  • Replacer requested for 'Maniacal And Fossil Herculism'

    Hi all,

    Despite being active in the ACDG and Other Games fora here on Apolyton, Hercules seems to have turned inactive in all his PBEM games without saying a single word.

    Therefore we're looking for a replacer for the Drone faction in the game 'Maniacal And Fossil Herculism'. The game is still young - only MY 2120.

    Here are some more game specifics. To quote CMN Googlie:

    SMAX Game, 4 human players and 3 AI

    Transcend level

    Players (in turn order) are:

    Morgan - AndiD
    Peacekeepers - Maniac
    Drones - Hercules
    Cult - GeoModder (Ed.: already replaced by Fosse)

    AI - Gaians, University and Consciousness

    Large map (at 44 x 90 is marginally larger than Standard at 40 x 80, and frankly, with so much work invested in it to get it where it was there was no easy way to redo it by just reducing the mapsize)

    Average everything, 50 to 79% water. modded (ie I added some land in places for better balance)

    The AI has been modded to provide a stiffer challenge (given starting bases whereas y'all start with 3 colony pods and assorted units, some basic infrastructure, some lurkers, etc - oh, and some satellites to follow the latest in CMN thinking on how to make them more builder-competitive)

    I playtested out to 2150, and went back in and gave a few more advantages to the human players (rivers, a monolith in places, etc) as the AI was somewhat stronger (relatively) that I'd bargained for)
    A special rule in this game is that choppers aren't allowed to attack bases. CBA & EG secret projects are disabled.

    Is anyone interested in taking over his position in this game?

    Though of course we'll take anyone if there's little interest, preference goes to players who:
    1) are reliable, who won't disappear or quit after a couple turns.
    2) can (at least at this early stage of the game) forward the turn within a decent time (unless of course due to extraordinary circumstances, vacations, etc...), eg within 24 hours of receiving it.
    3) are experienced PBEMers.

    I'll take it. Not a real good Drones player, but heah, no better time to learn, eh?

    And if Herc shows up later, why np giving the game back if he so chooses.

      Thanks!

      I'll ask the other players if it's ok, but I assume it won't be a problem.

      For the password I think you should PM Googlie.

          Just the thought of me mucking up your position was enough to bring you back, eh Herc?

          Anyways, np on helping out, and Welcome Back!
