"The Long 19th Century" PBEM Game

[Chris 62]

Guys, if your going to keep changing your minds about what to play, I'm going to drop out. Either we pick one or not. But to change things two days before the start, after it took a week to set it up, is bad buisness. Exile, you can have Britain. I'll play the Austrians.

I sure do like getting Britain; it's the civ that I habitually take when playing that scenario. But honestly, I can see why the Russians wouldn't be much fun to play. I am happy to play in a historical scenario that I'm familiar with. There are plenty. You have a point though, Chris; let's find one that everybody's pleased about. There are so many good ones, it shouldn't be that difficult. Um . . . Modern Age is designed for multiplay. I know. I designed it. Just a suggestion.

Salutations,

Alright, say I start the scenario as an internet game. Assume I am the First player. I do not wait for anyone to join. I play my turn. I save the game, but how do I password protect it? And then I send it to you, Henrik. How do you load the save, and how do you join the game? That's what I want to know. Exactly what has to be done, and how to do it, so I make no mistakes. Like I said before, I've never played it using a .NET save. I just want the game to play smoothly, so that everybody has a good time. Confusion about procedure will ruin the game.

Alright, if you guys don't like the 19th century scenario, then how about Exile's "The Modern Era"? It was designed for multi-player, and it has none of the other scenario's flaws. It has all the European powers, and it has things to research, and wonders to build. I only ask not to be stuck with a Muslim nation. I am Half Greek you know!

The list has Russia as first, but when I try it, the Germans Always are the first player.

Hmm... I was going to make an events upgrade for that scenario for Exile, should we wait untill that one is ready?

[Exile]

Henrik, the Modern Age works fine as it is; the additions you're preparing will require testing to make sure they function as intended. If anyone is interested in a MP Modern Age, I can send copies to anyone who wants to participate, and we'll all have the same program. If this is a go, let me know.

I agree with Exile. A new scenario or events file requires proper testing. I don't want the game to be a playtest. I want it to be fun. Well, what do you fellows think?

Lets play modern age then
As long as I wont have to play the Holy Roman Empire of German Nation (I love to write the whole name )

[Exile]

Well, with Henrik, Chris, that makes 3. Now if we can convince Hogfather and HsFB to join in, its a go. The chances are good that I'll be awake for quite awhile tonight however, so it might be around noonish that you'll see me online.

You can play whichever civ you want, just work it out with Cpoulos and whoever else will join. I'm flexible w/this scenario; all the civs that are meant to be played have something interesting going for them. The Berbers are not intended for human play, however. The "Commerical States," Italy and the Low Countries can be, but the sceanrio works well if they are left out as well. I can't honestly see anyone winning with the "Commercial," or white civ, but it might be fun to play the spoiler.

Till then,
Exile
