[Immortal Wombat]

Much as I think the 21-player game will be a very good laugh, I would like to play a bit more often, and get some feel for the game a bit more. Therefore, I am going to start another Succession Game, with less players, 4 or 5

The next three people to reply, expressing a wish to join are welcome to, the fourth will have to beg and plead

Seriously though, if you wanna play a smaller succession game from monday, post here!

You're lucky hell you're all lucky. I don't have time bloody exams coming up.

[rooboy]

I'll have a go.

What options? Map size, difficulty etc.

[Pilfur]

I'm in. Actually, if somebody else wants the spot I can just start yet another succession game. There's no reason why we shouldn't have a bunch of them going at a time. How about one that uses Med Mod 2 or the Cradle mod for something a little different (tougher challenge too!)

[Immortal Wombat]

exams, well yes I have some of them I think. GCSEs or something? Or whatever, lets play Civ

I think for this time it would be easier to use a default game, with maybe set to impossible. Once we get the hang of this, (and my exams are over, I do care a little bit ) then we can try organising Cradle or MedMod, or even an OCC SG, which should be nice and difficult...

Any preferences on size, terrain etc. ?


And now the gratuitous bit:

Play SG

I Civ

Lets kick some AI butt

[Darkknight]

hey new smilies

These could be useful. Just before I press the big red button I say:

You're all going to die all of you. hahahahahha

[Pilfur]

I'd like to avoid the Huge map just because it may take a while for the turns to go by with my slow computer. But then, that may be the perfect time to write in the log

I don't really have any preferences. I'm far more into the roleplay aspect of this than the conquering aspect. I like playing CTP2 and this will breathe more life into it but I'm especially excited about having fun writing the log.

[Skeeve]

I'll stay out for this one, but I think I'd like to try out a OCC succession game or MedMODII when it comes around. I hope someone else will supervise that. I'm trying to write a review for a Heroes of Might & Magic III map on the www.Astralwizard.com website.

Great site if anyone out there plays HOMM3.
In fact, I have a map of my own posted there. Came in 3rd place in last summer's contest. (Of course there were only 4 entries for my category, but what the hey!?) It's called "The Rise of Telmar".

But anyway, I digress.
Good luck with running this one Wombat! As a Succession game veteran, I know you'll have it running smoothly.

Skeeve, I have a webpage set up to post scores of OCC games. You could join in there, and we can do a competition between everyone with one setup for everybody to use. OCC is a pretty challenging scenario, so I think it would be fun to have people compete. You interested in helping get it set up? I would do it, but you have been around alot longer and people pay more attention to you!

Also, IMO, if you still have room in your smaller succession game I would love to join, if not that's cool too. Let me know!

[Immortal Wombat]

Ok, four players will do then

1) Immortal Wombat - weaver1@tinyworld.co.uk
2) rooboy - arb77@optushome.com.au
3) Pilfur - twaterman@execulink.com
4) Rhuarc - wendell777@hotmail.com

I'll start it tomorrow morning GMT.

Impossible
Raiders (3/4)
1/2 land
Islandy

EDIT:
Should probably mention, same rules as Game three. 10 turns throughout.

The fourth Apolyton Succession Game has begun!
Sorry this is short, I have to revise.

Herein lies the reign of Apolyton I, leader of the Greeks

4000BC
The city of Athens is founded at the confluence of two rivers. A warrior unit is commissioned to explore the surrounding terrain.

3950BC
Nothing happened.

3900BC
Nothing continued to happen

3875BC
The warriors of Athens are fully trained, and immediatly make use of their training, a-spying a herd of strange beasts to the North east. They go to investigate, and name these strange cratures - elephants.

3750BC
The warriors have followed the river for many years, and at last arrive at its source, high in the foothills of the Gray Wombat Mountains. As they relay this news to Apolyton, who is now an old man, the news that the mountain range was named after him was too much for his flagging heart, and his heart stopped beating in surprise, ironically, the day before he was due to retire, and announce a successor to the throne... But he died a happy man, and was given a nice big funeral

[Skeeve]

Rhuarc,

My summer semester of Grad School is starting next week, so I'll have to decline with helping set up for that OCC game. However, I'll be finished by July 13th. I could help out then. For now, I'm going to stick with supervising Succession Game 3, so I don't get too bogged down.

Thanks for the note of confidence, though.

[Rhuarc]

No problem Skeeve, I'm going to try to convince MarkG to post about it on the main CTP2 page, that way maybe more people will find out about it and become interested in it. Thanks man.

[rooboy]

You stupid #$%@ing wombat!!! Only joking mate.

I have a little problem with the save game. When entering ruins, weird ass messages come up. Instead of saying a nomad joins our empire, it has some really weird **** posted. Same thing when finding gold in ruins. Does anyone know WTF is going on? I am currently only playing with the patch, and obviously no mods.
Should i just ignore this?

[Rhuarc]

Hello?

Hey guys! What's happening? I hadn't heard anything from anyone in a while about this game so I thought I had better check in with ya. Is our game still on or not? I am ready and waiting! You know, if it was me I would wait a couple of days until the MedPackII comes out and all of us use that. I think that would make for a much better game, but hey, that's just me! Let me know waht you guys think, and if you would like to do that.
