Rules questions:

Is this transcend?
Stockpile in que is ok?
Crawler upgrades ok?
No soc eng quickies?
DW upgrades at end of turn only?
rev engeneering ok?
pod booming only to hab limits?
no other cheats(such as instant demon boil, etc)?
what did I miss?

(I'd forgotten we'd agreed to allow energy stockpiling - thanks b_c)

[big_canuk]

You're welcome. Just my small effort to show the socialist commies of the world the benefits of democratic sharing.

It's Thinker, on Solver's request, I think.

I don't know about the cheats. I'Il just use all of them unless if anybody objects. Unless right-click dropping, the demon boil bug, and reverse engineering a rover from a probe team. I firmly object against those.

Btw, does any of you ever use pod booming? That seems a great waste of minerals to me.

[DilithiumDad]

I suggest we follow standard ACOL rules, which are similar to Apolyton but stockpile energy, SE switching, and crawler upgrades are allowed.

Busting colony pods inside bases is indeed a big waste. When you found a new base, you get the bonus income from the base square plus 10 minerals back.

As we started out as a non-scenarioed, non-CMN'd PBEM, although we are allowed contact from the start the, game doesn't recognize this, hence shows no data re pacts or treaties.

We would know the status in a game if we had made contact, so I'll kick off (in response to an e-mail query)

I am pacted with the Gaians, PKs and Spartans, and treatied with the University

Others?

I am currently pacted with the Gaians and Hive, and now I know you are pacted with the PKs, I think I will follow your example and sign a pact with him as well. With Solver I only have a treaty.

Peacekeeper Times:


Unconfirmed sources report, that the benevolent Peacekeeper diplomats have secured or are about to secure trade pacts with all other factions on this brave new world. While Spartan relations are currently only treaty, intercepted radio messages indicate that a pact will be realized next year. Vice-brother Big_Canuk has been heard applauding the respect all have shown for the UN charter, and the intent of this mission.

Official Press Communiqué:

As Main Strategist of the Spartan Federation, I am allowed to confirm the coming pact with the United Nations Representatives on this new world. I can even tell our ambassadors are discussing further cooperation with another faction. More information on that subject will be released later.
