Just a little proposal with large repercussions...

[GeoModder]

How about a houserule for ACDG III that any faction may own maximum twice the number of crawlers/trawlers and formers/seaformers then it has bases at any time?

It keeps the AI longer competitive, and will surely increase turn playin' time because no numerous units need to be micromanaged. Rushing a SP still stays possible with this, and crawlers/formers do not necessary be rehomed to other bases when a given base already has 2 crawlers/formers.

Knowing you guys, I won't expect much support for such a proposal, but perhaps one can see it as a challenge...

I voted native life crawlers.

It would be interesting if you tried to enter fungus and an crawler appeared, especially interesting if the gaians captured it.

[GeoModder]

Voted yes, off course.

And to clear any misunderstandings, XenoCrawlers is the obligatory banana option, although your sugggestion is interesting Kody. It can easily be implemented in the #UNITS list by the map creator.

[Maniac]

Nice suggestion, but IMHO wouldn't it just encourage massive ICS?

[Googlie]

I voted "No", as it isn't faction-neutral. Morgan depends on crawlers to be competitive in the game, and if there are to be limits on what a faction can build or own, then let's limit armies, native units, probe activity, etc.

So, a resounding NO

[Chaunk]

No way José, for the same reasons as Googlie has given above.

Can we have a discussion thread before a poll next time please?

[conmcb25]

No offense

Another Morgan "NO" vote.

[Snowflake]

I voted no too. Not so much I know if it is to the Gaian's benefit, just because I don't think we should regulate the way one plays his game.

I guess I better started this topic in the help/strategy thread. But a discussion was barely needed looking at the votes sofar.

[Illuminatus]

Even I would vote no, because this is drastic, and needs a good discussion before poll.

[Impaler[WrG]]

Aditional Morgaic No vote. Though the idea is somewhat intriging to me none the less.

[Vander]

NO. We need to keep the game as vanilla as possible. That's what we've all played and I think we should keep it that way.

[Frankychan]

Morganic NO vote.

[Chaunk]

Seems like the Morganites have turned out in force at this election

[Nubclear]

Nyet!
