New GalaxyNG game starting. From: "Johan van Niekerk" <johanvn@SPAMFREEmail.petech.ac.za> Date: Tue, 27 Mar 2001 08:12:25 +0000 Greetings. Game firestorm will be starting on April 2, 2001 on galaxy@modder.petech.ac.za. The parameters are as follows: Game name: firestorm Game server: galaxy@modder.petech.ac.za Game version: Galaxy NG version 5 Game Type: Highlander (There can be only one) Turns per week: 3 (Mondays/Wednesdays/Fridays at 21:00 GMT +2) Max Number of players: 30 Min Number of players: however many register before the start. Starting planets: 5 planets per player. 1 x Mass 1500 2 x Mass 1000 2 x Mass 500 Distance between home worlds: 45 No of resource planets per player: none No satelites per player: 2 GM Playing: Yes This game is not a standard galaxyNG game in the sense that colonization and development of worlds will play no role. (except for restocking bombed planets of course). Firestorm should be a fast moving warfare orientated game with satelites (as strategic launching points) playing a larger than normal role. Players are starting with a lot of resources and should have very strong fleets in a relatively short time. Due to these factors firestorm should be as the name implies a firestorm. To register for this game send a mail to: johanvn@petech.ac.za with subject line : register firestorm. Note registration is manual and it might take a while before your registration is acknowledged.
