First Time as a Multiplayer Support Apolyton, buy Galactic Civilizations

I first bought Apha Centauri right after it first came out, while I was living in Japan. I loved the game right away. It kind of reminded me of the old "Empire" game. Anybody know of that one? I never had the chance to play against anybody...only my computer, never had anybody I knew who also had the game. Still, when Alien Crossfire came out... I bought it right away. I really enjoyed it... and still like playing it. I took a break from the game for quite awhile...but am back playing again. I would love to try out the multiplayer functions... either via an email game with someone.... or over the internet. I tried looking until I found this website/forums. I hope that I can find a few people who would like to play some games. It may be hard to co-ordinate a live game via the internet, so I would be willing to play an "By Email" game first. All I need is somebody to help get me started.

Get a bigger avatar today!

I've played alot of multiplayer before (hotseat) but never with more than two human players.

I'll play an email game with you, my email adress is gasdd@yahoo.com.au. I can only play email games due to my bad internet connection, and the fact that my copy of the game crashes alot on this computer.

Anyone else want to join in?

I don't mind which rules are used, I just want to get a game in soon, before I have to start studying again.

Got spare money?

I would enjoy a game with four human players! What rules do you guys play? I prefer SMAC but can also play SMAX. I do prefer standard size planets, look first option, do or die, steal tech at conquest, non accelerated start, no unity pod scattering and all victories possible, but I can play other options as well (except accelerated start, that I'd find boring). Let me know if you let me join and what the game is going to be. My email is audax@bigfoot.com.

Cheers,
Mars

The options Mars Mammon had listed sounds good.

Having no experience from PBEM or SMAC(X) MP with more than 3 players I'd be interested to give it a try. I can also convert someone to join the game if needed. I'm open for all options but would prefer standard settings.

Email is jevdi@mbnet.fi and ICQ/AOL account is available as you can see. If you want to arrange a chat to get the game started and set the rules just choose a time in GMT and email me.

Having already 6 players, I could get 7th to join us if you want to. Tobek has to say his word on this though. If he's still with us.

( -Contact-, go in 'control panel', from there you can alter your 'avatar', the neat little image most disciplined of us have installed )

Support Apolyton, buy Galactic Civilizations

Thinking about the forthcoming PBEM I'd like to recommend ICQ for anyone interested of real time communication with your neighboring factions. With ICQ we could have real time Planetary Council! Since we're going to have alliances and world wars, creating east-west block all over again. And with cooperative victory(the single most important feauture of game) a total of three factions can actually win the game. Diplomacy with real humans become an issue which can enrich and deepen the game in unimagenable ways. In case anyone interested my ICQ UIN is 42219523.

And, no, this is not a promotion. I am not advertising ICQ nor applications involved.

BUT..... if anybody is interested in another game, please llet me know your preferred factions 1st, 2nd, 3rd for both SMAC and SMAX.... and which smax/smac you prefer to play. I'll be more than happy to organize and setup another game.]
