Well, nothing tells how close we are to each other though. And picking a racial trait is always a gamble of course. Bah, am I growing too soft and cautious? Perhaps.

I agree with your reasoning; the system value would have mostly be useful to determine what is "normal", but then we probably won't agree on how many systems we want, so. (You know how I am: bigger is better. When it comes to maps in 1vs1 games at any rate)

Then we are set:

- Balanced mod (a small medium spiral or a large small spiral map);
- 0 Racial points;
- 1 good homeworld;
- No: openers, closers, storm creators, ruins;
- 3rd-person map creation and empire placement.

We just need a person to do the Balance Mod honors and host the game.

I am just checking here: I guess it means Racial traits are fine? Hmm, watch out for the sortie of these Talisman-wielded CA-clad Dreadnoughts! (Of course, if someone actually picked both traits with no racial point available, well... my hat goes to them. And my hate too perhaps.)

And still checking: I gather intelligence is on as well? Not that I mind, being a spy and all, but I would rather not ditch my Cunning by mistake. Of course, I am such a miser I am likely not to spend too much on Cunning, but... *Shrugs*

If it's not Banned, it's allowed .

[Alneyan]

Very well. Putting both CA and Talisman with 0 racial point seems slightly difficult, however. A shame I will have to forego using these this time around.

My Empire file should be soon ready, once I have finished tweaking it here and there. We merely an host, and we are set. Good luck to you, and thanks in advance for the points you will give me! Overconfident? Who, moi?

[Nodachi]

Happy birthday Alneyan!
Do you guys still need a host?

[Nodachi]

Anybody got an alternate mirror for the PVK Balance Mod? I can't get the main site to load.

[Alneyan]

Unless Slynky got a PM from someone else, I think we still need an host for our game.

The mod is not PvK Balance Mod however, but Geo's Balanced Systems, available at PBW. If your query has no link with our game, PvK Balance Mod may be available at PBW as well, in the file library, under mods. Otherwise, I can send it to you if you drop me a mail (alneyan[AT]fastmail[DOT]co.uk).

[Nodachi]

Yeah, I was looking to help you guys out. Let me know and I'll set it up for you (I've got the right mod now.)

[Alneyan]

Well, I think you are probably the first to volunteer, so unless Slynky dreads the name "Nodachi", I guess you will be our host. Let me know if you need me to host a game in the future.
