Dear Player,

The next exciting installment of SMR games is upon us! Step into the ring and get lathered up for the Fall Brawl. We're taking a breather from draft rounds for a bit to go old school. Blue racial 11 x 11 galaxies (Alskant will remain 12 x 12) circle the 5 x 5 green planet galaxies, with the large 30 x 25 neutral galaxy in the middle. Mines in the racials will be limited to 24 hours, mines in the neutral are at a 72 hour limit, and planet galaxy mines will last for 120 hours. Planets are set at 20/95/10. Game speed will be 1.5 with a turn maximum of 600. Alliances are capped at 16 players, 13 vets and 3 newbies, so start picking your squad and let's get ready to rumble!

We have made some interesting tweaks to the upcoming round. Changes include a trading increase of roughly 40% (I know, who doesn't love trading??)! Ports are also more likely to upgrade due to regular trading, as well as gaining more money from it. Along with this come a whole host of ship that you can check out at http://goo.gl/JgVvSj. We MAY even balance out PR cash, but you'll just have to come in game and test it to find out...

As always, SMR welcomes any new ideas for maps. Map ideas and submissions can be sent to any SMR admin or on the SMR webboard in the map submission thread.

Space Merchant Realms also very much appreciates the hard work of our primary coder, Page, and two other players who have started working on SMR code to make it a better game, Ronsilver and Astax. New features, long proposed, now have a chance to be added to game to add depth, balance and interesting new strategies.
See you in game!
Thank you,
