Apolyton/AoW PBEM League?

[PolarisGL]

Sorry to clutter here, but no one posts or even looks into the Art of War forum.

Anyways, I see that a lot of people like PBEM games. I do as well... not only Civilization II, but also Axis & Allies.

So, would anyone be interested in a Civilization II PBEM League at The Art of War? It would be an interesting new idea and concept for The Art of War. We'd come up with some sort of ranking system (all of us knowing that Xin Yu would be on the top ).

I think it would be nice to keep record of all these great games we have here at Apolyton via PBEM. Ranks could be divided into difficulties for regular games and rankings for specific scenario games.

Also, if someone is looking to begin a new PBEM game, they can find players at The Art of War. I'll list e-mail addresses, ICQ numbers (if you have one), and other usefull information that the players will provide.

Best of all, if you're facing a tough enemy in a scenario that has a featured strategy on The Art of War, you can just load the website up and look at the strategy.

Just an idea. Let me know if anyone is interested.

I'm definately interested.

That sounds like a good idea. I havn't played a PBEM game yet, and this might encourage me to join one.

Looks like there is some support.

I think I'll test out how rankings go this weekend.

What *is* a PBEM game?

I already am playing in several, but more would be welcome, so I too would be interested, but only for scenarios. Also, if people are not serious, then don't bother, because it ruins it for everyone else.

Play By Electronic Mail. It's a civ scenario or game played in turns via e-mail.

Similar to my CtP/AC System, right? Why not take mine here, for this is pretty, uhm, usual now, with two games having PBEMs going under my system. Another game under my system it could be.

I think we should start a PBEM game as soon as we can. My vote is for 2194 Days by Captain Nemo. We need at least 2 people, but 5 or 6 would be best.

If anyone is interested respond here with what country they want.

Solver, thanks; I'll e-mail you if things don't work out on my own.

I think this would be a great idea. PBEM games are very nice. I also think it would be better to play only scenarios. But one problem emerges, I don't know of any balanced multiplayer scenario. It would be cool if some good scenarios be made with multiplayer in mind.
Pap1723, I'd like to join also, but I can only play on weekends. Would it be allright? I 'd like to play as germany.

Well as it happens, The Modern Age was designed as a mp scenario. Take a look at it sometime. It's available on the European Civilization II Site.

Alrighty, guys. I think I'll do it.

I'll keep the forum updated this weekend on the developments.
