New 1vs1 game (with 2 AI?)

[bluetemplar]

I'm searching a player with at least some experience in SP for :
A 1vs1 on a 16x32 map (flat world, maybe 2 starting isles)

Or

A 4 melee with 2 AI on a tiny/small random map.


Since there will be only 2 players, I think we doesn't need a CMN.

All details on agreement.

Wait a little more, this is not the most active PBEM season as there's sun, beach, parties and girls out there..

Count me in!

I've made a tiny map. Your comments are welcome.

(Colony Pods represent starting positions)

Mount Planet and Monsoon Jungle are supposed to be for the AI. I will also give them some techs (+4 I think) and more starting units (+3 colony pods, formers and scouts).

What faction would you like to play? And if you want you can also choose one AI faction.

P.S: I might also make a flat map if it doesn't cut the isle in two.

This looks okay. I noticed that the starting location by the Manifold Nexus looks much more favorable than the other one, which looks like it forces that player to move around a little more before starting his base. I'm not very picky about maps, as long as it's reasonably fair. I'd like to play as the Data Angels.

Ok, I will change the map a little more, maybe add one river...
Sadly, I can do it only after this sunday.

[bluetemplar]

I've added a river and some Unity Pods for the northern player. I hope this map suits better.

We have to agree on rules:

RULES:

Bugs/Features:

http://www.civgaming.net/smac/acad_buglist.shtml

14-(Pact Support Bug): I thought this was fixed with the latest patch?

There is also 3 other feature/tricks that are not described in this page:

(Transport in Sea Base Trick):
When you put a transport (sea or land(air?) in a sea base near a coast (and on the coast near a sea base?) you can transfer units from coast to base and inversely. The transport itself can also move from base to coast and inversely.

(Unit Sea/Cost transfer with help of another Unit):
When you put a unit on a coast near a sea base another unit can move from the base to the square where the 1st unit is (and inversely?).

(Transport Floating Bridge):
If you board a sea Transport with a land transport and move with the sea T out of the square, the land T will stay "floating" on the sea square! Repeating this you can make a bridge with land T!


Game Rules:
Default rules + :

no Do or Die
Random events
Non-Blind Research
Look First



-No turn restarting
-No commlink before contact
-Only one SE change/turn



I think we should authorise these bugs/features:


-18 (Reverse Engineering)

-21 (Unload in Flight)

-26 (no Vendetta after Stealing) : as Dreifeils wrote:

A probe team operation is a secret service operation and it's just the character of a secret service operation that the victim doesn't see / know it and has no possibility to act at once.

35-(Sea Artillery Combat)

44/45 (Stockpile Energy Bug)

63-(Upgrades in Workshop): OK, but without attacking the same turn!

76-(fire Artillery from Transport)

(Transport in Sea Base Trick):

(Unit Sea/Cost transfer with help of another Unit):

(Transport Floating Bridge)

And upgrade crawlers for SP's...


And forbid these:

1-(Extra growth w/ColonyPod)

2-(Multiple AirDrop)

4-(AI unfair Base Trade)

7-(Restart bonus)

16-(Editor Cheating)

19-(Probe to Rover Reverse Engineering)

22-(Terraformer Move-Again Trick)

25-(AI Withdrawal)

27-(Erase Vendetta Trick)

38-(Industry Switching with Crawlers Disbanding)

42/43-(Planetary Council Bribes) : We should make all elections/votes/bribes by e-mail first.

50-(Facilities in Queue trick)

65-(Air Defense with Vendetta only): It should be also for Nothing/Truce/Treaty without the approval of the other side!

71-(Terraforming Credit Up)

72-(Spying on Commlink Communications)

74-(Instant Patrol Upgrade Cheat)

75-(Citizen Remote Control)


What do you think of all this?


And how will you manage the Data Angels probe rating bug?

[eruditehamster]

o_O I wasn't aware of the Data Angels probe rating bug.

I never looked at this bug list before, many of these bugs I didn't know existed. I don't think I've exploited any of them, and I won't start exploiting them.

This map is fine.

Since I have no news of eruditehamster for some time, I reset this game. If you are looking for a new game experience (since most games feature 3-4 players and IA's), you are welcome here!

[binTravkin]

You should get a CMN.
