HOT 6 - It's Ladies Night in the Planetary Lounge

After my last half dozen or so SG's ending in late Modern War I am looking for a less military focused game.

Here is the details:

Play as the Russians

Opponents: Spain, Egypt, France, England

Small Continents Map

Goal Space Race Victory!

May not initiate any Offensive Wars other than stopping a space launch. If war is declared on us we may retailiate to claim any lost cities but may not use a war declaration to claim additional lands by force. With less than the standard civs we should be able to have a solid core without laying down the . Wars are to be defensive in Nature but getting tech and cities as spoils of war are allowed.

Difficulty: Emperor

Standard SG's rules regaurding exploits etc.

Can I join? A HOT-SG is always nice to be in

EDIT: And I like the concept. But I remember that HOT3 was a space race win as well

I'd like to join, presuming it's not a 3 or 4 member team

As for experience, I beat GOTM 20 on Deity...without fighting a single battle (victory was Space Race), so I believe I have the mindset for it.

I would like to join. I like the concept --- and I, too, am a little tired of the military ending of many of my latest games.

I just finished Speaker's Training Game (team 2), if you want to verify some 'credentials'. (also the Russians).


Cosmonauts!

I'm not particular.

Looking for 5 or 6.

As far as HOT3 I think we could've won by domination or UN as well be choose Space. This is a bit different - try to be a bit more of a builder game with less fighting.

Can I join? I promis I wont make THAT many perverted jokes.. or refer people to ghengisfarb's site...

Experience: RBC Lurker, the "Genocidal Penguin" of Enders Game 1, Team 2. Currently in RBP11b, EM6, NMT2 (Deity, the rest are emperor)

My mom always warned me that if you hang around these forums, something unpleasant may follow you home!

(Or was that feeding it fermented herrings that did it? Now I'm confused...)

Heh! You'll have to keep your genocidal impulses firmly in check for this SG!

Dont worry... Im actually a builder. I just like to have fun with killing things when I get the chance. I understand that this is defensive war and we do as little warring as possible and we build and we go for an SS. (and presumeably a bunch of wonders while we're at it)

Hotrod: An eval of my upcoming schedule has revealed that I won't be able to give this game enough time...Stuck_As_a_Mac can have my spot if you don't mind

NP. Stuck I will put you in

Umm, missed a hot game. I'd like to try Hot7 when and if.

Thanks hotrod...I will be lurking on this one

BTW, I think this is the second time I've given up my slot to Stuck_As_a_Mac ... I think I might add "Stuck_As_a_Mac's SG Placeholder" to my sig

New Roster with all that Changes

Hotrod
Aggie
RubberJello
Stuck_as_a_Mac
CoffeeCup

Now that we have a full complement of players I will generate the game and start with 20 turn then we will follow 20-10-10 etc.

Look for the game tomorrow.

That's a very good starting position and very nice to see a settler pop up. Guess that's all part of the expansionist trait

Got it.

Click to expand...

You got a free settler in HOT3 as well AFAIK...

I forgot about that It's better to be lucky than good.

question: why did you found on the FP instead of moving to the East? (I'm always looking to expand my thoughts on city placement so let me know what your thoughts were please.)
