I'm greedily stealing Keboo's idea-ish. I've been getting back into EFS and figured out this new mod. Lot tougher, but funner, indeed! So I decided to play a PBEM game of it. We'll be doing it with Plague OFF, and universal warehouse OFF.

Get the game here
http://s235607088.onlinehome.us/whote/stuff/eofs.zip

You can find various notes and information on the game, as well as the Nova 2.3 patch that we use on this site: http://website.lineone.net/~rwein/nova/home.htm

Keep in mind we play by "house rules" found at: http://website.lineone.net/~rwein/nova/escape/escape.htm

About EFS:

EFS is a 4X strategy game, with two major phases, land and space.  The ultimate goal is to become emperor (or eliminate all of your enemy's nobles, which is by far the harder task).  There are five playable houses in all, and the game includes politics/diplomacy, research, city building, resource micromanagement, space travel, land/sea battle, and to a lesser extent, assassination.  The game includes an in game tutorial on most of the mechanics that is useful for new players. You'll need to PM me your email, and I"ll PM you mine as well.

House Li Halan: x2yzh9 (Lord Yuri Churikov)
House Hazat: EuchreJack (Sister Abigail)
House Decados: Mainiac
House Hawkwood: Zorgn (Lord Zorgn)
House al-Malik: Il Palazzo (Padre El Palacio)

Please join us!

This is what's happened up to this point:

Well sign-up then!

I have to actually play EFS, and that might be a little bit...difficult. I don't got time. I can watch though.

[x2yzh9]

EFS isn't too difficult, actually. I recommend you try the base game and then the EFE mod solo and tell me if it's still fairly difficult.

...Might play.

Difficult to win against pansy AI: No.

Difficult to play until completion, considering the mind-numbing micromanagement: Definitely.

[x2yzh9]

Well, correct me if I'm wrong, but this is B12, where fun is welcomed with open arms, if you get my drift.

I was mainly just explaining the problems SC might have with this game.

I'm actually interested in playing this mod, but have a few questions:
1) Windows 7 seems unable to install the version 4 update of EFS.  Assuming no workaround can be found, will this matter?
2) Will there be house traits?
3) Escape from Heaven mod suggests not using all the house rules, mainly it suggests allowing the looting of the ministries.  So, will all house rules need to be followed?

[quinnr]

I'll try to read the rules tonight...

1. As I said in the OP, no. EFE mod installs everything you need- Only install EFE, and EFE alone into your EFS directory.
2. I don't know what those are. Give me a link explaining them, please.
3. Yes, all house rules EXCEPT 2, 8, 20, 21, 9, & 30.

I may learn what is this game about and how to play it. Sure, I am very busy these days, but it looks like a great fun. If there's an open spot left, I may join. Just you wait .
