Call To Power 2 Cradle 3+ mod in progress: https://apolyton.net/forum/other-games/call-to-power-2/ctp2-creation/9437883-making-cradle-3-fully-compatible-with-the-apolyton-edition
I could get into a new game, but I would much rather it were SMAX. FYI, you'all might be able to get SMAX at a reasonable cost not far from home if the following is accurate: Availability/Cost of SMAX according to Dreifels.
Anyway, I could Setup/CMN the game for you people if you end up doing SMAC and can get enough players together. OTOH, I might be tempted by a SMAC team game (with 2 or 3 teams), either arbitrary or "themed" partnerships.
I have time to play another game SMAC or SMACX. Team or not. However I don't think Johndmuller wants to be on my team (that won't rule out playing in the same game though )
Large, Random map -Average Erosion, Native Life, Clouds, Oceans
Default Settings - Directed Research, Pods On, Do or Die, Iron Man, etc.
Last chance for more specification on the settings. I will email Dcole78 to see whether or not he is "in" this game - since he started this thread, I would expect him to be, but who knows? I'm still open to playing a team game (two three-man or 3 two-man) if you all want to go that way, but if I don't see any agreement on that before I hear back from Dcole78, I'll just go ahead and set up the game.
If anyone has a password they want used, send me an email at John's email address and I will incorporate it when I run the first turn. If I hear back from Dcole78 soon I can probably have the game ready over the weekend sometime, otherwise probably on Tuesday (reserving Monday for the IRS ).
I have a preference towards Blind Research myself. It seems most people like the Directed Research though, so don't let this point hold us back at all.
Hey all have emailed him and I am definitly in, hopefully first turns will start coming around soon. So what are we calling this for turn reporting? Also the non-human controled factions (looks to be the peacekeepers only) will still be around correct? Which level are we placing them at, I would prefer talent make them at least somewhat of a challenge . As for teams I prefer to let them develop naturaly as the game progresses, can the hive overcome their problems with the peacekeepers to ally with them when they have the believers breathing down their necks? What about the gians and the morganites? Tis just more fun that way I think.
Also have enjoyed sending in character emails to other players (only those I have located in game of course). Allows for more complicated treaties to be developed and adds a bit of roleplaying to the mix, which SMAC lends itself to so very well. Does anyone have a problem with this? Thanks a bunch this should be great!
