If there are no more takers in the next 24 hours then I suggest we go for the game.
Folks, I'll need your email addresses which I intend to email out with mine to all players in this game without posting on this thread. Can you pm them to me, please.

If acc. prod. is on, I join with the Sumerians
If not, Im out, since this will be to slow than (not enough to do every turn ).

OK Folks

Is Accel Prod on ? I think DanielXY has a point and I've seen this on other game threads, so I'd vote yes on that one. Please can I have a show of hands and comments on it ?

Thanks Modo, BTW, who has sent his email address,... still waiting for the others...

I don't know a thing about accelerated production - have never played with it. My concern here is, I don't know how much this option changes the game. I'm new to PBEM, so learning to deal with human players and with accelerated production in the same game might be too much. Or is it just a simple speed-up, not changing general strategies?

[DanielXY]

Well all it does is: You got half the shild cost for everything (improvments and units.. with 5 shilds net prod. you can produce a spearman in 2 turns for example) + your citys will grow at a doubled rate. (if you got the standard 2 food surplus a size 1 city will grow in 5 turns instead of 10).

So I dont think it changes strategy too much, just speeding up everything

[Modo44]

Ok, then I'm ok with it, I guess.

If you are still taking players - Babylonians.

And I suspect Grandpa Troll would be up for a game as well.

If Granpa Troll wants a game then please get with it.
Anyone who hasn't forwarded their email address yet, please do so now. I expect to get the game started this evening (6 hours time from now)

When I do so I'll post the start on this thread. I assume that we won't be including combat reports..... comments please if you disagree.

[self biased]

sounds good, although make sure everyone has access to everyone else's email addy. i'm going to assume no contact out of game until contact in game?

[Modo44]

The basic PBEM ethiquette is described in the Info thread in this forum ( here: http://apolyton.net/forums/showthrea...hreadid=112863 ). I think we can stick to those guidelines, except for the battle reports? What do you think, snakegurl?

[Beta]

Six is a good number for pbem. Just do NOT make it a large map. And no AI's. That heavily favours those that start near the AI.

Small map still works for six. Or standard. Personally - I would vote for small, but I am easy either way.

And I concur - no battle reports.
