New poll about modifications to the next ACDG game

/me shakes hands with Chaunk.

Anybody else wants to shake hands?

Hmmm. The Democracy game setup sounds predictable and boring. Not much chance for role playing with only the early game being ‘open’ (e.g. – directed research w/B-lines; critical techs/uber-units not really limited).

Factors that will make this game boring/uninteresting for me:
* Unrestricted use of nerve gas (defender=die) [except against aliens ]
* Directed research (I’ve given up on this one since there is so little interest in the challenge in semi-directed research; we have a lot of control freaks out there in SMAC land)
* Games with uber-units (choppers, and air power to a lesser extent) [in my PBEM's choppers are ignored, for obvious reasons]

As I see it every faction will be forced down the same road or be roadkill. There won’t be much room to take a different course; the penalty is death. There would seem to be almost no chance for real role playing, which why I was interested in the first place.

I’ll try not to fall asleep.

It is already an improvement over the present game that choppers will have limits, Hydro.
The longer it takes before those can go fullout, the more chance a faction can defend itself with AAA.

Ok, do we have a consensus?

• All choppers to be built with SAM until Fusion to limit ground attack power.
• CBA and Empath Guild disabled.

Those two are fine, as they satisfy the polls that have already been decided. It's about time it was decided by some to honour those results!

As a consequence, there is no need to modify text files. God I hope this satisifies those whinging about previous polls.
