I think the more players the better.

Variety is the spice of life. Diplomacy makes up for the time spent not doing your turns. The more players the more diplomacy and the more variety.

Yeah me too.

Its for an idea for a game though. I get x number of players to submit, set no conditions. I place polls on here for favourite conditions, and the highest vote wins. Votes on size, density, distance etc....obviously a race which is fairly adaptive is going to do best. The conditions are chosen by the "public"

I was thinking of calling it popular support.

I voted for 2 since I am currently enjoying a very challenging duel against Dan C. It has been lots of fun seeing the battle reports rolling in from first contact as opposed to the usual multi-player scenario of little action until high weapons techs are achieved. 1 vs 1 is more like a Game of Chess rather than a game of Diplomacy. Both require strategy to succeed - just different kinds.

The need to develop a different strategy for each particular game situation is one of the things that makes STARS! great.
