true... that's why i think i've come off that idea. if anyone wishes a expansionist civ, they can have it... etc. i'd say everyone choses a favourite civ and if there's no collisions, off we go

As were in the middle ages for this why not have a few defensive units too, enough to garrison your four settlements, and a scout each too.

agreed... 4 settlers, 4 spearmen, 4 workers, 1 scout/horseman

Accelerated production might be good but not sure how AI will cope with this, and at a higher diff level will the AI if it does cope well with Accelerated production, will we be able to compete as it spits out units with its huge production advantages.

starting with 4 settlers each, we don't need to worry too much about the boring starting phase, so we can go with "normal" production. but don't forget: you take longer to build the units too

what level would you people want? emperor, demigod or deity? (preferably not sid )

Close, but you would still be restricted by the other communication rules- with no embassy, you couldn't ask for a tech you didn't have- "masonry". Unless you had Map Making, you also couldn't refer to an item by direction- "to-the-west". And of course, if the unit were in a stack, it would need to include it's proper identity in the text field to avoid the disguising exploit. Just continuing to push the envelope here people...

i saw you asking for it in the "30% Iron Civer Tournament" and originally wanted fast reserve players to play this. if not enough are found, i'll volunteer...

I want to start one and play in it to test out how Elimination Mode works in PBEM. It would be seperate from the games for the reserve players.

CM, its for four players on a tiny pangea with no AIs. Are you a third?

[jshelr]

Are we started on this one?

[sabrewolf]

jshelr, which one are you talking about?

if it's the 4-settler-medieval-jump-start one - we're missing some feedback

[Rommel2D]

Conquerer wants in on the Accel Prod/Elimination game. With sabrewolf, we'll need one more. ChrisiusMaximus? jshelr? Any interest?

[Redboy]

what about me?

[ChrisiusMaximus]

No for the elimination, accelerated production game Rommel, I am already commited to three games one being the game discussed here, and have lots of others on the go.

I need to see how things go for a while before I commit to any more games just yet, but many thanks for asking

I would let Redboy in hes keen and reliable

[Rommel2D]

I just mentioned jshelr and CM because they seemed to hint at interest. Redboy, you want the final spot? Four players, no AI, Tiney Pangea, Iron Civer exploit/etiquette, Accel Prod in Elimination Mode. If so, I'll start it up sometime tomorrow...

[sabrewolf]

elimination? i wanna da greek!

[ChrisiusMaximus]

A wise choice sabre

[sabrewolf]

or the guys with warriors with defense 2
or the carthagians

or ze germanz (archer rush, hehe )

[antonisjk]

I wanter if there is any place left for me to participate.
I am totaly new with pbem but I would like a lot to play. I have PTW 1.27f.

[sabrewolf]

welcome to apolyton

i doubt you'll find anyone who will start new PTW-PBEMs, Civ3 Conquests is just so much better! i think i speak for everyone if i recommend buying C3C

[Rommel2D]

I prefer Conquests also, but if you look in some of the threads that have 'PTW' in the title in this forum, you'll find people that have been starting new PTW games recently...

Oops, forgot to mention that per tournament convention, the elim game will be random tribes. Ya gotta know how to play the cards you're dealt. So... Redboy?

[sabrewolf]

rommel, btw for the schedule of the elim-game: i recommend playing rommel2d --> chrisiusmaximus --> sabrewolf --> redboy. that's the same order we play the WW2-game
