Australasian pbem-sign up

[Paddy]

Celts are fine

when do we start?

or do we wait for more interlopers to wander by and leave their 2 bob's worth

[Bogor]

We start when everyone sends in the required info...hint hint

[Paddy]

maybe you need to email or PM them to get there civs and settings...

or go with Random for them

lets party

[Bogor]

pm's sent to Beta & Aqualung.

[Paddy]

Ahhh I thought Rowick was the other Australian playing

Beta was interloping

[Bogor]

ahhh, ic, oh well just waiting on Aqualung then

[Beta]

Bogor - many thanks. Paddy is right. I am a colonial from the other end of the Empire. (ie Canada). I am more than willing to play if you need me, but there would appear to be a plethora (fabulous word) of capable and willing players from down under.

Have great fun with the game.

Where do I find out how quickciv works? And why are we playing this version, with a limit of only 135 turns?

[Paddy]

not sure to answers for either of these questions

happy hunting

please let me know when you find out

[Bogor]

Hmmm, we're playing quickciv because I suggested it in the original post & nobody objected or suggested any other type of game.

If you load up quickciv it will give you a description of how it works on the scenario information blurb. Also once the game is launched you can check the civolopedia for details.

Quickciv is basically AP civ on steroids. All units & buildings & wonders are like half price, workers work super fast, there is no despotic food penalty, techs are cheaper & there are only 135 turns because thats all it takes to get through to future techs, & settlers cost 3 pop points.

It works very well in pbem as your civ develops very quickly, what you have to watch out for is quick redundancy of units, upgrading is very important & also it's easy to earn money, as improvements are done so fast & your cities grow so fast.

I suggest you all try a couple of games SP, but note that the AI isn't really geared up for quickciv & is thus very easy to beat. Note that Agr becomes an average civ trait due to the removal of the despotic food penalty. So if you all would like to restart & pick different civs thats cool, or you could just use it as a learning experience.
Quickciv really is an excellent well balanced, fun scenario well worth learning. & Korea rocks in Quick civ!
