Heya, I was wondering if anyone would be interested in playing any form of a WWI PBEM.

Any form meaning:

• Starting from 4000 bc, but with the major combatants from WWI as players, and locked / semilocked alliances (ie if not locked then starting point alliance, but you can change if you want, but discouraged, as it's the point of the PBEM )
• Starting from AD 1870, or 1890, or 1900, or 1910, with or without a fast city start (ie prebuilt cities), with or without the map of europe, with or without locked alliances
• A WWI Scenario, if there is a good one out there, again with or without locked alliances

I'm up for anything, tending towards playing at least in the industrial era, if not on a real map etc. I haven't had the time to look into scenarios, although at worst we could take the Napoleonic conquest and hack that into a WWI scenario, since it has roughly the same combatants and map ...

Any interest??

I'm interested.

I think and industrial start 1870 with locked alliances, but then again if there is a scenario..............

[snoopy369]

I saw the scenario you pointed to ... it wouldn't work, as wouldn't most, because it has too many civs in it ... that's the problem, few people make Scenarios with 8 civs only for WWI ... but maybe just a randomish map with cultural locks ... or perhaps a 'made' random map if someone wants to make it (I guess I could, for that matter, since it might as well be visible to all) ...

snoopy you know Im down dog..umm..well..Im up for it..well..I wanna play and play often

[snoopy369]

Hmm. Well, let's get an idea going of what we're going to be doing ... I didn't get a chance to play tonight, but i'll try soon.

Civs:
Germany
France
England
Russia
Austria-Hungary
Ottoman Empire
(optional) America
(optional) Italy

We can play 6 player, or 8 player. Obviously we're leaving out some important civs either way, but I think the 6 are the key players. Italy and America both factored in later in the war but weren't players to begin with as neither could decide what side to be in on - we would leave both unallied.

Locked alliances of course would be england-france-russia and germany-austria-ottomans, although we could leave russia and ottomans unallied if we wanted to have some possibility of diplomacy - russia hated germany, but wasn't real good friends with the other 2 either ...

[Grandpa Troll]

Ill take Germany if no one else wants

6 would be great but I hope we get six dedicated players

I'll take probably Russia or France, depending on what else is taken by the rest of you all... but I'm not real picky. Especially if we're not starting out with the original setup ... (ie equal starts )

Well I'm new, but I would love to be involved. I have no idea of the qualifications for this though. I currently play C3C. I have Civ3 installed along with C3C. I currently play C3C on Regent, that's as high as I have gotten, but so far I'm in the lead! So I'm looking to move up a level.

I use Windows XP (Home) and I have a broadband connection. I'm not sure if there's anything else I would need to have to play, besides skill!?

If you need another player please let me know. I don't care which Civ I get.

Thanks!

Wib, all you need is the ability to play at least five times a week (ie once a day, roughly, during the workweek) and a desire to have fun! Good to have you on board!

[Wib]

Hey! I can certainly do that. I'm on the East Coast, USA, 9-5 job, so I can move every night.

Thanks snoopy!

welcome aboard

[Wib]

Hi Grandpa, I'm in Richmond. Grew up in Carolina though. Northeast corner near Ahoskie? Do you know that little area? Not much to it really, but nice enough for a scrawny country boy to grow up in.

Thanks for welcoming me in!

Now this looks like fun. Any chance I could join in too I have an opening for a once a day game

wow a once a day game, that certainly sounds interesting
can you give some advice on how this process works

[snoopy369]

Um, it's where each of us play a turn once a day ... and nobody forgets about their turns for weeks ... um ...
