  • New SMAX PBEM

    Looking to start another SMAX pbem.

    Thinking along the lines of standard sized average/average/average map with islands and landbridges.
    3CP flexible start
    Non-blind research, yada yada yada

    I'll be taking Hive for another spin.

    Number of players: 4 (we are now full)

    Setroc - Hive
    Sperber - Cult
    Leon - Drones
    Lazerus - Uni

    Hopefully a CMN will drop by soon

    Rules: (copied from cgn tournie rules)

    - A player may not restart a turn without good reason. The player should specify the reason in the game thread if he was not able to avoid reloading the turn. (Obviously, if a player has suffered some sort of crash during a turn, such a reload is unavoidable)

    - A player is not permitted to establish contact with another faction prior to having met them in-game.

    - If a player performs a probe team action other than to infiltrate against another player with whom (s)he is in a truce, treaty or pact, they must inform the probed player what it was they did and what they stole/sabotaged. They must also choose the 'declare vendetta/cancel pact' option when they perform the action.

    - A player is not permitted to make more than one social engineering change per line, per turn. For instance, one is not permitted to start the turn in wealth, switch to power mid-turn for the extra disbanded minerals, and then switch back to wealth that same turn, getting the refund.

    - A player is not permitted to use the 'demand withdrawal' feature against another player, leaving the AI the decision of whether to withdraw or not.

    - A player may not accept a bribe from another player's AI during council sessions.

    - A player may not perform multiple airdrops in a single turn with the same unit using the right-click menu.

    - A player may not use the F4 screen when infiltrated to change an opponent's workers to specialists.

    - If a player declares vendetta upon another player, either directly or indirectly, they must not accept a pending diplomatic agreement between the two factions in the same turn.

    - A player may not upgrade a particular type of unit using the design workshop, and then attack with that unit in the same turn.

    - A player may not make air drops using the right click "air drop to" function, when it is not possible to do so with the "i" button, ie. after already having moved or made a drop.

    - Stockpile energy bug: Allowed

      Welcome aboard.

      Out of curiosity, how much PBEM experience do you have?

          Space for a 4th and ready to roll ? I'll go Uni .. first time as something other then the Hive
          Learn to overcome the crass demands of flesh and bone, for they warp the matrix through which we perceive the world. Extend your awareness outward, beyond the self of body, to embrace the self of group and the self of humanity. The goals of the group and the greater race are transcendant, and to embrace them is to acheive enlightenment.

            Well, since you haven't attacked me in the first 9 turns of the other game, then I suppose so.

            Setroc - Hive
            Sperber - Cult
            Leon - ??
            Lazerus - Uni

            Are you sure you want to go cult with all these high powered factions floating about, sperber?

              I think I'm ready to try a game with the Pirates. There, I said it.

                Someone for Sperber to have a good chance against then!

                          I'm fine with my choice. The Cultists may not seem very powerful with their traits, but there's got to be something you can do with them and I'm eager to give it a try.

                          Besides, there are more factors that determine your performance in SMAC(X) than just your faction traits

                              Two factions going ICS on a standard sized map? As the only other player-controlled non-pirate faction, I must greatly protest!

                              Unless I get to be a Hive clone too (^^)
