Victory: Allied seems like a bad idea to me. Just means a couple people will team up early, and then others will be forced to team up as well. And then you have a team game.

[Tonitrus]

Thought about that.

My thinking was enforced teams games might be too rigid, and while voluntary may work out the same, at least there is the possibility of back-stabbing.  Of course, the only incentive to sell put is personal glory.

It has the plus side of eliminating some of the tedious end-game mopping of weaker allies. 

I thought maybe a massive map might also take away the certainty of solid early game alliances.  Unless they're always going to be personality-based/favoritism...but I like to take a fresh, role-playing approach to each game, and not be a grognard, number-crunching Borg. 

[Berkut]

Fair enough - the game is pretty new, and I am always interested in "seeing how things work out".

Lord knows our first game that went the distance saw multiple back stabs...

[Tonitrus]

Accidentally made the game with unlimited custom points. 

Should we kill it, or play as Supermen? 

[Tonitrus]

Looking at it, there are a couple strategic variables, though pretty much only in how the research tree is managed, and high vs low gravity worlds.

[Berkut]

Limited custom points what?

[Berkut]

You mean unlimited.

Yeah, that sounds lame. I say start over.

Add "Dr Big Dog" to the game as well.

[Tonitrus]

Bringing in ringers? 

[Barrister]

So which is the right game?

It's weird - there's Wi-Fi at the courthouse.  I can access Safari and other internet services.  I can start up Orion and it logs me into Game Center, but if I try to go into a game it says "can not connect to server".

[Habbaku]

I've had that a few times, Beeb.  Try rebooting your device.

[Tonitrus]

So which is the right game?

Combat of Qazar

[Tonitrus]

Who is this Big Dog guy anyway, and why is he so slow? 

[Berkut]

Friend of mine and Hab's, lives here in Rochester.

[Hansmeister]

Let me know the next time you plan to play, my handle is HansMarc.

[Tonitrus]

I'm always for adding another game. 

Though I worry the others might feel over-saturated.
