TheSAguy -> Challenging start… (7/2/2014 4:29:45 PM)

I got inspired after watching Larry Monte’s Lets Play to start a real challenging game myself.
I’m not using any mods, besides Das Chrome mod and the latest patch 1.9.5.5
So I setup a game on a 10x10 grid with an 1,000 stars and 19 AI players, so 20 players in total, 50 stars each.
Settings:
Difficulty – Extreme
Aggression – Chaos
Prates – Very Many
Pirate Strength – Strong
Race – Gizurean
Start tech – All pre-warp.
So I start my game and surprise, surprise, I’m not alone in my starting system. A few planets over the Gizurean have their own planet. I’ve had a lot of games in the past where there was another starting race in a neighboring solar system, but this was my first to actually have another starting race in the same system!
And if that’s not enough, they got the mining rights to the system, yip my constructors can’t even build a little mine.
I thought this would be a good save to share if anyone wanted to give this game a try:
Save Game
It’s not all doom and gloom. Since there are 2 races, there are 4 ruins (though 2 ruins are empty) and 4 abandoned ships in the system.
I failed in my first attempt, but have a pretty good idea of what to do and will give it a try after work today.
Love to hear some feedback on what you guys think.
