Turn 67

Boy did I get off on the wrong foot. You should put me out of my misery as soon as possible.

Turn 67

Turn 68

I'm more worried about you getting tired of having to coddle me. I will have plenty of fun just trying to find ways to survive. But you aren't really getting a challange from me. I can do much better. I'd also hate to waste the effort we've already put in.

My turn rate has slowed due to a combination of frustration with the slow internet and I am hanging with my nephew. I'm not slowing down due to disinterest. Tuesday I'll be back on my own computer and free to return at tyhe previous rate.

If you are bored we can start a new one. If not you should teach me a lesson and not pull any more punches.

I'm doing really well in my other two games so I can take being slaughtered which I deserve at this point.

I think that pbem lite is a good idea for getting a pbem game going faster. And next Huge or Gigantic map game I play I'll follow a better growth plan.

Turn 68

I am enjoying this game. I am very rarely the one to initiate attacks

The reason being is when your at war your slowing down everything on research side of house.

I am not coddling you, contrary, I want you to succeed so as we will both be stronger later game. I find no pleasure in taking you out.

The pace is fine as when I return to work on Monday, I will only be available in evenings.

Hang in if you like or we can start a newone.

I have never used PBEM LITE or any other Mods, if you have you start a game and we will discuss the settings.

Let me know

Turn 69

Well as long as you are having a good time I'd hate to waste the effort we have already put in. I wouldn't mind starting a second game though. I could start us a second game. I would use the following settings:

pbem lite (esencially all civs start with three settlers that create larger cities and and some extra pieces with the first three cities built. It gets the game going much faster. Only the player starting the scenario needs to have the scenario installed on their computer

We could either do two civs each or just one each. Either way I'd like to max the number of Civs to 8 to either 4 or 6 AIs

I'd prefer to play on a normal size map

I usually do

Wet/Dry 40%
Warm/Cold 50%
Ocean/Land 20%
Island/Continent 80%
Diverse 100%
Goods 100%

What do you say a second game along these lines?

[Grandpa Troll]

Start one up and then a Thread.

Call it something different than Prince and Poppa

Let me know

I'll take Turks

Looking forward

Turn 69

I soon shall have a border to Pink, reinforcing as we speak

I am aware I have several Pink troops, including a Knight and quite possibly a Samurai roaming my lands

I will seek Calvary Knowledge before long and then rid my peoples hallowed grounds of these vermin

[PrinceBolkonsky]

Turn 70

Yes I've read on the forums that you like those Cav units

[Grandpa Troll]

Turn 70

Peace is good for me with Pink

I will reinforce border and then consider Military Sanctions for the unprovoked attack

New Game and Thread

Here is the new game thread where you will find the first game turn zip. You are the Turks I am the Welsh. Be sure to read the PBEM Mod Lite explanation from Keygan within the first post. Feel free to restart your first turn as many times as you like to get the hang of the possibilites. Your 3 settlers have 10 MPs each and produce extra units and larger beginning cities as well as more settlers. Also you start out with two caravans and several technologies, PW and gold. Sounds too cushy but considering the delays caused by pbem its worth it. The AI civs get these bonuses as well.

Here's the thread: The Prince's Revenge!!
