Power Block PBEM

[GhengisFarbâ„¢]

Sister Thread at MZO

I've noticed that the fewer actual humans involved the faster the PBEM moves. However, I also like to have as many civs as possible.

So, here's the proposal (Oh, great, GhengisFarb has another whacko idea), we have two players each play four civs. Player 1 chooses a civ, then Player 2 chooses a civ. Player 2 chooses a second civ, then Player 1 chooses a second civ. And so on.

Gameplay: Player 1's four civs play in sequence, then Player 2's play in sequence. This drastically speeds up turn play as each player can play four civs in sequence.

So, anyone willing to take me on? You can pick your first civ first....

If anyone else is interested we could have a couple of these going on and make some sort of Power Block ladder tournament or ranking system.

1) OPD vs GhengisFarb
2) UnOrthOdOx vs CerberusIV
3) UnOrthOdOx vs BigDork
4) Iron Jackson vs GhengisFarb
5) UnOrthOdOx vs GhengisFarb (Medieval Cap)
6) ZargonX vs CerberusIV
7) OPD vs ???

Still random starting locations? Or using Cultural linking to stay close to your civs perhaps?

[GhengisFarbâ„¢]

I would assume random everything, but am willing to compromise. Random everything that is, except the Wet setting.

Sounds like an interesting variation, count me in

OPD
1) Egypt

GhengisFarb
1) Ottomans
2) Scandinavians

Now you need to pick your second and third choices.

UnOrthO, any chance you could set up our game? You interested in an UnOrthO vs Ghengis set?

[CerberusIV]

If you are looking to set up several of these, I would be interested.

Power Block Players
GhengisFarb
UnOrthOdOx - posts a lot, but doesn't appear to have the guts to play.......
OPD
CerberusIV

I can play more than just one of these if people are interested.

Persians and Ironqious

[UnOrthOdOx]

Yeah, I can set it up.

Random settings, or you guys want something special?

Cerebus, care to play? You can have first pick, and GF can set up our game.

[CerberusIV]

OK. First civ Persia.

One thought. It is probably easiest to turn cultural conversions off. I don't really want my own cities trying to flip between my civs.

hmmmn not really,

I'd like all 4 nations to be on the same continent though and close together and on the same continent as Farb.

I've never even cracked open the editor, but have experience with mapping for some RTS's. I am sure I could edit the starting locales on a pangea if that's what you mean...


Judging from above, I guess I get two picks now?

China and Babylon.

[CerberusIV]

Cerberus

1 - Persia
2 - Japan
3 - Carthage

UnOrthOdOx

1 - China
2 - Babylon

UnOrthOdOx to pick two more.
