Keeping factories equal with population is probably more important than research.

Obviously your game will be different then the other one (although I do not know how much different) but that might not be true.

Look at say 10000p. You can invest in factories for a income of 1000 per turn. Or if you use it to research you have a relatively good chance to get a T1 production upgrade. In the other game that was 5%... Or 2500 per turn.

Right I think I understand this...

So yeah I will stay in the game, if anything it usually takes me a few trys to get things right after that I am good...

Can we do a regen of the map please???

[Happerry]

Right, sorry for shutting up. Got hit by class and a group project and forgot to check up on this. I really don't want to, but I just got hit by some stuff, and I don't think I have time to play. I hope to catch this next time, but I don't have the time to join something new for the next month, it suddenly looks like. My apologies.

[Nirur Torir]

I'll wait 24 hours to see if we get a sixth player, then, as I prefer hexagons to pentagons.

[Vanigo]

The current maps are terrible. I have a better solution. It turns this:

Code: [Select]

<map>
<system id="1" x="5" y="5" owner="Al" color="0xFF0000" size="10" env="150" quality="100" pop="5000" mfg="5000"/>
<system id="2" x="10" y="15" owner="Bob" color="0x0000FF" size="10" env="150" quality="100" pop="5000" mfg="5000"/>
</map>into this:

Just need to decide how to distribute it. Any suggestions?

[Criptfeind]

Maybe something like this for distribution.

Reading Rules, May or may not join.

Where are you guys getting the traits? Do you just make them up, or is there a list that i'm missing?

[Nirur Torir]

Here's the trait list:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Population growth (Total will be 4%, 4.5%, 5%, 5.5%, or 6%)
Production
Taxation
Terraforming
Spaceship Attack
Spaceship HP
Spaceship Defense
Small crafts attack
Defensive structure cost
Land Attack (excluding bombardment)
Land Defense
Industrial Expansion (i.e. Manufactory production)
Loyalty recovery
Large structures and Special Projects (e.g. Death stars)
Trade and Selling production
Investment (Buying production)
Research

Each point is 10% bonus or penalty.


I think Vanigo means a way to display information, not how to cripple himself. I don't have any better ideas then several maps or a tacky .gif.

[ragnarok97071]

Right then, I think I'll bring back the Mordorian Empire from the Countries at War game.

Working...

Spoiler: The Mordorian Empire (click to show/hide)

Name - The Mordorian Empire
Ruler - Dark Lord Sauron
Traits
Positive:
+2 Large Projects (They built a goddamn MOON MOUNTED RAILGUN. They know a bit about large-scale constructions.)
+2 Loyalty (They don't really give a damn as long as there's someone to fight)
+1 Small Craft Attack (They tend to overwhelm the enemy with a huge mass of ships, if they can't just wipe them all out with one giant gun)
+2 Research (They built a Moon-cannon while other guys were figuring out how to get to space.)
Negative:
-1 Space Ship Defence (Due to Orks being expendable, they don't really design the defenses of their ships very well)
-2 Land Defence (Again, Orks are expendable, so they don't tend to last very long.)

Custom Ship Names:
TBD

Preferred Environment:
Scorched Wasteland

I think Vanigo means a way to display information, not how to cripple himself. I don't have any better ideas then several maps or a tacky .gif.

Uh, I have a better idea. The program I made will display maps showing ownership and planet numbers, and when you click on a planet it gives you that planet's details. Much better than scrolling between six or seven different maps.

[Nirur Torir]

Ah, you did mean like that. I thought you meant a way to show the information in pictures in the thread itself, from your program.

Edit: Oh, that sort of distribute. I'll test Dropbox for normal files. <Test successful>

I think there's a way to link files with drop box, so that changes in mine would register with everyone.

Edit 3: Apparently so. If your program parses a text file, I could change the master file for turns, then post the the text in code tags for those who don't like that sort of thing.

[Vanigo]

Okay, I've got the relevant files on Dropbox. I'll need your e-mail address to share the folder with you. PM it to me, okay?
Edit: Oh, or I could just use the public folder.

If you want a map size other than 20x20, I can change that easily enough.

[Nirur Torir]

That should work perfectly, thanks.

Are there any objections to switching to that?

[Criptfeind]

Well, I am not exactly computer literate, so I will almost certainly need help for a bit, but other then that I think it is a grand idea.
