Chieftain
Anybody else up for an 18 civ earth/huge random leaders?
Indeed, it's not even been a week since I've been all but destroyed in my very first PBEM which I joined as a noob myself even if I've grown quite bit more experienced since. Didn't help matters that I started near the arctic with no copper next to a top level player.
That's the one where you have six players who have three civs apiece? I've lurked in there a little bit; I see Germany-Russia-Japan (? on the Japan) appears to be doing quite well. Kind of tough to follow intermittently though, since like most PBEM games there are rarely maps posted. I hadn't realized that was your first PBEM.
Don't be too afraid of Knoedel. He talks a big game, but I've yet to actually see him WIN a civ PBEM game to this day.
