Good luck. Post the savegame file when you're done, but I don't expect that people will still remember SEIV when you're done. |

Re: Proportions Question
 Thanks Deccan.
I've just had a thought- is there anything (I mean, you know, apart from the mind-bogglingly crippling costs involved) to prevent me from using worldships to carry the ringworld components? That way I could use my homeworld spaceyards to get them built quicker. (although I'd have to pay maintenance on them while they crawled to their destination) |

Not that I can think of. Makes good sense, if you can afford it. You probably have lots of remote mining going on?
How many homeworlds did you start with?
What starting tech level and research cost setting did you set for the game, and what turn is it?

Re: Proportions Question
Oh, I thought he was going to fill it up with CCs too. Drat. C'mon, Dogscoff, just 1 CC is no fun. Go for the gold man. Why not make it a sphereworld for good measure?

Low-tech, not sure about tech cost- probably medium. As for turn number... I'd have to go home and check. Probably 300 or so.

You're 'avin a laugh. As it is I'm probably looking at another 300 - 500 turns of not much. |
