One game idea I would be interested in trying is a game in which you are forced to use a specific race... Which is exactly the same than all other players!
This would mean that the winner would be the one who manage to make the best of what he has, both in term of managing his empire than in term of tactical deployment on the field.
A game with only SS or PP playing would be nice to try out.

Why would that require .m/.hst editing?
Just have the host lay down that as a starting condition....
The second concept by Xyligun (Pefect world) sounds more suited for what you have in mind, if it's the same race being played. Even if it's not the same race, it would still be a good test to see how you make do with what you have.. much more reliable than having the hab gods screw it up for you.
Coming to Xyli's offer of having special games, I was thinking of a Stargate variation. Haven't watched much of it, but from the 3 episodes I've seen :
>A (or three) predominantly space race (The Wraith) which are in slumber till 2425.. as they have depleted their food stock down to the minimum level (humans!!).
> A system of stargates (Ancients) (by a race set to friendly to all.. minimum pop on world, with any/any gates) spread out across the universe. This will be an inactive race.
These can't be killed or pop-dropped by either the Wraith or the humans. Anyone who pop-drops/bombs/attacks the base, gets booted out of the game).
> The wraith awaken from their slumber with Nubian fleets, in the bang middle of the universe in 2425 when they estimate that the human HW's will have grown big again.
>No scouts, except one scout with a peerless scanner and NAS, so they can see all ship movements in the universe, but can't scan planets, unless they visit the planet themselves.
>They have fully scouted universes from 2400 so they know the primary HWs.
>No bombers.
>They can thus attack only fleets in space and in orbit, but not actual population at the start..
> Once they have woken up enough and after they start realising that humans have spread out again in the universe.. (Surprise.. humans got space travel again!!),
The wraith are given (a limited number??) of bat scanner MiniMorphs with 3 complete phase shields, 4 Disruptors(or Mega Disruptors.. not pulverizers though), 1 Ovethuster and 1 Superlatium armor (or perhaps another OT).. in 2439...
> These mini-morphs will act as those scout ships that the Wraith send out.
>To make it interesting, give them bombers in 2460 and a HW in 2475 that is suddenly revealed with 10 million pop (is that possible?) and 2 fully loaded Deathstars (i.e. 1 deathstar which replaces a shot down deathstar, in the very next year).
>The humans have to ofcourse survive till 2475 and eradicate these 1-3 HWs while the Wraith have to harvest the humans again for food and bring them down to 2400 levels.
>The Wraith can't expand beyond these HW planets. (?)
It's a human vs wraith game.. but
> No restriction of allying or fighting between/amongst the humans .. but they can't ally with the Wraith.
The humans can fight each other for mineral rich planets, as long as they remember that the wraith are the long term goal.
>Perhaps have all humans play the centered habs.. so they are more inclined to fight each other for mineral rich planets.
It's upto each human race, if they want to broaden or narrow the habs.(?)
>The Wraith can do whatever they want.. ally with each other, attack each other.. even force the humans to build bombers for them, in exchange for sparing their HWs.  .
They just can't ally with the humans.
Actually, Wraith can't attack each other.. I'll fine tune this later to avoid pre-game agreements between humans/wraith players.
>Just a rough draft, but something to this effect.. I'll think of hosting this once I complete 5 games here.. If someone wants to go with something of this sort, feel free. I can brainstorm the finer points, if someone else
...
I know my minefields.. but I'm a chaff sweeper.
I used to curse when I got stuck in traffic... till I realised I AM traffic.Report message to a moderator
