New SMAC PBEM - Blind Research turned ON !

[KrysiasKrusader]

Yep... you read the title correctiy - blind reaserch will be TURNED ON !

SMAC only, (that means not SMAX), the more players the merrier... We'll also need a CMN if anyone's interested...

Parameters:

Factions to be assigned randomly (that means be prepared to play any faction, including the, Believers/ Morgan)
Huge world
Medium to lots of ocean
High erosion
Lots of clouds
I'd like lots of native life, but we'll see.
Transcend level
And, of course, the ever popular Blind Reaserch turned on.

As this will probably be a 7 player game, people should be willing to commit to pushing out turns on a regular basis (that means often). This is done In order to keep the game rolling, and make it interesting for everyone involved.

Should be an interesting challenge. If you think ya got what it takes - - sign up below...

Hey KK, I'm in. Sounds interesting, as realistically, discoveries are usually by surprise anyway.

I know factions are random... but any chance you could rig it so I get the believers?

No seriously, I'm in, but i'd prefer average native life, not abundant.

Currently moderating ASPK II. So if you want I could CMN this one too. One question; since it's all random (faction) then how important is it to land far away from others?

Hey all,

May I suggest we start off with 1 or 2 extra colony pods and scouts to speed things along. It really helps make the early game turns more interesting, especially on a huge map with lots of ocean.

[knowhow2]

Four players so far.... are there anyone else interested?

[smhfan86]

we could just play, 4 players, and 3 ai, if it's okay with kk?

[Chaunk]

I have no problem with 4 players & 3ai. Guess we can wait for KK's verdict...

[Comstr]

I would play, but not as Belivers (the crapola research bugs me too much). So the random faction dons't do much for me. The rest of the rules look fine to me though, I don't mind blind research.

(ALTHOUGH, if AHAC2 dosn't start in a day or so, I'll be willing to play eitherway).

[knowhow2]

Say the word (or better yet type it ) and I'll start on a map.

[Comstr]

Ahh what the hell, please put me in please if there's room.

[knowhow2]

Still waiting for KK´s "verdict". 5 players with comstr, 2 more?

Patience... Patience, friends...

This setup will be well served with seven factions if possible. Do some recruiting of your own. Tell your friends about this.

No doubt there will be a lot of heavy negotiating in this game. Now...would you rather negotiate with another person ?
Or the AI ?

Lets give it another day, or so... It will be worth our while.
