Hi, Drow21
If you are looking for CMN also, I can set up this game for you.

It is just after Easter holidays, probably in a few days the whole team will show up. Write more about what kind of game you wish to play. Settings, number of players, AI, etc.
======

SMAC

Drow21		Morgan(Sparta)
Platypus Rex	?
ForesterSOF	any
Lobo7922	Univ(Pirates,Cyber,DA), huge map

[drow21]

as im new im realy adaptable the only things id like to limit is
No alien races
no other victorories arpart from conquest
say 4/5 players
and preferably id like to be the morganites or spartans
spoils of war on
(any other segestions? as im realy new to this but realy looking forward to it)

ok lvl of ai hmm th usual is trancendant isnt it?

[Mart]

Yes, AI in SMAC even on transcend is easy to beat.
What is your experience in singleplayer?
Would you like enhanced AI? There are ways to make it play much better. Some moderate level is ok, if the game is going to be mostly for human players interaction. You possibly avoid situation when AI is more threatening than other human factions.

my eperince in sp is i play casual ive beat it on every posibl win an lvl (enhanced ai is that randomise events and social egendas?)

otherwise anything you sergest is fine

I rarely used this. In most cases players dislike it due to strange effects not in agreement with storyline. I am not sure also how much this would improve AI. Interesting would be to find out.

I thought about giving AI some additional units at the game start, some terraformed tiles already. Nothing big though, as you ask for a newbie game. Standard game setup gives poor AI performance, but we know now many ways to make AI really strong.

personaly as this is pbem id like if an experienced person set the game up so i can get a hang of playing it

[Leon Trotsky]

Only conquest victory on? I'm not sure... would there be cooperative victory?

[ForesterSOF]

Surprise me.

Set-up as you want and make me anyone you want.

The best time for me to play is 8 am my time which is GMT-7

ssjwyatt at cableone dot net or setup a turn tracking thread and put the save in it.
