3 Players Wanted (transcend level)

Copy of game file sent to Googlie (pre turn MY 2115).

MY 2115 to Tai Mai Shu - Peacekeepers

[Googlie]

jdm:

see the SMAC manual, p12. (Morgan starts with Industrial Base)

Also the Morgan.txt files shows the starting SE set-up and tech.

Your game with Ind Econ must have been a scenario set-up

(And could you resend the turn to me at:

linfrew@aol.com

- for some reason the file saves as embedded text in the email itesel, so I get a 468k e-mail message that I can't read - thanks)

Googlie,
Your right about page 12, but take a look at page 125; perhaps they couldn't make up their minds and went with Ind Base, but didn't clean up the docs completely. Going FM right from the beginning could be interesting. Will send game file again.

Interesting - I never noticed that before.

And imagine Morgan as FM from turn 1 onwards !!

I think, IIRC, that the Hive is the only faction that can change SE choices from the begiining (assuming enough credits) - of course the Uni could too if the appropriate tech were chosen as a start tech.

Prima's guide gives Ind Base as the tech, but they presumably drew their data from the Morgan.txt files and not the Firaxis manual.

I'll open a thread for discussion in the general forum and see what responses we get

(and the resend worked like a charm)

PS - I can't edit the subject title - only the Board moderators can do that.

I played a few years on from the saved game sent me - you all look to be in good shape. Don't forget to put 'stockpile energy' in your build queues when building units - you'll need all the help you can get
