Galaxy Openings. From: jcho@dante.nmsu.edu (CHO) Date: Sat, 13 Mar 1993 22:57:19 +0000 For those who may be interested in Galaxy openings... I have 4. This is one of the few remaining version 2.9 Galaxy games (written by Russel Wallace). It is pretty much at its halfway point and these openings would be ideal for the beginner who will try to make the best of what he/she has got or the expert player who is out there to undermine other greater powers. N D W S C Population Industry Planets# Empire #1 1.56 1.00 1.00 1.00 1000.00 1000.00 1 -This little gem has one of the most extensive planetary defensives on its homeworld. Has a definite offensive punch... Great for the beginner player who wants to observe the game mechanics or for the extreme Galaxy enthusiast who enjoys trying to usurp larger empires. Empire #2 1.84 1.34 2.40 1.00 4875.22 4131.48 8 -This middle-class empire definitely has great potential to win the game outright. With a little diplomacy, you can go far with this significant power in the FLAT Galaxy. Ideal for the average to experienced Galaxy player as well as the expert. Empire #3 1.26 1.92 1.27 1.00 1707.48 1125.42 3 -This once prosperous empire was blasted by a battle fleet that numbered in the hundreds. But clever survival tactics and some earnest diplomacy has kept its last 3 remaining planets alive and well. Currently, all three planets have numerous planetary defenses. Can still be a big thorn to other powers. And, perhaps with some good diplomacy a chance to see the "golden age" once more. Suggested players would be the experienced Galaxy player with a gift for diplomacy or the beginner who wants an indepth view on how a small power can effect larger powers. Empire #4 1.14 1.18 1.48 1.00 1000.00 1000.00 1 -This empire once stood to be a threat in the Galaxy. After a brief and intense conflict, it was overwhelmed by neighboring powers. It has an excellent offensive battlefleet still lurking on its homeworld and can easily be a thorn to anyone's planets. Suggested players are beginners who want to "experience" survival and diplomacy at its best or expert players who want the challenge of using limited resources in the quest to become dominant again. This will be a strictly first come firts serve bsais. John Cho Galaxy GM for FLAT JCHO@nmsu.edu G1683905@helen.nmsu.edu Referenced By Up
