15-23 GMT works best here.

[sabrewolf]

ok, and which name for your 2nd civ?

[1889]

1215 is a good second name. If its not too much trouble would you make Pakal the Great Instigator of the Mayans. Smoke Jaguar is a name that just bugs me.

[sabrewolf]

updated... now only aqua is missing, then i'll start the game

[Aqualung71]

Ok, I'll breathe new life into Thriller.

Best turn times for me are GMT 12-17.

- battle results are to be published
- every players marks the playing of his round by posting a short message in this tracker thread, ideally with the year number the next player is playing.
- public agreements and alliances are to be held. if they have to be cancelled, say so 10 turns prior to the breaking of the contract, or buy yourself out of the agreement.

note:
defend your cities!

happy civving!

Not sure that I fully understand this one. For example, if someone wants to declare war on a trading partner they have to say so 10 turns before?

The rest all looks ripping!

[1889]

Naval transport chain is not to be used I assume.

Can I have a quick example of the minimum info required of a combat report.

Pakal is leader of the Mayans.

no, but if A allies with a player B to gang up against player C, B doesn't have to help fighting... but if he wants to backstab A, A should at least have a little warning.

tech partners depends on the agreement. if you said "i'll give you alphabet now, and you'll give me mysticism later"... that's an agreement. but agreeing on "we'll trade anything" isn't

but if you dislike it, we can reduce it to 5 turns?

in the tournament rules it's specifically forbidden. i however think it's too much micromanagement anyways and it's very difficult to check (maybe at the end of the game some tests can be done, but i hope that's not neccessary )

anyway... play it like good ice hockey hard, but fair...

i for one, don't want to get my reputation ruined... it can harm in other PBEMs... so if i promise something, i'll hold my promise..

[sabrewolf]

1889, what did you mean with "pakal"?

Not that I would intend to do so, but doesn't giving advance warning of a backstabbing make the backstabbing rather pointless?

My logic agrees with what you're saying regarding alliances.....like, "look I don't really want to continue this war against our common enemy so in x turns you're on your own"....but surely you can't ask for warning on invasions.

As for trade deals, they last 20 turns and if someone cancels it then they are not to be trusted again, correct?

[sabrewolf]

ok, that's true

so ok... backstabbing WITHOUT warning is allowed... but you'll feel the other player's wraths in all the other games you're in against them

fair play - if you can call wars "fair" - is ok and won't give you a reputation blow

[sabrewolf]

damnit, i should read messages more carefully!

because you don't see what happened during the other person's turn, a battle report is the only way to know without having to count all your units every turn.

i see it something like this

- "bopped you wandering scout"

or battle reports:

- "my 4 spearmen took out your 2 tanks and razed washington. 2 of my spearmen died."

or:
- "my trebuchets destroyed your walls and barracks and 1 pop-point."
