*** GAME STARTED ***

Hi, this is the thread for the new PBEM game I plan on starting (tell me if it is one too many :D ).

It is for Conquests, using the MP version of the Rise of Rome scenario and the patch 1.22.
So you need to have both Conquests and the patch 1.22 installed on your computer.

Civs have been attributed randomly (save for Egypt that people did not really seem to want).

Carthage - Ironduck
Celts - AI
Egypt - Loulong
Goths - AI
Macedonia - Akots
Persia - Rocinante
Rome - Rubberjello
Scythes - AI



Players : 8 (Celts, Goths and Scythes could be played by AI but then they would need to be beefed up)

1. Loulong -Egypt
2. Rubberjello - Rome
3. ironduck - Carthage
4. akots - Macedonia
5. Rocinante - Persia
6. AI
7. AI
8. AI

You want to be in ? You have further questions ? Post in this thread or send me a PM. If ready to join, send me a PM with your e-mail.

Organization : the game will be called Rise of Rome (RoR) to be recognizable and when you get the game, send a mail to inform the sender you got it.
 
I'd like to join as well :) How can we be attributed to Celts, Scythes, or Goths though? You would have to mod the game for that.. if you do that you need to allow them the full tech tree or it's too unfair imo..

I think they can be played, albeit with a quite different strategy obviously. But I am not gonna force anybody to use them. As I wrote (I had forgotten to mention the celts though) they could be played by the AI. But in this case I am afraid it might male it too easy for some civs (Rome / Celts or Goths or Persians / Scythes).
I have seen a victory screen of someone who played with the Celts in the Conquests sub-forum. The tech-tree is limited but it is still possible to win, mostly through quantity warfare. An army of gallic warriors can be devastating at the hands of a human player.

Another question : I have successfully upgraded to 1.22 as an alternative so this PBEM can be played with 1.20 or 1.22 provided everybody agree on it (1.22 might attract more players ?)
 
It would be of interest to play. Can you sigh me up for it please. One of four major civs Rome, Persia, Carthage, or Greece if possible.
 
Hmm.. I was not receiving updates to this thread, hope it works now.

I vote against 1.22 because my other games are locked at 1.20 since 1.22 isn't backwards compatible.. I figure at some point they will release a patch that will make upgrading pbems possible like it was with the prior patches.. They had better!
 
Definitive settings :

- Patch 1.22 (ironduck, you just need to copy your Conquests folder and upgrade this copy to 1.22 then create a 1.22 shortcut for easy access on your desktop. I am doing that at the moment and itis working OK. I am not sure iraxis will release something bacward compatible (after all, 1.22 does not accept 1.20 SAV).

- Level : Emperor

- Human players : Rome, Carhage, Macedonia, Persia, Egypt.

Just one more player needed
 
Errr...Point of fact here. The Egypt player would be kind of screwed. It is in a very weak position compared to the major players of Rome, Carthage, Macedonia, and Persia.
I'm not saying its unwinnable. But it is darn near it unless the player is very savvy and lucky diplomatically. It is really just as weak as the Scythians or Celts.

OK, I will take Egypt then :D

@ acubed : OK

@ Portuga : why are there always 2 people who volunteer at the same time when the last position has been opened for some days...
If ironduck has a pb with 1.22 then you can get his place !

@ Ironduck : we are using 1.22. Are you OK with it... or not ? It is actually very simple to install both on your computer (now I know it is easy).
 
I'm still not receiving updates to this thread - anyone know how to fix it? I receive updates to other threads just fine..

I'll try to make a copy for 1.22 then, if I end up getting a lot of headaches out of it I'll take my anger out on Egypt :D

For that, get in line (my little finger tells me Persia is first for that).

About updates, :confused: maybe there"s a maximum number of threads you can subsribe too and your quota is already full.
Tell me when you are done upgrading.

Oops, edit : just realized you left your address.

Planning e-mail to be sent tomorrow morning.
 
Naw I'm not subscribing to many threads, it's just not working for some reason.. I should have the update ready when I receive my turn.
 
Turn sent to Akots.

Ok, this was weird. I replied to LouLong's info mail and got a reply back again (Ludovic Dias) in french that apparently said something about a mess up with the email addresses or something.. but it came back from the same address and same name as the original mail I received about civ. Can't say I've tried that before ;) - what mail should I send to LouLong?

What I wanted to ask was that you mail us a list of the names, civs, and email addresses so we have it handy for negotiations..

Also, I'm still not receiving updates to this thread, so I may miss out on announcements that are made here.
 
Is your name Marc Severin ?

Then I replied in French because the name sounded French to me.

And about the mails of the other people, you have them in the planning mail, that is what I said.

Don't worry about the updates here. Most infos will be done by mail from now on...

Assyria and Bulgaria feel overpowered. The rest of the Civs should too.
