Reply to The MVL Rulebook in Metaverse GalCiv2 Forums

I think there should be a team submission bonus, but not an individual one. As someone noted before, this might encourage people to submit earlier rather than have nothing for a month, then a flurry at the end. An individual submission-speed bonus would have virtually no effect on this. Submission time to break ties is also a fine idea. KzintiPatriarch <IMG id=ImageResize_Image_1 alt="Sentient species

[quote] Hmmm.... is it Ferral cat or Ferrel cat? Well, the full name is Ferrel Mewler. It's a play on word that I made up when Ferris Bueller's Day Off was in the theaters. I was playing AD&D and need a character name. Ferrel is a play on the word feral, meaning wild. A mewler is a type of cat. Put them together and you get wild cat. I know, I know, but it sounded clever back then. [/quote] I've heard a lot worse character names. I'v

minor civs and habitable planet generation in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

When you are playing with minor civilizations, do their home planets take up one of the habitable planets generated, or does it add more habitable planets above the normal count (one for each minor civ homeworld)? This would really only be significant on smaller maps.

Reply to new idea for tourism revenue in Dark Avatar GalCiv2 Forums

I think this is an interesting idea, and I also like the idea of it only being for good-aligned civs. As long as it wouldnt lead to a significant increase in micormanagement, I like it. I think adding the requisite effects to already existing techs might be the best way, or just adding one new tech. Good does need a boost. <IMG id=ImageResize_Image_1 alt="Sentient species taste better..." src="http://www.mypicshare.co

Definitely a very direct reference to that classic game. SC2 was one of the best games ever. Even just playing the "melee" part and going head to head with all the different ship types was a ton of fun too.

I would actually like to have two picks, but I'll go with whatever the consensus seems to be. If there were to be a change, I was thinking I could get to pick one of the poeple who were assigned randomly to another team (so as not to steal someone elses pick!) and then lose to that team one of the people randomly assigned to Team D. Does that seem like a fair resolution? Thanks... KzintiPatriarch <IMG id=Imag

[quote] We just lost our 2nd pick...what happens now? Well...er...nothing. Team D is a 4 man team. This is certainly a reasonable thing. Clearly with the count as it is presently losing one person would force us to have one four man team and four five man teams. So the 4 man team may as well be the team that lost a man.
