Easygoing C3C PBEM game

[Paddy]

5th player, Chrisius Maximus is looking for a game, he is in the UK, so on your time frame

or to stay with the 4 of us: we each have two civ's that play consectutively. Thus the 8 civ spots get filled and we get a new game. That could be good in any of the above I have been watching a game like this, and the players have had quite a lot of fun

I too like the box of Chocolates idea best... if we could mix that up with the 8 player idea... I would really like it.

I like the sound of that paddy.

FINALLY on to shogun.

Andydog please remember to send it on to my yahoo address

[Shogun Gunner]

Mickeyj, I did not receive the save. Can you resend? Thanks.

[Mickeyj]

Damn, Apologies for that guys I'm trying to use a pay as you go dial up connection until my dsl is installed next week, it seems to have problems sending attachments.

If I can't get it off tonight i'll bring it into work tomorrow to send

[Andydog]

Mickeyj, I've re-sent the latest SAV to your yahoo addy, just to make sure we're playing with the correct one.

Paddy, I also like the sound of this 8 civ 4 player concept. So heck, why don't we get that going and also another normal game with Chrisius Maximus?

Shogun, can you handle another few PBEMs?

[Mickeyj]

I'm very keen on the two civ idea especially if we play random civs. When set up would we be playing our turns consecutively? That way the game-turn-sends shouldn’t take any longer than other games.

Paddy can you recommend any links where we can read up on this?

[Paddy]

I have not seen the PBEM game for some time, yet the idea has been building in my mind. If I find which game it is, I will leave a link.

The whole idea is to play them consectutively. Speed will be amazing for an 8 player game.

Shogun, I like the idea of the two games as well.

[Andydog]

So what you'd do is give yourself a character name and then name your two random civs such that your character name is included. For example:

Random Civ 1: "Lord Andy's Dwarfs"
Random Civ 2: "Lord Andy's Hobbits"

with all the associated adjectives, nouns etc.
It would be like one leader controls two races, each race with their own attributes, UU, etc.

I like it!

Keen to get started as soon as Shogun confirms his interest!

I assume the other normal game with Chrisius Maximus will be random also?

[Paddy]

ok so a thread has been started for us to get the new game going...

The Box of Chocolates

[Paddy]

as to the game with Chrisius Maximus...

well if the box of Chocolates is Random, can we chose our Civs on this one

[Andydog]

Sounds good to me. I'll give the Greeks a go if nobody else want's them.

[Paddy]

Ok, so we need a name for the 5 player game then

[Andydog]

We could name it after a fictitious world. If we aren't going for randomness, there are a few worlds we could choose from:

"Rigel VII" - warm, dry, young, 60% water, continents
"Argelius" - warm, wet, old, 70% water, arch
"Risa" - warm, normal precip, old, 80% water, pangea

Here are some more challenging worlds:

"Dagobah" - warm, wet, young, 80% water, pangea
"Hoth" - cold, wet, old, 60% water, arch
"Triskelion" - warm, dry old, 60% water, arch
"Vulcan" - warm, dry, young 60% water, pangea
"Rura Penthe" - cold, dry, young, 80% water, pangea

[Mickeyj]

I'll give the Celts a go.

I think an entirely random world would be good.

[Paddy]

"The world of Hoth"

- Our choice of Civ, but with everything else random???
