    Hive Quadrangular (new smacx pbem)

    And here it is, the one you've all been waiting for: Yang vs Yang vs Yang vs Yang

    Standard rules with:
    WP pre-destroyed
    no co-op victory
    no tech trading
    tech-steal with base capture
    Stockpile energy bug allowed

    Map:
    Large, low fungus, low water, average erosion + clouds.
    4 cloned starting continents with one in each corner, linked by good sized landbridges with some central island chains.
    AIs with good starting position (I dont think we need sats etc.)

    You need to choose your name and faction name (If you don't want Yang's). Slot reserved for Lazerus. Possibly a slot reserved for Leon since he expressed an interest also.

    Setroc - Benefactor Setroc of The Hive
    Lazerus - Chairman Lazerus of The Hive
    Senethro - Homoerotic Senethro of The Russian Bodybuilders League
    Trotsky - Chairman Trotsky of The Hive

    Who will have the best controlled populace? Who will have the most fearsome industry? Who will have themselves controlled? Only one thing is certain: there isnt room on Planet for the 4 of us.

    Stockpile - Yes
    Co-operative - not sure yet

    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.

        I'm beginning to think we might be the only 2 Hive aficionados around here.

          damn i'll give leon a pm, and try nag some others, otherwise we could just do 1v1v1 with no co-op and maybe no trading to make it more aggressive ?

            I'm volunteering.

            However, the game will turn into a race to the WP. I'd prefer to have the WP pre-destroyed.
            Just for preference, I'd also like no co-op, and no tech trading, and tech-steal with base capture.

            How do those ideas sound?

              Do you already have all 4?

                Me, setroc, senethro, leon lol go bug cata

                Fine with that

                As for the no WP thing, well never really thought about it, i suppose it is really a massive SP for the Hive and an early game CBA so we could consider that

                    Don't forget the ascetic virtues, Yang's fauvorite SP (for me, at least).

                    I don't know, I think it's a bit much. The Hive almost forces you to play aggresively per se, perhaps not as much as the Believers, but I don't think we'll need to encourage conflict artificially. Just a thought, I'll wait and see what the others say.

                      I actually like Senethro's suggestions. In particular, removal of TWP. I think it will give the person to get it a bit of a big advantage. Ascetic virtues is also very nice, however, it will be the fatest researcher that gets that, not the first to pop AAs, and I dont think it has the same unbalancing effect. Not giving too much away on what SPs I'll be going for, Ascetic virtues isn't even my second favourite with Yang.

                        me and Laz seem to like Senethro's changes. If you're okay with that Leon, then we will implement them.

                            No probs, still need to find a CMN.

                            What should we do about the map btw ?

                            Large/Huge, low fungus, low water, average erosion + clouds.
                            4 cloned starting continents with one in each corner, linked by landbridges ?

                            What type of rules should we have aswell, standard + techsteal on + co-op off ?
                            scenario rule - no tech trading

                              yeah, those are fine. Map large, and do you agree to TWP pre-destroyed?
