Another Age of War PBEM

[winterfritz]

Age of War is a great scenario, especially for multiplay (check out the original PBEM game for it, still going here at Apolyton. Although it's a pity about the poor old french there...)

Anyway, I was wondering if anyone else would like to play a PBEM for this scenario? I'll take the French. If anybody else wants a shot, please take either the Russians, English or Germans first, as these were the most important and should be filled by human players.

The civs in order of play are:
Russians
Italians
French (me )
Germans
Turks
English
Spanish

Age of War is one of Exile's excellent scenarios, and can be downloaded at civfanatics if anyone needs it.

Sure i will

I'll take the english...

Give me Germany or give me death!

[The ANZAC]

Here, here!

I'll take Russia theanzac@optonline.com! good to see you started it up Winterfritz!

[winterfritz]

Great!

So the players are:
Russians - The Anzac
Italians
French - Winterfritz
Germans - El Awrence
Turks
English - Soundwave
Spanish

I say we start now. More players can always come and take over the minor powers. But I think that four players should be a good amount to keep the game going quickly.

May I suggest a one day time limit for playing your turns? That way all of us don't have to wait for our game very long

Anzac, could you start the game (as you go first) on Prince difficulty, and post it here as well as sending it to me when you've finished? Thanks.

Good luck all!

PS Oh, and I almost forgot: make sure you all use the MPevents file for the scenario, not the normal (singleplayer) events file. Just move the events file to another directory and rename MPevents.txt to events.txt
Thanks

[Dr. Nick]

Well, a 48hs limit would be ok, 24hs is a little too little in my opinion.

[winterfritz]

Sure, a 48 hr limit is fine.

As a quote from AOE1 "START THE GAME ALREADY"

[The ANZAC]

The Grand Russian Empire has mobilized its forces.

[Henrik]

Good Luck everyone, are you sure you dont want minor nations before starting though?
One of the things that is so great about the original AOW PBEM is diplomacy, most of it isn't visible in the thread though...
And witout those MN's diplomacy isn't as interesting

Oh and I can definatly guarantee that anyone who picks Italy will have lots of fun.
Henriko of Italy (original AOW PBEM)

[winterfritz]

Yes, this would probably be a good idea, Henrik. The game would be way better with all player slots filled. But we won't wait for too long, maybe a day or two.

So come on in folks! This is a once only offer! Grab a minor nation for the second Age of War PBEM!

Sunny Italy... Proud Spain... The ancient but still vigourous Ottoman Empire! Any of these could be yours!

But be sure to grab one of these three desirable nations quickly, or you may lose the chance of a lifetime! So post after me and lay your claim TODAY!

BTW, El Awrence, could you please give me you email address so I can send you my save games and negotiate? I tried to send you a private message but it said your mailbox was full and I couldn't. Thanks

[Dr. Nick]

Ah, forgot that minor detail.

I'll take the Italians (email: nick_dowling@hotmail.com)

What version of AoW are you guys using? Just the 'straight' version advailable from Civfanatics, or one of the many updates? (I've only got the playtest version)

[winterfritz]

Good to have you with us Case!

As far as I know this is indeed the 'straight' version, available from civfanatics. You can always check with Anzac to make sure. Remember to use the MPEvents file, and not the single player one.

Your turn is right after the Anzac's (Russia). If you could post the saved game here as well as sending it to me, that'd be great.

Good luck

Italy has moved. (I used the version of AoW advailable from Civfanatics)

* The Italian Government has recieved communications from the Russian, British and French Governments proposing mutual assistance agreements. The Italian government looks very favourabily on these proposals, and has requested the specifics of the proposed agreements.
