Colonies III PBEM game

TheDuckOfFlanders · May 11, 2002

Well ,i always wanted to play this game in mp ,so would anybody be interrested in it?

Colonies III is a scenario mainly dealing about the European colonization in north America.

the game files can be found at the top of this page:
http://www.civfanatics.com/civ2scenren.shtml

Try it out in single player first if you never played this scenario before.

Since i started this game ,i take myself the opportunity to pick a civ first.

English: Academia
French: TheDuckOfFlanders
Spanish: Case
Dutch: Yop73

Optional civ's:

Irroquois: Patient English
Huron: Rhodry
Sioux: Darius

Keymaster: Duke of Marlborough

This info will be updated with the signed up players and the order of play later on.

(Many thanks to the author john Ellis for creating this wonderfull scenario)

I´ll take england!!

TheDuckOfFlanders · May 11, 2002

Youre added to the list.

Yop73 · May 11, 2002

I'll take the Sioux.
(btw, DuckofFlanders, are you really from Flanders, and if you are, from where?)

Duke of Marlbrough · May 11, 2002

I would love to take the Spanish, but I can't commit to 140 turns. :eek:

I'd be willing to be the Keymaster though, since I would highly recommend one for this long of a game.

(btw, DuckofFlanders, are you really from Flanders, and if you are, from where?)

Yep Yop ,and youre the 3rd Flemming on this board i know of.

Ik ben van Ieper ,in de Westhoek.

But that doesn't mean you will get flintlock/bayonet from me.

And duke ,thanks for keymastering for us.

Well, Duck,
who are the others?

Case · May 12, 2002

I'll take Spain

Why don't we use version 3.12, the latest version of this great scenario?

It's available from John's page at: http://pages.zoom.co.uk/netdesign/scenarios.htm

Feel free to check out the thread of the original Collonies 3 PBEM (which is still going on) for some interesting reading here:

Especially the second Anglo-French war should be of interest to an english player

Yop73 · May 12, 2002

Changed my mind, I'll take the Dutch

TheDuckOfFlanders · May 12, 2002

Case ,youre added to.

We are playing that version ,it's the same version that is hosted on the civfanatic's download page.

Now do we need Players for the indian tribes ,or will we just start like this?

Oh, OK

Start like this. The Indians would be very difficult for anyone to play and the AI generally handles them fairly well.

Am I correct in saying that the Dutch move first?

Patient English · May 13, 2002

Well, guys, if you still have room (and 5 players is not too much) I would be happy to take the Iroquois.

They ARE hard to play, but I should have a teeny advantage over most newbies...

By the way, a Colonies 3.2 should be out before long (mainly graphics tweaks) and a Colonies 4 sometime this year - when I've finished Bonaparte II!

Only one question...what's a keyholder?

Rhodry · May 13, 2002

Could i play huron?

Patient English · May 13, 2002

Well, if we can find a Souix, we have the set. I have often wondered about how the Natives would cope if they were all human-controlled.....

However, seven players might slow down the game a bit. In a four-way Colonies I am playing, it has taken us a year to get to 1740! However, it is a cracking game....

I guess you should call this one, Duck. I won't be offended if you decide four is enough.

Damn, I heard about this on ZWK 3 but found this thread too late! The sioux should still be interesting though.

A keyholder is something I came up with when I noticed that most PBEM games were killed when a player went missing in the middle of a game.

They are the person that all the players send their passwords to for holding. That way, if a player disappears, the keyholder can give the replacement player the password and the game can continue.

Yop, when you're ready, lets get this started

TheDuckOfFlanders · May 14, 2002

Oh well ,let's get it started ,that is if i can find out the turn order...
