New PBEM

[phlucas]

I shall play as Alexander.

Are we selecting the AI opponents or are they chosen randomly?

[Smellycowsquid]

I believe random if no one objects...

Hi,

Do you guys have room for one more? If not, I understand, but if so, I'd like to play Frederick/Germany. I'm in GMT -4 (Michigan / Eastern Daylight Saving Time) and my email is drdeke-civ4@inactivex.net. I can also be found on AIM from time to time as D15Rusty.

This would be my first multiplayer civ4 game but I've been playing it single player for the last few weeks and greatly enjoying it. I was a fanatic for civ1 and civ2 but civ3 came out my freshman year of college and I didn't want to risk it . So I'm really enjoying being back in the civ habit.

Michigan?! That is where I am! Anywho, I think we can accept the Doctor, and maybe take out all the AIs, if you guys of course are alright with that!

[DrDeke]

Cool; I was kind of thinking I might have been too late .

As for Michigan; I'm from Kalamazoo originally but now live in Ann Arbor. Used to be a student here, now I've moved on to full-time employment at the University. It's treating me a lot better than full-time studenthood did; I'll say that much .

Anyway, let me know what you guys decide about the game and when to start it. I'm looking forward to it; I haven't enjoyed a computer/video game as much as I have been enjoying civ4 in a long time.

Its random civ for me here too! an dim ready.

Just for note, and end a doubt i have, how does the pbem process works? who send the file to who, what to do after each turn, and etc etc etc....

(solrry about this question, but i never played civ on pbem before)

[phlucas]

And what is the difficulty level? "noble-princeish levels" was suggested, both are fine for me.

DrDeke, my fiancee and I are looking at her going to grad school in Ann Arbor, what is the campus like?

Very well, I think order will then be:
Me(EST)-Random or Mansa Musa
DrDeke(EST)-Fredrick o' Prussia
Metaliturtle(CST)-Random
phlucas(CET)-Alexander
phbreng(Brazil, 1 before EST)-Random

I believe this would be the wisest order. But if someone else comes up with it, they're welcome to.

PBEM Work?

We send it in this order, phlucas sends it to you, you send it to me.

It's my first Civ PBEM, too. I think I need your e-mail address to send you my saved games.

Tracker Thread Barbs?

I also regret, I have been called away on weekends during the summer, and thus, will be unable to play then, however I hope we can play one turn a day, and when the summer is over, maybe play on the weekends.

[phbreng]

when we end a turn we must post it on the "A Very Very Smelly World [PBEM] " Thread right?

[Smellycowsquid]

Yes sir.
Well, let me edit and say, after you end and send it to the next person. Then you post.
