I just started a T4 PBEM game for the first time, in preparation I started playing a lot more T4 than I ever have. I really like the 1 army start where you have a unit of recon air and artillery.
I am having really terrible luck discovering Bazooka in all my T4 games, the same way I have bad luck ...

game filled and started
I have an 8 player T3 map and a 7(8) player T4 map I am more than willing to share to save you time on generation should anyone be interested. Map notes available for hosts.

need emergency fill if possible, normal start. send PM. thank you.

I had to throw away a bunch of maps due to intense radiation starts. This planet failed to generate metals for player 3, so I'm planning to resign the position and run with 7 players. Last chance to take a difficult start!

1 Army, city state start. Needs Republica and possibly Oceania if I use the Unclassified planet template. Send me a PM!

I figure if you are checking the Matrix forums about SE you can probably (hopefully) remember to do your rounds. New PBEM players welcome, just expect this game to run a very long ...

I'm enthusiastically in support of more color saturation.
"How will the audience know they're in Mexico?"
"The sepia filter."

When you activate the GR Hidden Tech feat for Democracy, a new and different GR Tech window appears in the bottom right of the tech screen.

That's one of the Democracy feat Hidden GR techs

I don't see an "Opponents wanted" section that is usually present for other games.

Where do people usually find opponents for PBEM?


There is a Discord that people use, I don't use Discord however. I think there's a link to it on the Shadow Empire reddit.

However, after a little over a year ...

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.

Ok will try out, thanks.

Update: Unclassified generates exactly the planets I ...

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 ...

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.
