    I'm interested , although with a huge world we could be facing 30-40 turns between techs in the early game.

      welcome jpj, that's why i suggested we start off with a couple extra pods and scouts, to speed things up. it's worked wonders in my other pbems, while the ones that only start with two pods, are extremely slow.

        I play my turns regularly, smhfan86 can patch for that.

            My emails is comstar@optushome.com.au btw. And Im fully suggest SOMEONE check the random setup (to say, prevent Yang starting in the Jungle while Morgon starts off in the desert for example).

            And a few starting pods to speed up the game till we meet would be nice.

              Hokay ! We got 7 players.

              I'm discussing the setup details with knowhow2. Things that we're working on is the exact size of the map. An extra colony pod or two, and a scout patrol. Plus probably a unity foil. The only thing thats really up in the air is the native life question... so lets hear from everybody on this one now.

              Stay tuned hear for updates...

              Any questions don't hesitate to mail me... krysiaskrusader@sympatico.ca

                      Setup looks nice. Random factions is a great idea. Abundant native life is OK with me. It provides some extra challenge, especially at the beginning. And it treats Gaians fairly. I think SMAC factions were designed to play in abundant native life environment anyway.

                        I'd prefer standard native life, as having abundunt would unfairly give the gaians, an already powerful faction in their own right, a huge advantage.

                        they already get a free army from capturing mind worms, but with this, they'd get even more. also, it'd slow down the progress of the game for everyone else.

                          With ai involved I generally prefer standard native life, but seeing as this is 7 human players, we're all gonna be on a similar platform, except for the gaians and miriam. I say abundant is fine... super fine if i land deirdre
