Now I am playing with sp3 and 3 AI. On the bright side we made it from 4000BC to 2670BC today.

I knew I was working all weekend (7 hr shift) but we had some people out sick and I couldn't be sure if I would be able to get in any game time at all other than on Thanksgiving and then a turn or two per day.

Still Dissident and Shamus have to choose their civs. Then it can be set up. There should be no AI in the game. If we aren't 8, better to lower the map size to standard.

Thoughts?

See ya tomorrow, going to bed now. It's 2am here.

Sorry fellas for the delay,...got pulled for a 12 hr CQ at the barracks at the last minute. So far the game looks like this:
1.Shamus- sshafer@kc.rr.com Celts
2.miccofl- miccofl@miccofl.net Carthage
3.Delmar-????????????????? Chinese
4.Dissedent- ICQ 43787419 Undecided?
5. Selfbiased-Selfbiased@hotmail.com Babylon
6. Sir Ralph-sirralph_at_gmx_dot_com Egypt
7. Open
8. Open

Still need Dissedents civ choice and then will generate the first turn. Anyone object to 6 players on a standard map, 70% water/ Continents? Anything else I'm missing before we start?

[delmar]

Just don't forget to set accelerated production.

[self biased]

sounds good to me, sir.

[Harovan]

Agreed.

[miccofl]

Waiting patiently.

[Harovan]

I PM'd Dissident, as he seems to be back (he hadn't been here since Nov 28).

How we want to make 2 turns a day with this level of activity, is beyond me.

[miccofl]

It's a holiday weekend, none of my games have moved since Friday, other than the one we started on Saturday. Things should get back to normal pretty soon.

[self biased]

that, and i doubt he expected this to get off the ground as quickly as it has...

I always check my e-mail though.

I usually do the celts. But for something different I want to play the Ottomans

use Krusher3X@yahoo.com for PBEM's also.

[shamus62]

Looks like we are set:

1.Shamus- sshafer@kc.rr.com Celts
2.miccofl- miccofl@miccofl.net Carthage
3.Delmar-will send direct Chinese
4.Dissedent- ICQ 43787419 Ottomans
5. Selfbiased-Selfbiased@hotmail.com Babylon
6. Sir Ralph-sirralph_at_gmx_dot_com Egypt

Standard map, continents, 70%

First turn to Carthage. Delmar, please email miccofl so he has your address. Good luck everyone!

[Harovan]

Sweet

Looking forward to my turn.
