Seawolf I Update

[Guest]

Archived from groups: rec.games.empire (More info?)

I sent (or tried to send) an update this morning, but don't see it posted.
Hopefully there's not too much repeated info if they both show up.

Of the eight players who expressed an interest, three of them did not
break. That put a lot of unplanned 'extra' territory out there, but
luckily I don't think it will upset the game balance too much. As it is,
not all of the players have fully explored their start islands.

Right now the power chart visible from visitor looks like this:

After the 3rd update, not one but two ships getting ready to head to sea.

SEAWOLF I is a very slow game. Not only is the update on a 24 hour clock,
but the update is only 48 ETUs instead of the normal 60. This has caused
some griping early on (hey, it only takes so many keystrokes to kick a
mine into production), but it also gives the players some time to plan
things out - hence the ships being built as soon as possible. (Don't think
you can build them any earlier than 3rd update, can you?) When push comes
to shove and troops start making opposed landings, the newer players will
probably appreciate the slower pace of things a bit more.

Cheers,

voor

I'd just like to say that my 40 sectors have more than 3x the efficiency of
any other player.

-GNUb (lvl 5 fodder, yup I finally killed something)

Lvl5 requires that you kill someone that fought back (and I assume that
kill means taking the player out of the game - not just killing a unit
or some mil) Since all the original players are still in and viable, I
don't thiink you qualified for lvl5 yet :-(

Unfortunately you have 600 civs less. You're producing 450 iron less, 250
dust less, and 1 ship less than the leader. Sorry to burst your bubble.

Make sure all your civs are "doing something" and that they are making
babies during the update (You need some food above starvation to make
babies, see version for how much) Sitting in a cap is not doing something
BTW. Shove them in your cap right AFTER the update to make btu's and throw
them back in the mines BEFORE the next update. Also throw 1 food into each
sector with one civ. He does have a chance to reproduce then (Although he
may go blind doing it) and every civ counts.

Anyway, just trying to be helpful.

Best of luck
Mark

Starving your own civs twice doesn't count as killing something.
