Wouldn’t it be nice to play with 10 families of 5 members each? More families would mean more conflict and possibilities to recover from wars, leveling the playing field a bit more.

From the Balius, MW and SN round i’ve played so far I liked the Balius setup the most so maybe Pollux is on to something.

I voted classic start resources and 6 weeks. However, I think these are very tightly connected.
Increase the number of start resources means a decrease in round length in my opinion.

100x starting ressies = basically skip ephase, that will be over so fast then. agression will start much sooner, and that results in a winner-decision much sooner.

True Hala, maybe it would be better if we vote on predefined seeds. Since now we could get a round that nobody voted for.

8 votes for normals resources

Most votes on more resources, devided over 4 categories. If you all voted for 100x than we might actually get a high resources start :slight_smile: (@MaceWindex, @Cadomark, @Easyway )

@I_like_pie Can we so a vote on starting expos again? :sunglasses::smiley:

How many expo’s do you want to start with?

  • Zero expo ships
  • 8 expo ships
  • 16 expo ships
  • 24 expo ships
  • 32 expo ships
  • 40 expo ships

We never actually vote on starting eships, they are 0 unless someone requests a poll like this in the replies. The 100x etc. Only applies to gold, food, iron, octarine and endurium.

ok, so let’s have a round with 100x starting resources, 16+ eships on each, and make it lasts 6 weeks… That’ll be 3 boring weeks at the end lol…

Yeah 100x on 6 weeks is boring for 70% of the time with or without the 2 day eship boost, hence why I suggested 50x on a 5 weeks with a 2 day eship boost. The 50x should offset the resources enough to not overkill quick econ and not take forever to start the round and never finish exploring.

3 posts were split to a new topic: Improved Round Setup Process

There’s no reason why we can’t start now. Players are free to set up new polls on the fly, as @Balius has done here. The 100x e-ship poll is perfectly valid if enough players want it.

I will take these e-ship poll results into consideration.
