I'll play you bird, but online... You may want to get your revenge for what I am about to do to you in Happy Killers.....

..... Shame on you for attacking the peace loving Americans.....

Read dear Gav.

PBEM! Not MP.

If you insist, you have to wait until winter (or at least to the hottest time of summer).

Else I simply have too much work to do. I AM an IT-manager (that's true!) and my wife DO want the spare part of my time, cause there are always someone, who want to buy something..... And always just now!

That's why I normally play in the morning (05:30-07:00). No-one is sitting on my back that time of day (night).......

And one thing more.

I have seen some posts about premade maps.

NO premade maps for me. If you are going to claim yourself as one of the best, there IS NO BAD STARTING POSITION.

You should always be able to make the best out of nothing.

Personally, I have done this in Lung DM 3.2. - starting in ice and wood an wit a small river only. But I am not last.......

Bird I appreciate it is not easy to play online.... I always play random maps online.... I do not have the time for PBEM, but do have time for MP....

- I own and run a Property Development Business, but my offices are at home, so I can have periods of time when I can donate purely to CTP - BUT unfortunately not every day..... thus PBEM was a no go, and I had to drop my games.... One day we shall play!!

Comments?

Until now, I have been challenged by C-Matrix. Accepted.

Who will be able to make map based on Mod Lite?

I am very happy with those settings.

I fact, the only thing I am concerned about is the time we are going to spend playing that game (if gigantic map with water spots).
In the other hand, there will be more fun, so it’s all right.
I am not sure how many AI we shell have but the game will be definitely more interesting with more AI (especially on gigantic map).
I expect there will be at least one AI together with two Human players.
Perhaps we don’t have to play anything less then deity level if we want to give some chance to the AI.
I assume, the game isn’t for ranking so the details don’t really matter.

BirdMan, if the map will be random then the easiest way to start it is, if you just create that map and play first

I’ll be happy to play any settings as far as you don’t kill me on the first turn (If we play with MOD LITE) and my start location is not absolutely hopeless.

I doubt, if some body would like to moderate this game, but it would be definitely appreciated.

TheBirdMan v C-MATRIX

Turn 1 played.
The Mayans had a great start in The Magic region of the famous Gold Snow Mountains. The day was bright and full with hope for the future.

I challenge either/or BerXpert, Blackice, or Birdman to a one-on-one PBEM game using the Birdman settings above. (I have a little time now if any of you are up to it.)

BerXpert -- revenge is mine!

Blackice -- revenge is yours.

Birdman -- What is revenge anyway?
