Rhye's and Fall of the Triumvirates

This game uses the Rhye's and Fall Multiplayer mod. Each player gets three civs to control. There are no AIs. We are currently about to face the beginning of the medieval era and the appearance of many European powers.

Winner is determined by number of UHV conditions fulfilled per player. A victory condition that is counted by the game as such is equal to one point. The death of a civ means one point reduction for its player.

House Rules:

• No spawn killing
• You may not change another player's state religion or civics via espionage unless you have more espionage points invested against them than they do against you at the moment you conduct the mission.
• A master may ask for one resource per turn as tribute of their vassal. If the vassal denies this demand, the master may demand that they break free immediately or at the earliest opportunity if currently not possible. The vassal may cancel these resource shipments as soon as the game allows.

In!

Here's my priority listing for the remaining two pools:

Pool A - Europe:
Rome
England
Netherlands
Portugal
France
Spain
Vikings
Greece

Pool B - Africa, Middle East and Russia:
Persia
Arabia
Carthage
Turkey
Egypt
Ethiopia
Babylon
Mali

Do with me what you will...

... Actually, I meant in general, not per pool, e.g. #1 America, #2 Rome, #3 Persia, so I can switch your civs around in all pools but one if need be. In this example I wouldn't really allow you to get both Persia and Rome for instance, since they both spawn so close together in time which is exactly what I wanted to avoid via priorities.

count me in!

#1 England, #2 Carthage, #3 China

I am in and really would like to support you, so no preferences, which will make your position more flexible. Meaning, if some civs get less love, I will take them. I am fine with America.

Like so:

mmm... on second thoughs, can i change the order?

#1 China, #2 England, #3 Carthage

Ok well... America is locked in, so Netherlands #1, Persia #2

Ah, hell, I'll join this one too.

#1 Egypt, #2 Rome, #3 Aztecs

Excellent, only three more players and we are good to go. Maybe I should make a little advertisement in the other thread, aimed at the people that only get to join later there.

Some pointers for your civ choices: Your #1 priority is the only one you are certain to get, I reserve myself the right to switch the other two, especially #3, if I think it's better for balance. Furthermore expect changes in and around Europe the most, so we don't get a repeat of what happened in the other Triumvirate game. (The world is still suffering at the hands of the Germano-Russian alliance to this very day.) The America and East Asia pool is comparatively safe since most civs there are relatively isolated from the other pools. I hope you keep that in mind and don't pick ridiculously close pairings like Rome-Carthage or Greece-Turkey.

Also I want that every player has at least one of the first 9 civs so everyone gets in on the action as soon as possible.
Now that I look through the list, I'm afraid being both Rome and Egypt isn't possible for that reason, same with China and Carthage, sorry methinkso and academia.

Bump bump - we need 4 more people! Let's get this started!

Actually it's three, and feel free to invite some people you know.

I'm trying! But bumping the tread from the dead doesn't hurt either!

I'm interested, although this will be my first time doing a PBEM, so I don't really know very much about how it works.

I'll play whatever is needed.

Welcome!! We are always willing to bring in new players to our community! You'll see its a very fun community and our games, while slow, can be very exciting...

You are choosing quite the game to join for a first run... you will control 3 civs that start at different times, all in the same game, with the RFC mod... and due to this we can't use any sort of PBEM tracking tool. You will figure it out after a few turns though!

I hope our mighty admin is ready to deal with the administrative nightmares of running this game

Oh yeah, and since I can't have Egypt and Rome, feel free to switch my number 2 choice to Spain instead.

*bump* Come on people, only two more!
