Higher initial population (>1 Billion before apocalypse) will cause more and larger ruin fields to generate and this will be the basis for scavenger %. Survival Stress and Severe Violence starting options help weigh more towards raiders. Zero Alien Tissue Nutrition will stop hunters from taking up ...

Unclassified planet from Oceania DLC, aim for ~15C temperature and 20-30% Ocean which will typically disable MTH from being created too. Key to deserts is usually mountain ranges blocking rain or vast inland areas.

Incredible work on the Republica system, I was blown away reading the manual

AI art is a complete non-issue for a one man operation making a hex based strategy game, and an overblown one in most other contexts.

Having spent hours genning maps for PBEM and throwing plenty away:

1. I am not smart enough to tell you how, but it's likely possible to influence planet gen variables with Dnspy. Don't quote me on this.

2. Yes, but it's also possible to end up with radiation areas without any explicit meltdown ...

Yes, but I aim to generate no MTHs. Oceania is capable of making some really beautiful maps in a way the base game templates tend not to. So far, I have failed to create my dream map of having an inland sea capable sustaining an MTH while letting the player choose if they want to settle next to it ...

Hello!

I've been at this since Oceania and have been hosting PBEM games for just over a year. We are about to give a 6 player game a shot. I've had several thoughts on the subject of Covert Ops especially as we approach Round 100 in our ongoing 4 player game. We are all very excited about ...

Send me an email and I can try to find you players. I am in three games right now and probably wouldn't take on another one, but I have a bunch of other players who may feel differently.

During a discussion about a PBEM game, I had mentioned how much I liked Quad Mech MGs and someone else pointed out that Side Skirts did not apply to them which made them more vulnerable to infantry than he thought they should be. This made me look into APCs and realized that they also lack Side ...

Eqonum Terranus it is.

We have enough players! Planets have been sent out for consideration. Start will be T3 City-state Militia, 1 council, complete fog of war, normal speed, regular difficulty. Epochs and modules on. Players range from brand new to very experienced.

Still looking for one more player, don't be shy. All experience levels welcome.

I did not receive any email, sorry. Sometimes I get carried away with deleting them & may have missed it, again sorry.
Per highlights...some good, & many bad. :) The current game I am in is, really, getting interesting due to the diplomatic aspects/gymnastics of what the game offers.
Mostly, I am ...

seich_23, thank you for your interest. yes I still need players, but I can't reply to your PM yet. Send me a mail: sepbem at tutamail dot com
edit: was able to reply after making my 5th post

Sent you an email. 17 games is a lot. Any highlights?

I thought I'd try to organize a game here on the forum. Any interest? I am very open to playing Oceania but almost any starting conditions are fine.
Or should we sit and wait for Republica?

Hello! I've been playing Shadow Empire for about two years and I am about to host my very first PBEM, ever, in anything. I am a huge fan of the game and very excited to play against other players who are also new to MP in SE. Between the guide here on fair map generation and pre-game discussion, I ...

Thank you for this guide, it helped me a lot.
