Remember to unbind the Symbiots!
And to set difficulty to Easy!
And to choose traits according to house rules point system!
And to declare war on the first turn!

I don't think you really need Zorgn's email anyway. Just the next person's in line.

Eh, ok. You can skip the war bit. But do the rest.




Unless you really want to declare a war...

This house trait shit is confusin' me, eh. Are we playing with or without house traits?

House Traits, balanced for Nova.  They add a little personality to the rulers, but can be unbalancing if not properly regulated.
Look it up, decide if you need/want any positive traits, and then choose equal value of the negative ones.
And if there are two numbers by the trait, use those in brackets.
So if you'd like  Battlemaster [+4], then you'd have to choose at least 4 points of negative traits(e.g. despotism). Really, no rocket science.
Just disregard the "ancient documentation" ones, as we start without labs, so it's a waste of points.

Unless you don't want to use traits yourself, then simply skip the trait choosing part.

Remember to set all players' difficulty levels to "Easy", otherwise it won't work.(in Nova difficulty doesn't affect anything in game, apart from the traits bit)

Please tell me you didn't chose battlemaster.  That is useless in this mod.  EDIT: Maybe?

By the way, this is my first PBEM EFS, how do we load the save?

EDIT: Oh, the email contains instructions.  Dump in sav folder and load, seems simple enough.  Choosing traits now, then planning everyone's doom fleeing from Earth with my tail between my legs.

No, I didn't choose battlemaster. At least, I don't think I did.

Also, Euchre, this is my first one too, as are the others probably. Include the instructions I sent you in your email to the next person in line, so we don't get any hold-ups, 'ye know.

No problem.  Maybe battlemaster works in this mod, maybe it does not.  Depends on how the replacement of clergy for nobles works.

Ok, I'm going to need Glacies email to send the turn.

EDIT: If I don't discover Glacies email in an hour, I'll send it to x2yzh9 to be forwarded.  But it is better if we set up the circle of emails now.

And News From The Front:
Today, in humanity's greatest hour, a brave settler unit in Australia sacrificed his life to destroy a Sanctuary Aeon farm, so it could not be used by the vile Symbiotes.

Traitor! You shoud've fought with all your settlers' might against the symbiot scourge!

Euchre(or x2yzh9), do you mind posting the galaxy map for easy planning and plotting?
Pressing tilda+alt, iirc, saves a screenshot in the game folder(in pcx format).

It'd be great to have this map in the OP.

As for battlemasters, I believe this trait works just fine. It's my first go at EfE, but considering the scenario description, it seems that the bishops are nobles for all intents and purposes, with modified attack type and icon.
