Looking to have game on Auto Host by Early January as to avoid the Xmas season.

Universe
Medium Dense with remapped HW's
12 Players divided in to 4 teams of 3 based on skill level.


Game parameters
Yes Slow Tech Advances
Yes Accelerated BBS
Random Events On
Chaff and Split Fleet Dodge allowed, all other cheats are banned.
All players not on your team must be set to Enemy
May only share tech, intel, and trade with members of own team.
Host will be playing. 3rd party is skoormit who will check race files and remap HW's.

Race Restrictions
Teams can pick only 1 race from each grouping. Once teams are established there will be a 7 to 10 day window to discuss with your teammates race design. I will not be posting players emails on the forum so you will have to PM your teammates in order to get hold of them once list is established.

Group 1: CA, JoAT, IT
Group 2: IS, SD, HE
Group 3: WM, SS, PP
Group 4: AR

Victory goes to Last Team Standing.

Skill level will be determined by number of games play so when you say your in also include the number of game you have played including those still running. I will try to keep the teams as balanced as possible based on this system when making the team.

Skill groups are;
5 or less games played
6 - 11 games played
12+ games played.

A list of teams will be posted prior to race design, any greivances regarding teams must be stated within 72 hours of list being posted.

Universe will look the same as any generated game but HW's will be moved so that allies start closer to each other then to enemies. Will be trying to get a team in each of the 4 cornors during remapping.

Sounds interesting. What kind of penalties will be applied to the more powerful races? 'Cause if none, the CA and JOAT will walk all over everybody.

I'm interested, I've played 4 or 5 games on SAH, no victories.

The last one I started, I was pretty much killed by the gen. I had a 1I race with 1 in 4, and only had 4 worlds livable out of about 35. Crying or Very Sad

I am definitely interested, but I agree with oldmetalhead, if the more powerful races are not penalized, then it is certain that each team will contain a CA with TT, and that CA will spend much of their production capability producing OAs. What restrictions will there be, other than the fact that each team can only have one race from each group ?

I have played in 4 games on AH (no victories), and have watched (as non-playing host) 2 games.

I have a suggestion: In addition to taking skill into account when setting up the teams, it might be an idea to take time zones into account, as three teammates who live in the same timezone will find it easier to discuss matters than three teammates who live 8 timezones apart from each other (Europe - Japan - US west coast is one example that would produce that result). I live in Copenhagen, Denmark (CET, GMT+1).

What will the turn generation schedule be like ? With three teammates having to discuss things, 24 hours is definitely too short, but with slow tech advances, the game is going to last a long time.

I believe that the idea is that you have to pick up a race from each grouping, not to have alliances stated by the groupings.

For example, if one of your teamates choose IT, then your team won't be able to field a CA or a JOAT anymore.

It's a great idea for the time zone. I'm GMT -4. And I want in! Smile

Edit: Oh yeah, and I'm a complete newbie. Never even played a (multiplayer) game before...

There are not any restrictions on the economic power house races since each team is only allowed to have one in its alliance. Its up to what is best for you and your team as to weither to go with a TT CA, or a -f JoAT or instant defence with an IT (or which ever style of these races you want to play). Each team has to pick which is best for them with reguards to there other 2 racial choices.

One more thing, will each team share a Hab range, or are they allowed to interleaf their ranges?

Its up to the team to deside if habs are overlapping or not when time is given to develop the races. I would suggest though that not everyone have the same hab range or you will just cause problems with inter settling within your own team.

Hehe ,

well think we will not be in a team in thes game when i understand the settings right .
But Xadre if you ant to team up Micha and me we would make a 2 player team against all this 3 player teams .
Could be the better way if noone other joins for even teams .

ccmaster ( GMT +1 )

PS : only possible if Micha accept a 2 player team Smile

With 2 veteran players interested im trying to recruit 2 more so that there is one vet per team. If this can be done it would be the best for team balances and the best way for newer players to learn how to play efficently.

the 2 player team is still on the table but as ive sent some other veteran players about the game im hoping they will show interest in the game. If not then the 2 player team could be the best option.

Personally I find it would also be better to have teams with each a more experienced player, it would offer a better learning experience for new players than a team with only beginners ...

I'll join the team of Micha and ccmaster *grin

Just kidding.
As much as I liked it to be called a vet by this bold charmer Xardre, I won't have the time to play... because soon I plan to host Fledging Admirals V. And to play myself in Rheumatic Admirals I which is supposed to follow the settings of the Fledging Admirals serial but is intended for the winners of the previous games plus intermediates or better.
