I love all the big talk and bravado.
Reminds me of the Survivor 1 Tournament.

(Maybe I should have retired a champion, instead of being whipped like an old hasbeen)

Enough chest beating for me today. Its past 5 and the pub is calling.

But if your keen for a ultra violence match up we can play a 4-6 man in a small galazy with no trading. Drop us an email.

Cheers,
Askan

Ok. So if I take my warp closers and stealthily cut someone else off from the rest of the map, does that mean that I've eliminated them? That would suck! Enough warp closers, and you are unstoppable! Just make a treaty with someone, place your WP closers on the strategic warppoints, then close them all at once. Presto, instant elimination!

Maybe the map should look something like the one in Adamant 4. There is an average of about 6 warppoints per system. (I'd really like to know how he did that!) It would be nigh impossible to play the turtle defense on that map, except that it's a cluster map. So there are strategic WPs to close. If it was midlife, with the same # of WPs....

Dumbluck, go into QuadrantTypes.txt. Look for these lines:

Max Warp Points per Sys := 5
Min Angle Between WP := 60

Double the max WPs and halve the min angle.

Dumbluck, as I said I really don't think it is likely to come up, but if it does I am going to come down hard on the player doing the closing, not the one being closed off. That's not a valid method for eliminating someone in my book.
