Mesomamerica PBEM

[tommynt]

I d like to start off a PBEm with 2 other experianced players who can play their turn every day at least (sure there can be weekend breakes or so).

I d like to do this Mesoamerica scenario with 3 civs, quite even starts for all (or not? played it only once in SP long time ago)

Forgot how the map looked like so if u also dont know this scen too well we could have some surprising fun.

PLs post if u wana play i d like to start off asap

not sure if contacts should be allowed or not - open for any suggestions

so lets have war ^^

OK lets get it on - I tryed to start it off - but I d like to be aztek - as I m Maya in another PBM starting off atm too - I d like to try diff civs

So Grandpa if u OK with Maya pls start it off

and send it to Modo (Incs)

I couldnt do any settings like difficulty or so - so lets get it on as it is - pls include the Computers to have some fun with dem.

[Modo44]

I can edit the scenario to change the playing order - that is done very easy. Tell me, and I will.

The difficulty can be set as well. You need to select it before loading the scenario in the PBEM Setup screen. The game then says something weird, but it remembers your choice correctly.

thx for your help Modo - I dont care if Grandpa get it of - or u just change play order and get it off.

If u really can do easily - pls just do so - thank you very much -

I just wana try different civs and therefor not being maya gain - just played the 1. turn with maya - I like the start very much - but wana see the start of another civ too

I think a easy difficulty level ll increase fun - dont like it so much to be stuck with a 40t research for 1 science - at least in a MP game - so the default setting could be OK - but if u wana increase it by 1 level thats ok for me as well - I can wait 6 turns for Pott instead of 4

I really think this could be a gg as u 2 respond really fast and I wont screw my 2nd PBM as well.

Just tryiung to start of a AU, LA5 3 out of 6 guys never responded to anything - dont think that i ll get my save more often as once a week - game will take 3 years or so - so how shall a 3 year game work???

[Modo44]

I have the scenario file modified, so that the Aztecs are the first. Not having your e-mail, I am posting it here. Now you can start the game. Choose whatever difficulty level you prefer.

As to games being slow... well, some just are. Playing in jsut over 20 PBEMs, I get more than one save each day, which is good enough. IF you play in few games, you will be waiting for saves - naturally. Scenario-based ones seem to go a bit quicker than epic games.

EDIT: The right file now.

[tommynt]

ups, looks like u did send me a diff version of senkuko not mesoamerica - didnt we want to do mesoamewrica??

[Modo44]

Sorry, my bad. Did that one for another game.

The new attachment should be the right scenario.

[tommynt]

Ya, do we allow contacts?

Only with Computers or also with each other?

That d be the only special rule I can imagine.

I d be intersted how bargaining with u guys work -

Contacts with each other as in the game. Once we meet, we can use e-mails to talk about deals and stuff. Before that, each to his own.

Would you like to limit contacts with the AI somehow? I imagine they will be pushovers, as in most PBEMs...

There is one special thing in this scenario. Do not clear the Jungle. It works as Grassland for most purposes, so just build upon it. It is actually the best land you can get.

[tommynt]

Grandpa dont believe this jungle story - get this stupid jungle down - irigate it and and never switch government!!!
Modo wana screw u

I d allow contact with Computers - if not they ll attck in the beginning - dont like that so much

But if there is any good reason not to allow contact with dem - i ll believe you
