Do we have any special rules for this game? No EG, no choppers, etc.? I can't find anything.

Don't know, I'm newbie about MP game, what's EP? Why should we ban copter?

Usually we agree not to build Empath Guild for being overpowered as fek, and also we tend to limit usage of copters (like highest attack score allowed on chopters is 4 or such).

I hate to impose any rules midgame, but I doubt that anyone's gameplay so far would have been affected.

The most common agreement is that the Cloudbase Academy is OP and needs to go.

Most but not all players agree that the Empath Guild is OP, especially among the folk who know how to protect their bases. Free infiltration via an SP is, in my opinion, completely ridiculous. I always argue strongly against that and if I don't get my way, the EG inevitably becomes my priority.

Aircraft in SMAX is hugely OP in general and could use some serious nerfing. Barring that, we usually agree that either or both of the following rules are adopted: 1) Choppers can't use better weapons than 4, 2) Choppers can't attack base tiles. It stems from the fact that choppers are even more broken than the jets and can easily and swiftly empty even well-defended bases. In short, air power makes infantry and navy obsolete, good only for taking bases.

If you guys asked me, I would nerf aircraft movement down to 6. However, this would required changes to everyone's alphax.txt files.

Another OP unit is a crawler and I'd love to play without it one day... Oh well, next time I'll put it on the table.

Ok, if for all is ok we can agree:

no cloudbase,
no empath guild.

What is SP? Special project? You mean that has no sense free infiltration via empath guild?
what is fek?

And what about Hunter seeker algorithm? Is overpowered too.

For copter limit to 4 attack max it's ok.
I will let the aircraft as is.

[funbot]

Yup, all those houserules sound good for me.

And yus, sp is secret project, and fek is just milder way to say the F-word kek.

Hunter seeker has gotten bit nerf on the expansion, so don't feel it is as op as it used to be imo.
