Sure you know all about making a monster race and playing it , but what would you do with a sub-par race? Ready to prove it? Nana nana bubu

Game concept 1:
Humanoid Hoedown
Tiny, Sparse, Distant, Acc BBs, minimum 5 players. Host not playing.
All players get the bog standard humanoids
Victory goes to the last player with colonists and ships. 2 Guns

Game concept 2:
Rabitoid Round-up
Small, Packed, Distant, Acc BBs, minimum 5 players. Host not playing.
All players get the bog standard Rabbitoids
Victory goes to the player that holds the most planets producing more than 1000 resources, for 12 years after attaining tech level 16 in at least 2 fields. Deal

I am sure some dregs will whinge about the race restrictions. Keep an eye out for them in future games. They are the type that cherry pick games full of newbs, Sneaky

and they just rely on race design work done by others because they got no game. Very Happy

Time to test your game play mettle. Who will be the next Kearns or Butler?

Been there, done that, more than once. The Humanoids need far more room than that! Shocked

So many Stars, so few Missiles!

In space no one can hear you scheme! Deal

I would ask "room for what?" but it doesn't matter. This is not the game for you.

For the sake of clarity of the rules... Will the countdown be publicly displayed once a player is starting the 12 years so others can also react and compete for victory? Or will it be a secret?

Victory conditions (in game setup) will be set to display players that have met the tech requirements. Once a player reaches level 16 in two fields, public player score is activated.

I could require everyone be set to enemy, and set to attack enemies (instead of player specific battle orders).

A ban on scrapping ships at enemy bases is easily enforceable, but wolf/lamb and pop invasion would be more difficult. I could ban invasions, or use the duck test.
