  • 2194 Days of War PBEM Epic

    OK guys, let's get this started as soon as we can, please post your country and your e-mail address so everyone knows who to send the game to.

    2. Germans-----Cal

    4. British-----CPoulos
    5. Chinese-----ShakaNuldur
    6. Soviets-----JMarks

    Review of PBEM how to play by cpoulos:

    First off, everyone must have MGE, with the last patch, to avoid problems. I understand that there is a new patch that turns the original civ-2 into Multi-player, but I don't know if it has any bugs. It, and the last MGE patch, can be found at civfanatics. Next thing, the scenario to be played, 2194 days of war, is availible from the scenario league downloads, as well as CSC, both hosted sites that can be reached through the links at the bottom of the forum summary page. Next, the way the game is played is this: The game is started as a multi-player net game. The host and IP are not important, and can be ignored. The first player starts the scenario (I believe it is the Soviets in this scenario), and selects the difficulty level (Prince is best for PBEM), the production level (normal), and makes sure the join players option is toggled. Then the player plays there turn, but make sure you have 'display the end of player turn' option on. When you have moved your last piece, you must press ctrl n, then go to the area where you normally save your game. You will see a new option there, the 'password' option. Make up a password for your civ (But don't forget it, or you can never access your civ again!), then save the game. Then you turn off civ-2, and e-mail the save to the next player on the turn list (which is the order the civs are listed in the selection area). Each player follows the same proceedure, including the unique password. Some other things: Play your turn as soon as possible! It is bad manners to make everybody wait for a slow-poke! If you can't play your turn, tell us, if possible. With this system, it is possible to skip players over, as the AI will move for the absent player for the missing turn. If your not serious about these things, don't waste our time. Remember also, that this is a game, and is ment to be fun, so have a good time doing it.

    CPoulos, ShakaNuldur, and JMarks, send me an e-mail so we can plan some strategy to rid the rule of the Imperialist Japanese and bastard fascist Germans.

    I think the key for us is determining what to research and what cities we need to defend heavily, while others we can trade for time.

          One more thing:
          Which event file and rules file should be used?

            In the 1st renditions of this PBEM we used the Allied rules.txt. The Axis have a good advantage at the start, so all the event-generated units should go to the Allies.

              We could also create new multiplayer rules and events.
              In which case nobody would get any advantages that isnt existing when they are played normaly (I could do this and then send the file to all players).

                  I´ve taken a look to the scn...

                  do the allies have a chance to win??
                  I know that the last pbem games were won by the Axis but I think that in both games Xin YU and FMK played as the Axis, so what could happen the other way around??

                  let´s win the war guys

                    Hey guys, we are only missing one guy right now, but hopefully he'll be around soon.

                    I think we should rewrite the multiplayer events file.

                    I already started it, but I am thinking of including a few things...

                    1000 for capturing capital cities.

                    Paris, Berlin, Peking(already Japanese), Tokyo, Washington D.C., London, Moscow...

                    Did I miss any?

                    Also, when certain cities with wonders are taken, we can have an event that triggers either money, technology, units or another similar thing like this.

                    Anyone have any other ideas that should be included??

                        You should include Cairo... and maybe whatever city was capital of India at that time.

                              And the rules file!
                              As of now there is one favoring the Axis and one favoring the allies, create something in between.
