I'm organizing a sign up for a PBEM playtest. If you're interested, please sign up here:

Roman Senate (Cicero): The ANZAC
Syrian Legions (Crassus): Boco
Gauls (Vercingetorix): Kull
Egyptians (Cleopatra): St. cLeo
Parthians (Orodes): Fairline
Spanish Legions (Pompey): Magyar Crusader
Cisalpine Legions (Caesar): techumseh

Test of Time is available online for ten bucks or so.

[The ANZAC]

I'll take the Roman Senate

[fairline]

I'd like to take the Parthians please

[St Leo]

I'll take the Egyptians.

[Civfan]

finally getting my moneys worth. I'll take the Syrian Legions

[Alex Woehr]

May I join in? I have some ToT scenario design experience and quite a bit of scenario experience in general. The only problem is that this would be my first PBEM game and you might have to drag me along a little as far as jargon and procedure are concerned. I would like to take the Spanish Legions for 200, please.

[The ANZAC]

OK, do I start first, or am I just the first civ on the list? and if I do, should I start on prince?

I'd like to get the last 2 positions filled, first. My problem (such as it is ) is that I'm leaving tomorrow for 2 weeks vacation. I Won't be back until the 6 of January. So yes, ANZAC, please start as soon as we can get the Gauls and Cisalpine Legion spots filled. We need a Caesar and a Vercingetorix. Kull, you wanted in on this didn't you?

And no, start on Diety (or whatever I've renamed that to). I'm defying convention, 'cause I think the AI SHOULD cheat.

As much as it galls me to play as the French, I'll take de Gauls....

I do have one question- and please don't take offense - but is it really a good idea for the designer to release a new scenario for playtest - and immediately disappear for two weeks?

That's sooo bad, but thanks.

Yes it is. I'll try to find an internet cafe and check in, but I can't guarantee it. I was trying to get this out a month or so ago, as you know, but these things have their own stubborn pace. If people want to wait until Jan 6 to start, that's fine too. I have played several SP games as various civs, and I'm not anticipating major problems.

Caesar shall forth: the things that threaten'd me / Ne'er look'd but on my back; when they shall see /The face of Caesar, they are vanished.

I'll do it.

[The ANZAC]

Roman troops under Gaius Canellus Florius have seized Rhodes and are currently carrying out operations against Anatolian barbarians.

[Civfan]

Soldiers train to become better. Troops being transfered around the region. In other words all is clear at the moment.

Parthian king, check your private messages.
Egypt, All the good fortune to you.
Roman Senate. Hello, I'm at your service.
My friends, allies Pompey and Ceasar. Lets keep the peace between us and rule in good faith for the people of the Romans.

To the rest, the Barbarians. Bow to Rome and pay your tribute to us. We will be your friends, your enemies.

I dont know, old age is great.

The summer of '55

The peaceful farmers of Gaul quietly go about their business - to all appearances it's a year like any other.
