Deadline for Races would be 15.08.24 and ststart 01.09.24.

Number of players:
I'd like to find room for everybody interested. However, extremely large games can get a little tedious.
So I'll limit the game to 12 players. As we have less active players I would start even with lesser players, but we will see.


Universe size:
Determined by the number of players. I'm aiming for about 30 planets per player and will choose the universe size accordingly.
The universe will be remaped to a ring, so each player has 1 other player to each side.

Game Settings:
All game settings will be left unmarked, with the exception of "Accelerated BBS Play" and "No Random events"
Universe size will be determined as described above.
Player positions are moved to fit in the ring universe.
Every player will vote for the skill level of the players. This number will give the position in the universe. It should prevent that a strong player overruns a weaker one and all loose the fun of the game.
I will give an example universe as far as I know how many players will be around.
By the remaping it will only be looked at the distance between players and the planets in 1 year and 2 year jump.
The planets will be random as normal in stars so it could be that you have 30% Germanium on the HW and no greens around (Except PP and IT).(Pray for the Hab God Smile)


Turns:
Daily gens until at least 2420. We will go down to 5 Turns a week by Players vote (1/3 of the player is enough to slow down).
After we run at least 10 years with 5 turns a week a new vote for 3 turns a weak can be made (vote of 50% needed).
Normally I don't want to slow more as it makes the game last for ever, but we can speak about it.
All player can ask 1 time for more time to remove 1 gen for 1 time until 2435,2470,2500, after this years you get 1 more. This is only the possibility to ask and it will be granded if the 3. party can handle it.
So if you say you wanna skip a turn 5 Minutes before the gen you can be lucky that the 3. Person is around, but it would be your problem if he can't do it in time.

Races:
All ok.

Diplomacy:
All player set everyone to enemies, at all time of the game. It is a 1 player victory. No tech trade allowed.
But speak with everyone is OK as this is hard to control and sometimes as funny as the game.

Conditions of victory:
The victor is declared if all active players vote for him or noone is left Razz

You should get one more after 2470 and one more after 2500.
Also, can you list all players already in?

Hi,

Will the uni look like as in the game "Going to hell", that has just finished?
And please send me the test universe. There are too many unknown parameters I have to deal with, when designing proper race for this set-up.

BR, Iztok

Hi!

Quote:
By the remaping it will only be looked at the distance between players and the planets in 1 year and 2 year jump.


Can you please be a bit more specific? I've been testing my races with assumption the uni will be dense or packed and opponents' HWs some 300 LY far. However reading your discord discussion on a similar game Going to Hell and afterwards looking at the animated GIF from that game, I'm sure these assumptions are wrong.

So please give me just one number. Either target star density, or target distance among neighbor's HWs, or (preferably) target diameter of the uni. TIA and

BR, Iztok

Shoot. Its only 7 days left. RL takes way to much space if you are not committed to current Stars! game.
PS. From GTH - space between my HW and two near were 440LY. It was "quite packed", at least at my side of map.

My Section of GTH.

HW to HW : 375ly, 27 planets between the two

HW to HW : 435lys, 38 planets between the two.

thickness of planet ring, 190lys

So that's 810lys by 190lys with 68 planets within.

I hope that helps

Hi!

Thank you both! Thumbs Up If the remapping will be done with similar parameters, then it's quite clear many of my designs aren't fitting. I'm actually down to 3, best described as "Boring sure bet", "Do I Feel Lucky?" and "2 hours per turn". Which one will it be? Confused2
