Ladies and gentleman, fodder of all ages, it's time to play Empire again.
(No really, I just looked at the calander. Summer is over and Empire
season has started.)
Twisted Mind 2K4 is starting at the end of this week. Currently, I have a
whopping 9 players signed up. (To those of you that have signed up, a
hearty thanks.) They are:
Limbo
Thistle
Iceland
unemployed
Stardust
Juggernaut
MunchMunch
Sealab
Manatheren
The rest of you haven't signed up. What's taking you so long? You can
varnish the cat later. do you want some spec's on the game?
The game will be based on the 2K4 version of Empire 4.2.16 (except that
the talented Markus Armbruster is patching it up to 4.2.18). Updates
will start Tuesday, October 4th at noon, EDT. For the first 5 days, updates
will be every 48 hours (shotgun start). After that, the updates will be
every 48 hours at Noon, EDT. Oh, the server should be up for breaking
sanctuaries this Friday.
Players of all skill levels are welcome Fodder level players will last a bit
longer than the normal flavor games so I encourage them to sign up.
A few players have asked what the startup looks like. I will only say that
"start areas" will be smaller than you are used too. That's okay since 2K4
mods mean you need less than half the sectors you are used too. Also, there
will be significant numbers of expansion islands.
The host and port are multi.usr.ch/6665. Feel free to sign onto the visitor
account and get more details. (I'd post the "version" output but most of
that is not usefull in 2K4. Ex1: What bars in banks pay in interest is
useless since there is no dust. Ex2: Bridge towers are in effect but only
countires with the Engineer attribute may build them.)
If you wish to play (and really, who wouldn't) by Friday morning send me
(overlord@multi.usr.ch) the following information:
Country Name:
Rep: (Please limit this to 8 characters)
E-mail:
Skill Level (1-10):
Hope to see you soon, pillaging and subjugating.
