AoW PBEM, Third Thread Thereof

[Valuk]

Since there has been some response to my previous post, I have decided to start another Age of War PBEM(credits go out to, you guessed it, Exile).
This will be my first PBEM, but if anyone wants to give it a shot, post your supplications right here.
I think I'll take mother Russia.
Long live dictatorship .

[greeny]

British please
Valuk, make sure you read the PBEM guide if you havent already the one at civfanatics is useful too:

Are we going to use Chokes new version?

[Valuk]

Fine with me.

[Darius871]

France for me if this gets off the ground.

[yop73]

I'll take Italy.

[Choke]

Vehrdammt! I wanted the Italians or the British but I guess I'll take the Germans.

[greeny]

Since there's been quite a debate about the issue of repeatedly loading the save game to get better results, may I suggest a "house rule" that no-one does it in this game?
However I dont think we should try to police it/ have accusations flying around or anything, just so everyone knows what it expected and no-one has an unfair advantage. I think playing this way would be more realistic (real world leaders didn't have access to time machines) and less tedious for the players.

I don't think we should stop anyone doing it but that it's their choice, only I'd prefer it if you didnt.

any thoughts?

[Darius871]

I would support a house rule, even if it can't be enforced, just to make it clear.

[Choke]

Me too.

[greeny]

Shall we wait and see if anyone wants the Spanish and Turks or go ahead now?

[0hwell]

I'll be spain.

[Choke]

I don't think there should be any AI players.

[Valuk]

So, the current actors are:
Russia: Valuk
Great Britain: greeny
France: Darius871
Italy: yop73
Germans: Choke
Spain: 0hwell
Turkey:

The new Russian tzar shall probably inforce a stiff autocratic regime(unless that ceases to suit his imperialistic needs ) and will immediately seek for allies on the continent(such as Germany) and for a strong navy(Britain).
But we'll just have to wait until the coup'd'etat for that to happen.

[yop73]

You might want to negotiate with PM's. There is an interresting article about this in this month's SLM, which you can find in the creation/ScenarioLeague forum.

[JMarks]

Hmmm, I'll take Turkey
