    Wow, rush hour suddenly...

    Ok, welcome Rubin, I think I can find myself in your preferences, except for the map size. Personally I prefer 'normal' (standard) for my first PBEM

    Mart7x5: Thanks, my email in case you don't have it already:

    xxxGeoModder@hotmail.comxxx (without the double xxx, off course)

    Factions:
    Sankis: Pirates
    GeoModder: Atlants (I'll send it over when Email addresses are in)
    DataAeolus: Data Angels or CyCon
    Rubin: University

    Flubber: Thanks for the advice, I think I prefer to follow it.

    My suggestions for the AI factions:

    Gaians
    Peacekeepers
    Morganites

    - I like abundant native life, but it's not an important issue for me.
    - Why not, instead of Probe Cruisers, Probe Foils this time? AI can build more of them, and it's less likely players (us) will temporary overlook them just because they are AI.

      If the land factions are separated on their continents, they almost have to pass by us to have access to their enemies on another continent.
      Yeah, that sounds cool. We can decide on a set-up when we get more players, but that does sound kinda cool. I'll make the new thread tomarrow, and hopefully can get this thing organized over the weekend.

        GeoModder, you may send the faction file to me. Do you have maybe graphics too? Should it be the Pirates files if no graphics for Atlants?

          It seems we have 4 players. We should decide on a turn order for optimal turn pace.

          Reviewing the setup I suggest we use a standard sized map. Standard native lifeforms. Do or die on. Flexible start on. No blind research. No intense rivalry. DEFINITELY NO UNITY SURVEY!!! No iron man.

          Probe foils may become available along with probe cruisers. I haven't tried this regarding the AI factions. I can setup the alphax.txt file and send it to mart7x5.

          Let's take the Hive instead of the Morganites for the AI.

          You can contact me at Rubin_Datalinks AT hotmail DOT com. I'll present a set of preferred House Rules for us to decide upon.

          mart7x5, can you use the upload feature here at Apolyton for the custom faction files?

            I have attached files succesfully before, so i guess i can upload some new.
            I think of scenario with new faction files and alphax.txt

              O yes, for the turn placement, I'm GMT+1, so I suppose ppl in the west better after me, ppl in the east before me and ppl in the south I must toss

                          Thank you for all the files and information.

                          I can set the players' order based on GMT, is this what all of you wish? In that case, what is your time zone, Rubin? --> i found it already, please disregard

                          Settings seem to be finally decided, but please about map size, write more specific choices. I think of Standard or Large. All of you appear flexible about it, but maybe a bit too much flexible

                          I will need some time to see the data, if all goes well game will be ready during the weekend

                                Yes, the alphax.txt file; but you will not need to do anything as the information is hard-coded in the save-file.

                                The custom faction needs to be intalled though, but it will not interfere with other PBEMs.
