A request is out for a map ( since i am playing)

Small map 10 starting points... the rest is up to you.....

[Nodachi]

Tesco, you left out the no intel in your description on PBW. It's not that big a deal but some people (me http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/rolleyes.gif ) might have missed this thread and first saw the game on PBW.

Nodachi

[tesco samoa]

Thank you for noticing that.

[Nodachi]

Not a problem, my friend!

[tesco samoa]

[Wasabi]

I need to withdraw so I can change my empire name. I would like to be "Xnoxnill Collective", since somebody stole the Tylmai ship set out from under me. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif

[Wasabi]

[Wasabi]

Looks like everyone is ready. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/shock.gif Come on lets go I feel the itch too.

[tesco samoa]

The game starts tonight.

Good luck everyone on finishing 2nd http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

[Wasabi]

What makes you think you can even finish second? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif

[tesco samoa]

because you will finish at the most 3rd http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/shock.gif

[Gryphin]

Tesco I have sent the maps.
Please let me know if you get them.
Thanks
May the best alien win.

[tesco samoa]

The game has begun.

Wow what a start.

Crazy.

I think this going to be fun.

Good luck everyone.

[tesco samoa]

Oh YEa.

Any complaints or compliments about the map pass them on to gyphin.

I know asmuch about the map as you do.

[Wasabi]

Hey I got alot of AI errors from some of the shipsets when I started the game. Is there anything I can do about that?

WOW, you really think I can make it all the way to third?!? I sure hope so. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

[tesco samoa]

delete all the txt files from the non stock alien ship sets... some of them are not seiv gold style...that will clean them up

[Wasabi]

Nope, that didn't work. Any other ideas? I get the same errors for all the non stock races. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/confused.gif

[Trajan]

Gentlemen,

I still can't get this game to work on my office machine -- which is quite farbled up at the moment. So I will have to wait until I can get home to process my turns http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif

Anyhow...I look forward to getting my arse womped. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif

Cheers!
Trajan

[tesco samoa]

no problem that is why it is set at 3 days. Good luck...

[Hank]

It really is too bad that we cant save the state of a simul game so I can spend a 1/2 hour here and a 1/2 hour there on this... Guess I will just have to leave SEIV running all of the time with my turn 1/2 way completed.

[tesco samoa]

Send an email to Aaron. Asking him to change this.

Eventually he will get around to it or say that it is not going to happen.

I don't like it either.

[tesco samoa]

check each directory and make sure there are no *.txt files in them. You may have missed one.

Your running the patch right ??

[Trajan]

http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/shock.gif Holy cats! Talk about a close quarters map. I see a very short and bloody life for me. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Cheers!
Trajan

[tesco samoa]

if this one is sucessful I will start another one.

With only 100 planets !!!!!!!!!!!! SO you have to attack to expand.

And yes it is very busy. I know 5 races and it is only turn 1

[tesco samoa]

Replacement Player needed for Small Universe game.

The person would play the Draconian Empire

[tesco samoa]

Or we will start over since the first turn was not completed.

[Gryphin]

Tesco, what do I need to do. I have no memory of the map.

[tesco samoa]

nothing.

Game is back on.

[Wasabi]

I suggest in the next game that all alliances and trades be disallowed. With only 100 planets and no trades you would really have a chance to test your stratigic skills.

[tesco samoa]

Some updates for the non players of small universe.

Turn 4 and combat has begun.

I will not say who. but it can be read on the game forum at pbw.

I have also noticed some different strageties.

Which one will win in the end I do not know.

One person went colony.
2 people went base yards
2 people went ships

the others i do not know.

[tesco samoa]

Small universe needs a replacement player.

The empire in question is in the top 10 in scoring.
They have not lost any planets.

And the game is early...
