Hiya!

I'm interested. I've not ever played a PBW game, and truth to tell I've not even finished an AI game. I think I've got the basics down so I might not be a total writeoff. I do travel a lot for work so I'll probably be missing a turn or two but I think I can handle that. I've got no real suggestions for rules or anything. I can deal with whatever.

Hmmmm sounds fun. Eh, why not just go and make it Devnull? Add Space Monsters as an AI and all the nifty new comps in Devnull make things pretty interesting... Devnull also includes an older Version of FQM.

A little bump.

And thanks to everyone for their suggestions.
I DL Devnull and am playing around with it, looks really cool.
Maybe for a third game?
Since this one is more aiming for newbies I think it's best to go with the stock game + FQM.

Let's hope some more players will sign up for this one

I haven't created the game yet, still waiting for some more players and deciding on the settings.
Probably by monday everything will be ready to receive empire files and more players will be interested.

Glad you decided to join Enigma!

Colliding Space Dreams is now accepting players!

For now there's room for 10 players, we can always add more later.

Remember that this game is on a large map so there will be plenty of room for empire building. Extensive diplomacy and roleplaying is encouraged.

Turns are set to full automatic every 36 hrs but this can be changed ofcourse.

Hi Guys:

I have been playing Dominions II for a while, and I decided to dust off my SEIV disk Last night. I need to bone up on how the game works before I join in, but please keep me in mind for future NOOB games.

Yes it's a strategic choice, but it's a very poor one. Intel in SEIV is weighted very heavily towards defense, and even projects that do get through don't have much of an effect for their cost IMO. You don't want to be caught without intel defense, but beyond that intel is largely useless. I'd rather just not have to bother with it.
