I have version 1.27f too.


I'd like to see at least one more player. But if no one else comes, I wouldn't mind playing on a small/standard map with computers. What do you think?

ok by me, at least give it another day or two - otherwise I am ready.

Espírito

ok, this was my first time and was expecting to have to wait for people :o
thing is, I go away for last week of August, wasn't expecting to be ready to play by then :)

so, i see three ways to do this
i) play this week, then wait till I get back from hols, 1st September
ii) start after I get back
iii) u 2 and ne1 who wants play on their own,

what d'ya both think?

Hmm.... I'd say start now, take the week break, then continue.

sourboy

Espírito

Espírito
Aug 17, 2003, 03:40 PM
oh, suggested attributes:

world size: small? (or tiny?)
pangaea
temperate
wet
5 billion years old
sedentary barbs? - i dont mind here
level - regent/monarch? - is ya choice as I sed, I will (try) to play on any level.

sourboy
Aug 17, 2003, 06:22 PM
ok by me...is it just the 3 of us, or are we going to use the maximum number of players for the map size with AI as fill-ins?

I can host if you don't want to. I've done it once before.

RegentMan

What I would prefer:

Small Map: 6 players (3 AI)
Continents
Temperate
Wet
4 billion
Passive Barbs
Regent (No surprise here ;) )

My civ choices would be:
1. Egypt
2. China
3. France

I haven't set up before, but will try if needed.

Espírito
Aug 18, 2003, 01:56 AM
ok, i think sourboy shud maybe set up :)

regentman, those map choices r fine by me if sourboy likes too. One thing, continents makes game much longer but Ive never played before so don't know how long they last normally anyways :)

the civ choices - u do mean ai civs yes? then they're fine by me.

sourboy
Aug 18, 2003, 12:07 PM
Ok, I'll make the game. The settings are fine by me as well:

Small map
Continents
Temp, Wet, 4 Billion, 70% water
Regent level
3 AI's

Recommended turn order (according to order of posts on here):

Espirito: ?? (pick Civ or go random?)
sourboy: Ottomans
RegentMan: Egypt? (I assume your list was your Civ preferences)
AI: ?? (random Civs, unless you want to pick some...?)

If this is correct, then:
1) post or Private Message your email address (we can edit it off this thread after)
2) confirm settings
3) pick your Civ if you want

Once confirmed here, I'll create the game & send a confirming email to you both with our email addresses!

Oh, and Espirito - the game will take a while to play no matter what...I just hope everyone can post relatively quickly...

:goodjob:

I've sent my e-mail via PM. You're correct: I do want to be Egypt. I don't care if the AIs are random or not. Your choice.

Espírito

ok, that world is gud :)

i wud like 2 be Arabs if possible, if not then Iroquois.

cud we have Carthage or Celts as one of the AI cos they always seem to like me, but if u 2 disagree then I dont mind at all.

are we playing a straight game, all possible wins, culture flip enabled, but no regicide/elimination/v points/ctp yes?

my e-mail again is oh2beapepsibottle@hotmail.com and I dont mind it staying on here. (can ya play PBEM thru hotmail? if not I'll use another but this is my preference)

I dont mind what order, I think u 2 are American yes? Well I'm England, and after hols will be doing turns 5-7 am BST(or GMT after fall) and 5-10pm on weekdays as I have school so I dont know whether u can arrange it so it runs smoothly? I dont mind the order.

sourboy
Aug 18, 2003, 03:30 PM
yeah, all victory conditions...

I'll create the game & email you both tonight.

good luck :D
