Old world style. 5000 sectors, 1500 turns. Speeds turned way down. Game mimmicks 56k conx with a 500 ms delay built in across the board.

This is a nearly stock game with a few enhancements like port regen turned up slightly. Lot and lots of bubbles to build in.

This is a NO GRIDDING game. Leaving your figs in every sector will only cost you money, We are sweeping to remove them. Repeated offenses will get you thrown out of the game....

Game L on twarbase.com, port 23.... Enjoy

Your high latency defeats the "single digit" pings.

This is slower than playing on Vid's server in Guam. :(

That's actually the point. I wanted one game where I could just go in, putter around, manually play and just think about each step, like the old days.

I did reduce the latency to 150ms as you requested so it does move better but I'm leaving the 56k setup in place as well as the delays I added to kind of slow things down. I like the pace of the game.

I am making one change. I am adding a 4 hr time limit to keep people from suing their script alerts.....

Scripting is still possible but it will probably just put the scripters to sleep. That actually suits me just fine... I have a ton of very fast scripter games on my server that they can play in if they wish... This one is just for me and I am playing it actively.

Thanks for stopping by yesterday, I enjoyed our chat... don't be a stranger....
