"And so we have made contact with another tribe. For good or for worse, we do not know. But we are pleased to have found many good islands during our explorations. They seem especially suited for outposts to bring early warnings about future potentially hostile armadas... We must hurry to settle these islands, before other tribes have mastered the skills necessary to tame the wind and make travel across the seas so much safer."

Interesting thread.
What year are you guys up to now???
And Carolus, any interest in trying this with one of our many unfinished games? maybe we could play email turns and continue when all three of us (you, Eddy and I) are available??

[Carolus Rex]

Sure!

Only one (minor?) problem, though. We have to make sure the AIs don't sell us out during other players' turns.

1) Is that possible with games that already has started using different options?
2) How is it done in either case (from scratch or with a game that's already running)?

I'm clueless when it comes to these things... The others set this one up, I just play... But I'm sure they can help us.

It's about 340 or 360 AD in the game now.

You can turn it into a scenario and then set the AI attitudes to stay a certain way, and even make it so you stay in a certain government no mater what. <----which is only good if that is your wish

[Carolus Rex]

How do I turn it into a scenario? Just save it as a .scn file?

SH, I believe Eddy is on vacation for another week. Maybe when he gets back?

Carolus

[Crustacian]

The way it was done in another game was to load the game and go into scenario editor, make the changes, then save as a scenario.

"We hope that the Sioux silk we delievered will produce nice and comfortable stockings. Since it was in demand we have good hope that it will be valuable to the secret receiver (you know who you are ). The nice bonus of many, many gold coins have indeed been useful to the Sioux nation! "

Kengel, did you get my 380 AD save?

Carolus

[Carolus Rex]

The 400 AD save is with me. I will not play it until Thursday (earliest).

Sorry for the delay!

Carolus

[Carolus Rex]

Back in town!

Able to play the pbem more regularily now...

Carolus

[Carolus Rex]

Are we still playing?

Carolus

[kengel]

I sent it on yesterday, sorry for the delay...
Big network trouble here since our Sysop tries to install a firewall.
Well... he still tries

Status report: AD 500. The Egyptians continue peaceful expansion and research on their home continent. Is it pure coincidence that the Egyptians post this report on the very turn when Thebes finally starts celebrating again at size 24? Perhaps not, but 500 is a nice round number ...

[kengel]

The Japanese leadel () disaglee.
egypts people not peaceful!
Egypt people blibing halmless tlilemes flom japanese folk.
Japanese people not like that.

[Carolus Rex]

Me thinks the Egyptian leader makes extensive use of the 1984 vocabulary. War is peace etc

Hm... I can't get that size 13 capitol to celebrate... Something to do with the number of cities, I suppose? Cause it has the necessary improvements and 3 (good) trade routes... Grrrrrrrr!!!

Kengel, I just sent you my 500 AD save!
