New (and eager) SMAX multiplayer here

[Mart]

If we decide for CMN, then he/she might decide how to balance the Utopia faction, as for me it is ok the way it is now. I have prepared new table - please see above edited post. This game appears to be quite interesting - I hope we will have an excellent story to it too.
---------------------------
Quezacotl06, maybe a call for CMN would be good?

[Sankis]

I'd like to play pirates, if possible.

[Quezacotl06]

Whats cmn?

[Lazerus]

Techshare 3 and free holograms so effectively you're getting Planetary Datalinks and the Virtual World as free secret projects for the faction ? combined with great positives and almost nothing to hinder it (morale barely matters for a builder)
This is a very strong faction


Preferences : Transcend/thinker dont mind
Average erosion, rare lifeforms, 30-50% water, Large map average clouds, all victory conditions on, no to just about everything else apart from do or die which gets a yes vote

That's a problem in unpatched SMAX. I'd suggest you download SMAX patch version 2 from the Firaxis site.

[Lazerus]

- No free facilities that are not made available by your free technologies (no fusion labs unless fusion power is ur free tech (which it won't be)

didn't you kind of break your own rule anyways ?

[Ouro_827]

I thinks he gets planetary networks for a tech... And I was right! You people are all crazy! I haven't played over librarian for over a year and a half... not nearly as much as I did when I played SMAX for six to eight hours a day.... I guess I'll just have to try and remember how to play quick.... Everyone, declare prefs!

TECH, Psych

[Ouro_827]

We're waiting for that resolution and... sankis?

[Sankis]

Prefs:

Difficulty: High-middleish would be good.
Average Lifeforms
50-70% oceans(Hey, i'm pirates afterall )
Average Erosion
Largest possible map( i can't stand small ones, personally), Avg clouds
Spoils of War - On
Do or die - Never played with it on, and I have no clue what it does?
All victory conditions on

Everything else doesn't really matter to me. Also, i'm assuming that since we only have 6 PCs, one faction has to be CPU? I'm fine with anything but one of the alien races for CPU.

I have just edited the preferrence table, once again. please see it.

- CMN is Coordinator, Moderator, Narrator. I'll post for someone to volunteer.

- Lazerus, you indicated SocPsych as free tech, is then University you wish to play? or other faction?

- Quezacotl06, check the preferences, you started the thread - you decide and have final decision.

- Ouro_827, please post your modified Cybernetic Consciousness file if you wish to play it, so we all can see it.

- I propose as the seventh faction - Cult of Planet or Free Drones, accordingly to what you Almostz decide. Please all players tell your prefferences as for possible other factions also.

- As there is going to be 6 human players, difficulty setting has less influence compared to games with more AI factions. Too low diff. setting will make it really easy prey, if that fac will not be enhanced, but who knows.....

[Lazerus]

I was replying to the fact Ouro said the utopian faction started with planetary networks when infact it begins with social psych.

[Mart]

I see,
Lazerus, have you decided for any specific faction?
------------
Maybe your own generated or modified?

[Ouro_827]

OK, try to get that posted relatively soon..... if not it time, just stick me with regular....
