Hive quadrangular... sounds like fun.

Yes, but in my opinion it would dismiss the fun of pitching different strategies against each other - what makes SMAC so much more fun than Civ. Hive can't pop boom, Hive will never corner the energy market - so we will probably all take quite similar approaches to crack each other's bases.Comment

I know, I know... but it still is something we should do one day. That's the sort of things you tell your grandchildren stories about.Comment

As a matter of fact, I was. Perhaps we should consider the idea for another game.Originally posted by Lazerus

Yeah definately if this remains as a standard game (choice seems to be yours sperber) , we'd have 3 out of the 4 (?) already.Learn to overcome the crass demands of flesh and bone, for they warp the matrix through which we perceive the world.

I'm already playing Hive in another PBEM game, so at the moment I would rather play something different. Let's just play a standard game.Comment
-
okay, we'll stick to what we've got.
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.
What do you guys want to do about stockpile energy bug?Comment

As for stockpile i've normally played with it off, but don't mind if you 3 want it on.Learn to overcome the crass demands of flesh and bone, for they warp the matrix through which we perceive the world.

I'm not really experienced enough to cope with any super aggressive powerful AIs, nor am I sure exactly how a CMN can edit them. Do you (or anyone else playing) have any suggestions? Or perhaps 4 of us is enough to fill up a standard map, after all, with Hive I need all the room I can get!
Thanks a lot for volunteering kata, look forward to the map
My takes on the stockpile debate: my reason for choosing standard size map was to allow a bit of momentum play, so I would have chosen to allow the stockpile bug, but I'm easy.Comment

Thanks for volunteering, Kata.
