Yes, Sparrow is correct.

Galactic Overlord is really picking up steam now, with both graphics and programming. Now we just need someone to code an AI, and it could become a real game.

Yeah, worth a few quid.

Oh a new game

GO VII is for all practical purposes over now. The GO VIII game thread will go up sometime this weekend.

We've got 19 signed up right now, I'd like to run this game with 22.

So,

Gamecube 64
Moron
Theben

any of you interested? anyone else can also sign up.

[Jamski]

Well, Smiley, we need to finalise the M orders then, before we run out of time I'm going to be adamant that they only get used once in an OoB, and that they double (100%) the next weapon's value, that all un-opposed attacks count double, and that M orders don't count for "unopposed" I guess you can offer an opinion on now. The rest of you who are not Smiley, I value your input too, but this ain't a democracy. Just because you suggest a smart change to the rules don't expect to get respect and a vote in the Galactic Council any time soon. Just be reassurred that because all the players play with the same restrictions, that the game will always be fair.

b) Are we going with the increased ship Hit Points as well, Smiley?

c) I was thinking of fitting the ships with Shields... ....well actually a new weapon type "Shieldgenerator Ships". They count double against Torpedoes and Fighters and triple (x3) vs Lasers, but if they beat the opponent cause no damage... maybe an option for future games of GO...

[Ljube]

M rules as proposed by Jamski are acceptable.

b) yes to increased hit points

c) let's try shield generators in GO IX

[Atragon]

Ditto here, those changes make sense to me.

Increased hit points This will make battles less random.

Shieldgenerators Interesting idea, but don't change too many variables at once.

Unopposed doing double damage With longer battles as a result of the 50% extra hitpoints, this makes more sense now since a couple of frigates won't cut it.

Maneuver not counting for unopposed With it limited to one use, it looks alright.


Snoopy369- finally got some time to play with the spreadsheet. That autofill button

Which of the above changes does the combat sheet account for?

Increased hit points, easily of course.

Unopposed doing double damage, sure, not a hard one.

Maneuver ... umm, maybe. That'll be the hard one. Give me a few days.

Theben has problems with his computer. The last he posted was on 24 January from an Internet cafe. He mentioned he would be away for some time. He also mentioned he had lots of things to do at work. So, I don't think he'll show for this GO. Perhaps for the next.

Snoopy- there's plenty of time, there won't be any battles the first round.

[Tassadar500]

When will we start this?
