It's just my gut feeling, but I don't think that draft reduces randomness as much as people give it credit for (it does in general yes, but people claim this change is much more significant than I think it is). What it does to a pretty large degree is increase skill expression, because weaker player...

If I understand correctly BGA doesn't implement house rules (likely due to legal reasons). So without authors permission you will not get such draft option and I suspect Tom Lehman wouldn't aprove this draft option as official (because that would sort of aprove of the idea that there is a relevant d...

You could pick up the infantry from mecatol rex and leave it in the space area (or commit it to the planet again), so there is a reason to ask if you want to pick it up. If mecatol rex is your destination system there is no reason to pick up fighters, because they are already there.

People whining about being kicked always remind me of a discord server for pol...

That's not a Vitulture question. If you haven't played enough games you haave your elo change multiplied.

Even in PI windup man is not that strong. It's very consistent, which may be opressive on lower level, because people struggle to find a path to victory in the first place, but without infernal engine it's not great usually. The reason is that it's not enough to end on R4 usually. It will ALWAYS end...

Perhaps science fiction memorial would be a good pick for that? Better than ceo project imo.
