Algorithm[]
I think that it is really important that we have
1) Limitation on the size of extra-terrestrial populations
2) War algorithms for Earth Nations and Alien Nations

1) We do need to do that, but we should wait until there are enough players first.
2) There will be an algorithim for land battles, but an algorithim for space battles is just impossible. There are just too many variables.Monster Pumpkin 23:30, April 11, 2012 (UTC)
I think the limit should be 150 trillion for ancients/mods and 65 million for non-ancients/mods.

65 million is too low for a spacefaring race, and 150 trillion might be a bit high. . Even we have over 7 billion and we don't even have space colonies. Somewhere between 45 billion and 2 trillion should be good, but it depends on their history and size. Monster Pumpkin 19:45, April 12, 2012 (UTC)
Well, I had 97 trillion in the old game, but now I added three new species to the Empire so that now totals up to 123 trillion. I can always lower it.
And I think there should be absolutely no limit on how low you can go. Syngraféas Enallaktikí̱ Istoría, Dic mihi lingua Anglorum. 23:37, April 12, 2012 (UTC)
Insectus territory[]
I need a crash course on map making. Could somebody tell me how to edit a map? SPQR 19:25, April 12, 2012 (UTC)
Easy. Just right click on the image, click save. Then go to Paint or whatever drawing application your computer has and open it! :) However, if your map contradicts what we have already, then you will have to move somewhere else. Please note that several nations are not shown on the map yet. Syngraféas Enallaktikí̱ Istoría, Dic mihi lingua Anglorum. 19:30, April 12, 2012 (UTC)
Wait, don't edit it yet! I just made the new version, and to save us both some work, wait for mer to put it up first!Monster Pumpkin 19:36, April 12, 2012 (UTC)
Ok. Syngraféas Enallaktikí̱ Istoría, Dic mihi lingua Anglorum. 19:41, April 12, 2012 (UTC)
It's up now. You can edit the map. Monster Pumpkin 19:43, April 12, 2012 (UTC)
Problem is, I use a Mac, and I believe Paint is a PC thing? I personally think Apple is the way to the future, and one look at a really bad Microsoft makes me wince. So I will need some help here.... SPQR 18:39, April 15, 2012 (UTC)
Ok, so then tell me where you want the Insectus so I can draw it for you. Syngraféas Enallaktikí̱ Istoría, Dic mihi lingua Anglorum. 18:42, April 15, 2012 (UTC)
On that last border with the Sun. Size and location of homeworld is up to you. SPQR 23:12, April 15, 2012 (UTC)
Arrgh[]
Cmon guys, SOURCE MODE EDIT! I spent like 30 mins fixing up all that coding... :( 
PitaKang- (Talk|Contribs) 20:23, May 1, 2012 (UTC)
Pita, why do you keep getting rid of everything I write? Is there a problem? When I posted for the Regenetech Empire, you undid it. Then I asked why and you deleted it. What is going on here? I even edited in source mode! :/ Syngraféas Enallaktikí̱ Istoría, Dic mihi lingua Anglorum. 20:25, May 1, 2012 (UTC)
No no I tried rollbacking first to get rid of the clutter and bullcrap, but it didn't work. I probably deleted a couple people's posts sorry. Casualty of war. PitaKang- (Talk|Contribs) 20:36, May 1, 2012 (UTC)
Ha, I get it. I suggest copying everything we all wrote after the mess up happened, revert to the last version with correct coding, then paste it. Boom! Fixed! Syngraféas Enallaktikí̱ Istoría, Dic mihi lingua Anglorum. 20:39, May 1, 2012 (UTC)
Lol that was what I was doing, but your deletion was because of me rollbacking the posts in an attempt to fix it. PitaKang- (Talk|Contribs) 20:41, May 1, 2012 (UTC)
Actually, this is all my fault. All the problems occurred after I caused a double edit conflict, so naturally it seems that is to blame. Sorry :(SPQR 02:31, May 3, 2012 (UTC)
Look, glitch or no glitch, if we don't start posting soon, we lose the game. Lets just ignore it and enjoy the game. I think the Soram are next. SPQR 17:48, May 3, 2012 (UTC)
The Show Must Go On!!![]
Just because we have awierd glitch going on, doesn't mean we can stop playing. THE SHOW MUST GO ON!!!!!!!!!! SPQR 19:45, May 3, 2012 (UTC)
Coding[]
Ive fixed it for about half the game and our current turn. I really cannot stress how important it is to edit in source mode. That was not the cause of this glitch, but it has been of many others. If you see random <li> or <p>s, it means they are in visual and it just messed everything up. Thanks. PitaKang- (Talk|Contribs) 19:51, May 3, 2012 (UTC)
Thank you very much. This is a big relief, and now we can finally save the game from being cancelled due to inactivity! Once again, apologies, since it was my edit conflict that caused all this n the first place. SPQR 22:52, May 3, 2012 (UTC)
Taiwan[]
Can the Chinese player stop the crap with Taiwan? And like I have said before, in a case of China vs Taiwan, Taiwan will win. PitaKang- (Talk|Contribs) 20:48, May 4, 2012 (UTC)
Thank you for telling him what I have repeatedly told him for more than three turns. Syngraféas Enallaktikí̱ Istoría, Dic mihi lingua Anglorum. 20:53, May 4, 2012 (UTC)
Once again, Taiwan wins because the west supports it. With the U.S. in dissaray at the moment, the Chinese might/probably win. Monster Pumpkin 20:55, May 4, 2012 (UTC)
Nope. The odds are I'd say... less than 20% that China will win. PitaKang- (Talk|Contribs) 20:59, May 4, 2012 (UTC)
The Garich guy just hacked into Chinese and Soviet computer systems and prevented orders from going to Chinese soldiers from the government. Syngraféas Enallaktikí̱ Istoría, Dic mihi lingua Anglorum. 21:01, May 4, 2012 (UTC)
Radios Scraw?
Either way, they could do it, maybe with Soviet support. Monster Pumpkin 21:06, May 4, 2012 (UTC)
MP, I respect you, I really do, but it really may help with a little research before posting. Soviet-Chinese relations are among the worst, and I mean worst relations at this time. There will be no help from the Soviets. And even if there is, how would the Soviets help anyways?
Also China, at most can land at this time 20,000 troops at a time on Taiwan. And most of these will be chopped up by the Taiwanese navy/airforce. And even if China manages to take out all of Taiwan's military, they still need to cross 200 miles of water to actually get to Taiwan, and they only have enough transports for 20,000. If you study for Falklands war, if Argentina had concentrated fire on the British transports, instead of their destroyers and whatnot, they would have won.
The only way for China to win is if they nuked Taiwan, and that would simply be implausible.
PitaKang- (Talk|Contribs) 21:13, May 4, 2012 (UTC)
Thanks for the respect Pita.
I am aware that the Soviet Union and China had iffy relations at the time, but the Soviet Union would almost certainly rather have a communist Taiwan then a capitalist one.
Actually, the Taiwan strait is about half the distance you stated, at only 111.85 miles wide.
I do not see how China nuking Taiwan is implausible at this time. The cold war is at its height right now, and China did have mulitple nuclear weapons it could have used for such a task.
China was serious about liberating Taiwan from the Nationalists, and if the oppurtunity came when the west was distracted, they probably would have.

Again, the "West" has had two turns now to recover, while the same damage done to the West was just done unto the East, so they are even more unorganized. Besides, nations like France and so forth would help Taiwan even if the Americans were in a scramble. Syngraféas Enallaktikí̱ Istoría, Dic mihi lingua Anglorum. 21:29, May 4, 2012 (UTC)
Once again, my point is: China has millions of men, but only the transport capability for 20,000 at a time. 20,000 is certainly inadequate to invade Taiwan. PitaKang- (Talk|Contribs) 21:33, May 4, 2012 (UTC)
Especially when these 20000 are not able to receive any orders through radios or anything. They would have to resort to couriers. Syngraféas Enallaktikí̱ Istoría, Dic mihi lingua Anglorum. 21:46, May 4, 2012 (UTC)
Incidentally, the cr** about Taiwan unsettles me. I hate bad language. You are right about everything, Scrawland, except for the fact that Taiwan wouldn't attack China. Remember when we were going over the whole thing where I was scolded for saying "what repubic of China?"? Well, that was when the USA suggested that Taiwan fight Mian and China. The USA ad Taiwan have great relations, as I hear, they would listen to America, and I say Taiwan should get into the game. We've talked about it's strength so much, let's see it used against the Commies, for #%$&$*(()% out loud! Taiwan's hour is coming, and I say it's high time that China and Mian went down. Everyone wants Mian gone, and everybody hates the Commies, so why can't Taiwan be used against them? SPQR 18:26, May 5, 2012 (UTC)
Nobody wants Mian gone 'ceptin the commies. Anyways, why would you start a war that you will lose? Syngraféas Enallaktikí̱ Istoría, Dic mihi lingua Anglorum. 02:57, May 8, 2012 (UTC)
Game Has Stalled[]
Nobody but me has played for a few days. We need to prevent this game from dying, so start playing, for the love of peat!!! SPQR 19:17, May 7, 2012 (UTC)
Resign[]
I resign from this game because i have not been playing and i have too much on my platter with other TL's and map games. Bobalugee1940 00:12, May 8, 2012 (UTC)
I am sorry to have to resign too, simply because of schoolwork. I have like 6 finals coming up, and I need to study, and I dont really have time because of homework. Sorry. PitaKang- (Talk|Contribs) 19:42, May 8, 2012 (UTC)
Same here. In fact, I am leaving the wiki. I have got addicted to map gaming, and I have got to break my addiction. I consistently find myself getting in trouble because I have to go on 24/7, and I am doing it during schoolwork, while friends are over, when the timing is wrong. I just can't stop myself. Sorry. SPQR 20:17, May 8, 2012 (UTC)
So, you're letting me play as Reapers, or you'd better see this map game die normally? :D Doctor261 (Talk to Doctor261) 04:35, May 10, 2012 (UTC)
