Game discussion

[FGRaptor]

Just contacted you. Forum PMs are bad, since I never see them really.

[Dutchling]

Emm, I was gone for a few days and things seemed to have worked out so far.
We are doing a restart with the same history right? I just copied my empire to the new thread.
Is there anything else important I'm missing? I'll try to read the discussion so far though.

[ardem]

Dutchling: Need you to contact me via email, so I know which address is yours and to send you the link and password to your db.

[Dutchling]

Could you PM me your email? I can't find it anywhere.
And do we need to give our orders already?

I have just significiantly updated the Antarctic Harbour introduction post (and polished the first paragraph a bit).
I think this is especially interesting to Ardem, because it contains information about society, mentality and military training unique to Antarctica.
Basically, the new content starts after the picture of the Antarctic territories.

I'll get my stuff up later today, I also wanted to say that the Antarctic faction is a damn cool idea and I liked the write up.

For the NZDL location on the map, it's the states of Utah, Idaho, Arizona, eastern Washington & Oregon, northern California & Nevada, western Wyoming & Montana.

Thanks,

Map's posted, though you'll notice the lack of Shadowveil. I'll paint them next weekend when their introduction post is in (as I don't have access to my desktop during the week) as well as any other faction that joins. I told the forum to display it in a third of its original size so smaller resolutions don't go awry when viewing it. To see all the smaller islands and areas or point out any incorrect borders view the image directly in its full size.

Ill post further updates later when I get home but I think if noone has germany ill take that over

[ardem]

People have said there pictures and race image does not look right, well this is due to my map and race pack being different.

I will release them when we are all ready to start.

I have created an c:\aurora4 folder and copied all my data files into that so it seperate from my other games and can launch it at a moments notice so if you do not wish to disturb you current map\race\planet details then feel free to do the same.

Wow what a first turn it took 4 hours to complete, lets hope in future its a bit easier. Queued research for a year is nice, please make sure you do this. Although research that relies on other research is a pain <smile>

Each turn was 5 day increments.

Also when everyone has there plans submitted I will make a go of it, even if it before deadline date, if you have last minutes changes that is fine, but once I start the turn that is it. So make sure of your orders. I would prefer if you have one go at it, the more complex it gets the harder for me it is.

If the excel file I gave everyone is good enough please say so, if you want the story that goes with it, it take more time. 8 stories take a while (although I would not call what I done a story but even so it takes time)

I have the ability to give a complete year log if you cannot view it in the excel file as a txt file. But would hope you can read the excel doc the log is under the race tab.

Just noticed that construction cycles are set to 80k instead of 400k. So that should make a construciton cycle each day? Never played around with that setting, so I'm not sure how much this impacts gameplay, but I don't mind either way.

The excel document was actually quite intersting, but I haven't done more than glanced at it yet.

*edit*
I just noticed that minerals are on HW level and not adjusted to eight factions like Panopticon did. Was this done on purpose, or an oversight? (I wouldn't mind either mineral level, it's just good to know)

[ardem]

On purpose, resources will be an issue on Earth, you should have enough to get off it, but if you don't leave enough you might be in trouble.

[Destra]

So in otherwords get your butts off earth asap :p gotcha will do cappo!

Updated the world map again:
Added AD but still left Shadowveil out because the intro post isn't finished ( ) and I don't know how much of Russia or Germany to include.
"East of Texas" means "not Texas itself" to me, but AD looks a bit small to me the way it is?
Also added the rest of the US west coast to NZDL as per ardem's request.
