(cross posted at "The Swarm Forum".
Greetings Folks,
I finally sat down and completely redid my sci fi mod.  As of the moment it is
only the "Crystalins" and a "Sea Monster".

The main features are:
Naming convention that is easily expandable to new races
An AI that will expand appropriately
Separate AI unis with no drain - which helps them produce units
Limited types of AI units - which prevents them from making useless units
Enough unit types for human fun - which lets you try different strategies
Graphics for all units done by me - um, I think.  If you find any I stole please
let me know.

It just needs play testing and a few graphics.  Who would like first shot at it?

Please contact me via:
gryphin.rampant - @ - gmail.com
(without the dashes or spaces)
Do not use the yahoo email.  I never look at it.

Ready to play.  Give me a shout, set up the game you wish to play and let's go. 
I try to return a move as soon as it hits my in box.  Silent games are O.K., but
I do enjoy chatting with my opponent ( I enjoy the personal touch ) can't cross
talk with an AI.

I would be up for a game as well let me know if its not to late to join your 
game.

Joe

Are there any downloadable unit or terrain graphics laying around to check out
or download? (Empire Deluxe Enhanced Edition)

Thought about making some but the sprites (?) look tricky.

I created a "lava river" if you are interested.I also have an "insect" race and
a "Crystalin" set.
What are you looking for?

Does anyone play UniWar on a android phone or the I-phone. If you like empire
then I think you will also like this. I'm looking for people to play it with me.
It a cool strategy turn based game like Empire.

Is anyone available to take a couple turns for me while I'm on vacation for 12
days. EDIE. multiplayer game at turn 72 without any complications.

much appreciated

question to all EDEE addicts: Is there a way to speed up game play when the
computer AI take forever, like 15,20 or more minutes to take its turn?

help would be greatly appreciated..thank you.

I like maps with lots of sea and islands.
I find large land masses boring.
But it seems the computer opponent can be beaten easily when the map has much
water and only small islands.

Is the computer only really good on land masses?

How small a map? I mean with 6 players it cannot be too small, right?

I've lost plenty of these.  It's also a shorter game.

would say a human should be able to beat it once they are practiced. However,
the AI can be made much tougher with the handicaps allowed in the game.  I know
to some this is not satisfying, because one may not like the concept of a
handicapped AI, but it helps the challenge. I personally prefer production
handicaps over combat, as I find combat unfair. In a waterworld I would
definitely up the production HC so that you will have more water engagements â€"
but often you are fighting against the infamous sniping DD.

does know a little bit more info that you do in EDIE â€" not much though. In
EDIE I  believe (been a long time) that it knows how many cities are on a
land  mass when it lands â€" does not know the location â€" but knows it should
look for some. this aids exploration.
