If you want, guys, I can create a scenario for you

In such a case yours is just to enjoy  and of course to choose a faction, map size and special rules( something to ban or not)

Faction Peacekeepers

Also what does Yitsi/scient refer to?

[Buster's Uncle]

They mod the .exe.  The reference is to their patches.

[Yitzi]

Even if he did spell my name wrong...

(Also, if you do use my patch, you probably should consider looking at the new options and seeing if there's anything you want to change.)

[Buster's Uncle]

Yitzi, why not talk a minute about the difference between the patches -kyrub's, too- for cam's sake?

[Yitzi]

Ok.  There are a number of official patches.  Building on top of that are three unofficial patches:
-Scient's patch fixes various bugs.  It is highly recommended you include at least that much.
-Kyrub's patch includes Scient's, and also makes the AI better, plus fixes some more bugs.
-My patch includes Kyrub's, and fixes even more bugs, plus it adds a whole lot of new options that can be modded via alphax.txt.  (I also am usually willing to provide suggestions about which mods to use if you want to change the game in a particular manner, though you should keep in mind that I'm not that experienced and any suggestions are purely based on what I think will be the result of various mods.)  My patch is still in beta testing, meaning that I hope I've eliminated all the bugs I accidentally added, but if you find a bug in my patch that isn't in Kyrub's, just post it and I'll work on fixing it.

[Green1]

Faction- Miriam
Patch- Yitzi's 2.2b. Min should be Kyrub's SMAX patch PLUS.
Map Size- Tiny or Small

I would like tech stag.

directed research

No ban on copters/ cloudbase academy.

All other options are open for whatever. I will also bend to consensus if my suggestions are disagreed with.

[Yitzi]

Faction- Miriam
Patch- Yitzi's 2.2b. Min should be Kyrub's SMAX patch PLUS.

2.3b has fewer bugs than 2.2b.

That was a typo. 2.3b.

thanks for catching that.

[cam91]

If we are playing on a small or tiny map I'll go the Spartans instead.

[luppolo]

i'd like yang, if someone else wants him i'll take a random faction
for rules i'd just like tech stag, no preferences on the rest

[Yitzi]

If we are playing on a small or tiny map I'll go the Spartans instead.

Yeah, Spartans are strong on small maps, since they're the only ones who can get all their units elite in the early game.
