I just created 6 races with the United Floral AI.

[Dralasite]

I think you'll win. Did you lower your defense since they'll likely have talismans by the time you meet?

[Raging Deadstar]

At least you never put team mode on! 6 United Flora AI's against you, that would be what we call guaranteed failure!

[Gryphin]

Hmm, Team Mode, RD I think you have a point. At least they will bedistracted fighting with each other. Since they are good expanders it is unlikely I will reach MEE.

Uh Oh, Dralasite, My Bad, that is going to hurt. Think I should start over. Hmm, Starting over maybe I should use MBs latest Tesselate AI for 1/2 of them.

I will be playing by
"The Gryphihn Convention" which stipulates:
No Weapons of Mass Destruction
No Deliberate glassing of planets
No Treaties with the AI
no Ship Capture, (sorta moot in this case because the UF guard against that)
No use of Mines
Planets must be invaded.
No use of Intell. Not even Counter Intel. I may make an exception if I start getting hit by more than one AI at a time.
No trading of Tech
No Accepting of Surrender

I predict an easy victory for the Gryphin.

- If you hasn't changed planettype or atmosphere for some of them they just gonna hate each other from the start and not have time for you.

- Computer Player Dificulty – Medium . With only a low bonus there is really no use to hamper the poor AI more.

Yeah, I was going to mention you should use 1/2 new tessellate, but you got wise before I could interject

If you want an AI that will use intel against you and be competitive, I suggest one copy of the Fazrah (new Version out by Blade). If you want and AI that will use capture and expand well, maybe add one Space Viking.

I had considered doing just this sort of thing myself at one point. I'm too busy attempting to make my own AI that will hang with those AI's above. When my AI is done, maybe I set it up to fail in a universe similar to the one you created for yourself.

In summary, looks like fun to me

[Gryphin]

I think everyone is right except for the easy victory part. I am not that good of a player.

3 Latest MB Tessellate AI
3 UF AI

Any body want to set starting positions?

I'm open to adding 1 human player but:
sometimes I go a 9 days without a turn
and
You must abide by the Gryphin Convention
And
Subscribe to the concept that you can have as much Phun loosing as winning.
