what's this semi_acc mod?? i'll be looking for it in a few but i've never heard of it.
when will the game start and how often will it be run?

[Martock]

never mind about that semi file...i saw what Pin posted above and will get that file tonight. thanks!

[Martock]

one last thing, what do we need to run the scen other than semi_acc - i'm assuming the patch version 1.2 and the hack 1.2 is there anything else that we need to play the game?

[Pin]

nope

[Martock]

okie dokie then. i'll have to install CTP again into a different directory since the last time i tried that easy mod it didn't work for me...anyhow, i'll have it ready
by tomorrow. now this will be my first time playing a PBEM game since the early 90's so
hopefully all will go well. in what order will the game be played??

I think we should give it another day or two to see if anyone else wants to play. If no one else shows an interest by then, I think that five players is sufficient for a good game!

well we will use the 24h rule, that mean you have 24 hours to play the turn after the player ahead of you mail it to you... (nothing wrong with playing it faster then 24h )

[Pin]

the game will be played in following order:

1. Pin - norway + 1gmt
2. Krzysztof - poland +1 gmt
3. Stavros - germany +1 gmt
4. Krash - england 0 gmt
5. Martock - usa - 5 gmt

if we get more players they will go in the turn play were their timezone says they fit..

i am hoping everyone have or will have icq, this way it will be easier to get a fast play early (get the 10-20 first turns fast played)

yup i'm in the US and i'm -5:00 GMT (eastern standard). i thought u wanted us to list the nation we wanted to play which for me is the native americans.

[Martock]

one last thing i do have ICQ = 2186913

[Stavros]

OK. I'd like to play Australia, if it's not yet taken: steve.auch@myokay.net

Are you sure that I need the 1.2 Hack? I have the German version of CTP, and have trouble with 1.2 hack. BTW, the only difference in the German version WRT PBEM, is that the diplomacy messages can sometimes come out a little funny

I find Krzysztof's settings a little radical. Maybe you could explain what sort of a map this would give? Very warm, and Very wet continent. Is this a complete jungle world? The only setting I really don't agree with is the goods set to 10. It removes one of the challenges of gameplay, namely finding your chosen good, and attempting to create a monopoly.

i don't find myself playind that kind a extreme world krysztof wanaa have, i more of a normal world kind a guy _:=)
i vote:
Dry=0 Wet=10; I vote 8,
Cold=0 Warm=10; I vote 7
archipelago=0 continet=10; I vote 4
land=0 ocean=10; I vote 6
diverse=0 unify=10; I vote 5
min_goods=0 max_goods=10; I vote 5


if you use the unify level at 10 it would be an hill and mountains only game!!!!!
with 10 continent and 6 water you get 1 big square continent with water around...

i don't have the 1.2 hack installed? can anyone tell me if i really need that?
