TechMod Test game

So far I like what I have seen in your mod Phoenix-D. I am working on a mod of my own and you have used many similar approaches to things. I think the reason people are not jumping to play test it, is that they are already overextended in current PBW games. I am in three and my brain would fry if I added another. If one ends and you are still looking for playtesters (for whichever current Version of your mod) I will let you know.

At this rate, I'll be at beta 10 before it fills up :P

In any case, it'll stay up until it's filled. Just keep checkin in.

OK, the game will use whatever Version is current as of the time it starts. Right now, that's Beta 3.

Phoenix-D,
we could start the test with just the two of us. Throw in some (stupid) AI and make it a small map. So you get some testing of the mod under field condition and also improve the AI while playing. Since it is just two players we could make turns pretty fast. Open another game for others to join with the current settings of the test game.
Just an idea.

Oops, I just saw that we are three now. So either scratch my idea completely or kick off the "fast test" with three players (plus AI to bully around

) on a small map.

Rollo- I'll start another "fast test" game, 2 player max with the AIs, and leave the existing one as the long test game. Sound good?

EDIT: It's up. Remember that this is my first time doing any AI stuff, so they're probably pretty stupid

Okay, sounds good. I have applied. Do I have to upload a 2k or 3k empire? I suggest to make the tech cost low, so we can try out the new stuff faster, but up to you.
Don't worry about the AI being stupid. If I notice something about it, I'll let you know. If you don't mind, I can help you a little with converting the AI for the mod. I am not very experienced in AI modding, but my first AI is mostly finished and I like to experiment. Maybe I can also make a new race for the techmod.
