SMAC or SMAX? What map size? Directed or non-directed research?

[t_ras]

Basicall all the usual effects except you don't have an AI with certain built in advantages

Cost for SE changes-- drones come earlier (size 2 on transcend)-- formulas for ecodamage and research are also affected IIRC


My opinion on this game

DON'T DO IT

The completion rate for 7 player games is shockingly low. My completion rate on 7 player PBEM games is 0%-- while I love the idea of the diplomatic tangles inherent with 7 humans, I have never had one of these games come close to finishing.

So I will wish you well but be prepared for 3days between turns ( if things go well)

.. he is right you know... perhaps there's some way we could arrange for an IP game... once a week, we get togther for an hour, rather than a PBEM game...

[t_ras]

I'm ok with 3 days between turns.

lets try. i have other games. if we finnish it fine if not...well...lets enjoy it and that

I'd say 3 days between turns is a very positive estimate, especially considering the game is SMAC and the turn order can't be adjusted based on people's location.

[phsycho]

YessS a real game once per week !

count me in

[self biased]

well, phsycho... that might not be the case, but in any event, we'd prolly get more accomplished doing that.

[t_ras]

ok the moment we get anough players we'll begin...

[SmartFart]

Count me in.
I'll take Morgan.

Remark: If not transcend,I'll give it a miss.
