race picks...........

[Gilgamensch]

30 : Tolerant / +10
20 : Repulsive / -6
110: Creative / +8
30 : Production +2 / +6
50 : Production +1 / +3
30 : Omniscient / +3
40 : Artifact HW / +3(?)
30 : Large HW / +1
0 : Rich HW / +2
50 : Dictatorship / 0
30 : Feudal / -4
40 : Uni / +6
40 : Science+2 / +6
120: Subterran / +6
40 : Aquatic / +5(?)
40 : -20& Ship def / -2
80 : Warlord / +4


those are the settings we decided upon, but I must admit I am not sure how to continue from here, we can't take them all , so we need to narrow down a bit................

Any suggestions? I'll think myself as well, but just in case

We could run another poll like the one before but less points for example............or set together out of this result combinations you have to vote upon............

[Harry Seldon]

We could organize them by number of votes, then select the attributes from the most to the least until we use all our picks. If we run out of picks for a selection, we move to the one below it to see if it will fit. That way we get the most picks with the most votes. If we have any points left over we can fight it out in another thread.

looks like creative/subterranean/warlord/+1 production/dictatorship/LHW

negatives will have to be chosen separately, though I doubt anyone would have anything against -pop/repulsive or even bumping off dictatorship and going feudal/repulsive.

[Old n Slow]

If we buy into the Creative Subbies for 14 points (yes/no -- first poll for confirmation), then it comes down to the last 6 points (second poll) and the negatives (third poll).

[Gilgamensch]

As Old N Slow already pointed out, creative and Sub have the highest points, but Warlord not being far away.............

But Production isn't so far away either, if you coun't both together.................

Maybe we should mention (just in case for newbies) we start with 10 free points for race picks and can get another 10 by using negative picks for a maximum of 20 points used on positive picks......

[vmxa1]

Maybe it is just me, but I do not see Warlord as worth much and certainly not useful for a creative race. It is a special trait as is Fuedal. They should only be used for fast conquest races. I don't think creative fits that.

[vmxa1]

Racial traits that fit with each other:


Unification government
Tolerant, +1 production, large
Aquatic, +1 production, +50% growth, rich, large
Aquatic, subterranean, +50% growth or +1 production
Subterranean, +1 food, +1 production, large
Creative, aquatic, large
Aquatic, omniscient, artifacts, rich, large
Aquatic, telepathic, rich, large

Democracy government
Lithovore, rich, large
Aquatic, +1 BC
Creative, aquatic

Regular government
Subterranean, Lithovore, +50% growth, large
Subterranean, aquatic, +100% growth, rich, large
Tolerant, Lithovore
Tolerant, +1 food, +2 production
Aquatic, +100% growth, +2 production, rich, large
Creative, aquatic, +1 production, artifacts, large
Creative, Lithovore, rich
Telepathic, Lithovore, artifacts, large
Telepathic, feudal, aquatic, rich, +50 ship offense, omniscient

[GhengisFarbâ„¢]

Perhaps we should do a point choice on negatives and then go with the most popular negatives to balance out the total.

[Gilgamensch]

OK another idea:

Everyone chooses and post a combo out of what is there and what he wants to use, staying within the limitations of MoO2 (so max. of -10 points for negative picks and therefore not more than +20 on positive picks.) This way we might be able to come down to only a few solutions on which we can vote in a normal poll?

might be the best to continue from here

How you think about this one?

That's 8 + 6 + 4 + 3 + 1 = 22. Won't do.
At least calc tells me so =)

[vmxa1]

It works, because he is using 1.2 version.
So it is 6+6+4+3+1=20

[Whoha]

no im using 1.3 with creative at 6.

[Iasius]

I know, it was like that in earlier versions, but look up to the first post in this thread. I thought it was decided already to use 1.31?

[Harry Seldon]

Me, too. I don't have 1.2.

The readme says that 1.3 changed the creative to 8 picks. So I don't get it, what are you saying, that you have done something to your version?
