[PBEM] Jungle Jumble

[sabrewolf]

custom continents (4 continents), large map size, quick game speed, ancient start

4 human players:
- sabrewolf (prince level)
- aebbeka (prince level)
- KrazyE (prince level)
- Lumpkin (noble level)

4 aggressive AI players:
unknown

and some aggressive barbarians!


so: make sure you build units fast and soon! barbarians are great for training, but if you let them come too much, you'll be in trouble

thanks sabre; what countries are we?

Out of interest, why'd you make the AI aggressive? Kind of limits our options if they don't like diplomacy.

[Lumpkin]

also, cant we use the sneak attack forum for this game too? I don't see the point in notifying separately.

[sabrewolf]

countries/leaders are random. iirc i'm roosevelt...
the reason for aggressive AI is because "normal" AI are way too easy to wrap around the finger. here you'll have to work to spread your religion and get a key technology...

as for the tracker thread: according to apolyton rules we shouldn't have a thread over 500 posts but start a new one (this one here is around 800 posts already!). i've created the new one, but if you don't want to register/post in both, it's fine for me it you just post in one of them

[sabrewolf]

by the way, if somebody has a really miserable start, like tundra and ice only or desert with no river, then we can restart!

last question: is it ok for you guys that i've given krazy 1 level lower difficulty level? considering the experience and the scores in sneak attack, i thought it's appropriate...

[aebbeka]

Hey! I have a low Sneak Attack score too!

I'm up for using the Sneak Attack thread, since we'll be playing and sending both games at the same time.

Or, we could use this one for both, since the SA one is getting big.

You scared me with the game title. I thought you'd gone mad and made the map 90% jungle.

Krazy has both games now. Man, it's a big file already.

[sabrewolf]

the title was because i went for the tropical climate. kind of the oposite as our desert islands we have in sneak attack

as for your score being low too: true, but don't forget that you two share the technology-based score... which makes up around 40% of my current score and even more of lumpkin's.

but anyhow, if you're all unhappy, i can redo it differently...

hey sabre, how do you use the gmail smtp server in game? Do you? I keep getting an error.

[Lumpkin]

well, to keep with rules, let's notify only this message board. I am officially abandoning the sneak attack board.

[Lumpkin]

Both games sent to sabre

wierd... the turn i received back was for the chinese qui shi huang guy. that should have been an AI. anyhow, he's had a very foresty starting location and i resigned him (so taken over by AI now).

[KrazyE]

Both turns sent to Lumpkin
