... One more to go !
Can you please post or pm game settings (difficulty, victory and other conditions) and rules/specifics just to make sure we don't do something wrong.
LouLong Apr 05, 2004, 03:09 AM OK we are three now.
Patch 1.20
Settings victory : standard scenario properties.
Level : ? any preference ? There are 3 AI, so let me know what level you prefer.
Elitmees, can you send me a PM with your mail and your preferences for AI ?
I got akots's already.
akots Apr 05, 2004, 05:05 AM I'll have to upgrade then. Running 1.15beta. Looks like 1.20 is full of bugs of its own. Need to get to 1.22 or down to 1.15 apparently? Or wait for final 1.22? They are both on Firaxis site. (http://www.firaxis.com/downloads_product.cfm?product=10,12,13)
Difficulty: Anything starting from Monarch and up to Sid. May be Sid too much but can be funny.
LouLong Apr 05, 2004, 07:44 AM Emperor could be it then.
Sorry about 1.20. It is just I upgraded and am playing other PBEM at the same time. I cannot really go down to 1.15b and 1.22 cannot load 1.20 saves... or so it seems.
jshelr Apr 06, 2004, 03:07 PM You guys still looking. If you need someone, I could join another.
akots Apr 06, 2004, 11:47 PM OK, then we are ready to go. Looks like 1.20 and 1.22 is the same. Let's try and play in 1.22. If you cannot open in 1.20, must then downgrade to 1.20. Just make another mirror. Or you can make mirror and play in 1.22.
LouLong Apr 07, 2004, 02:36 AM Sorry we are set. Three players + 3 AI. Except if there is a way to turn one of the AI civs into a player. Will check ASAP.
Sorry for the dealy but I could not access CFC yesterday because it was down.
I am gonna send the welcome e-mail soon.
I need to downgrade to 1.20 because of my other PBEM so I think it is easier if we stick to it. Pb downgrading erases Conquests shortcut so I need to reinstall some stuff but normally we should start before tonight.
Considering the time zone, I think we should go Elitmees, me then Akots.
Read me soon !
LouLong Apr 12, 2004, 03:22 PM GAME STARTED

EliitMees Apr 13, 2004, 10:45 AM sent to Akots
LouLong Apr 13, 2004, 11:19 AM OK, then no pb I guess.

akots Apr 30, 2004, 01:33 AM Turn 14(?) - 430AD sent to LouLong.
LouLong Apr 30, 2004, 04:16 PM Turn 15 up and running !
akots May 21, 2004, 12:58 PM Turn 650AD played and sent to Loulong. The game is progressing well so far.
LouLong May 21, 2004, 02:36 PM Yep that's right. From the outside it could seem look like this game is dead. Not at all. But with just 3 human players in close connection, we just run it by e-mails...
Let's keep on rocking !
EliitMees May 21, 2004, 04:58 PM Just curious, did you meet each other in game? :)
I'm trying to reach you through the blood and corpses of that evil Moches :die:
akots May 21, 2004, 09:20 PM It is a spoiler, so cannot tell...
I have trouble figuring out do we play with Regent AI or Emperor AI?
EliitMees May 22, 2004, 05:28 AM I think it's Regent
LouLong May 22, 2004, 05:42 AM Yep I am pretty sure it is Regent. It was the first PBEM I set up so I did not focus on the settings as much as I should have.
LouLong May 28, 2004, 11:54 AM 740 AD sent to EliitMees. South America exists indeed !
EliitMees May 28, 2004, 03:34 PM Yeah, and it belongs to the Kingdom of Incas
:)
akots May 29, 2004, 03:01 AM Turn 750AD sent to LouLong.
LouLong Jun 06, 2004, 02:52 PM Turn 848AD started and sent to EliitMees
LouLong Jun 15, 2004, 02:29 PM the year 904 AD (by future invaders' standards) has been reached and the turn 63 sent to the Incas !
LouLong Jun 20, 2004, 01:39 PM Update on the 20th of June : 67 turns played out of 175 with a possibility of an early win.
akots Jun 21, 2004, 09:32 PM Certainly, the game won't last to turn 175! :lol: We'll kill each other long before that.
EliitMees Jul 01, 2004, 04:37 PM I am going on vacation tomorrow and will be back on 12 July. My apologies for slowing the game down.
LouLong Jul 14, 2004, 03:55 AM Our 75th turn started !
We reached the year 1000 AD (err... I mean for our future conquerors).
akots Jul 15, 2004, 10:46 PM Turn 1015AD is on the move.
LouLong Jul 26, 2004, 04:53 AM After 87 turns, Akots has reached a stunning domination victory !
Congratulations to him and to EliitMees too for it was a very dynamic game ! :goodjob:
LouLong Jul 26, 2004, 04:54 AM Other victory screens
LouLong Jul 26, 2004, 04:56 AM Another one
LouLong Jul 26, 2004, 04:57 AM So congratulations once again to Akots "the Clever"
akots Jul 26, 2004, 07:52 AM Thanks a lot to Loulong and Eliit. It was a great game which was moving at a great rate! It was a pleasure to play with both of you. Thanks to Loulong for posting the images. Somehow I was unable to see them by myself. :)
The main reason IMHO which enabled me to win that early by Domination was that Maya first revolted to Monarchy and then triggered Golden Age whereas Inca and Aztecs had Golden Age in Despotism. I've been first to Silent Hunters and produced them in huge numbers. I'll try to wrap up and post a spoiler at CDZ soon.
EliitMees Jul 26, 2004, 08:25 AM It was a good game, thank you guys.
88 turns in 100 days - that was a good pace.
Congratulations Akots!
