Yes, I made a steam group actually. Everyone can feel free to join even if you're not participating in this particular event.

http://steamcommunity.com/groups/srcw

Whatever everyone prefers, I figured Hamachi is slightly more popular though. But, please feel free to leave feedback on the virtual lan software we should use, and any rules for the game.

Definitely Hamachi.

My suggestions for rules are.
1. 1 tech can be traded to an ally per month
2. No declaring war without a war justification.
3. If a player wants to end an alliance with you, you have to agree to dissolve it.
4. limit of 9? research facility's per nation.
5. China and the USSR can not get directly involved in the war in Korea until the USA reaches the Chinese border.
6. Balanced starting factions(ATM it is 1-5 NATO-Warsaw Pact)
Going to try to think of more.

Also lets delay the first session until next Friday.

Hamachi is fine.

I may join but i despise house rules though


EDIT:Ill be USA I guess

tswink4@yahoo.com

Without house rules you get really stupid stuff like West Germany taking over Peru or the USSR designing the T-90 in 1962.


I do believe that the OP is hosting.



Also, TactiKill you missed a sign up.

I can agree with these that were proposed

2. No declaring war without a war justification.
3. If a player wants to end an alliance with you, you have to agree to dissolve it.
4. limit of 9? research facility's per nation.


Some are okay but like 5+ IMO is overkill

We can make rules as we play. If someone does something stupid, we can all declare war on that person or something.

We can create our in-game security council. we can vote to punish a nation for a bad behavior.

1. 1 tech can be traded to an ally per month - I definitely think tech trading has to be limited. I was thinking no tech trading between humans at all. Even one a month between human players could be a lot, and create situations where one person is researching X and Y, while the other is researching Z. That could unbalance the game and have things progressing too quickly and easily. On the other hand if anyone wants to buy or sell units that are already produced, that would be fine.
2. No declaring war without a war justification - Sounds good, I'm interested in hearing more feedback on that from everyone else first.
3. If a player wants to end an alliance with you, you have to agree to dissolve it - This may take some of the human element out of it. I think it's important to have players be cautious of the company they keep and the deals they make. Only enter an alliance with those you can fully trust. Progress and build your relationships gradually throughout the game.
4. limit of 9? research facility's per nation. I like this as well, but still open to hearing more feedback
5. China and the USSR can not get directly involved in the war in Korea until the USA reaches the Chinese border - I know that will be more realistic, but I'm hesitant to limit anyone's strategy.
6. Balanced starting factions(ATM it is 1-5 NATO-Warsaw Pact) - Fully agreed. All future entrants must choose a NATO aligned country. At the most maybe we can allow 1 neutral country, while the rest must pick strong NATO factions.


I think we can have everything ironed out and completely organized for the 5th. Also, everyone should keep in mind that there will be plenty more games to come where we can test different rules and settings.
