Description:

The goal of Chaos is to try out completely unrealistic, totally insane ideas, and see how much fun we can have in the ensuing chaos. It is a game-mode where anything can happen for no reason. It will not be fair, it will not be balanced, and it will not be predictable. This is not one for the faint of heart, you have been warned!

The Great World Forge creaks into ominous life, a terrible rending sputtering issues forth much to the dismay of the Creator. "Blast!" When the smoke clears, a misshapen lump hangs desolately in space, a spectral spiderweb of fracture lines in the weave of reality surrounding it. "Another one for the junk heap..." And it is there, in that broken and discarded world, where a forgotten and abandoned humanity takes their first steps.

Settings will be randomised to a large extent. There are also a number of special features just for Chaos that may or may not be active for the game. Some settings will be fixed, these are:

• Game version: fc21-3.1
• Hex grids - I like hexes. If you don't, you can look at using them as part of the chaos.
• 25 hour turns, with first turn 49 hours.
• Powerful specials - Resources are rarer and have bigger bonuses.
• Impetuous Units - Auto-attack is enabled and random unit types will provoke attacks.
• Every active community member gets a nation, even if they don't sign up. Activity to be determined by being signed up for on-going games or posting in Discord. It will be AI-controlled unless they choose to take over, so everyone has the option to observe the Chaos.
• Settings may be altered at any time.
• This is highly experimental, so server crashes are likely, and may cause turn delays.

Rule differences:

• RTS is banned. Strange and disturbing fates might await those who push their luck!
• Going idle is allowed, but expect to get AI-toggled if you don't return quickly.
• You are forbidden from taking the game too seriously.

Victory:

• "I escaped the Chaos" - The primary challenge is developing enough to escape the planet via spaceship. Anyone who can achieve this before the end of the game is considered a victor.
• "I endured the Chaos" - Players who actively participate for (almost) the whole game get this award. That's an achievement in itself, as this will be a very chaotic and unpredictable world.
• "I embraced the Chaos" - A special award for players who post an interesting account of their exploits. Going to extra effort to share the fun is something that should be commended.
• "I ignored the Chaos" - A dummy award for those who steadfastly refused to take part, leaving their nation alone the entire game, while remaining active elsewhere in the community.
• "I AM THE CHAOS!" - Change your name in Discord to Hawk (or some close variant) for the duration of the game to get this very special award.
• Some special prizes may be awarded to players in future Chaos games based on their activities in this game. The nature of which will be determined at the start of their next game.
