That's about the only chance for other races to survive. They'd have a chance before CA hits the TT-25. With TT-25 it "monsterizes" so badly (84% planets livable, 56% of them breeders) it would be bloody hard to stop it.
IMO such a test in huge normal uni is not a real proof, because it would become a game of all others vs. CA(s). If there would not be enough CAs (like 5) to "spread" other races more proportionally, it would be pointless to play.
The "all-enemy" setting also negates the big diplo advantage CAs have: Orbital Adjusters. In normal games the player that meets his CA neighbour always has the big dilemma: if he fights it, it stalls his development, easily missing opportunity to win. But if he allies with CA, both can grow BIIIG, easily winning the game.
If one'd rally want to test CA capability, he should've put it in a small normal uni with one other race as opposition. Both races should also be played by the players of about the same level. And OFC repeat the test 10 times, to minimize impact of the starting conditions. Then he'd see the CA would win most of the time vs. any race but the ccmaster's duel -f HE .

Hi Iztok!
As I just said, the aim this game would not be to test the abilities of the PRT CA, but rather to show that JoaT should not be disregarded when talking about PRTs which are well suited to a large or huge universe.
As a matter of fact, I would not regard such a game as a test of any kind. You are right of course: To test any of the PRTs would need a setup such as you suggested. And most other PRTs would have a problem against a CA in such a setting. Which would still be inconclusive...
Btw: I have beaten ccmaster in a duel, and he was playing his -f HE. He says his planet draw was unfavourable.
Anyway: The game I suggested was mainly intended as a chance for magicmushroom to show that JoaT is so much worse than CA that it doesn't stand a chance.
I'd be willing to go along with the players if they want to have different rules for the diplomatics. This would give the CAs a chance to make friends and would help other races with nice toys. It would be a disadvantage for JoaTs because they haven't got much to offer except their brute strength.
If magicmushroom is interested in the game, I'll set up an announcement in a separate thread.
Regards,
AE
