History of Colonization: The Colonies 3.12 PBEM Game

Chris, your Napoleon complex will be indulged. I rather fancy the English - but I always play them (!) so if someone else wants them I would like to try the Austrians as well. An online game sounds excellent, and this coming weekend would be the best opportunity for a while as the girlfriend is away in Lisbon, but we should keep the players down to 3 or 4.

Could I have Prussia or Brittain?
I would be able to play this weekend as well.

Holland builds proto-industrialization!

Turn played, sent and posted.

New Holland is rich in trade....

Henrik,

Could I have Prussia or Britain?

Can I put you down for Prussia at the moment? I think a four-way between France, Britain, Prussia and Spain or Austria would be enough for an on-line game at the moment. This is all contingent on me getting the events file up and working by Saturday, which should be possible.

I will post my progress here to start with, then start a new thread if we kick off successfully. The following week, we may start a multiplayer PBEM. For that I would like all 7 nations to be played. Vegard Martinsen is playing the Swedes and I will play Austria or Britain (whichever I don't play in the online game.)

Can I put any of you down for the PBEM? We would probably only play 20 turns or so, but it should still be fun.

Who will host the online game? I am happy to, and I control my server firewall. However, my IP is dynamic, so I would have to communicate that to you all once I was on-line. Are you all on AIM? If so, I will get myself registered on that too.

CIV II also has on-line audio chat within the game. Any of you used that feature?

Waku, do you fancy the Spanish, Austrians or British for an on-line game? I think all you guys have proved you're pretty reliable in the gaming commitmment stakes, so I would like to keep it amongst us for now.

Chris, glad you've finally built Proto-Industrialisation. In Amsterdam, I guess?

Well we are going to have guessts during saterday, but I could probably play some turns if we started at around 3 as sugested above (note: would it be 3 my time or 3 johns time, he is at gmt and I have CET I belive, so 3 his time is 4 my time ).
I could however play on sunday with no restrictions (well I imagine we would have to stop sometime but... )

Grrr, I shouldnt have introduced Vegard to PBEMS, now he got me civ

Well I would like to play the Prussians in a pbem too.

Well I can't host due to my firewall (I've tried several times, but...), I think half of us are on AIM (Chriss and me), but that doesnt hinder the rest of you from getting it

CIV II also has on-line audio chat within the game. Any of you used that feature?

Huh?
An Audio Chat, how do you start that?
I only saw the normal chat when playing mp (and I have played it several times too)...




French turn:

• Only one rebbel huron city remains now...
• Two slaves captured in Africa and sent to Noveaux Orleans.
• I must've forgotten to hit ctrl-n last turn, some of my units had goto orders and a grenadier had moved up to the English trade posts in canada.
• The french demands an official explanation to the warships reciding outside French collonies in north america.

I am actually on British Summer time until 28/10/01, which is an hour behind GMT. So 16:00 my time should be 16:00 CET and 15:00 GMT. OK?

You are Prussians then. I am downloading AOL IM now. My handle is Patient1815, in honour of this game. What is your name Henrik? I have Chris's.



I or Chris will host. We will sort that between ourselves and let you know when the Thread is started.

Have a look at Control Panel/Gaming Options/Voice Chat. Civ II MGE should be listed. It seems to be a simple Voice-over-IP think. Might play with it if we have the time and inclination, and everything else works well. (Unlikely )

English Diplomacy:

Wondered what your Gren was about!
The "warship" is a privateer moving troops to attack the Iroquois. Don't worry.

Well I am using a mac (which presents no problems for civ 2 mp, except that special letters like åäö looks strange in the ingame chat) but that also means that I cannot use the audio chat (atleast not in the way you describe it)...

[Waku]

Here's the file!

[Patient English]

Waku,

Got the file - will play my turn today, but probably arounf 24:00 GMT.

Are you on for Bonaparte II playtesting? Either PBEM or multiplayer online?

A look at the new world:

[Henrik]

1698

The defenders of the last Huron settlement, "Long Water", fought incredibly fiercly and for the first time during this war, victory was uncertain, however the superior french forces did eventually manage to beat the Huron braves in the Niagara Battle.
The english, seemingly disturbed by this activity in the border regions are not to worry, the last of the Huron threat has been overcome and the settlement of Long Water is expected to surrender within a month.
