    Slow Burn PBEM

    After play-testing of my last pbem scenario "Fast and furious" I decided to get reid of "all tech on" option, and start another pbem, based on FF scenario.
    This is same map (slightly modified in order to remove one bug, and for better balance )

    Idea:
    Tiny map with four angry factions:
    (in turn order)
    1.Hive
    2.Sparta
    3.Believers
    4.PK

    Each fractions has similar terrain and same equipment:

    On start you get:
    3 Colony Pods
    3 formers
    3 Scouts
    3 rovers
    5 Probe teams!! (trust no one! )
    2 Crawlers
    2 alien artifacts
    150 EC in cash


    In the middle of the map there are Ruins which would be good to capture.

    There are two ways of winning.
    1. Kill all opponents
    2. Building a city inside Ruins and holding it continuously for 20 turns. If no one manage to capture it, you are the WINNER! (of course all other players should not allow this).
    Player who will build a city must inform other players that in 20 turns he will win if they do not conquer his city.
    If you play cooperative (2v2) then one side should hold the Ruin city for 30 turns.

    Other rules:
    - No Planet Busters (you should use only conventional weaponry)
    - Attacking Ruin City with Nerve Gas is not allowed if Ruin City has size of 1
    - No Council (no Planetary Gov)

    /////////////////

    If you wanna play just sign in, and pick your faction.

    It's ok with me,

    but I thought about one more rule - No Council (no peeking other players without infitrating them - PK would have too much advantage in election)

    PS Heniu - pick your faction

    Ok then. No council. Anyway I picked them up just because they have no real weakness


    Also you may add this rule to the scenario ...

    I've updated scenario, and rules.

    PS Heniu picked Sparta.

    We need one more player (Hive, Believers are still free)

    I would like to join. I prefer Hive. Thanks!

    We need to play SMACX where Hive was corrected to have immunity to (in)efficinecy, to avoid putting the Hive at a disadvantage. Or perhaps the scenario could be set up to make sure Hive has immunity to (in)efficiency.

    if Heniu has smacx then we may play it. In other case we will have to stick with Smac. You can change faction to believiers if you want...

    Or perhaps the scenario could be set up to make sure Hive has immunity to (in)efficiency.
    How to do that?

    Ok, it's smacx then,

    The turn order is:
    1.Hive (Monty)
    2.Sparta (Heniu)
    3.Believers (Alexx)
    4.PK (Bdanv)

    FIRST TURN SENT TO MONTY!

    I got the first turn, and tried to play it at lunch break at work. Unfortunately, I hit glitch with the supply crawlers, that I wanted to wait until I got home to explore.

    It seems that you can't give the "Support From Here" command to the supply crawlers. It just does not show up on the pop-up. But without being able to associate the supply crawlers with a city, you can't use them to gather resources.

    So can we fix the supply crawlers and try again?

    There is no need to try again. I know this bug(?)
    You can asociate crawlers using command keys.
    Use: CTRL + H on your crawler (while in base). This should work.

    So please reload game and let's play

    OK, the control key worked fine. I replayed the turn and sent it on to Heniu.

    I think we have a problem. My SE settings are all screwed up:



    This is no way near PK's SE settings

    I checked out, and it is true. Bdan have weird SE settings - this was an issue earlier in this map (I dont know how to fix this bug)


    There is one way around this - you can "change" your Economics settings to Simple (cost: 40 EC)
    and in second turn change Future Society to NONE (cost another 40 EC)
    This should fix this problem.
    You will spend 80 EC on fixing this.

    I suggest other players participate in this costs and send you 20 EC each. (we'll all end up having 130 EC)

    Guys what you say?

    Scenario was corrected. I've checked all factions and all seems OK.

    First turn re-send to monty.
