epic game PBEM with multi-turn-sessions

[sabrewolf]

rommel, i like both your proposals!
if i'd have to chose, i'd want to try A)

as for difficulty level: in SP i can deal with emperor AI, in PBEM it get's harder because i can't chose when to fight my wars (alliances, etc). so i would massively prefer emperor to deity

[ChrisiusMaximus]

Both sound good and I like the no SGL's

[sabrewolf]

in the other PBEM game i got my first SGL ever... with writing... look out for a wonder build soon

[sabrewolf]

btw, CM & rommel:
the PBEM tournament could interest you... smellymummy, rommel and myself are already in it...

[sabrewolf]

duh, i'm so stupid! recommending rommel the tournament, after he's the organiser

so, anyone interested in something more or are we going to be too busy with the tournament?

[Rommel2D]

Yeah, I'm too busy with the exploit list right now. Maybe next week after the games get rolling we can set something up here...

Have you got any further with setting up those other games we were talking about in the other thread sabre ?

no, i havn't as i'm not really sure, what we should do. i'm somehow tempted to go for an even faster game (where people who're available longer and at similar times like me... so basicly you and probably smellymummy), otoh rommel2d may want to play a game after starting the tournament organisation (which would mean only 1 round per day... so probably that would be the game with 2 civs per person).

feel free to set up a game of your own.. there are already too many threads started by me in the PBEM-forum

[ChrisiusMaximus]

yes i was too lazy to dig up this thread sorry

I have signed up for a war in the pacific game at cfc, which Eliit has joined too.

I think the four we have in the highspeed game is a good crew and we are doing really well with that game IMHO.

that game at CFC has stalled already before the first turn has been completed

How about if the four of us you, smelly, Eliit and me play as a coalition against the Japs played by a Sid level AI ?

Thats if the other lads are interested

[sabrewolf]

sounds interesting!
but i've never played a conquests scenario (only started the regicide one in japan but didn't ever finish after getting the annoying FP-bug )

i guess smellymummy would play the yanks, CM commonwealth... which would leave china and the netherlands to eliitmees and me... ofcourse noone is forced to do so

50 turns will make this PBEM last around two months... which seems ok to me...

the others?

[ChrisiusMaximus]

I would not mind which nation I took and will have whatever is left, sabre if this is a go with smelly and Eliit, would you mind setting it up please ?

Although I spend lots of time online, I run my own business, and work all day on site then spend evenings doing paperwork etc inbetween turns. Plus putting my four kids to bed feeding the dog and doing the will of she who must be obeyed

Appreciate it if you could

[smellymummy]

interesting autobiography there

I don't know about the ww2 scenario, I only played it once, and I played as the japs

as for Sid level.. sounds hard

[ChrisiusMaximus]

well it might be fun and dont forget the AI will have four Human players gunning for it.

Im happy to lower the level down but thought it might be too easy for us ? Discussion !

[sabrewolf]

CM, 4 kids? have you got other hobbies too?
when you say "on site", that sounds quite like something in the construction industry. architect? engineer?

for the next 5 months i'm writing my master thesis and applying for jobs... so i'm more or less 18 hours online. of course, i can't play while my professor is looking over my shoulder, but i could take my notebook for a short walk
that was the short version of my current (eventless) life

sm, was that a yes or a no?
don't worry about sid. as we're all allies, we can communicate and coordinate our forces to take out the japanese city by city (what is actually the goal of this scenario? tactical nuke on hiroshima? )


edit: i'm off to bed now... an hour later than planned and two hours later than i should be

[smellymummy]

i'm up for it, with those settings. i was just saying, sid is going to be hard

[sabrewolf]

i PMed eliitmees as i don't know if he still reads this thread.

i really don't care which civ i play. i'd most like china, but i can live with any other option.

does anyone have a clear preference? or are we going to use random assigning?
