First impression stays - I'd play as warmongering snails. [:)]

Somehow I prefer to play aggressive games with a sub-ideal species. Not sure what stats they get, but if I assume right that they have a 'declare fewest wars' condition, that makes galactic domination even more fun.

Though I'm adaptive enough to accept any setup that you guys might come up with.

Hehe this could be challenging and fun, their VC been readjusted in ALPHA.5 compared to .43:

-Have long lasting TA
-Make TA, Protectorates and MDPs with 35% of the galaxy
-Start fewer Wars
-Earn the most trade income in the galaxy

Also it is doable if we will use diplomacy to force and manipulate our allies to fight for us and then catch the time to invide in right moment.... and having secondary population (which also is common for Such-Oos) which is good and used to fight for them on the ground. Then we can use their troops instead of squishy snail micro-phaser soldiers which are tiniest and worst soldiers in the galaxy.
Also there is resource which allow to boost their troops with 15% of initial strength if mined exactly on the colony troops been recruited at. (bringing them closer, but still weaker than Atuuks)

Yes, I was expecting the Snail Master Species to have a hard time on their first invasion... and never attacking with their troops again. Any sane group of inferior races that has been gifted with the honor of belonging to the Mighty Sluggish Empire will be more than glad to give their lives for the Galactic Greater Good. I'm sure even the re-educated Keskudon will eventually realize that letting the Such use their talents on fields where their comparative merits can shine is for the betterment of all intelligent (and semi-intelligent) life in the Universe.

Ahh, I'm getting ahead of meself, the AAR phase will come a bit later. Ready on my end, waiting for others to join up.

Nice, i am glad we have chanllenging interesting setup.
All what needed to start is:
- Tcby confirming he is ready.
- Beyond ALPHA.5 Release is up (that will happen tomorrow)

We also gladly accept more participators.

Also - which complexity level , galaxy setting and age we should play ,considering all changed included in Beyond and presence of Icemania's AI mod in it?

So BEU will have AI improvement included? Great news.

About settings... dunno. Whatever.

To expand that: I only played a few games with Icemania's mod, and another few without that. So I'd leave choosing the setup to the more experienced. All the games I played were prewarp on 8x8 sectors and 700 stars. Not sure if I wanna play bigger, that's long enough as it is.

Other than that... In the AImod games I played pirates totally crippled all other empires - even with few/very weak setting. Currently I suspect it's because the prewarp start - too bad, I liked it. So I'm yet to find my prefered setup, whatever you can come up with will do.

We can go for ultimate challenge with pre-warp but i am not that good at playing pre-warps, so i will prefer not to start then.

Size you mentioned is about right.

nvm

Release is up.
I didnt finished Such-Oos leadership portofio chart , but thats only informtive feature, i will do it tomorrow, and we could manage without it because i know what they ae about

Well , not Tcby seems now active. We will need to wait for him, and perhaps someone joins as well....
It also have bright side - we will be playing with more character systems implemented.

I would love to join in on a succession game.
Settings and stuff I accept those who are choosen and try to roleplay after them.
Didn´t read properly (Bad) but saw something about video AAR.
By myself I happily do a text/image-based instead. Makes a much better story for me.
Easier to constuct the funny story when you see what has happend =)

Hello, indeed , image-story line is cool if it done detailed and in interesting way
Evan85 i need confirmation that we are ready.
Then once i release next update we could start.

Hey Evan85, you are here? seems we got 3 people. We can start once .6 is up, Tcby is off it seems ,but if he comes eventually he'll could hop in as well.
Confirm please that you are ready to start once .6 is released.

There is a possibility to be the 4th player??? I would like to play with...

Hawkeye

Sure! You are wellcome.
We could also accept some more players.

Rooster so far:

Tcby (he seems to be not active lately)

The setup was to play Warmongering Such-Oos. Warmongering peaceful race could be a challenge to play with. Version a.6 , once it up, and we'll put up more Dark alliance members, and fewer Light alliance members (allies) so will need to diplo-game towards creating some bons with neutral Red or Blue alliances.

What about this game??? The Version Alpha.6 is released so we could start or???

Ye, i am busy with A.61 but its time to revive this thread!
All we need to start is players confirming their readyness . If at least 3 players onfirm they are ready we start. For now 2 are active, so moe one we could work on startup!

Bump. Guys where r you? We need you come back active and more people joining this fame.

Heya blackstork

I had to disappear from distant worlds for a while - family dramas and ailing health. Ah, life. I was just looking at your mod today, trying to get my head around the changes that have taken place since I was last here. Your progress is amazing.

Thanks.
I am going to holiday soon and quite busy now.
I suggest we start this game after i return, if you are back.
Cheers

This thread hasn't been used for a long time but I really like the idea. People still up for it? [:'(]
