Happy New Years everybody!
Anyone up for starting the new year with a bit of political intrigue in SRCW?

I made a post on the forum, but figured I'd make an announcement here as well. As mostly everyone knows, despite a great turnout for our first event - there won't be any large organized events until the game is more stable.

There were countless connection issues, lag, and crashes. At this point the game just isn't stable enough to host a large number of players. Until that's fixed we're better off doing small MP games instead.

2v2's are still viable, maybe slightly more than that with the right host, just remember to save along the way incase the game crashes. So keep using the community and Hamachi networks to get games going as you please, hopefully we'll be able to get a large one once BG releases the neccessary patches. Stay tuned.

Thanks.

Our finalized list of settings and rules for our upcoming game.

We'll have two rules that all players must abide by.

1 - No tech (research) trading to any human or AI players at any point in the game. You are allowed to trade unit designs (blueprints), or fabricated units as much as you desire and to anyone of your choosing. The only thing that's a no-go is tech trading.

By doing this it'll keep the game realistic, so we probably won't see small nations in a space race. However, their ability to purchase unit designs and units their selves, gives them a fair ability to defend them selves.

2 - Limit of 9 research facilities per nation. No one is permitted to have more than 9 research facilities. This will also keep the game moving at a realistic and strategic pace.

Other than that, there's nothing on the books to limit anyone's strategy.
