I'm certainly not in top form today, suffering from a colosal hangover after a bit of a pub crawl.

sounds like you live in paradise old chap

[Shogun Gunner]

Yes, I guess I do. I take it you are at work...

[Paddy]

yeah another 5 1/2 hours

I have been trying to only do half days
start at 11am till 5pm

but then I have clients that start at 6am and can only get into the city early in the morning

I really am trying to re educate them honest

[Paddy]

ok here is an invite for 3 players

hope you lads will join me

yet I so understand if you do not

at this time I have only posted this here to give you 3 the initial option to join


the idea:

a napoleonic game with a few twists

4 human players - the rest AI

initially no set war agianst any particlar nation
so all set alliances to be removed

we just be europe going about its business etc

the napoleonic pbem map will have some changes

- England will give over its Portuguese holdings to Spain

- England will give over its Gibraltar holdings to Spain, only if Spain is played by a human

- England will give over it's Naples holdings to France, Austria and the Ottoman

- Sweden will be split up between England and Prussia
thus Sweden is not a player in the game, but her land starts with two players straight up

- Settlers to be enabled

- Bombard option enabled on ships of the line
and possibly men-o-war
(opinions needed on this bombard issue, I just feel that with settlers on then we have plenty of growth / expension available)

you have the choice of the following nations:

France - Paddy
(I am having a Napoleon complex all over again )

Britain - Shogun

Russia - MickeyJ

Austria

Spain

Prussia

Ottoman

[Mickeyj]

Sounds great Paddy - I'll take Russia.


Hmm wonder why its not with you Shogun.... I even recall sending it twice as the first time i had your address incorrect. Anyways I'll resend when i'm home from work.

[Paddy]

Glad your onboard old chap

[Shogun Gunner]

I'm interested as well. However, a few questions.

Won't the AI players essentially be sitting ducks for the human players? I have never played a PBEM with a mix of human and AI players, but I have read there are some problems with this arrangement. I think the problems are in the "fair play" and "balance" areas.

That aside, I'm willing to give it a go. I'm interested in England, please. And fully admitting that I'm greedy and self-serving, I would like Man-o-Wars to have bombard capability.

How else am I going to soften up the Normandy beaches...oh sorry, wrong war

[Paddy]

Normandy beaches - ouch

The AI works well enough

and who said we would all be allies

welcome aboard

now we only need one more answer...
