Civ3 - Diplogame?

[Tokah]

I'm willing to host, with the warning my machine may not be the fastest. But my connection is fine.

[Rasputin]

as for victory conditions... would b eitneresting to see a "diplo" only game...

how people play to get other peoples votes would be very itneresting......

[Rasputin]

ok it wednesday , and things not looking the best for me to get some access for gaming... i still trying though ...

[OzzyKP]

So 10 am EST this Saturday (in two days). Everyone confirm please.

[Tokah]

I'm there.

[Ljube]

I'm out of Belgrade this weekend, but start without me, with Russians as AI.

Why?

It's simple and Ozzy and Raz know it. Everybody of us is bound to be away a few times and in a diplo game it's not a disaster to have the AI play even a whole session for you. Especially in the beginning.

In HOTW4 Raz was screwed up several times and Ozzy was screwed royally when the AI took over a session mid game. But they recovered.

A diplo game must flow

[OzzyKP]

Well if Raz is out too, then its definitely off. Can't be missing 2, that's too much.

[Ljube]

The reason why our test game was too slow:

If you try more people than 1 VS 1 make sure you all have a ping lower than 200 with all players and preferrably lower.


Also: the host player should have the most powerful computer (of the people playing), the host player suffers most slowdown and having a computer with alot of RAM can really help rectify this.

Everybody, list your PC configurations (special attention to the CPU and memory), operating systems and connection speeds.


If I play at work, I have CPU 3 GHZ, 1GB RAM and 512Kbit/sec.

At home it's 2.4 GHz, 512 MB RAM and abysmal 46Kbit/sec dial-up

OS is XP at home and work.

[Grandpa Troll]

Yeah

I am soo busy with all sorts of stuff in real world

Count me out completely

I have had no time to consider playing and seems like all others are kinda on same page too


I have too many committments to consider playing on any regular basius..so I did try as suggested but alas

Mas Problemos

NO BUEN

Chiao

Gramps

have you guys looked in the Democracy Games Forum

try out these two threads

Any interest in Multi-Team Democracy Conquests?

Continue the Feudal DG, except without the confusion?

as to the pbem threads in the pbem forum, well there is alot of interaction on the various games - you just need to be involved to find which threads have lots of chatter

for an example of setting up a pbem game have a look at this thread Clash of the Continents - set up thread

for an example of player interaction have a look at these two threads of the one game

The Second Coalition - 22 June 1799

2nd Coalition Continuation Thread

this was a great game with a lot of internal issues

games rule and I hope to see you all in there having fun soon

[Rasputin]

and the stranger pops in again from his extened abscence...


.................................................. ............


from my experience of pbem games there is very little diplomacy in the games, very little interaction. and very little posting of stories.

[Paddy]

extended

bloody hell mate

ya beers warm

ya steaks grown a multitude of legs and wander off...

and I think you will find that there is an iou for the 10 bucks left for you by the bloke who borrowed the 10 bucks left by the other bloke who took ya smokes

hope you enjoyed the indie

[Grandpa Troll]

so this game has never actually taken off?

sad..so sad..

[OzzyKP]

[Harovan]

I told you to play it as PBEM. Better slow progress than none at all. And Civ3 PBEM is alive and kicking.
