Special Rules :

Every time you see a new race in the univers you have to send the Host a E-Mail , he checks if you real see the race and tell you if it is your ally or not .

Hmm - interesting.

However, I can't commit to any new game until the end of the end week of November. Somebody send me a reminder in 3 weeks or so.

Hmmm, won't the game be a bit unbalanced if the alliances are completely random?

If 2 adjoining races are allied they will have a big advantage since they are likely to meet immediately, begin cooperation, start easily inter-settling, etc. whereas, despite the small universe, the opposite would be true for 2 cross-universe races.

Yes, I am very aware that there will be a balancing act that will have to be performed.... both in terms of hw placement and race compatibility... I will do my best to ensure it is a balanced game.

I might join, but how will 12+ players in a small universe work out? In my opinion too crowdy with too little space to allow race designs that aren't quick-starters.

Since there is considerable chance that one's ally will be a great distance away, I'd say the penalty for IT is not big enough, since once they have found their ally, they can immediately double their space available for expansion.

Hello all
I’m ready to play this game. 4 teams are enough for the first time.

With only 8 players with the current settings I have have no worries it being too crowdy - I'm in.

To balance the game, should the 3rd party (who makes the teams) attempt to seed players in two levels according to experience and chosen race for this game? I.e. deliberately make sure the two most reputed players are not paired together.
