Anybody up for a game of stock SE4 at PBW?

Which one?

Checking PBW, I see PvK's Balance Mod v1.1, CivLand Light Mod v1.041, and Dark Nova 4 v4.22 are already set up for v1.94 (which is functionally equivalent to v1.95 to PBW). Any other balance mod would need to be installed on PBW first, which could delay starting the game.

Geo's Balanced System Mod v2.0 only needs to be on the map creator's computer, but I'd prefer not to use that. Exploring the map is one of my favorite parts of the game, and having every system contain the same mix of planets sounds dull. Besides, I need whatever benefits I can get from a lucky draw. :-)

Dark Nova isn't a balance mod, FYI. It adds quite a bit.

I dunno. I was just suggesting.

hmm maybe need to see how a couple of unstarted games pan out. one is winding. one gme is gaming but being dragged out by some players till just before timer times out, wouldn't be except its 84 hr turns. (ie manually uploads turn is last player, but doesn't upload next turn till just before next turn date)
as for back stabbing allies, I always assume the worst when comms go silent.

I havn't played any balance mods. Except by possible inclusion in other mods.

ToddT has indirectly brought up another consideration, turn duration. I'm content with 24hr turns, but some prefer 48-72hrs. I think the ideal is starting the game at 24, then increasing if needed as the game develops.

Whatever, I'm comfy with anything reasonable as far as turn length.

As far as games in progress, there's nothing open as far as new games that isn't 6 months old and manifestly dead.

And I flat refuse to replace someone else in a game in progress.

I just searched PBW's File Library SEIV Mods page for mods with the word "balance" in their description, then looked at the Create Game page to see what was already installed on PBW.

DN4 is actually the only mod I mentioned that I already have installed. I think it's coming out with a new version in the near future.
