Who else can fit in one more game ??

Also, as Ljube mentioned in the other thread, we should slow down research. What is the best way to do this?

[Ljube]

I'll take Greece.

The other European can be Spain, France or Scandinavia.

Or if the other European wants to be Rome, I'll take Scandinavia.

i believe you'll need to open the scenario file in the editor, then (with custom rules) go to the world sizes tab.

in there, there's a field called tech rate. for this game, the 'standard' world size setting has to get changed. the higher it is the slower the tech race. considering 16 civs/huge map the tech rate is 400, not sure how high we should have it for this game. 400 might be too slow

Ok, I'm very new to modding Civ3 (and PBEM), so just give me a number and I'll plug it in.

Greece, Germany and Egypt might be a close combination. Egypt and Greece are actually closer than Greece and Germany. But I think its all workable. Germany and Greece will be a good combination, something different than regular picks in world diplos.

Ok, I edited the map for 6 players and adjusted the starting positions and such. Here is the world map with all the starting positions indicated. If you want me to bump over your start a tad, let me know.

bump egypt one tile directly west please (on the west side of the river).

more of a cairo/nile start then a red sea coastal resort

I applaud your efforts at Map making..and without getting in trouble with 1889 for posting..without his permission thank you

It looks like only Zulu left so Ill go with them `

[OzzyKP]

Good choice.

Ok, Egyptian start moved. I picked a random number for the science modifier. I think 350. Lets hope that does it.

I adjusted the ship movement, added an attack to privateers, set the barbarian bonus to 0 (assuming we play monarch). So that should be everything. Here is the file. I'll start a story thread. Lets keep our out of character talk here, and reserve the story thread for, well, stories. And in-character negotiation and such.

Please be sure to check out other Diplogames if this is your first time playing one. Go check out HOTW2 or HOTW4, they are the best examples.

Ok, now how do we actually play PBEM? I've never done one before who starts?

if this is the correct timezones for everyone :

ChrisiusMaximus (GMT) Zulu
Ljube - (GMT +1) Greece
Modo44 - (GMT +1) China
Grandpa Troll (GMT -4) - Germany
OzzyKP (GMT -5) - India
smellymummy (GMT -8) - Egypt

then that could be the play order? to start it, play multiplayer, pbem, use scenario (world map), fill in players, start

btw my email is sm at inethighway dot com

[smellymummy]

also dont forget to take out references to units and anything else added to the text/ files, otherwise we'll all need those files too

[OzzyKP]

I'm at OzzyKP at AOL dot com.

What was that last bit there? I added a balloon unit, so what does that mean?
