Welcome Commander…
The Aeon announced at the ‘Docklands’ that all entities in this solar system must covert to the “Way”
… according to the Aeon High Council the only manner to survive, the ‘Planet X’ perihelion in December 2012, is to become a pure energy Illuminate. The Aeon asserts that they alone know this “Way” to the 5th level of consciousness.
Their decree states:
- All war must cease and all resources devoted to the spiritual endeavors of the Way.
- That the Seraphim are our friends and we should welcome them as they have come to help us in the approaching cataclysm.
- No divergent resistance will be tolerated, as time is too short.
- After ‘Planet X’ passage all resources will be divided equally among resurrected souls.
- The Seraphim have terraformed the ‘Aeon Homeworld ‘ in order to ensure their survival.
Hmmm… reading between the lines of this edict we understand that Seraphim and Aeon factions have united to take executive command over all factions. Their flawed premise that a second sun will bring Total Annihilation to at least 2/3s of all living creatures is at best a sick joke and at worst a malicious form of mind control.
The Galactic Alliance has already replied by declaring the Docklands a strict No_Fly_Zone and that we are sending 2 loyal Commanders to maintain our control of the northern docks. They proffer Apocalypse we propose Armageddon.
This will be the beginning of a Major Campaign that involves 3 theaters:
Docklands 20x10

TeamPlay Aeon Campaign
2 loyal teamed human Commanders from any faction
verses
2 teamed Aeon Sorian Turtle AIs.
TeamPlay has only one rule…all allied Commanders must be still in game for Allied Victory. If any ally dies or leaves the match is a Loss.
This series of maps are set to play against Sorian Turtle AI not AIX. As I have pointed out in the past a “No Air” unit restriction applies to most TeamPlay water maps if you want to fight an intelligent and robust AI. There are a couple of reasons for this restriction:
1. When the AI builds Air it builds 2 Airports per AI at each expansion position. This will choke the land build for room and also nerf the naval build by taking away resources.
2. If AIX AI had a controllable cheat factor it could be set at 1.4 and then the stealing resources problem would be alleviated.
So keep in mind that no Air restriction will improve gameplay.
No matter how many start position the map contains the Campaign is only for 2 human verses 2 Sorian Turtle AI. Humans must start in the correct map positions that are usually in the North [top] or West [left]. Only 2 AI are required, as any more will weaken the AI and slow gamespeed.
The maps are designed to run 1000 units at normal gamespeed.
Until FAF sorts out the AI’s use of custom units it is best not to use any mods.
Each TeamPlay map has a setup for ultimate AI performance posted at GpG map forum.
Some conditions cannot be set under FAF until the LEM is incorporated… like # of expansions, TML accuracy and AIX difficulty.
Of course you can do what ever you like on my maps as they are really only normal maps with a good set of AI markers. You could:
a. Allow Air - This will bring the weakest AI to the match.[also slow gamespeed]
b. Start in the wrong positions – generally gives weaker AI
c. Add more than 2 AI – also generally gives weaker AI
d. Use AI other than Sorian Turtle – again generally gives weaker AI
e. Run mods like BlackOps - You will have a major advantage
f. Play against other factions – Seraphim will play well on these maps.
g. Have more than 2 humans – Only 1/3 instead of ½ available resources.
h. Play all human [with no AI] - in 2v2, 2v3 or 2v4 team games. [fast gamespeed]
i. Use 2 Sorian Turtle AIX - good luck with that until it is less cheating.
Lastly I should warn you that you need a clean 3GHz quad core [or oc’ed =] that is running very well for Internet play on the larger 20x20 map with 1000 units.
For your delightful entertainment.
