I have a question as to how players play FFAs online. The way I have always viewed FFAs, and the way I have always played them in other games, is as a Free For All with no set teams. Obviously, you can form temporary alliances, but, at the end, there can only be one winner. However, this doesn't seem to be the case online. It seems that people play as if they can form permanent alliances. This was, at least, how a couple of players played in my game last night.

Can any of you all host games? Would be nice to get a weekend game going...

Lol... ah, ok, well that makes me feel better. I just didn't realize that's how it worked. Thanks for pointing that out... maybe I should sleep better before making a post without thinking first [e digicons]:-"[/e] My apologies.

Alright, this is a bit ridiculous. I started playing a 2v2v2v2... my AI ally and I are doing pretty well as we start things off. So, I start getting attacked by another force and I ask my ally to attack them... Oh, but he won't attack an ally! What the?? As we are on the same team, then, essentially, we are the same unit.

Suddenly, after 1 minute or so, it reappears around his planet... So, figured I'd mention it and either get corrected that this is part of the game or realize that

Ah, that's good to know. I wonder if the connection would be good enough between China and Australia...

Just looking to see if there's anyone playing on this side of the world. I did notice the Singapore post but not sure how many would still be playing. Would be nice to organize some weekend games. I presently can't host, though, as I am going through a wireless.

Hey all, Just bought this game about a week ago and have been thoroughly enjoying it. My apologies if these have been asked elsewhere but I briefed through the manual and the forum and didn't not see them. Here are my questions: 1) What does this auto-fleet ability do? I have enabled it on ships but can't figure out what it is doing. I was hoping that they would join one of my "ctl" groups but that doesn't seem to be the case. 2) Is there a way

I'm in Beijing and would happily join you all when you're playing. Just PM me and let me know when you all play.
