N Hide Races at signup? Y Hide VPS (script) from players? Y Additional Game Infomation/Design Hi! The main idea is to put "multiverses" in form of 9 small maps in a huge region which are surrounded by a halo of 9 little clusters to both have a "fast local" story and an epic theme. Within the small maps only 4-5 players will occur. Theses maps occurs mutiple times in the universe. 6 of this maps are populated by players but 3 are empty. The separation of the maps will be so that it will be even for hyper jumper a long journey to travel between them by normal means. But with a small chance it can happen that two maps are close together to travel with transwarp or hyper drives between them. The maps will contain gates (WHs and JGs) which change the map topology as well as the game topology, i.e. they connect regions of within a map as well as different maps. The in-map gates are visible as normal. The others are difficulter to find, some of them are unvisible. But they are hidden secrets to find which my contain coordinates of gates (and their codes). There are also moving gates and such which may end in deep space and maybe even without a chance of a return (one way gates). There is also planned to add goodies of finite (if possible) and infinite life time. We have the strict rule of not having to be a gentleman here. You can be a liar and spoil spot. You can break given words and re-solve given promises/alliances if you think it helps you to reach your (self given goals). You can even taunting your opponents in the BB. But after the game ends anybody is our friend again. :) Mutu will be our co-host if not the HOST! Grandadmiral THRAWN may come back here! Join and have fun! This game here was only opened to discuss the game details and to check if there is enough interest as the scripting needs a lot work. So Mutu will open a new game "The Real Multiverse" and there we can join after the contruction phase is over. MAX PLAYERS PER RACE: 3 GFM GToeroe >> Homeworld Settings << Starting cash: 20,000 mc; gb:15,000 gc; base:5,000 mc Supplies: 1000 Food: 300 Soil: 50 Climate and star heat: 50 (XTals: 90-100; Solorian: 80-100) HD: 100 Delta: 0 Farms: 50 Minerals in base: 250 N; 250 D; 250 T; 250 M Minerals in planet core: 250 each. Mineral densities: 50% Except the farm the only other starting buildings are: Base shield, some aa guns, ion cannons and laser cannons There are no other buildings other than here mentioned! There no parts nor mechs nor fighters in a base! Bots start with 25,875 bugs. This is 300k x 8.625% which is the average growth rate of other races (Sol excluded). You know we have very interesting planets in the core. So we can expect a race to the center at the beginning. If you follow the current game setup hyper jumper races can build in turn 6: Ships 7: jump (no scanning of the center) 8: scan planets 9: move to planets and transfer So normal ships have have three turns time to move scan and transfer. With their starting ships non hyper races can travel ~ 110/trn. If one wants to balance it then they should end up at a distance of 50 in turn 8 to have a chance to get a scan of a rich planet so that they can move to it an transfer in turn 9, too. Therefore the distance of the HW to the center should be 250ly. As the need of building one or two tech 11 engines for it (which the hyper race will not have to do) is a bit unfair I will give each player four tech 18 engines (110) Scavengers and Xtals will start at a distance of 200 to the center as the the tech 1 and 2 ships of them have speed 90 or below and the first faster ships are coming along with wulltech 3/4. So if we have four player in a map and neither of them is XTal/Scav then the distace between the HWs is 353. With 5 players we have 294. If their are Scavs or XTals then the distances may shrink by 20%. If you solve 100 +5t=235 and 100 +5t=353 you get t=27 or t=51. This means the base shield protected insectoid nest of the Bots will effect the neighbors HW between turn 27 and 51. >> Other Planets Settings << Most of the planets are very poor: Soil: 0-20 HD: 0-200 Delta: -1,0 or 1 Climate and Starheat: 9% range in [90,100] 12% range in [47,53] 79% range in [0,100] Unmined minerals: 0-250 Densities 10%-100% Surface minerals: 0-100 Surface med & food: 0-10 Surface supplies: 0-10 CB: Like "Some" of the standard master setting: 0.5 contraband deposits per planet 85% Small deposits, ranging from 1 to 10 kt 15% Large deposits, ranging from 500 to 1000 kt Approx. 40% chance of a planet having at least one contraband deposit Approx. 7.5% chance of a planet having at least one large contraband deposit Natives: Like "Some" of the standard master setting. The chance that a native slot in a planet is pouplated is 2,5% for the maps and 5% for the cluster. The chance that it will be a small population is then 2/3. Small is 0-10,000. The chance for a large one is 1/3. Large means 10,000-100,000. This way we have a total amount of 5.3M natives versus 9M colonists. A map will contain 7.425 large populations and 14.85 small populations. As maps contain 4-5 players a cluster will then contain the aforementioned numbers divided by 4.5 -> 1.65 large and 3.3 small. Each populated map will contain in the center 2 rich planets. Empty maps will contain 3 rich planets somewhere in the map. Each empty cluster will contain one rich planet. So, what does "rich" mean? 2k CB & 500k natives distributed randomly over all types. This means there is at least one CB and native type present and the sums are under all circumstances 2k respectively 500k. Minerals in ground: Neutronium 0-6000 Duranium 0-4500 Tritanium 0-3500 Molybdenum 0-2000 Densities range from 50% - 100% Surface N. Ore 0 to 3500 Surface D. Ore 0 to 2500 Surface T.

There were discussions to ban the Privs, EE, Bots to the halo and/or give them or others (like Peeps) penalties. I will let the Privs and Bots start within a map. The Privs suffer much from the lack of the MCBR and the lack of cities. THe Bot's bug nests will flower out their evil first after a longer time. EE & Borg will start in a cluster. EE because of the arrival of the Emperor with a well equipped Mig and 10,000mc. 10,000mc more base cash while having almost the same income than others in the start is too much. Borg will start in a cluster as they have to weak hulls in the lower techs. They need time to develop. Average planet count per player: ~30 So with 30 players the multiverse has 900 planets. Each map has 90 planets and each cluster 10. We have 9 maps and 9 cluster. If we have 3 EE and 3 Borg then 6 of 9 Cluster are pouplated. In a map then there are 4 players. If no EE nor Borg is playing then all cluster are unpopulated and the maps contain 5 player each. Winning condition: 400 VP, domination or general agreement. I rejected the alter ego condition. Only on player can be declared as winner. Buoy code will soon be changed a bit to add more fun to a game. Then they fit our needs, i.e. the bug that player s can see them although not intended will be fixed and they get an "edge". Other players have to be within this range to see them. No general visibility thru the whole multiverse anymore. This is the planned topology of the stable WHs: [Link]home.arcor.de/vita/Multiverse.jpg [/Link] There can also be unstable WHs which lead to anywhere in the multiverse (but alsways in the neighborhood of some planet), Magik added the code. And there are other gates and buoys which may disclose their secret. Scripted bouys will have additional features (also added by Magik) Currently under consruction: - exact size of maps and clusters GFM GToeroe
