C3C PBEM : T(hrone) O(f) B(lood) - Meso-America scenario PBEM

*** GAME STARTED ***


After the successfull ending of Rivers of Blood (with a beautiful victory by Akots who just raced to it in the last few turns before we could do anything, cf : http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=83964), I am organizing a new Meso-America scenario.

This one is mostly aimed at newcomers to get a "feeling" of PBEMs. The game is fast since there are only 3 humans.

Level : Regent or Monarch (please state your preferences).
Accelerated Production : on (development and wars faster) or off (standard development) (please state your preferences).

Otherwise much is opened for discussions as long as an agreement is within reach and can let the game start at one time.

Civs :

Aztecs : Gnarfflinger
Incas : WarningU2
Mayas : Kingstuart
Toltecs : AI
Olmecs :AI
Moche : AI

Players :
- WarningU2 : Incas
- Kingstuart : Mayas
- Gnarfflinger : Aztecs
- AI : Toltecs
- AI : Olmecs
- AI : Moche


How it works :

I will be sending you the play order and e-mails of all players.
You will receive a save called "ToB, 2500 BC" for instance. ToB is short for Throne of Blood. 2500 BC is the turn date.
The first time you play your turn just put that ToB, 2500 BC in your CivIII/Conquests/Saves folder then open Conquests and load the saved game "ToB, 2500 BC".
It will ask you for a password (I advise you to type one in and to immediately send me a PM with in so that I will keep them in case of need) then you play and when the turn is finished, press "enter" and when the game asks you to save, select yes.
Then go to your saves folder, find the new save, rename the part with your name and civ "ToB", keep the date and send it to the enxt player in line,etc...
Then send a mail to the person who sent the save to you with just GPS 'got it, played it, sent it) so that you know where the game is (in case it stalls because it got lost between two players (it happens !)).

would like to sign up..but would prefer a lower difficulty level, like warlord or prince, if possible. regular startup is fine. i am a newcomer to pbem,but love the game.

Do you know of another Meso-American game for a guy like me who's got the hang of how it's supposed to work?

I think we can find you a place, Gnarff !

So you can even launch the game !

BTW Kingstuart, I tried to send you an e-mail but it bounced back. Don't know if it is anti-spam or something else.
Do you have another one ?

I am sending you a PM with my own in case you got to manually accept adresses.

I really like this conquest scenario and I've never played PBEM before, so I'm going to watch this thread with interest...

Sure Boleslav. Can be interesting... or boring if only GPS messages are posted !

BTW sent you a PM before seeing you were here.

Game Launched.

Accelerated production is on, and the difficulty is Regent.

I hope that we can have a good game.

got it played it sent it

king stuart

I have PM'ed Boleslav to offer him first opportunity to replace LLXerxes. I figure that since he's posted to this thread, he should get first crack at the open spot.

I'll be happy to participate and fill in the void ... please email at warningu2@cogeco.ca

I am patched 1.22 and have played this conquest many times.

I am an experienced MP from CIV3Players (the ladder)

Boleslav has declined the place, so I guess that makes you the player for the Incas pending confirmation from LouLong that he didn't offer the spot to someone else.

No, that's fine.

You should probably restart it to have the correct names.

Oops...sorry didn't mean to ignore...I hadn't logged on in a few days. Can't do it but thanks for offer--good luck and happy sacrificing (drums start playing)!

Game Relaunched.

The Aztecs are aggressively marking their territory.

New turn started.

Turn three sent to WarningU2.

We almost have the second city built. The site is in view...

Settlers confirm: Thar's Jade in dem dar hills!

GPS.

Played and sent to WarningU2. The second city is established.

may I suggest a change in the game turn names

ie TOB Turn 1a to me I save TOB Turn 1b to KingStuart, then TOB Turn 1c etc
