Anyone interested in trying a Fall From Heaven PBEM?

Planning on running a pitboss game now instead of PBEM... Game launches in: 2-3 days.

Alright, new version is out... I suppose its time to launch eh? Everyone whos interested in a FfH 2.013a game should email me with the following info: Forum nickname, email address and prefered leader. If you think you have already sent me this info, send it again please, it will be easier for me to get it all put together.

yeah that would be fun ohhhhh fun orhtos axe trading

* bump * Only one person?

hey project... still didnt tryied the FFH mod, but might be interesting to play it pbem... but put me on the end of the list... not sure if i will be able to play one more pbem...

What's the most recent version of the mod?

I have a version, but not sure if it's the most recent...

I'm definitly interested in playing this FFH mod as a PBEM.

Newest version is (that I just got) is 2.012b. Been playing a little single player with it and it looks to be very nice. Though there are some bugs with it... It looks to me like we have enough people to give it a shot. Guess its time to move on to the next step. If you want a spot in the PBEM, pm or email me!

Hey, just finished my exams and am very interested- never been in a PBEM before though.

I'm sure you'll all beat me- I've not played much multiplayer at all before and I find playing on Prince a challenge

Oh crap and I won't be able to reload!

Perhaps it would be worth advertising this in the FfH forum, perhaps create a multiplayer thread so that future games could be advertised there too

Hmm.. Thats not a bad idea. With more players, it might be better to find someone who could host a pitboss game.

Unfortunately I don't know the last thing about servers so it won't be me.

I installed and had a go at the FFH mod last night, it's a great mod.

Alright, so I've gotten some great response for this, and I'm mighty interested in getting started. Firstly though... heres a few questions to help me decide how to set this up:

1) Would you rather play a PBEM game, or play a pitboss game, with a server that wont be up 24-7? (I can probably leave my PC running 2-3 days, then it needs to take a little break >_<)

2) What sort of map settings/AI settings is everyone interested in/comfortable with?

3) Do we want to let people choose their own leaders, or should we force random?

Well, I'm gonna spend some time this weekend tinkering with the pitboss software, you all get back to me either in this forum or by PM or email. Lookin forward to a good game!

If I can still join the group I would like to play xP

Answers:

1 - What&#180;s easier for the group...
2 - Map settings... Any is O.K., but if we going to play on a pitboss game map size should be standart...
3 - Choosing is better... But forcing random is easier... xP

I like pitboss but if your servers not always going to be PBEM will probably be best.

Map - standard is good.

I'm for random leaders.

I don't use Pit Boss as I only have a brief window to play in the evenings. PBEM I can do...

I'll play on any setting, and without UU's, Random leaders works well (that and I am still not well versed with all the leaders and who has which traits).

Whithout UUs ? o_0

What are you talking about ? Wait we going to play FfH 1 or FfH 2 ???

Think Gnarfflinger misinterpreted, my fault really. I didn't specify FfH2, but am intending to play the newest version of it.

Regarding game style... From the current responses, we have 8 players... Attempting a PBEM with this many people (in my -extremely- limited experience) will be a hurculean task. I expect it would take at least a day to get the turn all the way around, more likely between 2 and 3 days per turn.

However, I could run a pitboss server with minimal interuptions in connectivity (probably overnight every few days). This would allow us to take a minimum of 1 turn a day at least.

For leaders, I'm personally in favor of random, simply because it lessens a veteran players advantage. Someone who has played FfH a lot, and is comfortable with a few of the leaders may end up with something they don't know as well, and will be in the same boat as some of the less experienced people.

For the moment, I'm going to plan on launching the game by Tuesday, Jun 20, pbem or pitboss. Everyone who wants to play send me an email including your Civfanatics nickname, timezone and a leader preference (if you have one, incase we decide to pick them).

Thanks for all the responses, and I look forward to a good game!

On the AI settings, I vote for no AI civs and normal barbarians. The barbarian trait is useless with no barbarians and the Grigori Adventurer becomes less powerful (in relation to other units) when there are more barbarians. I think.

Then I may have to withdraw. I think I only have FFH 1...

No chance you could download the new version?
