	Get a bigger avatar today!

I'll play the Pirates. And if you really insist, play on DD's Ultimate Builder Map then. But don't start whining when I start whining about my starting position. I have started a few games on that map and every time the Pirates landed in some ocean or ocean trench area while the others started on some good area designed by DilithiumDad.

i hope you'll settle for having the regular faction logo instead of your avatar. using it would involve making darkened versions of it in 4 different sizes. i'm not ixnay, you know

Probably you're right. Though I'll check if it's possible to use my avatar for some of the logos, and the Hivean ones for the other more difficult-to-edit ones.

I've been trying to make my avatar into the faction logo for my pirate faction, but I'm having trouble with the background colour again. As usual, when I try that faction in the game, the background isn't transparent. Does anyone know how to solve that?

Ah yes, TKG, in your faction text for me you had changed my special ability from ability 26 to ability 24.

Edit: Another question. With how many units will we start? May I suggest an extra colony pod and scout patrol for the land factions, and an extra sea colony pod and unity foil for the sea factions.

regarding the ability, i noticed it when i opened the faction with FACedit. it did seem weird that the pirates should get free algorithmic enhancement

though it would seem i've been playing with it set to 26 for quite some time

	Full PM-box? Change here!

I think that every ability is just showing wrong in the faction editor, eg 26 shows as 24; 5 shows as 3...
Together with many other bugs I prefer manual text editing rather than using that editor.

TKG, methinks you ignored the edited faction I posted above.

And of course I'd like my edited faction textfile (preferrably also the graphics but I presume doesn't won't work) used for the game as well. I changed a few texts and fixed the ability.

so, 26 was the correct one afterall?

GT, that's possible, but i thought i changed it. i'll fix it after poly's slowdown has subsided

*BUMP* (sort of) Can anyone get in touch with MWIA to see what faction he wants, or should we find a replacement for him? If we can get him sorted out, we'll be all set to go.

Sorry guys, setting things up at home is taking longer than expected. I don't think I will be ready for the next few days (my only Net access is sporadic, dependent solely on other people). Just another missed opportunity for me. This seems to be becoming a trademark.

I wish all participants the best of luck. One day (hopefully SOON) I might be able to join you all in a future game.

Thanks! I have taken the opportunity to further my abilities in Civ3 and SMAX, to at least discover and experiment with the massive use of Crawlers that has for so long puzzled me in the Demo game. I have improved my difficulty level somewhat as well, so I hope I can pitch in constructively.

Err... not exactly. Apparently there are a few players not familiar with Transcend, so we have to ask them if they want a slightlyt lower difficulty level. Then there's still my question: should each faction starts with a colony pod and scout patrol (or for me sea colony pod and unity foil) more than in the normal game to speed things up a bit?
