To make it more interesting consider randomizing the player numbers and individually let each player know who his allies and enemies are without anyone else knowing.
|
Well, i think player can't have an influence on player, who is close to victory in this situation... But this aspect can be specified by poll before game start.
Also i didn't say... GP score is public and is updating when someone changes it.

The only potential hiccup I can see is that if two allied races get a decent way ahead then they can just obliterate the four races they're not allied to and end up with equal points. For example if players 1 and 2 make a mutual pact not to attack 3 or 8 and wipe out 4, 5, 6 and 7 then they both end with +2GP.
But just in writing that down I thought of the solution - as soon as it reaches this stage with 4 players left, the only thing for 1 to do will be attack 3, while 2 will have to attack 8 - then it becomes a bit of a strange game: a race against your ally to wipe out their remaining minor ally.
EDIT: The main thing that's going to throw up problems will be players dropping. If anyone drops it completely throws the balance of the game, giving a big advantage to their enemies and a big disadvantage to their allies. But I guess that's true of all team games.

The picture is important, and not impossible to duplicate in a game. I've played in galaxies more complex than this.

So, you can help to generate the universe with circular players positions? It's will bw nice...

It's not clear to me whether you intend that:
1. all planets will be positioned within the circles or
2. the HWs will be circular & the universe will otherwise be standard.
If (1) then it is likely to take quite a few remappings if ITs &/or PPs are involved because of their 2nd HW.
I can setup the universe for you in either case but I would probably need:
(1) with ITs/PPs involved: several days
(1) without ITs/PPs: one day
(2) with ITs/PPs involved: 2-3 days to position 2nd HWs.
(2) without ITs/PPs: 1-2 days
BTW I think that a medium, standard universe would be best. 288 stars/8 players = 36 planets each on average.

Exactly. The universe is random.

I haven't genned a galaxy like this, but I've played in one. The Diadochi wars was a re-creation of the Mediterranean sea in which each player represented a specific line of royalty. We fought to see who would be the rightful heir to Alexander's throne.
|
Diadochi Wars was my baby & was my first scenario, remapping & hosting (hence my AH handle). The circles in that scenario represented cities & planets formed tight circles with voids between. This one simply repositions HWs.
So I'll do the setup then. Players may as well send race files to me then by PM or to mcdonaldjk at bigpond dot com. I will need your race password if you use one.
