new 3 faction duel opponent sought

[Flubber]

I am looking for an opponent for a 3 faction duel along the lines of the one between chaunk and chairman slick.. Their thread is as follows



CCS 3 x 2 Turn reporting thread

this is a smax game between Chaunk and ChairmanSlick

Players, in turn order, are:

University
Morgan
Angels

(played by Chaunk)

and

Hive
CyCon
Industrial Alliance (a Morgan Clone*)

(played by ChairmanSlick)

No AI. Transcend level

Large map, 50% to 70% water, average everything, spoils off, directed research, all victory conditions on

* the Morgan clone can be found here

The 2101 turn has been sent to Chaunk

Good luck to you both - and enjoy





I have pmed googlie wondering if he would set something up using the same map ( to be less work for him). I am happy to to:

1. have each player pick a dream team ( but no duplication of factions within a team) OR
2. Do a draft with no duplicates allowed and with Player A picking 1st, 4th and 5th and Player B picking 2nd, 3rd and 6th . .. OR
3. Even play one of the teams above as in the other game

I'd like to do a draft (opponent can choose to be player A or B) but as I said I will do it any of the 3 ways

Turn rate-- I expect a reasonable turn rate as I can usually get out a turn a day and have even gotten 10 out in a day in this type of game in the early years if both players are online at the same time. However I accept that we all have lives and gaps are to be expected in playing for vacations,weekend stuff, work commitments or kids.

So does anyone want to play??

That sounds like fun, though it should be described as a 2x3.

I'm not real picky as to the faction selection method, as I will happily play at least half of the 14 factions of SMAX.

Turn rate - normally I can play up to twice a day, at lunch and at dinner, depending of course on whether I have the turn at that time.

Flubber, you accidentally put me at the top there vs. Chairman Slick!

It sounds interesting.

Chaos Theory as the first responder-- I guess you are my opponent

Well if you don't care, How about we go with he draft method?? and your choice as to whether you pick 1-4-5 or 2-3-6

Sorry about that-- I have edited it to put chaunk in there-- I only want to be involved in one of these at the moment so I can agree to take you on later or if you like this idea I bet you can wrangle an opponent in minutes if you posted a thread>

[Chaos Theory]

In that case, I'll take 2-3-6

[binTravkin]

Turn rate -> 5 a week (1 each weekday)

Game SMAX:

Any map settings (xcept ~50% ocean), any other settings

Faction draft:

Preservers of free flow of information:
Angels
Uni
PKs

The Rationalists:
Morgan
Hive
CyCon

The Outsiders(AI):
Pirates

AI is needed to keep council out of "deadlock" states when each team vote for his own and the result is 3:3..

Id very like one AI in game & to make him much much stronger, itd be very good to add enough energy & mineral satellites that every citizen gets +1 energy & +1 minerals till habdomes (habcomplex *2 = ~30 sats).

That will create a 1-2-1 total in unformed tiles
4-2-5 in kelp/harness with all appropriate base facilities
3-4-1 in kelp/mining platf. with all appropriate basefacs &without adv. ecoeng.

That would make AI quite competitive

I expect Svensgaard wont make big use of energy as he usually runs stupid SE, but minerals should be good

If you think it's too much, just remeber that he will switch to POWER asap thus giving himself -2 IND

[binTravkin]

You see-> a little change in those faction drafts, but you can choose first!

If you want a default set, then I will chose team A

[binTravkin]

btw-> your morgan clone link doesnt work!

[Flubber]

bintravkin-- perhaps you want to talk to smakism-- I'm playing chaos theory

As my first round pick I choose the Morganites ( I am really trying to learn to play better with them)

Its not my link-- I just copied text from the CCS 3x2 thread as an example of the type of game I was looking for-- the working link will bein the other thread

Not new ones no.

I am actually in something like 5 games at the moment but they are more advanced so the turns come around more slowly but take hours to play .I am just looking for a single duel to start right now. Once it is established ( in a month or so), I will see how my schedule is and decide then.

[Chaos Theory]

I'll go for the CyCon and PKs as picks 2 and 3

[Flubber]

I'll grab the data angels and Gaians


Hmm -- 5 picks and no one has taken the University Drones or Hive
