Do beginners' games usually get filled quite fast then? I'm beginning to worry a little that this game won't get started due to lack of interested beginners.

The setup seems oriented towards a very fast-paced game. Is that the best setup for a beginners' game?

I suspect it may just be a timing issue. I would probably have gone for this game but I went for Vanilla 2012 instead, which recently started, plus there is the Stone Age Slog game which also started recently.

There is a British saying about waiting all day for a bus and then 3 come along at the same time. Seems to be a bit like that with new games at the moment.

I am not sure what you mean by a fast-paced game. Most games start at one turn every 24 hours or so and then slow down to say 3 turns a week later. I have not found this fast-paced as turns in the early years are pretty simple if for no reason other than the player does not have many ships or planets to play with.

My advice, if you haven't already done this, would be to set up games against the AI while you are waiting fo the game to start. These games should be as close as possible to the real game in the sense of being in the same sized universe with the same number of opponents. Then just try different approaches so you know the order you are going to do research, how many scouts etc. I think you only need to go as far as about 2420 as beyond that the human game is likely to be so very different to a game against the AIs.
