That's fine, keep it to yourselves and test and tweak. Don't promote a game open on a public server unless the TWA is available for everyone to practice on.

And again, I wish there were some way to lock down your TWA so once it does go public, it cannot be changed. That's a very intricate TWA and will take a lot of work to balance it correctly to make it run for a month or so.

Low Profile did take some of my suggestions for this last version he ran on Game E. But the game was over in 5 days. Ships are still a bit too powerful, and there's too much cash on the Alien home worlds. They were harder to cap this time, they did have max shields, where before there were no shields.

Yes Comet your right. Thanks for the input.
The game was made with that in mind.
Photon's were disabled but I changed it.
Until John fixes the alien's from putting the figs in sector The game should run with photon's off.
Helix it looks like I did post it. So I guess that gives you the right to do with it as you wish. I don't care! Glad you like it so much to run it on your server. Its just to bad it's the wrong one.
Thank you Cruncher for input. Keep checking those alien ship's.
As far as I know Low, Vid and myself are not playing the edit anywhere.
There is a new one ready to test. Photon's will be off and planets will be stronger.
All input from everyone is welcome.

Hope it will be on all 3 site.
Have been thinking about giving to another sysop, but not sure who yet.
Vid is ready, waiting on Low to contact me.
I will be setting a private game on my server for testing.

I'd like to have a copy. This game really intrigues me.

It looks as if you started with a M002 type edit and modified it for a capture the planet game.

I do like it best with a turn limit. If you are going to do a photons off version, then you probably won't want to give the aliens too many figs, the game would last too long if we had to moth down 3.8M sector figs. LOL
