History tells us that, millennia ago, the rulers and scientific wizards of the old empire in their great moment of hubris had created four monuments to the power of their civilization and utter domination over the million worlds and countless trillions of beings in the galaxy. These four monuments, the
Fulcrum worlds, the size of solar systems, at the center of the galaxy supposedly were instruments with the purpose of enabling the transcendence to godhood should they be activated at once.
This was not to be. A titanic war of galactic proportions ensued as the vying factions strove to further their own agendas. Countless centuries of war ensued of catastrophic proportions. The Empire faded from existence into a myriad of warring clans, republics, and states. Eventually they dwindled to a few lone systems. Entire spiral arms were annihilated, and
flung from the galaxy. The remnants of the empire dispersed and fell into anarchy, and the physical constituency of the galaxy torn asunder.
For most of the last, nearly two and a half thousand years, the worlds of the galaxy have lived in an uneasy state of peace as a number of worlds have found their way back into space and have taken their first fledgling steps into the stars. Each race knew the distant, but bloody history of the galaxy. Each fledgling civilization knew what still lie at the center of their cluster of the galaxy. Eight disputing alliances of two came together in a great council to decide the future of their civilizations. The Council made a pact not to venture beyond their home systems to protect the future life of the galaxy and never to venture forth toward the Fulcrum worlds at the center of the galaxy.
It is year 2400 since the establishment of the Pact, and it is about to be broken. The allure of godhood has become too great and one race will venture forth into space, threatening to end 2400 years of peace and prosperity. The political state is one of paranoia, and political relations between the 16 surviving races of the galaxy have ossified into 8 alliances.
Each of those is ready to expand out into space and reclaim it as theirs, and to head forth toward the Fulcrum worlds to seek glory, power, and knowledge. Each knows that the in the center of the galaxy lies the fulcrum of power, and only the strongest and most capable can tip the scale to their favor...
Special Victory Conditions:
Alliance of 2 races must occupy 4 Fulcrum worlds with a starbase of 10,000+
rating for 5 consecutive years to claim victory.
Game will be generated and worlds chosen by 3rd party host. Worlds will
have vastly divergent habitation variables. Game will be generated such
that all races are placed roughly equidistant from one another and from the
center of the universe.
Game will have 3rd party host.
If you wish to join this game, email <poster>
Once 16 players are recruited, I will contact the host, race files will be due, and game will be created.
On skill levels...
intermediate==4+ games against human players. Fewer if you've won several
games against 10+ players.
Game is expected to be highly competitive.
Also...usual note on cheats...
Anything that requires editing of files with an external tool is obviously forbidden. Any player caught doing so will be summarily removed from game, banned, and labeled a dumbass to all hosts that any player in the game knows. And if the person lives within a stones throw, house will be pelted with eggs and feces.
Chaff allowed, split fleets, allowed.
Min damage and battle board overloading exploitation prohibited.
Pop stealing and any blatantly obvious cheats are forbidden...I'm sure SuperXDude (the host) probably has a list of ugly cheats to be forbidden somewhere.

Are pregame alliances allowed or will they be randomly assigned at the start of the game by the 3rd party host?
I'm interested in this one.

Yes, very good question... are we starting with pregame alliances? I/we are interested if this is the case.
