Okay, I will try to find some answers to our 'problems'.
First, bases. I would say most factions have two. (Choose your names from the game) Maybe explore factions have 3. Tech. I would say most factions have 2 including their starting tech. maybe Discover factions (like me) have 3. Maybe the tech thing should be 3 and 4. The believers might only have their starting tech.
I personnally think that RPing can't all be in one thread. It would be WAAAY too confusing. It isn't too confusing now as it is. You just have to concentrate. We might have to have a few guidelines though, which we should vote on.
1. You have to follow the basics of the game. That is, techs in certain order, atrocities, etc.
2. Noone can complete the game. You can conquer the world, but it won't finish it. You can't corner the global trade market, you can't be voted in Supreme Leader (no Planetary Governor, either I believe), and you cannot ascend to transcendence.
3. No power-gaming. You can't suddenly have 38 military units destroying city after city when you yourself only have 3 cities.
4. Play Fair.
Can't think of anymore. Please comment.

I'd say we start in the year 2022. And the SMACX factions are all included. I agree that we start with only meager techs and work
our wy up.

arg. This is not too good. Too much tech everywhere. Hmmm, oh well, could we make it a itsy-bitsy slower.
