[PBEM] Ice Age / Highlands / Great Plains

[sabrewolf]

i'm looking for 1-3 people to join me in a PBEM game with a thematic geography such as Ice Age (lots of ice, tundra, forests), highlands (less water, less commerce, closer starting locations) or great plains (afaik rich on resources).

size dependent on the number of players, but in every case something pangea like (to make early defence necessary)

daily players only, please (5-7 turns a week will do, not less)

is anybody interested?

[Corossol]

I am! I'd like to roam the icy steppes as Kublai Khan.

Also since we'll be in close quarters I prefer Quick speed (always good in PBEM IMHO).

I'll PM you my details.

[sabrewolf]

quick sounds good

[sabrewolf]

whoever is interested, please also specify whether Ice Age, Highlands or Great Plains and why you want it

[aebbeka]

I'll play, but ice age sounds hard. I've never done it before, but if it's all tundra and forests, wouldn't cities barely grow at all? But, it really doesn't matter to me which of the 3 it is.

[sabrewolf]

i havn't played it yet, but i'm fairly sure you can still grow...

don't forget, the commonly known ice ages were actually only really in the current moderate climate zones (europe, north america, maybe other places) while tropical areas didn't change much. i presume the warm area is just a little thinner band than usually.
and forests can be chopped down and the land beneath irrigated.

ice age would likely require a bit of fishing -- could be interesting. happy to play

[sabrewolf]

i didn't say it has to be ice age

highlands and great plains surely could be interesting too!

[sabrewolf]

but anyway, GAME FULL

if anybody else wants to play, i'm happy to start another game. maybe one of the other "topics"?

to all who have posted here so far: shall we definetly go for ice age? i'll have a look into the world builder to see how much liveable space there is. if it's too little, we can take a size smaller or so...

cheers!

[sabrewolf]

and please post following (if not already done):
- your email addresses
- your civ wishes
- any special game rule wishes

i'll probably start the game on saturday...

[aebbeka]

I'll be the Persians. Settings don't matter to me. You know my email.

[sabrewolf]

i last night generated an ice age map and can say the following about it:
- not much grassland and virtually no jungle and desert. mostly plains and forests.
- not overwhelmingly many resources, but surely enough for our difficulty level


jshelr: what civ do you want?

[aebbeka]

I thought we were starting today... Come on people, don't say you'll play then ignore the thread!

[sabrewolf]

i wanted to start on saturday but no answer yet from jshelr...

[aebbeka]

Well perhaps we need another player then, looks like jshelr is gone.
