Multiplayer?

[Henrik]

Which scenario are you going to play?
I am also interested...

[Jay Bee]

Henrik, I really do not know yet. Any suggestion?

[The Hogfather]

I'm in... maybe one could explain the dynamics properly before we start... as in "explain to me as if I were an idiot".

[Fiera]

Is it going to be PBEM then? Then sure I'm in!

About the scn, I was very keen on playing "Spanish Pride" when we made our first PBEM attempt, but maybe that kind of game would take ages to play anyway, so what about a scn with less turns?

Actually the only WW2 scenarios I play are 2194 days of war and Redfront.

Ah yes, I forgot Bonaparte and if someone could find better european city graphics for Collonies III I would like to play that one as well, otherwise I would like Collonies II (may seem like a small thing but it really matters more than one might think)
I foresee one problem though, who wants to play as Irouquese/Horun/Soiux?

[Jay Bee]

Ok, we are six now. One slot open. Dizepam?

I also liked the Spanish Pride game but I agree, it's probably too long fort this. Other scenario suggestions, please?

[Henrik]

Hmmm... Do the scenario have to include spain
John Ellis "Helas" scenario is a good one, and there are many playable nations (6 I think)
Collonies II (I hate the city graphics in Collonies III, otherwise that one is better) by the same author is also a good one, where all civs are playable.
30 years war by Jesus Munoz/kIndal?
2194 days of war by Captain Nemo.
I know that only two of the above scenarios include Spain so if that is required only those two have to be considered.

My vote for scenario goes to several candidates;

1) JMF's 30 Years Wars seems to be a good choice; everyone is familiar with it.

2.) 1650 by Markus Eklund, but it might contain too many cities for JayBee.

3.) Time of Thunder seems like a winner, but balance is a question.

4.) Habsburg Bid for Mastery comes in 4th.

These choices are also an accomodation to you, JB, my real preferences would be for a huge scenario w/lots of towns, but that might prove unwieldy--this will be my first attempt at a long-distance multiplayer game. Best to start simple, then work up to a gargantua.

Of course not, but if it's there...

This one brings back bad memories to me ;(

That sounds right to me too

[Chris 62]

J.Elis' Bonaparte sounds like a good choice to me, but I'll go along with the majority.

I'm in.

PBEM, of course.

[Henrik]

Ah should we maybe have some kind of voting?

• Sugestions so far:
• John Ellis's Bonaparte
• John Ellis's Collonies (II or III)
• John Elis's Hellas
• Jesús Muñoz's 30 Years war (it seems Jay Bee put in some kind of Veto against this one though)
• Markus Eklund's 1650
• Jesus Balsinde's Time of Thunder
• Michael J. Daumen and Harlan Thompson's Habsburg Bid for Mastery
• Henrik Lohmander's Carolus Gustavus Reagis (Dare I sugest this one , it is not ready for release yet, but it would be a great way of testing it I will understand if you don't want to though , the scenario takes places during the years 1655 and 1660 each turn is a month )

I'll vote for Bonaparte. I think the situation is fairly even.
