How many turns before the victory conditions apply? I don't think you listed it, so should we assume the victory conditions are available immediately?

Assume you have a 1kg squirrel
E=mc^2
E=1kg(3x10^8m/s)^2=9x10^16J
which, if I'm not mistaken, is equivilent to roughly a 50 megaton nuclear bomb.
Fear the squirrel.

I think we should play a few turns and see how long it is really going to take to reach a significant % level (60, 85, whatever)

If its going to take >200 turns to even hit 60% then i think u should consider lowering it

i will probably put a 1 year timer on there just incase someone gets off to a lucky start with the score. i usually only put timers on games where 'peace' is an option for victory, so I initially left it off of this one.

I have a game that is about 65 turns in, and the player leading the tech race has 120 levels, and thats all through research. at 4-5 tech levels per colony, it will take you arround 60 colonies to hit 60%. anyone know how long it takes to get 60 colonies on a medium cluster map with 'only colonize own type' enabled?

I will try running a one player test game on the quadrant type to be used, and see how long it takes to do. I intend to generate the map by editing the ruins probability on the cluster quadrant and generating it randomly from that, so if inquiring minds want to know, that is how I plan on getting a fair (unknown to me) random map for the game.

OK, so I'm in the game.
Do we have to modify our files somehow in order to play? Spefically askking about the no research thing, as I couldn't find out how to do that without removing Research Center fom the facility list (so I could practice).

I was about to say to deselect Applied Research in the Technology window of a new game, but it is conspicuously absent from the list.

That's because of this:

"Name := Applied Research
Group := Applied Science
Description := The capability of an empire to research new technologies.
Maximum Level := 3
Level Cost := 100000
Start Level := 1
Raise Level := 0
Racial Area := 0
Unique Area := 0
Can Be Removed := False
Number of Tech Req := 0"

Ah. That would explain that.... Thanks for the enlightenment, Phoenix-D!
