  • 2-4 player games you are involved in:

    Waterworld - a 1 on 1 with Mickeyj in its early stages. A large archipelago map, random everything else, lots of AI’s.
    Rugby Finals – named by Paddy in very bad taste after the recent tri-nations rugby tournament. We all supported a different rugby team. Can’t remember who won. In this game we are playing 2 civs each against 2 AI’s on Sid level.
    Easygoing PBEM – 4 players random small map.
    Iron Civer C – what a lot of blood and guts there has been in this one!
    The Box of Chocolates – a random game on a large map, no AI’s, we each control 2 civs.

    5-8 player games you are involved in:

    The Five Continents of Eden – 5 players on 5 islands on a standard map, each island fairly equal in land and resources, each unique civ has 3 traits and 2 UUs.
    The Sundowners – 8 players on a massive map, each with primo starting land and 5 settlers.
    The World of Hoth – 5 players random standard map.
    6 players, 2/day – actually only 5 players, but the pace of this game has been outstanding.
    European PBEM – chugging along nicely given there are 6 of us.

    PBEM games played to completion:

    AU601
    2 Dog vs Wolf games
    1 game with Mickeyj (can’t remember the name of it)

    All 4 of those were only 2 player games.


    List your top 3 favorite PBEM games:

    Easygoing Game - the banter has been great and there appears to be lots of shady diplomacy going on. The quicker games are the most fun I’ve found, when they flow a bit more you don’t loose touch as quickly of your short, medium, and long term strategies.
    Iron Civer C – this game has been a bit of a roller coaster!
    6 players 2/day – nice, quick and very enjoyable.

          Iron Civer C is my only good PBEM experience so far..

          Eden has been stalled and stalled and held up, but it looks like it's moving again now.

              There was sort of an agreement to let you be in the lead so we wouldn't have to listen to your damned pirate whining.

              Besides, its not over 'till the fat lady sings, and despite our best scouting efforts, she is nowhere to be seen.

              • BTW - I propose closing the Census at midnight (pacific time), tomorrow night - 31st August. If you have not already done so, please provide your stats. If you know a fellow player who has not, please nudge them.

                I will then complete the spreadsheet and send it off to our highly qualified team of statisticians for dismemberment.

                  Ah, but I have a lock on her location. She could appear any minute.

                      Spencers game. 4 humans partial game blog and facts

                      We averaged 2-3 turns/day. Found and fixed numerous bugs as we raced along (I thought it would be the first PtW PBEM finished) until we finally hit a bug we couldnt fix and the game unfortunately died.

                      Team game 6 humans

                      Still ongoing. Slow play due to 6 players widely scattered around the world but fun so far.

                      ***PBEM*** 5 humans

                      The only game completed. Some very interesting diplomacy and IMO it showed some of the severe limitations of mp civ caused by the inclusion of rules that are required for the AI to function well.
                      We need seperate human-only games for MP/PBEM that dont include the over-simplifications required to have a good AI
