Oh.. They are able to declare The Third Republic? What does it means, actually? Is it only the "cosmetic" declaration or it will have some effects?

From the game manual " ... (the League will) cease trading and wage war on all the Houses." It also lowers victory score by 30 %.

[Gollor]

Wow. Well, they do it anyway even without the declaration. I guess it was made specially to force players to end the game quicker.

Praise Zebulon! (no, not you, Zeb II) After years of intense study, we've finally figured how to fill out League paperwork, and can now hire temp workers!

Also, what the heck do I need to build engineers?

Turns out it's just Economy.

I was nearly done researching economy and then discovered it in ruins last turn. Almost as exciting as say, 100 trace.

House Hawkwood has commissioned the Architects Guild to create a new holding in the wastes of Pentateuch. We have paid the Church 10,000 firebirds for the privilege of building in the worst part of the planet. We have fired our Reeve lawyers.

I hate this feeling when you see another 4 symbiot warships jumping into your own system by the end of the turn!

[Il Palazzo]

Which planets are out of bounds for colonisation?

[Margrave]

I believe the consensus was Leagueheim, Terra and Shaduveen. Maybe the Vau Ambassador World too.

[Il Palazzo]

Can you put that info in the OP? It'd be nice to have a reminder easily accessible.

Don't bother with that fancy graphics, just add a note in plain text.

[Margrave]

Sure, when I get back from work I will sneak it in. I have an idea or two of other things to add as well.

[Il Palazzo]

What's up with sk?

I'd prefer we had a clear picture of whether he's able to continue playing or not, and preferably not just due to a sense of obligation.
It's only natural for RL to take over from such frivolous pastimes, but for the same reason the game needs to progress at a brisk pace, so that it may reach some kind of a conclusion before other players start developing similar symptoms.

yeah sorry, i'm not really keeping up.  if you're able to find another player i don't mind passing the save over...i'll try to keep up until then.

[Il Palazzo]

Sad to hear that, sk.

I'll PM joulupunnikki.

[joulupunikki]

Sad to hear that, sk.

I'll PM joulupunnikki.

Got the PM ... Well, I just might give it a try, but I have never played a PBEM before. As such, I won't be well versed in effective multiplayer strategies (although I have read Sun Tzu, among other things, and that and observation of PBEM games suggests you do not necessarily win with the mightiest military, but by annoying your opponents until they make foolish mistakes  ... and most of my solo games have been with Li-Halan, albeit with different mods ...)

also, no need to restart, I assume Li-Halan is not at a major advantage or disadvantage as a result of game events.

also, if sk should find the time to come back, that's fine by me, and this does not mean I'm gonna play with less intensity.
