PBEM with a twist (another one)

[Hot_Enamel]

So far..

Militaristic = 0
Commercial = 4
Scientific = 2
Religeous = 2
Expansionist = 2
Industrious = 0

So commercial is the worst trait ??

They are my favourite !

Will that make you choose another civ ?

[Tiberius]

I don't think so

Not necesarily. It depends very much on the UUs. For example, the english have an awesome UU.
Which reminds me: what are the map settings? Pangaeea?

Guys, the last couple of posts gave me a very good laugh! This game will sure be lots of fun!

Betahound escapes again!

but not for long...

Betahound gets to play as the Mongols.

That means the only UU that is arguably worse than the unit it is based on and more importantly the major handicap of the ugliest leaderhead in existence!!!

(I don't know what Betahound actually looks like so no offence meant. )

[CerberusIV]

The one thing our choices seem to clearly say is that industrious is never a poor trait.

[Beta]

Mongols! Great! I thought for a minute there you were going to give me the Egyptians. Whew. OK - if you want to change your mind and my civ, go ahead. I'll let you.

Then again - there is something to be said for being the ugliest ....

(THanks Cerberus...)

Well, let's get this parade of dog civs on the road!!!

[CerberusIV]

Betahound, Cerberus, Tiberius....is this game going to the dogs.

Hey, I even have the only unit with a dog!

[vondrack]

Well, I guess we are ready to go. Diss?

There is one more thing I would like to discuss. Do we allow "outgame" contacts? I mean, do we consider it okay to, say, reveal/exchange minimaps or give hints where someone else should go to find us?

I am asking the question, because in the PtW demogame, minimap trading ended up being part of the game... However, I do not really like that very much and would prefer having to contact others ingame prior to getting ANY information from them. As if it was some real world...

I will be okay with either way, just wanted to know what others think of this issue...

[Beta]

I definitely prefer NO out of game contact - until two civs actually meet. Then it should be allowed, as it becomes useful for hammering out trade details. But prior to that - I say no contact - and no mini-map trading.

There were a good set of rules, or guidelines that were put together for pbem play. I think it is in one of the topped files in this forum. It also said no out-of-game contact until civs had met in the game. And no out-of-game alliances as well, if I recall.

[Tiberius]

We definitely need out-game contacts, as I refuse completely to accept in-game meetings with GhengisBetaHound

[CerberusIV]

I have no firm views on this. I would be happy to restrict out of game contact to sorting the details of in game deals only.

20 gold gained on every horseman that you upgrade.
I would not call that bad.

[Flandrien1]

I agree.
No deals until you meet each other in-game.
