New game on PBW - "20 Players, 24 Hours"

Geo - Count me in. This is just my type of game: small in area but with lots of action. I'm looking forward to playing.

I'll give it a shot as well. I can keep up with the 24 hours with no problems. I'll just be one of the first players to be out of it is all.

But I will give it my best.

Yay. People are joining.

So, I was thinking about this some more. Trying to make it more attractive to people so I can get 20.

I like the idea of 20 empires on a small map cause it shold cause a lot of "interaction"

But this could make you very suceptible to a bad start. If you are unlucky enough to get no correct atmosphere, or even no correct type planets in your home system, you are going to be at a severe disadvantage to the players that get a nice juicy planet or two to colonize. This is true in every game, but maybe this format would make it even more so.

So I was thinking, what if we made it so you had all three colony techs from the start of the game? Would that smooth out things so no one was totally crippled? There would still be some with more planets than others, but at least then you shouldn't have anybody with only their homeworld to work with.

What about 10 home planets together with all three colony techs

?

It is a nice idea though too bad that I do not find the time every day.

I'm in! Settings are insignificant for me.

Ragnarok, don't be so pessimistic. I'm sure you're much more experienced player than me (look at the post count!) so at least you're likely not the first one out

Good settings except for the small galaxy.

I prefer large ones, when you have room to develop and where combat is quickly a high tech thing.

When I have my destroyer firing its DUC level5 to its foe, I feel like a neanderthal throwing his stone axe toward his enemy.

I'll wait till you set up the same game with a large galaxy.
