Because of the other games I was in I didn't want to widely broadcast my absence for a few days.

Help yourself to an AD-FREE life

The query refers to one of the earliest posts, when I had forgotten to set the "Force current diff" flag.

At that time i thought that only the SE change costs were affected, but it seems that the human players are playing at Librarian level (so drone alleviation, lower SE change costs, and all the other goodies that librarian level brings.

But, I just checked it as an IP game, and altho it shows the global level as Transcend, the human players are playing at Librarian and the AI at Talent, except for the unfortunate AI Gaians, who are indeed at Transcend!!

Note, though, that as the global level is at Transcend, the Game events that have "DIFF" in their formula will use Transcend as the level (whereas your tech research rate, which is particular to each faction, will have a DIFF of Librarian in the research formula)

But as all human players in the game are at the same level, I don't think there is a problem

Yes there is IMO.
Having less drones means less use for secret projects such as the human genome project, less use of the Peacekeeper and Drone boni, a completely different strategic situation with regards to vertical versus horizontal expansion, makes popbooming ridiculously easy (even for the Morganites), has as a result that free market has no big penalty anymore (good for everyone except the Cult who can't run FM), etcetera... It completely screws up the balance in the game and between the factions.

I'm sorry guys, but I'm not interested in playing a game under Librarian level.

I'm not particularly bothered, and can continue to play if some of us drop and get replacers. But I also wouldn't be against a reboot if the four of us wanted to start up a new game.

redone - and I took the opportunity again of tweaking the AI a little (using the KC I had a peek at it from Andi's save, and it was somewhat anaemic)

SE change costs now OK, drtones appear when they should, mindworms more aggressive (ie appear earlier in bunches, etc - all the things that one expects from transcend level)

Morgan turn attached (same passwords and start positons for all, so you should breeze thrru those first few turns - maybe even get together online to fast forward those 25 years??)

Oh - it's 2102 'cos I used the 2101 turn to set passwords

Actually... knowing what I know now, I'd have preferred my original faction choice - the Spartans - after all. This world is much more hostile than I had expected: lots of worms and fungus, powerful AI, lots of worms and fungus, no rainy areas, lots of worms and fungus, no un-rocky rivers to build bases on, oh did I already mention lots of worms and fungus? This must perhaps be the worst starting location I ever had (well except perhaps for the Chiron Winter II PBEM).

I guess I'm not allowed to change factions with my current hindsight?

Well in the aborted game my starting position was no bed of roses. In fact it was more a bed of fungus.
