We've all done it at least once, set up a game with 5000 racial points and other settings just to kick the crap out of the AI. But how well would you fare against other human players that have done the same thing?

Maximum units: 20000
Maximum ships: 20000

Could we have the Talisman Banned, too? Also, what about population trading?

What is wrong with the Talisman. I plan on using missiles. And pop trading, why not lol.

Pop trading is fine. I have no problem with the talisman but I'll put it to vote when we get all eight players.

BTW - My race pics are from the Spelunker race in David Gervais's Miner Mod. Apparently, not on the drop-down list.

First turn is away! If there are any problems either contact me by e-mail or here.

Good luck and I hope everyone has a good time!

Because it is very gamey and annoying.

True, but this is a game where 'gamey' is not only acceptable it's kinda expected!

Douglas, like I said, once we get enough players we'll put it up for a vote and see how it comes out, I'm easy to get along with.

Yes, a bit gamey. But hard to stop/control. I have a theory about setting up guidlines that can't be "monitored". So, if one said no pop-trading, and you found a planet that had pop of one empire on a planet of another, how could you said someone violated the pop-trading rule if you can't prove they didn't capture a planet and transfer pop?

I wish there were more controls for setting up a game

so that checking a box stopped it and not depending on players to.
