Looking for a new game

[Earthmichael]

Funbot,

If you are interested in a 1-v-1 game with me, I am up for that.  My preferred game is 2 faction vs 2 faction (no AI) on the balanced Vets map (where each of us takes 2 factions of our choice).  If you are interested, you get first choice of factions, and your factions go first.  My only restriciton is that you cannot take BOTH University and CyCon.

I can be talked into some other kind of 1-v-1 (with or without AI factions) if you do not like that format, but I do want to play on a balanced map.

Let me know if this interests you.  If you want more than 2 players, I am sure that some of the other players will be happy to join you, but I already have enough of the 4+ player games going myself.

Phew, playing 2 faction at same time? Idk, that seems so diffrent gamestyle i've used to play that i dont think i can get my head around with that lawl. And yeh, since im actually atm playing 1vs1 with friend of mine, i think i would want to have bit bigger game this time

[funbot]

Well anyway, heres my preferrences on any alpha game:

Map full random

on default 7 faction game standard size map

Transcend difficulty

all winning options

techstagnation

No spoils of war

No blind research

World map not visible and supply pods only at landing site

Aaand i prefer play as miriam, but i doubt theres much of competition there .

And as always, i always rdy to bend with my preferences

Hello funbot, guys, but you are still up to the 4-player game started in this topic, right? So we're waiting only for the fourth one?

yes yes, defnedly up for it ^_^

[Kirov]

Funbot, just I couple of days ago I was thinking that the Believers is actually the most mysterious faction to me, and I played them as much as I played the aliens (i.e. once). I'd love to see you play it and take some notes in the process! I wonder what is the best way to work around that research hit of theirs...

actually, Earthmichael is not interested in a 4 players game, so you're down to 2.

I'm joining; making it a 3 player game! 

Edit: But keep in mind that I'm only willing to play a game that has at most 3 human players.

[t_ras]

Well, in this case please all give me you preferences, so I can create a game.

[funbot]

Since we are just 3 players, i would also prefer having Ai with us.

--edit--

Oh yeh, and totally up for any rule modification that you guys wish. Though just forums-default-ingame-rules already makes sense enough for me.

whahaha, yeh, miriam is defnedly a high risk high reward faction . I just hope that I survive long enough in the hazardous world of alpha centauri so that i can give you guys atleast some degree of entertainment .

Great, so we have a game then, and t_ras will CMN it.

Welcome aboard, fellas!

As to house rules - I usually want to ban EG, but the more I read the discussion with Earthmichael and Yitzi, the more I'm concerned about air power. What do you say, guys? I'm thinking that CBA is too strong, let's maybe ban it or double its price, and I would have a house rule to either ban copters or forbid them attacking base tiles (I played with this setting and it worked ok). But the most important thing for me is to play, so if you're uncomfortable with any changes, I can go for vanilla SMAX, no problem.


Map size: medium or large?

Either way, I'm considering either Morgan or Lal, probably Morgan. Dolgorukov, any faction preferences?


It's great we can get this thing going!

I'd say ban CBA and allow copters but restrict them to not attack basetile. Map size i would prefer as standard, specificly if theres just three of us playing.

And EG.. for that i dont have really strong opinions atm so I leave it for you guys to decide

--editing for typo, too hungry to think straight lawl--

Well there's a reason why the Spartan Battle manual declares that Air power rests at the apex of the triad of victory... I say let's go Vanilla SMAX for the most part, except that copters are not allowed to be armed with weapons more powerful than "hand weapons."

As for AI, yes fill up the remaining spots with AI!
