Posts: 8 | I was playing galcon the other day with someone and I noticed we were rather evenly matched. When he got a good start (that is, began the game surrounded by big planets with single-digit numbers in them) he won. When I got a good start, I won.
I'm wondering, and I apologize for wasting your time if this has already been jabbered to death, why not make the field level. One example of a level field would be planets all the same size and rate of production and all equidistant. That would eliminate the element of luck.
Comments please. | | Re: Level playing field :: Feb 8, 2008 @ 2:46pm |

Location: Chi-town | There is a mod that has been written called "symmetry" that does this very thing. It creates a symmetrical playing field. However, this only allows you to play against bots and not humans.
You can download the mod from the stick topic: "Download mods from here..." | | Re: Level playing field :: Jul 15, 2008 @ 5:57pm |
