Email Game

[Krec-USA]

looking to play email game.

[Senethro]

+1 for new email game.

[Lord_Icewind]

Add me! I suppose it's SMAX, so I would like Sven or Deirde.

[Krec-USA]

would like to get at least 4

[binTravkin]

Factions:

Krec-USA: ?
Senethro: ?
Lord_Icewind: Pirates
? : ? (you might not want 4, as the less players the faster game and speed is important at PBEM)

Game types: ? (SMAX is the default, but Krec has to decide this)
Difficulty: Transcend (I guess )

Map settings:
Size: ?
Native: ?
Ocean: ?
Rain: ?
Erosion: ?

Victories: All (I suppose )

Other settings: ?

CMN: ? (Darsnan is around and can do the scenario in a weeks time, I guess)

'kay, if you want a fourth guy I could do it.

If most of you are new players, choose your factions first then and I pick one afterwards, for I got some experience already.

I like:
Normal size (or even smaller )
Lot's of native life
50-70% ocean (or 30-50 if the map is smaller)
Heavy rain
Least erosion as possible (I like mountainuous terrain)

Some extra's:
Darsnans tricks to make the AI tougher.

[Senethro]

Could we have a soft ban on Drones/Uni/Hive?
I'd like to go Peacekeepers vs super-uber-AI, Believers otherwise and Drones in response to a human choosing Uni/Hive.

If with 3 players, co-operative victory off.
Normal map size or smaller.
Average erosion please. (Rocky squares make my forests cry)

Factions:

Krec-USA: ? (better not Drones/Hive/Uni)
Senethro: PKs
Lord_Icewind: Pirates
GeoModder: What's left

But if Krec insists his skills are not so good, maybe he can take those "banned" factions, can't he?
He's a thead starter after all..

[Senethro]

Its only a soft ban, not a hard ban like on the Proggys. I just didn't want to be the first to broach the Drone/Hive/Uni can of worms.

[GeoModder]

Hive and Drones are best as AI factions anyway, it makes them more competitive in the longer run. I would welcome it if no player takes the Uni as well. Then at least it is less of a cursed techrace game.

Senethro: don't worry about too many rocky tiles with low erosion, the CMN tinkers on the map anyway and can remove an excess of those tiles... but remember the benefits of rocky tiles as well!

I was thinking of taking the Believers if experience levels are not too high. just to try something new, and challenge myself a bit.

[Krec-USA]

i like data angels

[Krec-USA]

i also like tech stag and blind research

[GeoModder]

Cool for me...

It's the first time I would play a PBEM with these settings.

[Krec-USA]

i have icq 27609820 to chat further

[Senethro]

Oooooh, blind research, I don't know about that. Sorry, you'll have to count me out. I get somewhat frustrated when I have habdomes before I get energy restrictions lifted.
