    New PBEM: Crossroads of the World (BTS)

    I think this scenario might be fun in a multiplayer setting, though it had rather typical SP play since the AI couldn't cope with the concepts...

    Anyone interested?

    Count me in - never played the scenario before but what the heck.
    I don't know why he saved my life. Maybe in those last moments he loved life more than he ever had before. Not just his life - anybody's life, my life. All he'd wanted were the same answers the rest of us want. Where did I come from? Where am I going? How long have I got? All I could do was sit there and watch him die.

    Lets pick leaders so we can start.

    I'll take Zara Yaqoh of the Ethiopians so I can host the game.

    Also consider difficulty level -I'd recommend we play on at least Monarch so the AI puts up some resistance.

    In an MP game, remember that the AI is always on Noble. The individual players can be set to something else, but that only affects the player negatives (happiness, health, etc.), not the AI.

    I didn't know that Still, handicapping the humans would help the AI's indirectly. Does this mean setting the AI's to Emperor in an MP game would actually hurt them?

    We cannot change the play order in a scenario:

    Ethiopian Empire - EPW
    Mamluk Sultanate - Wittlich
    Ottoman Empire - Nuke Boy
    Kingdom of Rasulids - Beta
    Khanate of the Timurids - Nugog

    That looks as though it is a good order anyway.

    I'll get the save while those of you with jobs sleep.


    As for Wittlich and Beta...................

    I am now in receipt of Nuke Boy's addy, so I'm standing (actually "sitting") by awaiting the save.

    EPW, while I'm waiting on the save - do you want me to go ahead and establish the Crossroads Turn Thread in the PBEM forum?
