The Second Coalition - 22 June 1799

I'm easy also (and yes, I mean it that way) Seriously, like Wittlich, I would go with the majority.

I offer up two things to discuss:

Its possible with even a human player playing the French, France will still fall quickly under the combined weight of the allies. So, if we play this scenario again, it should be with NO locked alliances.

I'm also open to another scenario or an epic game...however...if we go this route, let's do something unique and unusual. I don't want to play a small map, average temp, average moisture, continents, 4 mil years ago, avg barbs, with everyone picking their fav civ. Let's try capture the flag, or regicide...or an unusual map situation, whatever...something creative.

Bottom line, this is a great group of PBEM'ers, so I would welcome the opportunity to play another round with you all.

We are getting some ideas now...

Hi,
Ive talked to Paddy a few times about an all seafaring game on a huge edited archipelogo map.

By huge I mean 300 x 300 or bigger and with vast strings of islands some closely grouped others isolated.

Of course the map has to be random or one of us will know its entire layout, but the size is easy enough to edit.

Its just a rough idea at the moment and I would appreciate feedback and suggestions on how to improve the concept.

I too have really enjoyed this game and look foeward to the next adventure with this crew

This idea sounds faaaaantastic.

Map size is o.k. as well. We´ve got 7 seafaring civs in the game (Byzantines, Carthage, England, The Netherlands, Portugal, Scandinavia and Spain).


As you know I was only the substitute for Dialectic2003 in this game so if I may join in as a 7th player I´d love to play another game with you fantastic guys.


-> Save to Bongo

I discussed another idea with Paddy a couple of weeks ago. An epic game with a slightly modified archipalego map. Modded so the AI (3?) start close to each other and have their own good island. Humans start further out, on smaller islands. All islands within reach of triremes and plenty of naval chokepoints.

Or just a good old random everything epic game


Oh, finished off one of Gustavs modern musketmen.

[Shogun Gunner]

I like a modified arch map with lots of islands, geography detail...SURPRISES (like the naval chokepoints, etc). That sounds interesting.

Maybe I haven't worked with the editor enough to know.... you can set the parameters and features without knowing how the map looks?

[ChrisiusMaximus]

@ Shogun Im not sure about that but I bet Paddy would know!

Save sent to the Sultan Sep 1802

[Paddy]

Yes you can do all the mods with out looking at the map...
but the map is just there,,,,,

you need to turn the mini map off prior to anything...
do all your mods..
then save it all
then generate the map
then save it again,,,
then get out of there,
and not open it again...

Sep, 1802AD Turn sent to Shogun.

[Shogun Gunner]

Okay, I'll play when I get home from work....

Wittlich, do you work from home???? Lucky dog.

Paddy, do you ever sleep? Sleepy dog.

Well, I'll cast my vote for the current idea....if everyone agrees, we could get started quickly. Of course, we will still finish the current game... Someone's gotta capture Gustav from his hole in the ground

[Paddy]

Sleep, a mild by-product of a society that is transfixed with death...

@ Bongo:

There is a problem with your proposal of 3 AI. Due to the fact that only 8 players can participate in a PBEM you´ll have to kick out 1 (or 2 if you count me in too) of the players currently participating.

[Shogun Gunner]

Lack of sleep, the leading cause of double posting on 'Poly and misdirected unit orders in Civ

[Shogun Gunner]

Iron Jackson, the game is being modded, so the number of players can be increased when building the map/scenario.

I believe everyone is in agreement to keep EVERYONE together for the next game.

*EDIT* Just realized we are talking about PBEMs.... Is that 8 PBEMers a hard limit? Certainly we don't want to have any AI at the expense of players....
