Title: New SMAX game
Post by: Rymdolov on August 28, 2012, 06:23:53 PM

So, how about another PBEM? Since the other new one is SMAC, maybe this one could be SMAX (though without alien factions, please)? My map preferences can be seen in the table below. As for rules, these are important to me:

Reveal map - No
Not randomly assigned factions
No randomized social agendas or personalities

Uhm, I guess those are the only ones I care about. I like blind research, but nobody else seems to do so and it's not a big deal to me. I can see the point of having directed research in an MP game.

Setup	Preferences		Rymdolov
-	Factions	Gaians	Cyborgs	University	Morganites	Spartans	Believers	Peacekeepers
SMAX	Game: SMAC/SMAX & patches	v5.0(XP patch)+unofficial patch(Scient)
?	Map: Random or not		Random
Tiny/Small/Medium	Size		Tiny/Small/Medium
?	Ocean coverage		Lots!
?	Erosive forces		average
?	Native life forms		Sparse
?	Cloud cover		average
?	Unity pods: on/off		The one not in other game
	Difficulty level		Librarian or higher

Anyone up for it? Adjust the appropriate fac name to pick a SMAX faction.

I picked the Cyborgs instead.  ;aki;

If someone else wants that faction, that's ok by me. I could go for a straight SMAC game, too, if that's what it takes for people to join.  ;)

One thing I'd suggest - the best games to follow, as a bystander at least, have fair amount of roleplaying.  Some of these guys are pretty good at it, and appear to have fun that way; a good writer should have no trouble thinking of ways to talk smack in, for instance, Aki's computerish way...

Sure thing, I'm up for RPing, if it's about writing posts in a game thread on this forum.

Great Rymdolov, that's the spirit.
I am joining and all your preferences are ok by me.
Just let the map be Medium, that's my only wish.

About the faction choice I have think about a litte bit, but I think it would be either Cult or Drones in SMAX or Morgan or Yang in SMAC.

I admit also I like blind research, I played ten years only single players games and always with blind research to let it be more realistic and to give the AI a chance, and often it were close games.
But in  MP games I changed my minds, you want to plan better and everyone has its own strategy, Blind Research would deny a lot of your decisions in an MP game. So I can understand your point very well, but it's more interesting in MP games with Blind Research off I think.

Maybe any other newbie MP player to join?

No, don't be scared, it will be just a simple PBEM game, and who likes to RPing will have extra fun within this game.  :danc:

I'm going to let it, whether it makes sense or not, I'm afraid. Well, at least I try not to go out of character too much. It's scary how easy it is to make up excuses for losing your ideology to gain a few benefits, though.

A medium map is fine by me.

Yes, I absolutely agree on your statement here, too. I'd do it the same way.

Post by: Rymdolov on August 28, 2012, 08:14:12 PM

Btw, I think that maybe ocean coverage shouldn't be high if someone wants to play as the Pirates. That would be too much of an advantage, wouldn't it?

Ok, that took some time. I added rule preferences. Have a look, Arm, and tell me if I've interpreted you right. The factions are suggestions; comments are welcome. I'd like to have AIs in the game.

Average oceans are ok for a medium map, so I changed my vote.

Post by: Rymdolov on August 29, 2012, 11:56:23 AM

We have a third player.  :tada:

Ok, this is the new table with demiurg added. The issues that, to me, seem to be resolved have been added to the column farthest to the left (like sisko would do). I've taken for granted that both of you want all victory conditions to be on. As soon as Arm's had a look and a say about the unresolved ones (by flipping a coin? :D) we are set for a 3 player game!

Oh, maybe we should discuss what other factions to use (as AI). I think it would be fair if each of us has one "natural enemy" on the map, ie, a faction leader who demands that you use a SE choice which you can't. Deirdre, for example, demands Green politics from Morgan who can't make that choice, making them natural enemies.

Just for the unresolved rules:

Since the other game will start with scattered pods, I would suggest this game without pods.
Days before turn pushed is 7 days, though I think this won't happen with these players  :D
Demiurg, you got anything else, or should we sisko ask to setup a fair map?

Anyhow, I have to say that I will be on a trip without my comp until Tuesday. It would be great if we could start next week.

Yes, I think it's fine. I just hope we can keep the turn/24h even with four players. And also Rym's idea about AI (each gets a natural enemy) is maybe not possible anymore. But I didn't check it, so maybe. Still I think it's a nice idea. If not possible, I would suggest random AI.

Title: Re: New SMAX game

No, I like them, though I often not know how to use them.

Title: Re: New SMAX game
Post by: Rymdolov on August 31, 2012, 03:27:03 PM

1) I like landmarks, too. You can find their functions both in the manual(s) and in the in-game datalinks, if that's what you mean. If you find the Unity Wreckage, make sure to explore all squares of it, since there are a number of goodies to be found randomly spread across it (four, I think).

2) Turning pods off is ok for me.

3) Starting next week sounds good to me.

4) The natural enemy thing seemed a good idea in theory, but this game is so darned well balanced!  :D Morgan can use Green politics, for example. Natural enemies make the most difference between two or more AI-controlled facs. I say we might just as well pick some factions that we think are cool. My suggestion is that you pick one AI faction each. That's ok by me.

5) Oh, and I agree that Bodissey is welcome to join.  :)

Title: Re: New SMAX game
Post by: Armageddon on August 31, 2012, 03:45:02 PM

I'm in!
And as I like Blind research in my SP games (always played it), I would try to do it with an MP game, too. I think the trading will become more important, and the faction leading could not be sure to keep the advantage. So I would like to have a try. If not Blind Research, I'm also in.

For faction choice, I like to try Pirates, the most unknown faction to me.

On the rules and setup, I go with Rym. I would like to get experience in different setup and rules, so I have no objections.

That's all okay.

If we choose an AI faction, I would vote for Pirates, because they have natural advantage (make them live a little bit longer), it is not easy to slave them early, and I like them in general. It's good to have a faction on the seas.
I wouldn't pick University (danger of tech slave to a human player) and UN (because of the double votes), while the other ones are alright. But if you will decide it differently in the end, it's also no problem for me.

Title: Re: New SMAX game
Post by: Bodissey on August 31, 2012, 04:06:03 PM

Believers can become quite a pain -if allowed to grow-- with their attack bonus.
I also have suffered some Spartan rover rush by the AI so either faction would be cool.

Title: Re: New SMAX game
Post by: Armageddon on August 31, 2012, 04:07:51 PM

We don't want the AI:s to be pushovers, so that sounds very good to me. Two explorer factions and the Spartans, who can never be trusted at all, makes for a couple of facs who will at least not be eradicated easily or quickly.

Post by: Rymdolov on August 31, 2012, 08:11:58 PM

I think we could let Bodissey decide about the Bell curve. No random events, that is.

This is what the final setup will look like, it seems. Unless there are any final objections? If not, it's time to ask sisko to set up a game, gather passwords, etc, so that we are ready to start playing next week.

On a side note I think that players should announce expected abscences, but of course IRL interfers every now and then. Like it says in the forum's MP rules.

Oh yeah, about the roleplaying thing. I think we'll start a turn tracking thread where we can also post fac leader journal notes, snapshots from life in our factions or whatever rp pieces we like. RP:ing should add extra fun to playing the game and make the game more fun to follow for interested non-players (BU and sisko :D). It shouldn't be a cause of stress or pressure to write a lot when not inspired. So we'll keep it at the level with which each of us is comfortable at any given time.

To add some flavour you could change your profile picture to the portrait of the fac leader you're playing (as I have). It will also make it easier to follow who's writing what.

Who says no to occasional bumper crops?  :D

I've changed the table to include random events (ie the Bell Curve option is off). Are we good to go, then? We'll have to wait for Arm.

I could set up if you need, but It would take me a week (no more though).
PM me or mail if you still need.
