so far (1st place and 4th place -vs- 2nd place and 3rd place...averages out to 5 and 5).

I always like these games though I know they can be a REAL nail-biter! Full-tech and all. What's good about this sort of game, besides being able to use things you never get to use in KOTH (for example) is the wide variety of choices. I have quite a variety of ship designs already!

Win or lose, it's gonna be fun. Just don't forget, Parabolize, I have the unimaginable Alneyan with me...no telling what he might do...not as predictable with me and my satellites...

. This is his first full-tech game and he's having a ball with all the toys to play with

Oh, if I were Parabolize or Electrum, I would rather keep a close watch on Slynky, and merely await for my League to destroy her warships on her own, as I am the best player when it comes to losing battles which should be gained. If you are nice enough, I might even considering scouting what lies *inside* a Black Hole with half my war fleet.

I don't have that many toys to play with Slynky, and for once I don't even use my Infamous Light Carriers, and I do feel naked without my reseach powerhouse behind me. Besides this, not much is going on for the moment being, but I like it this way. Perhaps we should consider a mutual alliance for prosperity and... Erh, not so I guess.

I think we are winning in expansion but I fear some huge fleet is coming to change that.

Mulch may not be much of a toy but it does take up a lot of space

Hmmm, maybe I should count system availability...looking at the map, I thought we controlled more than half of it. (perhaps I need to replace my Exploration Minister

)

"Mulch" is ONE UGLY SHIP! I'd be ashamed to captain something like that
