Don has left the building PBEM, thread 2

How many player do we want then, and on what world size?

5 players on a standard map is too few..

[Paddy]

ahh but that keeps the game speed happening

[bongo]

Oops I was a bit ambigous there...what I meant was that with 5 players we should probably play on a small map.

I think a small map can go even up to 6 players

[Johann Moritz]

standard is great for big calm empires, while small would be very warmonger, I think.

I'll go with the majority

EDIT: why don't we connect to icq to chat faster?

[Paddy]

happy to go with the flow

my only point is - the more players the slower the game

[bongo]

Very valid point indeed Paddy.

I would say 4 players, small map would be ideal, 5 would also work, but that is maximum.

[Paddy]

so do you have any ideas on a 5th person

[bongo]

Not really, gotta be someone whose availabilty fits in with us europeans.

Talk to you later, weekend now, back sunday

[Paddy]

hahahaha

did you ever get to play 2nd coalition

[bongo]

yeah, but I didn't get time to write some propaganda afterwards.

A bit futile anyway as the rest of you are busy warring

[bongo]

Should we start another game btw?

Temp Player list:
Bongo
Paddy
Johann
IJ?
