    Is everyone fine with GeoModders suggestions?
    How about 40 x 80 (standard) though for map size? Then we don't need a custom map size (and don't have that annoying "feature" with Growth & Industry SE being affected if you recall).

    Regarding custom alphax.txts, unless you're playing a scenario you would have to change alphax.txt every time you play IIRC. Only the #UNITS section is stored in the save file.

      I like standard map and would prefer not having to change alphax.txt every time I play. I'm the current ACDG3 turnplayer and would hate to mess things up...

        Any suggestions for a CMN btw? (Googlie's currently unavailable, for the record)

          Darsnan? Mart?

          In case you like a slightly modded game, I recommend Mart.

              Oh how come?
              I still see him post from time to time though.


              Anyway, if the map is standard size, and we don't get any extra units, my choice for faction easily falls on the Spartans.

              What faction will you pick, GeoModder?

              What are your e-mail addy's?

                  Is it normal PBEMs are so slow to start up, or is there just little interest?

                    A bunch of new PBEMs have just started up (CMNed 2 of them myself), so this is a period of lesser activity FYI.
                    But you have GeoModder, Herc, ChickenBrain, AndiD, Zalek and you already.

                    Im wondering what you're complaining about..
                    You have already too much players (3-4 is optimal) and you just need to find a CMN (which is your job if CMN doesn't appear himself).

                    Best options: Googlie, Mart7x5 (he's a good mapmaker).
                    Darsnan, Buster are out since recent.
                    Rubin, Kody have been out for a long time.
                    Im too busy.
                    Lazerus is another option - has recently rejoined SMACX community and I remember him setting up at least one game.

                      I'd be willing to help, if you really want a newbie setting the game up for you

                                Many of the people around here are skilled, Googlie, Mart, and Darsnan among them. Mart would be your best shot if you want a great game, but like I said, I am willing to do what I can - the players need to agree on settings for your game too.
