New Rated PBEM Game: R2_Islands

[quinns]

Hello,

Just to reiterate and transfer to a different topic (from "Want to start a new game... no idea...").

Player list:
As of November 30, 2000 ----
Solver (17.800) of the Spanish -- Blue;
Aaginor (21.000) of the Incas -- Orange;
King Thor (21.000) of the Indians -- Green;
Kralj Matjaz (18.000) of the Americans -- Mauve;
Quinns (18.900) of the Native Americans -- Purple;
-------------------------------

Solver, I'd be happy to generate another random scenario if you wish. (You mentioned that your version of CtP wouldn't allow scenario creation.)

Respectfully,

Quinns of the Native Americans

Proposed Settings:
50/50 map settings for all terrain and goods attributes, EXCEPT Continental / Islands which would be interesting at 80% Island (I think that would see more naval warfare, as you mentioned earlier, Solver). King Level. Raging Hordes. Blood Lust Off. Five Players. Game Name: R2_Islands. Rated Game (see PBEM Ladders).

I basically can set up a scenario now, but I dunno how to add these settlers instead of money. As soon as we have the players, I'll start.

If we keep the map random, I don't think we need the extra settlers. Just grant more gold, that way you can keep it hidden (in my opinion).

[King Thor]

Oh what the hell, I'll join.. .. a couple of extra PBEMs never hurt anybody!

Civ : Indian
Leader: Thor

[Aaginor]

Welcome on bord, King Thor!

That's fine, now I don't need no longer think about whoms butt I am going to kick ...

[King Thor]

If I were you, I'd be thinking more along the lines of.. "Who's gonna save my Butt from him?!?!"

[quinns]

Great! Let's start it up. Solver, I think Arthur should start first. Then move westward, (Sorry King Thor,I believe that puts you last). And I think we agreed to 5000 gold, 1 settler, and all the other settings above.

Sounds like King Thor and Aaginor are old enemies.

Let the games begin!

[Arthur]

If you haven't already pick a civ for me I'll be either the Germans or the Americans.

[Solver]

OK, I'll start the game as soon as I get home. But sorry, Arthur will be second, as the game starter always is first. Though if I find a way to modify it, I'll do that.

Solver,

In that case, I would just keep the rotation as before from east to west. I.e., it would go: Solver, Aaginor, King Thor, Arthur, quinns, (I don't think it's that's much of a disadvantage going last), just to keep the game moving smoothly. I think that's more important.

Regards.

[Aaginor]

Yes, I don't think that it makes much difference who starts first, but I'd recommend a few more settlers, for this will speed up the game.

And King Thor, my butt is safe enough to face the threat of your feet. I just see our first contact in front of my inner eye:

King Thors Warrior: "THERE! THESE EVIL INCAS!!! LET'S GO KICK THEM!"
King Thors wise councelor: "But this is an inca knight ..."
King Thors Warrior: "Anyway ... I'll go now and kick him!"

[King Thor]

.....continued from Aaginor's Post

King Thors wise counselor: "But Why?"

a)King Thors Warrior: "Because Inca's tremble at the mere sight of King Thors Warrior!!"

OR

b)King Thors Warrior: "I want a Peace of the Action, before Our Fusion Tanks, and Leviathans wipe em out!!"

OR

c)King Thors Warrior: "Because I ALWAYS kick their butt!!"

==========================================
I agree, turn doesn't matter, best thing to do is position everyone for the optimal time zones so that the game goes fast.

Also a couple more settlers would save us 20+ turns of building.

Aaginor: Just because I agree with you on the game stats doesn't mean I'm not gonna rape your women and set your cities on fire .

[quinns]

Such horrible talk of terrible acts already! And the game hasn't even started yet. Yikes! These guys must really hate each other .

As far as the extra settlers go. Fine with me, as long as Solver conveniently forgets what the map looks like after he places all the extra units

So what do we have? A total of 3 settlers and 3 warriors plus a total of 5000 gold each? Is that right? Fine.

[Solver]

Starting the game soon. Assume Thor's address is correct. So, I promise I'll forget the map. I'm waker than you all, it wouldn't even give me a serious advantage , but 3 settlers, 3 warries, and 5000 gold seems nice, as otherwise first turns are extremely boring.

Solver: Sounds great, I dont think it'll make too much of a difference to us if you take a glimpse of everyone's start. However, if you want to truly balance it out... take screen shots of the starting pos. of everyone and mail it to everyone. .. Not necessarily a good idea, but we tried it in another game and it worked out fine. Also yes, the email in my prefferences if correct, the civ is Indian, and Leader name is Thor.

Quinns: hehe.. Yes, I know me & Aaginor sound like we're at each others throat all the time, but I think we get along pretty well. We're just fighting for fun. Dont worry though, you'll see plenty Inca blood, either way.
