Hard Rocks

Game name: Hard Rocks

Description: What happens if you can't mine your inhabited worlds? You have to build lots of remote miners, that's what. When the mineral side of your economy becomes very expensive to develop, you must adapt different strategies. Let's see who can adapt the best.

# Players: 8
Skill level: intermediate or better.

Universe: Medium. Density normal. Average # planets per player = 36.

Other Game settings: Positions = Distant, ABBS

PRTs:
AR = NOT ALLOWED
CA (must leave 150 RW points set to defences)
IT (must leave 100 RW points set to defences)
JOAT (must leave 50 RW points set to defences)
Any other (no penalty)

VC: Exceeds second place score by 100%, or by majority agreement among active players. At least 50 years must pass.

Diplomacy: No contact whatsoever allowed between players. Managing the miners will be time-consuming enough. Let's keep this game tactical/strategical.

Special Rule: All races must have mine settings set to worst possible (5/15/5).

Cheats/Bugs: chaff and split fleet allowed. Everything else disallowed.

Gen Schedule:
Daily or MTWTF if anyone has a problem with weekends. After 2420 any request to slow down to 50 hours max or MWF will be granted.

PLEASE DO NOT join this game if you are likely to drop when things get tough. With all the remote mining, this game will take a little more management time. Be prepared for that.

Send your race file to me (use the email button below). If you put a password on your race file let me know what it is. If someone would like to be a non-playing third party to submit the game files to autohost, that's fine.

CORRUPT RACE FILES
If you create a race file & then change your race name you will probably corrupt it (it's a bug) so the easiest thing to do is either don't change the race name or write down the design & recreate the race file. Another way that works is to change the name one character at a time, re-saving the file each time.

What we need's a few good taters.
