Ideas for two new PBW games

[Gorgo]

Hi everyone,
I'm the latest one to join "War and diplomacy". Please notice that I use a non-default shipset.

Btw, I have TDM-modpack 1.75, couldn't find 1.72 anymore. I hope this won't be a problem, as there's no AI involved.

Hope we'll be able to start ASAP!

Isolation Breakout -
I just finished my most recent turn and noticed that the system/planet names had disappeared. My colony ships had orders like Colonize *blank* VII, Colonize *blank* IIA. Anybody else have this problem or is it just me?

Shoujo, it is a known problem and it is my fault. It appears that when I generated the map, my systemnames.txt file did not contain enough names for a galaxy this size...
odd though cause I had added names to it specifically to avoid this, and at first look it seemed I would have made up enough names. Oh well. You can still rename planets, the only annoying thing will be when your chokepoint system turns out to have no name and you have to negotiate with your neighbor about it.
I'm ancient race, and count about 10 systems in total in the IB game without names. (and more or less the same in "War & Diplomacy" ).

It's annoying, but I did not think it was serious enough to warrant a re-start.
Right?


EDIT: correction to that, I double checked and am not ancient race in the IB game. I have one unnamed system in my area. In the W&D game, which has slightly less systems it appears, I counted a total of 4 unnamed systems across the galaxy.

Ah I see. Haven't heard anyone else complain so it must not be much of a problem. I don't think a restart'll be necessary.
