    Lightbulb PBEM - trial and error

    Players:

    Dauphin - Civ tbc
    Snotty - Civ tbc
    Provost Harrison - Civ tbc
    Pedro - Civ tbc

    Lets discuss settings and civs lads....

    I think maybe Earth or a Terra map, with four or so AIs?

    Terra 4 ai sounds good to me. I found the end game slowed down a lot on a standard size terra map, but I imagine that matters less for pbem. So standard or larger I guess.

    I think I will have to play the fabled builder strat god Napoleon

    I'll take Frederick of the Germans.

    So

    Large Terra map, 4 AIs. All else random.

    Question though - Epic or Standard? Difficulty level - Noble?



    BTW Snotty, PH and I are meeting up at Penderal's Oak on Friday ~1730, if you want to come along.

    Game set-up and sent.

    If it screws up, blame me.

    Large Terra map, 4 AIs, other settings stock.

    Pedro, (or Pete) is playing as Queen Vickie.

    Also I don't have an e-mail address for Snotty, I trust Rich does. Just add it in when the turn comes around.

    Onwards, and I think I may be screwed this game if a patch doesn't sort out all the **** the first player has to suffer.

    Due to the problems with passwords when patched, I suggest we start a new game from 1.09.

    I can't get any of my PBEM games to work it if at some point a password was set (even if it was subsequently removed).

    Bugger, the save I sent on was 1.09. I dont remember if I set a password, but I probably did

    So, that means I win this one on points then I guess? I know for a fact Rich didnt get any of the builder victorys
