[Kirov]

I'll reply tomorrow late or on Sunday, I have a run tomorrow.

[Kirov]

Everything is fine by me. One more question - do we take AI?

It seems that what we're left here is picking factions. I'm concerned that one of us will end up with both Hive and Domai. How do you want to go about it? One of them is an obvious choice and I'm looking for uses of other factions, too.

Do we have any incentive not to prototype the quantum planet buster and be the first to use it? I'm worried that 'all tech' scenarios will inevitably end like this.

[roninscg]

quantum planet buster ban, ok?


I prefer hive, if is ok for you i teke
and it does not matter i knowe Domei is better,
or we take same faction, for me is ok and that

you wana ban som faction?

[Kirov]

So do we ban all PB or jus the best one? It's actually called 'singularity', but it's been ages since I played the late game.

I still need to think about faction choices. That tech thing changes so much!

[roninscg]

yes all PB, is beter like that

[Kirov]

And do you think about victory conditions? Is it only domination? Obviously we need to rule out transcendence, and I can imagine some tricky ways to grab the diplomatic or the economic victory early on.

[roninscg]

only domination

[Kirov]

Ok, the obvious choice for me is Domai+Miriam, but I'm worried that it can be too strong. What's your addition to Yang and what do you think about the balance of those pairs? I can downgrade if needed. We play the big guns, but I wouldn't mind a game like Santiago+Lal vs Miriam+Roze.

Damn, this all-tech setup changes soo much. I'm not sure that I get to like it, but let's give it a try.

[Kirov]

and I'm away for the weekend.

[roninscg]

Hive and Spartans probably or Hive and  or  and 

I have to think about it



What do you think about we not choosing a hive and a dome? or we chose like this

  vs 

[Kirov]

OK, I'm for that, good factions are entry-level (but the same applies to the aliens, too;).

In that case, I can take Miriam and Roze - I see this doesn't spoil your faction selection.

If you're fine with that and ready to pick your own ones, you can start nagging Mart about the map. I'm back on Sunday.

[roninscg]

im thinking to chose  and 

or

 ;yang;and 

[Kirov]

Hm, I don't know if the aliens wouldn't disrupt the balance...

What do you say for this - my Miriam and Roze against your Yang and Santi?

[roninscg]

ok, lets start
