Classic PBEM Trilogy: Recruitment

[ricketyclik]

Keygen's accelerated start mod for CtP is excellent. The game gets a boost at the start, effectively beginning you at turn 30 or so with 3 settlers, a few extra units and techs. If you can pull it off again Keygen, I'd vote for that.

Failing that, I'm open to the other 2 options as well.

I prefer c by far. IMO, even with accelerated production the first months will be boring.

[Reggy]

My preference would be:
C
B
A

Playing on line is preferred, but I realize that this may be hard to organize as we are all over the globe. While above is my preference, the difference in preference is minimal. I'll go with what ever is decided.

Keygen is right in that this can take some time. I'm currently in two AC games that I believe are already 2 years (maybe more?), both with Keygen (and he is kicking my butt in both as well!). Both games could still last a year or more yet!

I prefer accelerated production.
Online playing will not be possible with my slow dial-up connection.

[Keygen]

Sorry for the delay but there were some things that had to be done and decided...

I wait for a reply from a new participant and I will be able to launch game (b) with accelerated production.

Taking in mind your choices, Ormuzd and Kambei will not participate in game (b) but in (a) that will start sortly after because of the total number of participants unless something changes.

Game (c) will be the last to start.

Note that all participants will have to install US patch 1.21 for PTW and the no-CD patch for that patch in order to play since the european patch haven't been released yet! If you don't know where to find the no-CD patch email me and I will direct you to the correct link. Of cource for US versions of the game the no-CD patch is not necessary.

Man, I had forgotten about this game....it's been over a month since the last update!

[Keygen]

Aeroprinz, could you post your prefered order of the games you want to join? There are three of them...
And the highest level you've ever beaten AI.

BigFree, I was near to forget about it myself
Hope for the first one to be launched pretty soon

[Av8tor]

Keygen is there room for me?

[AeroPrinz]

The games I want to join
A
B

The highest level I ever beaten AI : Emperor

About accelerating the game:
A. Accelerated Production makes game unbalaced. because emeny can build units faster, but you can kill them with the same speed...
B. Mod is the best way.
C. Unfortunatly I can not play online...

Sure Nuke
Nice to see you here!
I didn't know you had purchased Civ3

Only you will be limited to games (a) and (c) as game (b) is full. I hope this is not a problem to you

I would prefer a mod too Aeroprinz but I haven't completed any. I find accelerated production fit in a deathmatch game and that is the reason I start this one first in case I will have a mod for games (a) and (c) ready by the time they start. As for the accel. prod. unbalancing the game that would be the same for all.

[AeroPrinz]

I see.
