Would you start a new PBW game now ...

[Arkcon]

I've never hosted a PBW game before, but the recent influx of new gamers to the board have made me want to host one. Thing is, we're so close to SE5, I don't know if there'd be any interest. Or are we so close to SE5, maybe its far enough away.

By the way, does anyone know a way to control how many neutrals are generated, or at least find out how many there are for various settings? Its kind of an old premise I was working on.

I'd wait until the Deluxe patch is out before starting a game.

Yes, that is wise.

Yep, interested. Down to 5 games (from 15!), 2 of which are inactive, so I need a new fix. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif Waiting for the Deluxe patch likely isn't a consideration, since you'd be able to update the game without a lot of difficulty.

I was thinking along the lines of more players available to join with renewed interest in SE and influx of new lemons, er players.

A new game woudl be fine.....

I'd say 100% of the vote so boads well for PBW and SEIV games. Lets hope the momentum continues.

From Settings.txt:
