  • [PBEM]Civ4 PBEM #1: Classics (10/24)

    Hiya I'd like to start to organize Civ4 PBEMs a bit before release day, so that we can hit the ground rolling and not spend a week getting organized.

    I realize that not all will want to play PBEMs, even those who played PBEM in Civ3 ... but i'm sure there are a few of us who will

    I'm posting 'start dates' so that you know if you can play or not. Some will start on 10/24 (or as close as possible), some later for those of you who get the game later and/or whose country is delayed

    This first game is a basic one. Classic civs only ... any civ that was available in civ1 and is still available.

    Rules ... well, it's early, so unless there are suggestions from the Beta Crew, I suggest 'default' whatever that may turn out to be.

    A few links though if we do have opinions:
    Settings Screen
    Civ4.net's 10/12/05 posting has a mention of the victory conditions

    This is going to be a Six Player PBEM, and in a large sense a 'learning' PBEM. Please don't expect this to be a cutthroat PBEM, and i'm not going to hold anyone to a turn clock.

    Post name, email, most common playing time ...


    Update: I'm splitting this into two games, both in the same style.

    Game One!

    1. Snoopy369 - Germans (negotiable if you want to switch) (snoopy369 yahoo com) (evenings US Central time)
    2. Conmcb - French - ? - US central time (right after Snoopy369) ( conmcb25~TA~bluemarble~TOD~net)
    3. Akulla - Rome - akullagamesATkilianationDOTcom - US Eastern Standard
    4. Mao Tse Tongue - Russia - sean at spincontrolrecords dot com - late US Eastern time
    5. Beta - Greece - .. - late US eastern time

    Game Two!

    1. Lord Nuclear - Rome - ? - Evenings US Western time
    2. Playshogi - Greek - shogi4 juno com - late US Eastern time
    3. Joethreeblah - ? - joethreeblah@hotmail.com - US western time
    4. Platypus Rex - ANY - platrex at gmail.com - superlate US Western time
    5. UnO - Aztecs (yes, they're civ1 ) - sirulias using aol - superlate US western time






    Thanks and look for more PBEM signups

        French-same time zone as you in summer, one hour ahead in winter and I can't relaiably play till late evening.

        Being lax on the 24 hour rule is good.

            Aztecs please. (Though I've never played Civ 1, random if they weren't in there)

            Mountain time here, but usual play-time will be EARLY morning 4-6 AM, or evening 6-10 PM.

            SirUlias, and I use AOL.

            I'll be slow out the gate, but pretty regular in turn playing by mid november due to my schedule the next few weeks.

                Yes, the Aztecs were in Civ1. They and America were the only two Western Hemisphere civs.

                  You're right, I double checked right now.

                    I'd like to play. I'll take Alex of the Greek. Ordered from EB so I expect the game on the 25th. I can play anytime that last week of October. After that, 11PM EST. I never played civ by email although I played about 200 games of chess by POSTAL mail years ago. shogi4 juno com

                        If there is still a spot, I'd like to give it a shot.

                        I'll be the Russians if available otherwise just random me.

                        I'm EST and usually play after work and after the kid goes to bed so 21:00 - 00:30 end up being my play times.

                        I used to play a lot of Hot Seat games, but I've always wanted to get in on some PBEM.

                            Im not sure that appropriate for a first PBEM where we are trying out the game but they are valid scenarios that should be tried out and commented upon.
