One of the Furballs did something like this, too. There was one system per player, each system had a one-way warp-point into a central system (that had the Movement-towards-center ability of 12). The central system then had one-way warp points back to all the homesystems.

It was mayhem.

Interesting concept there, One system, 20 players. (I think a system like this would be too over packed with planets.) But how about a one sys/per/player game. Each player is given their own system and the only way to expand is to go to war. (or make aliences, or share space with a species that has a different home planet type than you, etc) It would also be nice if the warp-point connections could be random.

hmmm, interesting thought. Nuf said.

Cheers!

I've deleted the game from PBW and will join the next Furball game instead.

No need to re-invent the wheel.

I was looking forward to your take on the wheel. These games are so fast (and fun) to play, I think there's room for more than one!

Therefore I'd suggest using the PvK Balance mod...

Nope, no mods.

What will be important are aggression, defensivness and construction rate, I'd guess. All else will propably not have time to play any major significance.

Heh. So even more so than usually in unmodded games, it will make little sense to do anything but max these out - they'll be even more underpriced than ever.

Yep, and everyone would know it, so it wouldn't be an issue.
