"The Dark Ages 3" (Primitive Stars!) Rules:

Game will be hosted on Autohost.
Turns will generate Tue-Thu-Sat @ 4:00 AM GMT.

Race Creation Rules are as follows:
1. All leftover advantage points MUST be set to "defenses".
2. NO AR PRT.
3. NO CA PRT.
4. NO IT PRT.
5. NO JoaT with NAS (JoaT without NAS is allowed).
6. NO Total Terraform.
7. NO Improved Fuel Efficiency.
8. Maximum race wizard pop growth rate 8% for non-HE races.
9. Maximum race wizard pop growth rate 5% for HE races*.
10. All races MUST have a radiation setting of 70-100mR.
11. May only be immune to either gravity or temperature, not both.
12. Factory efficiency no better than 1.2
13. Mine efficiency no better than 1.2
14. Factories operated no higher than 15.

19. NO cheap propulsion tech.
20. Weapons tech MUST be set to EXPENSIVE.

22. The net cost of tech fields must be zero or higher (e.g. expensive=+1, normal=0, cheap=-1).
23. All race designs MUST leave at least 2000 advantage points remaining.

Game Play Rules are as follows:
1. NO standard fuel pods may be used.
2. Any initial ships with fuel pods MUST be scrapped on turn 1.
3. The tech 14 super fuel tank IS allowed, just not the tech 0 part.
4. NO Inner Strength fuel transports.
5. NO super fuel xports for any race.
6. The HE settler's delight IS allowed.
7. The Radiating Hydro-Ram Scoop and the Trans-Galactic Super Scoop are the ONLY ramscoop engines allowed.
8. PP races may only throw packets that are of the SMALLEST possible size for initial 20 years.
9. NO STAR GATES!
10. All players MUST have all other players set to ENEMY, and all battle plans MUST have "Attack Who" set to "Everyone".

Game settings are as follows:
- Medium, normal universe
- Distant player positions
- Approx 10 players
- No Random Events
- Highest score after 80 years (instead of PPS)

Victory conditions:
- 1 race wins by consensus or annihilation.

* 5% Growth rate for HE in wizard actually translates to 10%.

Other Stuff:
- Create your race and password-protect it.
- Host is playing.
- A non-playing 3rd party monitor will verify race creation rules have been followed. Details to follow.
- The same 3rd party monitor will also check the game from time to time to ensure game play rules are being followed. If you change your password, you must inform the monitor.
- Cheaters get 1 warning, and are dropped for subsequent offence.
- You can still form alliances and tech trade, etc; HOWEVER ...
- You cannot cooperate in battles (Game Play Rule #10).

Finally:
This is a SLOW game. It will require patience, and stamina. If you are not ready for a minimum YEAR-LONG committment, then DO NOT APPLY ... this is NOT the game for you. I want dedicated Stars! players who can go the distance. Send me a note to indicate your desire to play. You will receive an email telling you where to send your race file. Good luck.
