TechMod Test game

[Phoenix-D]

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.

2k empire, tech cost low, aye

Thanks for the offer, I'll need it. The hard part is the ship sizes, I think- some of the races now get to capital ships right away, and they might get stuck on the 100kt Escorts for a bit.

Okay, I uploaded my empire. Let'go .
