Hi All,

I have decided to jump back in after 5 years of being out of Stars! So here's a new game for you to sink your fangs into... let me know if you're interested!

john *dot gates at ITT *dot com

Stone Age Slaughter 1


Overview:

In this game, players will be challenged to make the most of low-end tech and possibly re-think race design fundamentals to get the best chances for success in this environment. The usual strategy of maximizing cheap weapons tech will now have competing options on the tech track because of game and race settings.

Sticks and stones can break your bones!

Special Game Rules:

1. No Tech Trading Allowed. Tech trading is FORBIDDEN in this game (no wolf/lamb trading, no scrap ships, no pop drops on allies). Tech gains through legitimate battle with enemies is of course encouraged. Wink This is difficult to judge from afar, we are all counting on honor and pride to preserve this rule. It takes TWO to violate this.

2. No pre-game alliances PLEASE (this ruins the game for all). Temporary alliances are of course allowed as the game develops.

3. No cheating (split fleet dodge and chaff are allowed)


Game settings:

Players: 8 intermediate level (you should have at least one multi-player win… rusty old timers like me are also welcome; it’s like riding a bike I’m sure!) Advanced players welcome!

Size: Small / Dense

Slow Tech Advances

Private scores

Accelerated BBS = ON

Victory: Last man standing or by unanimous vote of remaining players.

HOST IS PLAYING

Generation Schedule: M-F until turn 30, and then to M-W-F when two or more players have requested a slowdown.

Players missing more than 5 turns will be set to inactive. PLEASE be committed to finishing the game before you join.

Special Race Requirements:

1. All races MUST take the Bleeding Edge Tech LRT
2. All races MUST take Weapons Expensive (+75% cost)
3. All PRT’s allowed with no other restrictions

PLAYERS CONFIRMED SO FAR
