You want to take over Deccans open spot after your empire is dead? That's a little irregular. But I'll allow it if noone else has any objections and noone else is interested in the open spot.

But let's just wait and see what happens first shall we? You may not be going anywhere just yet.

actually it is quite common. As players would rather play against a player than the computer. I have yet to see it abused... I offer it in my games... works good...

I just downloaded my Lastest turn in ankle-biters and ran into this problem for the first time(in ankle-biters). Before SE4 finished starting up there was a unknown value with the anti-ship warheads 1,2,3.
I looked in the data files in the ankle-biters mod and noticed the warheads weapon target was ships\sat only. I then looked in the main SE4 datd files. There it shows that the warheads can target ships,planets,drones etc. I've seen this before and fixed it with ease. I just want to make sure its ok before I mess with these files while playing on PBW. Thanks for the help

I am not really sure what you are looking at, but the Mine warheads can target "Ships\Planets\Ftr\Sat\Drone" in both the stock data files and the ankle biters mod files. You can't change teh mod data files or you are going to get errors like you did. It sounds like you've got a pre-1.84 components file there. Maybe pre-gold. I don't recall exactly when the ships/sats target type was removed from the game, but it was definetly before the anklebiters mod was set up.

Fellow Emporers. The Empire of the Narrewians has suffered numerous defeates in battle. Emperor Warren has been deposed and fled into exile and the remainder of his people are either dead or in servitude to others of you here.

Emperor Warren has been given asylum in the Deccan Empire. The Deccan people have been suffering for some time now without the guidance of an able leader. It is their desire to appoint Emperor Warren as the new regent in charge of the Deccan people.

Honarble sirs, does any among you have any objection to such a sequence of events taking place. Or should we require the Deccan Empire to remain leaderless in the hopes that some day another will step foward to claim the throne.

Sorry, I was in a silly mood tonight.

If anyone has an objection, let me know. You don't have to object publicly if you'd prefer to remain anonymous. If I don't hear from you though I will assuem you have no objection.

Slighlty OOC: A new leader might have arisen amongst the Deccans...if the galactic civilizations around don't assassinate him first...and if he is allowed to join as the Deccans, he would love to be filled in on the geostrategic situation (wars, etc...)

OOC: I'll play 'em...if y'all will let me...and fill mein on who's allied with whom, fighting whome, etc...(just don't tell my wife that I joined another game)

thanks,

Alarik
