Re: The neutral challenge
You guys should try what Henk Brouwer suggested in his post in this thread. I did things alittle differently...did a little Role Playing as to a disasterous even on my home world(nuclear war, accident, etc...).
So anyways when I began the game I built one colony ship and sent it out having ditched my homeworld(abandoned...). I settled the poorest planet in my system and went from there. Did a little more role playing stipulating that I couldn't colonize my original homeworld for at least 100 turns due to high radiation levels or somesuch...
Anyways it was quite fun. You start out with a MAJOR population deficit and lack of research and production...quite fun.
Being ever the resourceful one, however, I have since claimed 5th place out of 16 and am beating everybody I've contacted in resources and research so it's not all bad...
