I'm thinking about starting an OCC SG. We've seen a few already lately, but they are fun and short.
My thoughts go towards:
-Conquest. I think this should be possible on pangaea, Regent level. Monarch sounds too difficult.
-Deity. Just trying to win.
-Space. Emperor or Monarch level.
Is there interest for one the suggestions?

Indeed, demigod is fine as well.

I'm just going to start that OCC. Meli, what is your favorite? I may start other OCC's after this one...
1. OCC regent conquest
2. OCC monarch space race
3. OCC emperor space race
I'm leaning towards 1 or 2. 3 sounds a bit difficult.
Others wanting to join: be my guest and pick your favorite challenge too!

Grimjack, a Space Race is VERY hard and we need a lot of luck as well. The biggest issue is the lack of resources as far as I can see. I think emperor space might be too tough because of the tech spead of the AI.

CarlossMM is added to the roster for all of the variqants.
I think monark might be mighty tough as well.
I do not anticipate problems keeping up in tech race, it is the lack of production that would make the AIs launch faster than you.
In most OCCs I have played solo, at around Fission time, Monark AIs are not far behind, but in emperor, you are behind, and it is mainly through diligent prebuilding One is able to snatch UN. ( Or 20K which comes at about the same time. )
No matter how you do it, it is very hard to rack up more than 500 beakers, and that is more than 10 turn research on the later techs. Then as you say, resources. Often there are backwards AIs that are happy to supply you with resources for techs. I do not think that is as big a problem as having only 500 beakers and 120 shields. ( Unless you are more lucky than is normal, and get an iron works. )

I created a threat for the OCC conqeust game: AG4 - OCC Conquest (regent)
Aggie

Microbe, that's great. But we will only start it after the OCC Conquest is finished

Added to both

In fact, since you expressed interest in the honourable game this one is ready to start.
AG2 finished in embarrasing fashion
( 
), so I was planning to start a new one anyway!
