I'm willing to host a PBEM game for 4 to 6 players in Conquests.

Players should be able to play at least once every day.

I'm planning on a standard or small map with random settings and accelerated production 'on' to speed up game play but I'll go with the majority flow.

Anybody interested?

It will be my first hosting and first PBEM (I just joined another but I don't think it is going anywhere soon)

Send email address to join up.

I'm on the west coast and would like to play against other Americans, North or South.

Please be willing and able to construct full sentences in English--insults and taunts are so much more effective when your enemy can understand them. "All your base are belong to us!"
 
So are us Australians excluded or may we join? If so reserve me a position. I'll get back to you with more details later.
 
Excellent news, what kind of setting should we use? I was hoping to use some settings that will make the game go faster, like a small map and accelerated production.

I can often play for short periods mornings, afternoons, evenings, and late night but never know what my schedule will be before hand. I often work 'in the field' during the day but am often at home all day working on the computer.

I'm sure the other game will get going sooner or later but it may be fun to have two going at once with mostly the same cast--the politics could splash over from one game to the next.
 
Ok, this means i'm in THREE PBEM games at once, but none are even doing jack so.... let's go!

I think the three of us are way active, and just one more is necessary for a good game, especially on a small map. I think 4 is fine, but if you wanna do 6 no problem, it'll just take a bit longer and there is more risk of a stall.

ALso, i'm not a huge fan of AC, but i guess as long as there are no AI to screw us with it, i'm ok.
 
Okay, a small map, no accelerated production, 4 players and no AI. Sounds like a free-for-all. Pan, arch, random? lots of water, no water...
No one likes to be stuck in jungle but should we go random settings or what? I really don't give a rip about the settings so help me out here.

Rocinante-I'm Egypt in the other game so I'll stuck with it here--can you spell Cleopatricide?
CaptainCommando-??
Kaboth-??
 
Rocinante I recommend opening the conquests editor and select generate map from the menus and try a few different settings, get a feel for the type of terrain each setting will create. The choose whatever you want. Personally I like as many grass/jungle/marsh squares with a modest amount of hills/mountains and pangea 60%. But do as you wish when you've picked settings I'll pick a civ to play as.
 
I will play if there is a spot left. I play 9:00PM-midnight EST. I want to be random civ. My e-mail is greeneclan AT mchsi DOT com
 
Okay, I'm going to go ahead and generate the map--I'll post the particulars and then Kaboth can choose his civ and we'll get started. If anyone else shows up between now and then I'll probably let them in the game if they seem okay.

Thanks for joining Dogboy, we play the same hours, cool--I'll set your civ to random.

this may not be the order of play--I'll set the order and give out email addresses as needed:
Rocinante-Egypt
CaptainCommando-Persia (gotta love those immortals)
Kaboth-tba
Dogboy-random
 
Here are the settings except one--do we want culturally linked start locations?

otherwise it is:
Monarch
no AI
restless barbs
pangea 60% H20
normal climate
temperate
4 billion years
allow cultural conversions
preserve random seed
usual win conditions

these can still be changed so pipe up if you have ideas.
 
I don't really have much of a preference with CUlterlly linked start locations. I usually put it o njust because it 'makes sense,' but in a multiplayer gam ei don't reall ycare. If anyone has a preference make sure to speak up.
 
Cultural linked postions don't matter to me. All the other settings look fine. But I didn't see the land size?
 
I say turn off culturally linked start location; it makes it easier to predict who may start near you.

I'm GMT+10 timezone. email: joshthecybs at hotmail dot com

I shall play as Iroquis. Name Kaboth. Title Lord.
 
Sorry to leave off the size--small map

No culturally linked start positions

otherwise the same as above

If I don't have to go first I'd like the order to be
Kaboth-Iroquois--Lord Kaboth
Dogboy-random
CaptainCommando-Persians
Rocinante-Egypt

I'll send the game asap

Dogboy, CC's email is captainketchup_ AT hotmail DOT com
 
The game has been sent to Kaboth.

I had to go first, have a pretty good spot with grassland near a river and jungle ( I hate jungle ). I was a bit undecided as to whether to move my settler or not but since I had thought of going last anyway--I did move my settler.

I should be able to play every day for the foreseeable future. Please let the group know ahead of time if you have to miss a day.

I asked for a chat room for our game but haven't heard back yet.
 
4000 bc sent to Dogboy
 
I'd just like to say i'll be gone friday night through sunday, but i'll be back sunday night. UNfortunately i didn't see this one coming, i though i'd be free this weekend, but alas, i'll be gone. FOrtunately, i can play friday afternoon and sunday night, so really i'm only completely losing Saturday so it's not that bad.
 
Dogboy just posted on another thread saying he has had some problems getting email. Maybe Kaboth should resend the file.
