Silent PBEM - Youth in Asia

[Rhothaerill]

Somehow I figured Beta would end up with Korea.

I think it should be a large pangea world new so that it spawns lots of hills and mountains.

And throw in the traditional wet and hot settings as they are the most supportive of successful civilizations.

I have all passwords now, but I'm off to bed. Try to sort out all civs and settings and your preferred turn order. I would appreciate to find all information gathered in one post. I will set up your game in the morning.

[Rhothaerill]

Just so everyone knows, I will be gone the entire weekend, returning Monday evening. I will be able to start playing after that though.

[Wittlich]

Oh sure Rhoth....since you go first, make us wait until Monday evening!




J/K, no problem Rhoth. Thanks for the heads-up.

[Donegeal]

Just wait Wittlich... I leave for vaction on the 17th. Our first turn should get done in about a month...

[GhengisFarb™]

Right after donegeal gets back from vacation I am scheduled to demobilize and will be without a computer for a few weeks. Nice how we all coordinate this.

[Wittlich]

Yep, this game should go like grease lighting!

[Hot_Enamel]

I could choose Mongols .. just to annoy GF.

But I dont mind painting a big red target on myself saying "kill me first, I am China"

So..China I am.

Any settings will be fine.

[CerberusIV]

I'm going to be away for a week in May - just about the time this game should get moving.

I will post the first save soon.

[Harovan]

Here you go.

Remarks:
- Difficulty is Monarch, regardless what the game says (it has been set as player property and thus, can't change)
- The first turn (4050 BC) has been skipped. The turn limit has been set to 541 turns, so the game ends as always 2050 AD.
- Nobody has a truly horrible start (all jungle and/or hills), and nobody a very sweet (like five cows)
- No island starts
- Resource availability to the starting locations has neither been checked nor changed

Have fun. Email me on complaints.

I'll remember this Sir Ralph!

Mark my words, I WILL remember this!

[Harovan]

Everyone has 5 cows within a certain radius. But this radius is larger than a city radius.

Seriously, between "truly horrible" and "very sweet" is enough room for nuances. Not all locations are equal. That wouldn't be civ. But all are playable.

[GhengisFarb™]

Just kidding.
