Offer for new game - the last man standing!

[t_ras]

Here its how it goes:
I prepare two games on small maps.
only military victory. No AIs
You play two turns each time (one on each map).
You get 5 points for last man standing, 3 if you were in the last two of a game and 1 if you dndt get eliminated first.
The winner is the player who gets the most points from the two games.

ARE YOU READY TO RUMBLE!

i am interested, although i do not fully understand it.  you say there are no AI present, so we need 7 players, right? both games would be setting's identical, including factions?

[Buster's Uncle]

It could be as little as two players.  More than four, the veterans do not recommend, as the more people, the more chance for something to mess up the game ever completing.

-Or maybe I don't understand what t's getting at, in which case, ignore the loudmouth non-MPlayer.

[lorddragonhat]

ahh! so more than a faction per player, a lot of synergism there... may represent more than a challenge for me, but i could try it if you guys can tolerate a multifaction newbie.

Ok ill play. Might need to clarify I have the right version and stuff, pretty sure I do. Is it smacx?

[t_ras]

I was thinking of tow factions each in each game, but now that I think of it we better have AIs...

I need a walk through on how this works as well, im unfamiliar  with this type of setup. If I manage I'll probably go as drones or university.

@JarlWolf: this is a briefing on how PBEM works.

if you need further info, please let us know.

We have 3 players for now, I think we'd rather have 4.
I'll begin building the scenarios any way (it will take me about a week), if we don't have four by them, you'll be three players.

[SgtSlick]

I think 4 players would be good. How about like a four corners type map. Like 4 islands and in the middle a monsoon jungle archipelago type thing with extra resources. Just an idea anyway. I'd prefer no AI's but up to u.

you mean the vet's map?

[Rainbow Lizard]

Wait, is it SMACX? I cannot do that. Sorry.

[sisko]

i don't think playing SMAC (without the expanssion) will be a problem for the others.

[t_ras]

We'll make it SMAC.
regarding the map...well...let me surprise you...

[lorddragonhat]

Eager to start! Are we choosing our own faction/s? Or are they being given on random?
