TCP/IP Alpha Centauri Alien Crossfire on Gameranger.
« on: February 19, 2011, 05:35:55 pm »

Anyone interested in an Alpha Centauri game over TCP IP, here's the setup.

Setup:SMACX Version 2.0 with unofficial patch.
http://www.weplayciv.com/forums/showthread.php?1873-From-installation-to-tcp-ip-games-SMAC%28X%29-Hamachi-and-you

GAME RULES:

1 A player is not permitted to establish contact with another player prior to having met them in-game.
2 A player may not use build queue manipulation or other loopholes to hurry production at a cost that would be lower than directly hurrying the item that one intends to build.
3 A player may not use build queue manipulation or other loopholes to build something you could not directly add to the build queue.
4 A player may not upgrade a particular type of unit using the design workshop, and then attack with that unit in the same turn.
5 A player is not permitted to make more than one social engineering change per line, per turn. For instance, one is not permitted to start the turn in wealth, switch to power mid-turn for the extra disbanded minerals, and then switch back to wealth that same turn, getting the refund.
6 Stockpiling in build queue allowed when building units. (of course when building sp/facility too, but it's not needed to do anything to gain those bonuses too)
7 Upgrading crawlers before adding them to hurry secret project NOT allowed.
8 Reverse-engineering allowed.
9 Exchanging bases with AI forbidden.
10 Additional move after former build something and his flag is gray allowed.

This thread is also posted on the AC forums.  If you have any questions about setting up, feel free to ask.

Waiting for full 7 player game. Original faction leaders on SMACX. Those who are willing and able to wait for the full 7, sign in.

Will be playing somewhere in the range of GMT 8pm-5am timezone. Will be playing on weekends. Exact times are negotiable.

I'm making the conditions for the game easier then, since no one is replying.  Co-Op game, me and one other.  No Rules.

Nobody wants to play, weird... I would like to. But it all depends on time. Which GMT are you in and what is the preferrable time?

P.S. Oh wait I see... I am GMT + 3... It means that you want to start at 23:00 for me? Well, it could work tomorrow.

Hello Deon.  Running version 2.0 SMAX with unofficial patch.  I have a game setup for tomorrow, already, with two others.  If you can attend at the posted time, (20:00 GMT.)  That would be fantastic.

We're currently trying to get GameRanger working, but we might swap out for Hamachi if it doesnt.

The game starts in half an hour.  We're using Hamachi.  Follow the link in my previous post for instructions if you're interested.

Hey, I'm online. Do you have ICQ, skype or steam?

P.S. Nevermind, I will use hamachi chat.

Got up to mission year 2160 or so if I recal correctly.  We've raced for some secret projects and had some disputes, but no major wars to mention so far.

I won't EVER show what I did during this game. Even the fact that I didn't play it for 4-5 years cannot redeem me :D.

But at lest now I know how NOT to play it :P. I wonder how did I get in top 3, I was ready to be obliterated by AI.
Transcend difficulty is not my plate of soup (but it was fun to be unable to grow past 2 pop without special actions :P).

It's a shame you didnt start next to another human player.  It's quite fun arguing over trifling border details with Bdanv when it's your turn.

Yeah, the fact that I am away on a little island makes it really slow-paced and uninteresting :(. I would like ANY interaction.

Anyone else who is interested in joining up, you can swap in as one of the 4 AI players, and if we get enough new players we can start a new game from scratch instead.

If you need any assistance getting setup, feel free to ask.  Yes, please ask for assistance with vindiction.

There is no dedicated server, it's hosted locally on one of the players machine when we're playing, and you join through their IP address when they begin hosting the game.  Times of games are organized on the forums through GMT and players link through hamachi.
