    Us and Them Pbem Setup Thread

    PBEM

    Eight players required... yeah so may not be a super fast game
    the goal is to have reliable players, who will post that turn sent, and if they going to be away etc

    each player will be teamed with an ai...

    everyone gets to pic their civ, and the ai civ, and yes you can have both of the same nation if ya like

    Huge map... for a Huge game

    type of map - open for options on this

    other settings... optional as we chat we can sort them out

    would like to see some raging barbarians myself
    also I like only a few victory conditions turned on...

    It has all along with me

    what you do is when you open your turn before making your moves press ALT & D at the same time.

    Then you enter your information.

    you will need the server outgoing name "smtp-droopeydraws.tt.ii.net" an than your email.

    sometimes you need your opponents email but usually the host sets it up.

    You end the turn and it pauses a little then toward left a message appears sent to Grams successfukky and then yu hut exit ti desktop


    Hope this heps

    in mine in is like smtp-rewind.ty.ff.com

    (Ficticious names but same same set up)

    They key I found is to move a unit a turn..say a worker or an archer whom is defending then PRESS ALT & D at same time and enter infor required.

    I have heard gamail has had issues, although I can confirm no deny first hand

    well my machine used to crash most of the time in the later stages of a huge map game, id play two maybe three turns then it would either lock up permanently or crash to desktop etc.

    however with the patch ive been able to play my old huge map saves fairly smoothly, just the occasional freeze for a few seconds when scrolling but nothing too drastic.

    I would imagine loading single pbem turns and playing single pbem turns will be very possible for most now, unless of course those single turns are of epic wars with hundreds of units to move around, but I dont think ive yet managed to have anything like the number of units you could end up with in a civ3 late game.

    Ill play this is there is room and ill think about civ chioces when that is confirmed

    this one does sound interesting, but i think i'm 9th to post

    but at least you can be certain that i'm reliable (at least once a day) and always post the last turn
