Do some PBEM?

[Krash]

I will play turns mainly between 1700 - 0100 GMT.

I too think we would be better on a larger map with this many players, it gives time to get set up before having to worry about other players. Perhaps a few Barbarians might be an idea?

[Arthur]

I'd be able to take my turns around 7pm - 12am (-7GMT)

[Sowasabauch]

You're right, large map is better. I had a look on some regular size maps, it's a bit overcrowded with 30 settlers.
Some question: TheBirdMan has hack 1.21 and Apolytion Pack, I have CD's mod and AAIPS (not as scenario), Charliebrown has nothing, and I don't know about the rest. Do we all need the same configurations? I nerver played MP, so I really don't know about those things and their compability. I would prefer using something like CD's mod, it's simply better (only if it's not too difficult to get compatible)
Time settings: If somebody is delaying we mob him .
Barbarians: Do we really need them?

TheBirdMan: Vikings
Arthur:Americans
Krash: Russians
Charliebrown:Japanese
Sowasabauch: French
Stavros: Australians

I'm playing after 1700 GTM..

[Stavros]

Australians for me.... I've only got the 1.2 patch, and have problems with the others because I have the german version

Barbarians are good for getting slaves. I presume that's why people want them, but I'm easy....

[Krash]

I have the 1.2 patch, it's not really worth trying anything else if it's going to cause problems for Stavros, it will just end up slowing things down.

[Sowasabauch]

If there are no further problems we could start with the following settings:

Large map,
wet o---------- dry
warm o---------- cold
ocean ----o------ land
island ----------o continent
uniform ----------o diverse
few goods ----o------ many goods

deity level, five-settler scenario, no barbarians, flat world, standard game.

Hey.... come on.... keep going....

I want to meet you and make peace, love and understanding with you - in this game - at a start - I think.

------------------
Woodstock was here!

[TheBirdMan]

Someone knows how this game are going?

Btw - I have consulted my ISDN-pusher and bought a new (longer) cable. I might be able to fight agains my wife and children to get an hour or so on "their" pc at home.

Means that I might be able to take turns around 17:00-20:00 also.

Woodstock was here!

[Sowasabauch]

Charliebrown mentioned to me that he'll be away for a week. But this was some time ago.
- I suggest we wait for him (1 or 2 days), it's his first turn.

[Krash]

I just hope that this isn't a sign of things to come........!

[Sowasabauch]

TheBirdMan, I think you should turn Charliebrown to AI till he's back.

[Stavros]

Agreed.... Otherwise everyone is going to loose interest. Some of us haven't even had our first turns yet...

[TheBirdMan]

I'll try.

Edit abt. 15 minutes later

I couldn't find out how to change CharlieBrown to an AI, so I have taken his turn. Did my best - have done nothing that I wouldn't do to myself.

Turn to Arthur.
