  • Inter-Lego PBEM game

    What do you think about starting an inter-lego PBEM game? It would have similar parameters with the real PtW demo game (continents, etc) and we'd play with the same civs, chosen randomly.

    Who would be in?

    ----------------

    Game settings
    - AI's: NO
    - accelerated production: NO
    - regular victory conditions
    - difficulty: regent (maybe we can avoid the chieftain bug, with the help of Vondrack)
    - map size: standard
    - Landmass: continents
    - age: 4 billion
    - climate: temperate
    - barbarians: the standard option, whatever it is (raging?, I'm not sure)
    - culture flips: ON
    - preserve random seed: ON
    - Available civs: all civs

    Players

    In playing order:

    1. Sharpe
    sarnott(NOSPAM)@mountaincable.net (remove the "(NOSPAM)" )
    playing hours: 00:00 - 04:00 GMT
    civ: Ottomans

    2. quantum_mechani
    roysfamily@alaska.net
    playing hours: 03:00 - 06:00 GMT
    civ: Greeks

    3. redstar1
    david.archibaldREMOVE@btinternet.com
    playing hours: 9:00 - 22:00 GMT.
    civ: Germans

    4. Kloreep
    benNO@surveypointSPAM.com (remove NO and SPAM).
    playing hours: 19:00 - 05:00 GMT.
    civ: Egypt

    5. lmtoops
    lmtoopsREMOVE@yahoo.com
    playing time: 00:00 - 05:00 GMT.
    civ: Japan

    6. Tiberius
    tibi.k_NOSPAM_@xnet.ro (remove _NOSPAM_)
    playing hours: 17:00 - 22:00 GMT
    civ preferences: Arabs

    7. ZargonX
    jhaddockTAKETHISOUT@crunchable.net
    playing hours: 20:00 - 07:00 GMT
    civ: Persia

    ----------

    ATTENTION
    For those who never played PBEM with PtW, some basic rules to avoid the known bugs:

    1. Load the games only from the main menu, and NOT from within a game, otherwise it loads as a single (no MP) game and you can see other players' maps.

    2. NEVER follow this sequence: Play a few moves, save your turn, quit the game, load again your turn, finish turn, send the save! Exploiting this bug is cheating, because basically you get a one turn mini golden age! (extra shields + commerce for that turn)

    Radek, you are more skilled/experienced in PBEM bugs , is there something I forgot?

    I am sorry, Tibi, but I am currently spending so much time on my Poly activities that I do not think it would be wise to take upon yet another PBEM game. Nope, I would not be in...

      Sorry, I also don't have enough time and computer access to begin this at the time

        I'd play, Tiberius. Though, it looks like we may have a player shortage...
        I make movies. Come check 'em out.

          I would play. I'm in two other PBEM games (1 is just starting). But I have the time.

          That makes 3 so far. We need a few more.

            So we are 3 so far. Let's wait a day or two for the other active team members, and then decide how to do it.

            Btw, lmtoops, is there still place in your other PBEM game? I'm involved in only one game now, and lately I'm not in the mood to play against the AI

              I haven't played any PBEM yet and will probably be blown to bits, but count me in anyway.

                  Sounds interesting - I would be able and interested to play if you would be willing to tolerate a person who can only play their turn during the evenings (7-11pm EST , GMT -5 so I am guessing that would be 0000-0400 GMT).

                  Though, I would probably would be blown to bits even more than Kloreep...

                    Tiberius, we have one spot open. The thread is



                    It in the PBEM forum and the thread title is Team-Based Game. We are trying something different. You have a partner in the game (choosen randomly). You and your partner can coordinate activities. Tech trading is ONLY between partners. We are still figuring out the details. Respond quick because that space can fill up and I have not control over it.

                      lmtoops, in the latest list from your link, there were already 6 players listed so I think there's no more place.

                      Anyway, it's great that we are 6 already Does anyone have experience in setting up PBEM games? Or maybe should we choose a neutral "administrator/moderator"? Radek?

                        For the beginning, we should coordinate our playing hours and some data (like address):

                        Mine would be: 5 PM - 9 PM GMT
                        Email: tibi.k_NOSPAM_@xnet.ro (remove _NOSPAM_)

                        One question: should we use the regular PBEM forum or post in here? Or maybe the more sensitive comments here and the "turn sent" things in the PBEM forum? What do you think?

                          Heh, this will actually be my first PBEM game, too. My times would be:
                          3 PM-2 AM EST... which equals... 8 PM-7 AM GMT
                          Though, every other Fri&Sat my turn would probably be delayed (my girlfriend lives out of town, with no internet connection.) But, other than that, no problems.

                          I would say that if no one else on the team has a problem with us using this forum for our game, we should do it here. I mean, it is a team game, and this is our team forum...

                              If you wish, I can try setting it up for you. Never done that before, but would be willing to try.
