Random Scenario Scramble! 2v2v2

STATUS: CLOSED
Send a PM to me if you would like to play in this game.

The goal for this game is to have pre-made alliances that will last the entire game. I am hoping this will increase the odds of a more balanced game. I am also going to reduce the tech modifier from 500% to 300% so that more of the tech tree may be exposed.

Additional Scramble Rules:
Individual empires may not surrender. Both empires on a team must surrender together and on the same or consecutive turns.

Player Requirements:
If you cannot play your turn within 8-12 hours of receiving it, this game isnt for you. Occasional absences are OK provided all players are notified on the discussion boards or e-mail.

THE LATEST VERSION OF THE GAME (1.20) IS REQUIRED.

[all5n]

One Spot Left.

[all5n]

Bump!  Still need one more player.

[all5n]

One Spot Left Still, come on someone hook us up so we can start.

[jreid]

I'll play. I learned quite a bit in Steel Age1, so should be better in this one.

[seille]

Ok, who will start and who are the allies ?
 
Player 1 and 2 a team, then 3 and 4, 5 and 6 ?

[all5n]

I am thinking:
 
Team A:  Seille, Tac2
Team B:  Arditi, Mavnb
Team C:  All5n, Jreid
 
Does anyone have serious objections to this?

[seille]

Ok with me, but i fear bad starting positions for one or two teams can become a problem.
The teams who start as direct neighbours may have a bigger advantage
over the teams starting in upper right and lower left corner. But we´ll see this in the new game.

[all5n]

ok if there are no objections, then i will start the game up this evening.
