Great Armada PBEM "Drake"

[McMeadows]

The Scots would have suited my name pretty much...

Beta, minor name suggestion, Prins van Beta (van der, van de, van den .... all means "from the". van ... "from". Prins = Prince). To reveil my true identity , my last name litarally translates as "from the Meadow".

Aquataine has a rather French tongue to it.

I've got no experience in this scenario. I'll take North Africa as Al-Meadaemla. I hope it does not really translate.

[Paddy]

is that right old chap

[Beta]

Thanks McM... the new name it is.

OK Lou - have you tracked down the others?

(Ok - so you see folks - it is not THAT easy setting up a new game....)

[snoopy369]

Yes it is, Beta.

And I notice you left me off the list. Worried I'm catching up to you?



I'd love to play though, i love naval games.

Any chance I can have Spain?

my user name @ yahoo.com

Since Aqualung did not reply/confirm, you can definitely have Spain. So your main enemy will be England.

2 more to go.
Weird thing is that nobody wants either French side, albeit they are nice, central and have access to some very nice units.

@ McMeadows : North Africa is also in locked war with Spain. I just wanted you to know it.

@ Beta: nope, sorry I had not seen. Sending them a PM right away.

@ all: seems to be a local (=Poly) preference to get your own name. At CFC we usually keep ou nicknames or the scenario leaders (Philippe II, ELizabeth, ... here).

I know I am not playing them either but just because I play France in another PBEM and want to try a complete different civ.

[McMeadows]

Thanks for the warning LL. Locked war means we can't negotiate peace?
Here we usually play with our nicks as well. As I'm not familiar with the scenario I chose to play at the side line instead of taking up the central position. Nothing against France in general.

Al-Meadaela

[LouLong]

Actually it would not be too much of a problem if I removed the locked war for you. As long as you understand who your main enemy is !

1889 is PBEM-full.

[Makahlua]

Sorry Mak, but Prins van Beta beat you to the Dutch. What's your Dutch connection?

[Makahlua]

Oops, I'm blind

So it's...catholic france or protestant france eh? Eeeny, meeny miny.........Protestant France (aka Plain France)

Great-(or was it great-great?)grandfather was Dutch - of course being American I'm a typical Euro melting pot

[LouLong]

Ok, only need 1 more player for the League.

[Modo44]

Alright, you asked for it. Give me the French, and let's get it going.

And please do remove the locked alliance. This way some backstabbing might occur. I understand that faith seemed to move those people, but let's not forget power.
power, Power, POWER.

[snoopy369]

Hmm. I actually would probably be against removing the locked alliance, but it depends on what you want out of the game. I like playing this sort of game for a nice round or three of straight-up combat, so the diplomacy would hurt it for me.

[Modo44]

What diplomacy do you mean? The "our troops just took three of your cities, mistah former ally" kind of diplomacy?
But it's fine with me. If you want straight up war, you Shall HaVe IT!

Poor, poor Maki.

[snoopy369]

lol yes

Basically I like playing scenarios like this for the war, not the diplomacy (which I play regular Civ3 games for). But, I don't mind if the rest want unlocked alliances.
