I can do 1 turn every day.

Hi bdanv. OK, I can count you in.

Let's wait for two more ppl.

Well, for the setup, I think we need a CMN...

[Mart]

i can CMN

[alexx]

Thanks mart.
We need balanced standard map for four players.

I am online all the time, and can easily do 1 turn per day, sometimes 2 depending on when the turns arrive.

I would prefer Hive, Morgan, or University, depending upon how we are settting the game up.

[alexx]

OK, we got four of us. Let's get this game going.
Guys, do you want to play smac or smacx ?

PS
mmonty, what's your email?

[mmontgomery]

My email is michael@montgo.us at home, and mmontgomery@slb.com at work. It is best to send the turns to both addresses, so that I can respond faster, since due to firewalling, I can't check my home email at work, or my work email from home.

While at work, I can take a few minutes and do short turns when they come in. Once the turns get longer, I can only do them at my lunch break. This only affect 9-5 central time. Otherwise, I can respond right away.

I prefer the rules of SMACX myself.

My preferred setup is:

Preference.. | Settings

Map size | Large
Ocean | 50-70%
Erosion | Average
Life | Average
Clouds | Dense
Difficulty | Transcend

Transcend | On
Diplomatic | On
Economic | On
Cooperative | On
Do or Die | On
Flexible start | On
Tech stag | Off
Spoils of war | On
Blind research | Off
Intense riv | Off
No survey | On
No scatter | Off
No rnd events | On
Time Warp | Off
Iron man | Off
Rand person | Off
Rand social | Off

If Cybernetic Con is in the game, then turn spoils of war OFF to avoid negating their special.

Of course, just because these are my preferences does not mean that we have to use them. But some of the setting do affect my preferred race. For example, if Native Life is ABUNDANT, then I prefer Gaia. If No scatter is ON, then I prefer Morgan. Otherwise, my preference is Hive, Morgan, and University, in that order.

[alexx]

I'd like smacx too..
Bdan, florin... can you play smacx??
what's your time
(i'm in Poland GMT +1)

[bdanv]

Smax is ok. I want the Gaians and abundant life forms, or Drones if is medium everything. I'm GMT+3 right now, but it will change to GMT+2 from October 29.

rest is same.......

I vote for coop, but only when it's 2v2
No 2v1v1
(two secrets allies team up against one player not allianced with other)

[bdanv]

If Cybernetic Con is in the game, then turn spoils of war OFF to avoid negating their special.

It is a SMAX game so I think that we should keep spoils of war off if we have Aki on the game (even if AI).

I agree with 2v2 cooperative.
