​

In celebration for the next big update, we will be launching a new campaign. All players are welcome. Same rules will apply as before:

Game Settings*

• Elliptical map with size depending on number of players (roughly 1:2, Player vs. AI).
• No Advanced AI starts.
• Max number of fallen empires.
  
• Max number of primitives
• Crisis Strength = 1x
• Habitable Worlds = 0.5x (lowered to speed up campaign)
• AI Aggressiveness = Normal
• Difficulty = Normal
• Start with hyperspace tech (made default with new update).
  
• Empire Placement = Random (gives most room for player expansion).
• Advanced Neighbors = Off

House Rules

• Default game-speed = Fast (or Normal for first 10 minutes of gameplay)
• All game times will be posted in advance as early as possible (minimum of three days prior).
  
• Game times will begin promptly. Players may join at any time.
• Minimum number of players required for valid session and ends when online player count drops below threshold (currently 4).
• No reloads (unless savefile gets corrupted).
• Game pausing only for bio/food breaks (duration must be specified).
• You may not declare war on offline player empires unless it is to reclaim captured populations from your empire.
• You may vassalize, but you cannot eliminate another player's empire. Defeated players must be allotted their three starting planets.
• Don't be a dick.

Victory Conditions

• Unite, vassalize, or make tributes of all factions (except Fallen Empires) under one Alliance.

Mods*

• Quality > Quantity
• Intended to augment vanilla experience, NOT change it (most give more cosmetic options or minor tweaks to vanilla features).
• List can be found here: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=685614600
• List will be reviewed and updated after Apocalypse update, but before campaign begins. Outdated mods will be removed.

*NOTE: Subject to change. Suggestions are welcome.

If you want to include your custom empire in the campaign, it is REQUIRED that you post your faction at the link provided below:

LAUNCH DATE TO BE ANNOUNCED (PROBABLY LATE FEB)​

 

Question. If we've switched to a new species, should we update our original post, or just make a new one?

 

Just make a new post. Will be easier to track what has changed.

 

Nay, I believe we'll be playing mostly vanilla. Maybe 1080p UI overhaul? Unless that's included as well.

 

Hrm.........

That could be interesting. What say the rest of you?

 

@MagnusEffect BTW, would you rather that I host this game this time around? I feel like I'm a bit more free time wise than you might be...
