View Full Version : New PBEM.

I'm looking to start a new PBEM game in the next week. I'd prefer to limit it to 4-6 players max to keep the turn around times quick.

Settings are negotiable but I would propose:

Starting age: Ancient
Size: Large
Difficulty: Noble or higher
Continents
Temperate
Medium Sea Level
AI's with random personalities to fill in the gaps
All victory options open

Heihojin's PBEM rules are pretty comprehensive and are the ones that I'll use.

If you are interested post a reply with your 1st and 2nd choices for Civs plus any proposed settings. You can also post your email address or I can get it from you via PM.

THESE GAMES ARE NOW STARTED. THE BREAKDOWN IS:

GAME #1

ME - random civ
Portuga - Washington
J RocKeT76 - random
Blid - Qui Huang (with leader name Jugurta)
kvilli - random

GAME #2

Me - random
Donald Kipper - random
niamor - Hatchepsut
karazack - Catherine
magzi - random

First turns are on their way out. Good luck to each of you.

I'll be setting up the game and sending out an email with the listed players in the next 24 hours. The game should start soon thereafter is everyone is agreed and responds to the email.

I sent out an email to the 8 prospective players that responded by posting or PM. As explained in the email I intend to break the responding players into two separate PBEM games to keep the turnaround times down and allow a good pace of play. Depending on the time it takes to get the email responses to confirm final players I would expect to mail out the first turns in 24 to 48 hours. Thanks again.

So, too late to join one of those 2 games?

If not, e-mail is drahnier_84@hotmail.com(I get so much spam already i don't mind typing it out), and waiting for a mailed confirmation wouldn't be necessary, obviously.

You could make me a random leader, and i check my mail several times a day and would play my turns whenever i got them, so i wouldn't be much of a speed problem.

Unfortunately I have already started the games. I may start a third in the near future and will give you first notice. In the event that someone should drop out I'll offer you the opportunity to sub for them if you'd like.

I received the save from J_RocKeT76. I wanted to play my turn before going to work but had issues with the password protected error. I found at this thread http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=152832 that it may come from the partition type. I will try it tonight (I am GMT+1) and keep u informed.
Sorry for the delay

GAME 1 : done with the password protection issue. save sent to kvilli

Norlamand : I think it would be better to have a thread per game. Eventually, u have preferred Huge size ? That means an AI civ for each human player. To befriend or to war, only time will tell :D

This thread can continue as the PBEM #1 thread. I'll start another thread for PBEM #2.

New thread for PBEM #2 is up.

Given the fickle nature of the AI I think they will offer a nice twist to the game. I've also made their personalities random. The player who establishes the best relationship with them early may be able to organize a dogpile on his local human rivals. Of course their fickleness makes them untrustworthy allies in the long run.

Where's the current turn of Norlamand PBEM #1 going? I think that the last turn I made was 3760BC which I received on last Thursday. I'll check this when I get home.

Edit: My previous move was BC 3600.
