New PBW game - Rise of War (6 players)

Submitted by Orillion on Thu, 2008-04-24 15:28. Space Empires V Multiplayer

I'm starting a new SEV1.71 BM1.14a game on PBW, 5 or 6 players, and would like to invite players (with experience in PBW matches) to join.

The game is called Space Empires: Rise of War
http://www.pbw.cc/text/index.jsp?menu=gamemenu.jsp%3fgame=1oji1tj&body=gamebody.jsp%3fgame=1oji1tj

Please be aware of the following game settings:
Small galaxy (30 systems)
High Tech cost
5000 Racial points
500k Tech points

The premise of this game is to limit rapid technological growth and hopefully make for a more realistic progression of an empire's expansion among the stars. This will be done by setting the tech cost to high and having a small map containing 30 systems between 5 or 6 players, so space will be limited and therefore the ability to research will be slower. Decisions on the direction of research, balancing research/security/offensive potential, and maintaining a growing economy should be all the more important.

I think this would make for a very interesting game, possibly more so than other games I have played in medium sized galaxies with low/medium tech costs where research could be done so fast that you could be upgrading your ships with the next level of weapon, engine, armour, etc. each and every turn by the middle of the game.

I really like the idea of not teching this fast. I have applied join, but I will be away between 30.4 and 5./6. 5.. If you do not wish to have a delay this early after the game has started, just kick me. Smiling
