Googlie, I hope the worms leave you in peace soon. I must admit that I got a nice laugh out of your post. Not a laugh at your predicament, by any means, but a laugh because I thought I was the only one who used the "run for you lives" settings early in 'Poly games.

RP2 2124 to Chairman Flubber. There haven't been many worms (much to my distress). Could any of you arrange to send a few ferals my way?

Lots of worms in Hiveland but thankfully they have served as a welcome source of energy

2124 to CEO RedFred.

[RedFred]

I can't complain. I have only seen a couple mindworms so far.

Forward to Hobbes.

Well, my little fiefdom of around 125 to 150 explored tiles is some 50% fungus - I think DiliDad got mixed up and meant to put the Gaians here

Well, there is a lot of fungus over here too, restricting movement quite a bit. There is a lot of fungus on the standard HMoP, though, and it probably has not been reduced much, if at all, on the UBM.

I'm not used to Fog of War being on. Is this a common feature in Multiplayer?

Things like fog or investigate monoliths can be changed-- some games they are on and some they are off. When things get involved, I will often go in to check the settings and put them the way I like -- this will likely be the default setting for the next player but I'm not sure of that

2125 to RedFred.

Flubber, you are correct. When one player changes the settings, it changes for everyone in the game.

Hydro, I don't know about anyone else, but it is fine with me if you want to turn off the fog-of-war.

My only (fairly strong) game preference is that we please leave the "always investigate monoliths" option turned OFF. The reason is that it will stop movement for a unit that enters a monolith's square. That shouldn't be a problem for anyone trying to investigate a monolith, because the option screen will come up in the game.

I have no clue what I've explored because of the #&(%** fog of war. I also cast my vote in favour of removing it.

On to H0bbes.

[H0bbes]

Onwards to Googlie.

[Flubber]

I like fog of war when playing an "unknown" world but here it is less convenient, I agree.

and I also hate the investigate monolith on feature and ANY of the automove features

Moved smartly on to Tau Ceti
