Whereas, I departed the PTW Classics game much earlier than anticipated, , and;

Whereas, it is summer and a lot of pbem's have slowed, ,and ;

Whereas, the classic civs are still some of the most interesting,, and;

Whereas, I finally got around to seeing Troy the other night,, and;

Therefore be it determined that a new C3C Classics game is starting.

This will be a seven player game; myself and 6 others. (I am not a huge fan of the four player tourney style of games. My most interesting games have been the 6 and 7 player games. And 8 just seems to be too much, for some reason. Who was that 8th player anyway? )

Your civ choices are:

Babylonians
Greeks
Romans
Persians
Hittites
Sumerians
Carthaginians
Byzantines

The map will be pangea, 80% water (the stringy one). Standard map size.

Temperature and climate all moderate. Age 4 B.

Monarch. Raging barbarians. Normal victory conditions.

I have chosen the Egyptians.

Come, pay homage to your Pharoah!

If you are interested, in addition to your civ choice - (first come first served basis) - please post your prefered playing times so I can set up the optimal play order.

Sumerians

I vote to keep it to seven players, maybe even six.

I usually dont go for more than 5 myself. Too much chance of it dying.

[conmcb25]

I would also prefer if this was a "modded" game."

That way if there is another patch the likelyhood of ease of upgrade would be better.

[jshelr]

Sounds like fun but I had better pass on this one. Too many going on to play them correctly. Thanks

[ricketyclik]

Interested.

Romans

0900 - 1300 GMT

[snoopy369]

Greeks

um, sometimes 6am cdt (12noon gmt), usually late evening cdt (0400 gmt or a bit before), sometimes earlier than that ...

[Wittlich]

Sure.. I'll give it a spin... Persians if you please.

[conmcb25]

I am usually playing late evening North America time.

Welcome rickety, snoopdog and wittlich

[Beta]

That's 5 in total. 2 more and its a game.

[BigFree]

I'll take Babylon.

[MFCamillus]

Sounds like fun. From what is available I would like to try Carthage.

Normal time to play is 1130-1300 GMT with a possibility of 0200-0400 GMT also (though spotty)

You just got em.

Welcome BF and MFC.

Lets get this going. Is someone doing the map for us????

Again, I would prefer a "modded" game. That way IF there is another patch, the likelyhood of compatability is greater.

Maybe Rhoth would do this one for us as well?????

[Beta]

Pharoah Betamax III welcomes you to this game. (and no wise cracks about my technology being obsolete. Betamax was far superior to VHS. )

And yup - I will ask Rhoth to do the set up.

If we are modding it - anything in particular folks want?

I say keep it simple

make sure the map isn't screwed up (one civ gets an island start, the resources are all screwed up) place the Civ's, and we play.
