Idea for a PBW game

[Arkcon]

"One True Faith's Burden" maybe. I like that name.

Setting up starting positions seems like it might be easy. But insuring an adjacent neutral, hmm, I don't know how to do that. Can you add neutrals? Didn't think so. I will putter around with the map maker tonight.

But I didn't want to lock the game into a pure neutral defence game. I want the player empires to attack one another. But then again, the two goals don't have to become mutually exclusive just because they're both out in the open like this.

Maybe the game ends with peace in XX years. The neutral AI's will insure wars break out. But you can work around this -- just beat your own neutral to submission and make him make peace with everyone else.

you should be able to add neutrals. say you are going to have 5 players. just add starting positions for players 6-10 right next to one of the human starting positions. disable random computer, enable random neutral. tweak your settings .txt to force a certain number of computer empires, and you should be good to go.

and in case any one missed the reference:
