The proof of the pudding is in the eating........whoever organises the games (Rah I suppose) pick a theme and see if its fun.

Naw, as the organizer, I don't want to appear to be forcing anything on players. It's bad enough that these guys called it "RAH" rules. It sounds real bad when I'm trolling new players and they ask what setting we play and I have to say "check out the RAH rules thread". Which is why they called it that in the first place.

yep
It's not as bad now because most of the people here realize that it's a rules set based on the input of many different people and not just me, but it's still tough when you're dealing with new people that aren't aware of the History involved.

Support Apolyton, buy Galactic Civilizations

I myself play deity 1x1x and found out that huts make not much importance in my games, because of these points:
- there can be tech in it.
- there are more important things to find: like trade specials. so coast line is more important.

for the hutfinder: i think its a little too detailed. you have plenty enough information with this:
1. there is a hut 3 squares to the left if your hut is to the left of a special. (and there is a hut 3 squares right if your hut is right of a special). the so called "middle of a pattern".
2. from a hut you go either 3 squares horizontal or 3 squares vertical to find the next hut.
3. in middle of pattern always go horizontal, because vertical is 33% of finding a hut, horizontal is 100% (given no water there).
4. looking if the special is top right or bottom left of a hut is unwize, there are acceptions in the pattern that can mislude you.

these simple guidelines are more then enough to find huts efficiently and not waste too much time while moving.

That's the problem with opening a lot of huts... early, you get the units you need, but you can also get those sciences that knock you off the path. And yeah, I also would rather take my chances opening huts then not getting any

I've been told that War's computer was actually used as a server for Poly up to this week!
