I am always curious when I see Enigma's predictions. Have you seen all these players play or are you just going by their posts and general reputation??

The way I see him doing his prediction is like this:

HongHu: HongHu is female. She'll have them all eager to help her.
Enigma: I am superior to all of you, so I'll PWN you all, HongHu included.
Darsnan: Let's just put a name here. This way they'll all jump up, and eager to fight each other to prove he is the best.

Well, I need to coax at least one of you to stop a mass bumrush. >_>

So do you think your startup is not shabby Enigma?

Meh.
What's this Alien Machine do?
It purports to have a gas attack, and looks like an AA.
Does it control Drones?

Who put Geothermal on the hill...
are you expecting me to lower that terrain all the way into the sea?!

And FFS, what's with all this junk lying around the map...

I've altered some game settings, notably 'auto investigate monolith' to off.

I have a choke hold with a monolith, and don't want my future attack unit spending a turn looking at progenitor glyphs.

Anyhow, playing the turn. Will take a while to survey my surroundings and decide on a plan of action.

Kody, the diff is -not- transcend.
I piled my starting pods into a base, and the drones weren't there at size 2.

That means I'm playing on THINKER or below.

Remember - when making a multiplayer scenario, you must always set the scenario rules to:
force current difficulty level

I request a restart.

Playtest the scenario a bit before you ask for a second opinion.

	Avatar Enlargement: We've got the solution

Actually the first thing I did was "force current difficulty level". I think I did it again the second time I redid the map. Unfortunately I must have forgotten to do it in the 3rd and final remake.

Thanks Enigma,

Glad you brought this up early, I'll fix up the game and playtest it again.

quote: Playtest the scenario a bit before you ask for a second opinion.

I did playtest for like 10 years, but didn't bother change SE settings or keep track of drones in the bases.

Shh, it's supposed to be your surprise weapon.

Geothermal works on land and I like the graphics better than the uranium.

You'll understand why at a later date.

I checked the first save, auto investigate was turned off so someone must have turned it on again. You need to talk to one of the players before you.

Hrmm I just looked at the scenerio. It DOES have force difficulty level on, also the scenerio does have transcend level too.

Trying to figure out what went wrong.

I think I must have done something incrediably stupid like make the PBEM. Then gone back and ticked the force difficulty level in the scenerio without remaking the PBEM.

That's my only explanation on what happened.

Arghh playtesting this game is really time consuming with 7 players and accelerated start. So many units to move.

Honghu's turn again with the difficulty level problem patched I hope.

Okay here it is.

Honghu has 2 reloads, because I had fiddled around with playtesting. These are my reloads not Honghu's.

I'm pretty sure I replicated Honghu's and Raptor's moves. Only difference was I didn't turn on auto investigate when I moved a scout over the monolith.
