Default [NEW PBW] Master of Orion 4

You are Overlord of your domain. The planets populace worship you as a god. Crime has been eliminated, work is plentiful, disease is unheard of and money is no longer needed in your utopia. Suddenly the skys around your planet grow dark, storms light up the sky and the earth trembles. Your people grow afraid and look to you to solve the problem. A screaming like no other fills the planet, seeming to be everywhere at once, it almost makes you believe the tales of the banshee wail of 'Bhritny Spirs' the Death Goddess. Your scientists work feverishly to understand the screaming, if indeed it is a communication from above or below. Then as sudden as it started it stops, the night sky clears and you see strange stars and constellations above you. The universe is no longer a friendly place. But your scientists have translated the wailing :

"I come from Beyond! You have been selected to do battle in this realm with others of your kind. Beings of this small dimension. Survive and wonders of your wildest dreams shall be yours, or fail and your names shall be as dust to the solar winds. Out there also is the planet of the Ancients : Orion. A marvellous world of metal and machinery. This may be the key to your victory. Go now, time grows short"

Your people tremble but are stout of heart. This world and its wonders will be yours and your enemies shall be trampled beneath the feet of your armies!

This is a pure vanilla SE4 Gold 1.91+TDM Modpack game. 10 Players plus some AI's of the very annoying kind. There is a SPHEREWORLD out there somewhere (Orion!), as is a Ringworld hidden as well. The universe is not as you know it, systems may not behave as they usually do. You have been warned. Alliances and roleplay are welcomed. The Sphereworld is not a requirement for winning, just a help/hinderance along the way. The Sphereworld is ROCK/OXY, the ringworld will be of "random" type but the map will be of 'equal' other planets.

Max : 10 human players.

Starting resources: 100000
Starting planets: 1
Home planet value: Good
Score display: Own
Technology level: Low
Racial points: 2000

Maximum units: Max allowed
Maximum ships: Max allowed
Computer players: 10 max
Computer difficulty: High
Computer player bonus: None

Other game settings: No Intel, surrender not allowed, Tech trade disabled, NO TRADES WITH AIs

PLEASE NOTE WHICH SHIPSET YOU ARE USING, DUPE'S WILL NOT BE ALLOWED. TURNS WILL BE 48HRS, THOSE WHO MISS 4 TURNS IN A ROW WITHOUT DUE NOTICE WILL BE KICKED, AS WILL ANYONE WHO 'CHEATS' (PRE-GAME ALLIANCES ETC.) NO TRADE ARE ALLOWED WITH THE AI'S. The AI are too stupid to understand the value of a good trade, so don't do it. All players are invited to write down their race's description, and stick to it.

This game was first created and run by Deathstalker under the 'Return to Orion' name. It was huge fun despite the beating we endured by the hand of EvilRich, MOO3 was a newbye game won by Garet_s and Randallw.

The fate of MOO4 is up to you !

Sorry, but a 20 players game is way too crowded for me.

Not a problem! No hurt feelings here at all (and I hope I didn't come across amiss, I really didn;t mean to)...I really just wanted to make sure that people knew about both games, since they are similar.

In fact, Zeta Quad game is gonna start ASAP/tonight, even though it only has 17 players, since I've waited long enough.

Have fun with your game...

Maybe later we can exchange notes on how they went. I intend for this game to be the first in a series of "find the ancients" type games with a storyline similar to MOO's...so maybe we can learn from each others games to improve future ones...

thanks, and have fun!

Alarik
