Hi!

Balancing the PRTs was never the intention of the WoL games.
|
IMO the greatest "unbalancer" is allowing movement of early ships and not allowing to intercept them. The more starting ships a race has, the more planets it can scout. But nothing can beat a JoaT here: with 3 starting ships with built-in pen scanner and 50 turns of forced peace a JoaT will likely scout the whole universe.
I'm not exaggerating: JoaT can start with RHRS - a tech-6 scoop engine. A "scout" with RHRS and 40LY pen-scanner is able to scout a whole 400 LY long "arm" in ~20 turns. So in 50 forced-gen turns such JoaT could scout all arms. His own and of his ally he could scout with staring freighter and remote miner, who too have scanners.
IMO starting ships shouldn't be allowed to move.
BR, Iztok

Lawyers, politicians and Stars experts. 
Did the JOAT teams win the first Wheel of Life games? If not, who cares what JOAT can do before the others. 
Stars wasn't designed to be perfectly balanced. If so, we would all be only playing CA's. 
Good players can win with lesser races.
I've played in games where IS won, JOAT won, IT won, WM won, HE won, SS won, AR won, SD won... just haven't found a PP winner yet. But very few play them in the first place.

I dont mind who I team up with either.
No one seems to be making any suggestions though!
btw... it sounds as if there is not too much difference in skill between me and the so called "beginners".
I came 2nd in my last game, but we we're all playing AR (which I dont usually play) and the winner was one of the best players I've ever gone up against.
I could definitely do with some general advice on how to start this game, as I have not played in these conditions before.
I'm willing to have a go at playing any of the PRTs except AR, PP and HE (I imagine it would be difficult to colaborate without gates?).
All the other PRTs look viable to me. In fact some races that I have never considered desirable start to look good with the right team combination.

Would you like to get together, I'm on the east coast USA, so I'm off-line from 0230 to 1030 gmt (sleeping). My email is ed (.) joybells (@) gmail (.) com

Sorry, you've been pipped to the post by leknufrag,
who sent me an email earlier. At least that settles things.
Now all we need is another 2 players.

I was going to stay away from Stars until I remarry in Feb/Mar 2012 but, since this game is set at max. 100 hours, I should be able to fit this in despite my busy life right now.
However, I have not sought a partner at this stage AND I will be in Beijing from June 6-14.
My level is probably advanced intermediate (5-6 wins from 9-10 games from memory).
My timezone is GMT+8 (Philippines) but will change back to GMT+10 (east coast Australia) sometime late this year.
Whaddayathink? Do I look like too much trouble?
