SMAX pbem: in excelsis deo

[illiria]

I would like to start another game since some of the games that are still in progress are entering the last phase (final conquest)...and starting now could help pass the first, unexciting, 50 turns without getting bored and without too much time consumed.

Settings:
4 players (hopefully a turn per day, average of 4 turns a week?!)
difficulty: second highest
map: the tournament map, all players on the islands, computer players on the poles (i will check to see it is like that before sending out the 1st turn)
mind worms: many or few?
factions: how about the computer players being the aliens, everybody else uses humans, no matter if we have SMAC or SMAX.

any other prefs?

[Flomper]

I'll play as the Cult

*F*

Yours is an excellent plan, Illiria, and I would like to be a part of it.
My 2 cents worth:
Worms: Medium or many.
Faction: Spartan or Morgan.

[Qualicide]

ill be in

faction: DRONES!

[illiria]

The game is setup as a scenario, everybody has 2 colony pods, we all are on the islands, the aliens and miriam at the poles (each alien has 2 colony pods on one pole, and miriam has one colony pod on each of the poles.)
The aliens do not hate each other!

Turn sent to Flomper

I hope this works

[illiria]

I dont know what the problem is, but the game file seems OK for me here, I just checked it: after me iuts flomper, then Q (as drones) then Rue (as spartans)...?!

2103 ---> Illiria

Because we are a collection of idiots in need of a beer? Just a guess.

[illiria]

duh. because in the scenario editor I did not set them? (I thought these were set automatically)

[Flomper]

What the? Do I look like an alien to anyone else? I thought I was the Cult? And Q looks like the Hive?!? Is this just something flakey on my computer?

2103 -> Q
