Hey guys. I have posted this game once before, and though it recieved a lot of interest, it didnt get near to enough players to actually start up. So, here are the new, slightly revised rules.


Overloaded:

IT game only! This game will have a 100 year jump, and be set in a small-sparse universe. All races must be IT, have NAS selected, and have all Hab. ranges set to smallest and shifted all the way to the right. There will also be one trade/info race that will be completely neutral, have advanced scanners, and have maxed tech by the end of the 100 year gen (hopefully).


-small-sparse universe
-Only IT PRT is allowed
-All must select NAS
-Accelerated BBS
-Max Minerals
-No Random Events


Rules:
-all races must have Hab. ranges set to smallest setting and shifted all the way to the right.
-Packets ARE allowed.
-There is NO scouting during the 100 year gen, you must scrap all starting ships.
-max of one ally. If you ally with another player, you must ditch the first, and notify him as well.
-Standard rules on cheats (chaff and dodge)

Winning conditions-
The surviving alliance (max of 2 peaple) will be declared the winners

All skill levels welcome (but would rather they are experienced)
Looking for 10-15 players

I will NOT be playing except as the trade/info race, unless someone wants to do the info race just for fun.

If I have missed anything, ask. Anyone interested can post here, or email me at dtwillson at thegeek dot NU

I have a page that lets you set the tech levels at the start of the game, it even allows you to set them upto 127 rather than the normal 26 which allows you to build ships cheaply due to miniturisation.

Some Questions / Clarifications:

- May ships be built in the 100 year phase?
- May those ships be sent to other planets by "route"?
- I assume that I can give the 2400 orders, then a 100 year generation will take place. Correct?
- What is the setting for player positions?
- I assume no pregame alliances, right?

Thanks,
Andreas

No ships may be built. Also, the starting ships must be scrapped.
They may not.
That is correct.
Not sure, I will be test-genning this soon.
Right.

What does trade/info mean? Do you sell info or tech?

Yes. Info, tech, and ships. All for a minor mineral cost, of course.

Hello All,

I've been gone a while, but wouldn't mind getting in this game if the opportunity is still there.

I see it's filling slowly. Nice Smile

One remark: If you want everyone to have max tech, then you should choose more than 100 years. If not, it's fine as is, testing will be very important then.

Thanks,
Andreas / wizard

That does mean, that luck will decide the game, imo. There will be rare planets only, which will give you a suitable hab - and this hab will be nearly 100%. Or do I misunderstand anything?

It seems to be a game with mostly the original planets only or do I understand something wrong? For me it's a funny and a little bit confusing setting.

The game settings indicate there won't be many uninhabited planets period, relative to otherwise. You might pick up TT as it's not very expensive with such narrow hab. On the off chance you can find one to inhabit, but chances are rather slim.

But from my perspective, why bother terraforming when you can grab that nice 100% HW next door Twisted Evil
