As you can see, starting conditions were really different. I believe "HomeworldsRadius" ist one of the most important AMaster configuration values. I usually prefer a value of 300 and more to ensure a fairer initial race deployment. FirstSteps had a value of 100. No Go.

This was probably the biggest mistake this game uncovered. I actually assumed AMaster to be smart enough to use the "homeworlds in a circle" method for non-wrapped maps. Turns out it doesn't.

The next program I'll integrate into this server will be PMaster, which does "homeworlds in a circle".

My game summary is probably pretty dull:

My homeworld is #373, Geo Sigma. I started expanding in all directions (what else?).

In turn 10, Klingons capture a planet of mine in the North. This means war: you want it, you get it. We exchange some violence, and the rest is history.

The Bots in the West proposed a non-aggression pact pretty early in the game, so I expand to the East and South pretty undisturbed.

After being done with the Klingons in the North, I met a few Borg, Lizards, and quite some Feds. By the time it got interesting, the Feds had called this test game a test game and left, so my final turns consisted of expanding North, assimilating petrified Feds.
