DrewMatrix -> RE: OT - Any suggestions for a space game akin to WitP? (2/12/2005 6:41:56 AM)

I highly recommend VGAP4 (VGA Planets 4). http://www.vgaplanets.com/v4beta.htm Like WITP it is a large game. Large in area and number of units, and large in length of game. It is an economic and diplomatic game (as well as having battles, trading, technology swapping). It is only playable vs other players (unlike WITP). Games tend to have about 10 players, have about 2-3 email turns per week, entire game lasts 3-10 months. Many different races with entirely different "personalities" (all out attack races, defensive mine laying races, rob-you-blind races etc etc etc) You can download a sample version for free (which limits you to lower technology but lets you play online). There is a large community to give advice and to play against.
