new challenge

[illiria]

How about we try this for a change:

I am going to setup a game that we all play for 10 turns. Then we rotate the game files and each of us continues a save game from someone else for another 10 turns and so on?

[wgabrie]

Sounds great, but to bad I'm going on a trip Nov. 13 - 18. I guess i'll have to sit this one out.

[Admiral]

A succession game. Sure. With SMAX running now, it might even work.

[Rue]

I'm confused just reading about it, so count me in

[illiria]

OK, I will set up the game and send it out today.

Lets do the following turn order/swap cycle:

Illiria
Rue
Admiral
wgabrie
(any others)

So I will send out the game today, and everybody will do 1o turns (i.e. until 2110, save and send the turn file to the next one in line.

[Rue]

2111 --> Admiral

oops, I went to 2111

[Admiral]

2122-->Wgabrei
so we'll have to wait until the 18th
oh well, better than me and Muliplayer games (it's working, it's worling, i swear)

[illiria]

2110 -> Rue.

Nice layout of unity pods...2 artefacts until now. Also just started to research formers..

[Admiral]

wait, so are we all supposed to play the first ten turns and then send it to the next person, so we have mulitiple succession games going on at the same time? Is that it?

[wgabrie]

2111, 2132 -> illiria
I'm back, so we can start up our games again.

[illiria]

Yes, but we play each turn (year) only once, in different save games. So basically the games will all turn out to be different depending on when each player played since we all do change some part of history, and have to adopt to the "world" we get from the others

[Rue]

smax --> Ash

Drones was an appropriate choice of race for this experiment. I suppose you had thought of that when you began it, right? Feeling dull.

[illiria]

I just thought a change in leadership and the lack of a long term strategy makes a good background for Drones..
