4-Player Conquest

[deshelbr]

In case anyone is wondering, I'm the one holding up the game again. I got shipped out to New York on sudden notice Sunday morning. I have just now gotten Civ3 (w/ Conquests) installed on my laptop and need to patch it up to the current version. I'll probably be able to send my move in about 10 hours due to logistics.

I apologize again for being the bottleneck. I'm really enjoying this game.

 

[ironduck]

Thanks for letting us know - hey, are you enjoying it in spite of the crazy berserkers ravaging your shores, even?

 

[deshelbr]

If Germany and France can keep you busy and you leave me alone long enough, I'll return the favor.

Of course if you knock me out it wouldn't be the first time a Dane sat on the throne in London.

As long as you don't take it personal in any way

I've been in another game where a brutal war was taken rather personal despite reassurances to the opposite outside the game.. then it's no longer fun. I have several reasons for picking so hard on you (although you're not the only one I'm at war with..), one of them being that you can build a threatening fleet - you already sunk one of my longships loaded with berserkers, that was a real wake up call for me!

 

[deshelbr]

It's cool, I totally understand. I don't mind playing on the defensive, you have to play with the hand you are dealt. This will have no bearing on our out-of-game relationship and I would definitely play another game with you in the future.

However, I'd want you on my team next time.

 

[ironduck]

Glad you understand

It's been a lot of fun for me to play a very offensive game for once, changes the nature of the game rather radically..

12d to ironduck

and it's still peace and quiet in Byzantine

 

[ironduck]

At least you have begun making contacts

 

[ironduck]

Ok, I just patched to 1.20 - has everyone done so? As far as I understand saves from 1.20 won't work with older versions, so everyone has to patch.

Also, who's holding the turn?

 

[ironduck]

Umm... hello? Anyone? Who has the turn? I sent 12e to deshelbr 31/3..

Also, 1.22 patch has been released.


Edit: I just tried loading a 1.20 save after patching to 1.22 and it doesn't work. So ignore that patch until they fix *that* problem too..

Paging Deshelbr to the white courtesy phone.
We should all stay on v1.2 if possible

 

[EliitMees]

it's almost a week since I last played this game
hey, this is one of my favourite PBEMs!

 

[ironduck]

I mailed deshelbr, hopefully he'll get online soon..

 

[deshelbr]

Whoa, my bad again. I haven't been checking this thread. I don't think I ever got the last turn. Could you mail it to me again Ironduck?

Sorry about that.

 

[ironduck]

Ok, resent 12e to deshelbr. Could you send me an 'ok' reply when you get the round? It's much easier to figure out if it gets lost then..

 

[ironduck]

deshelbr, did you send it yet? Game still seems stuck..

 

[deshelbr]

ACK!!! I'm having a lot of problems these last couple of weeks. I thought I sent it, but it was just sitting in my outbox. I have passed it on now. Will try to behave better going forward.

 

[Rocinante]

13b sent to Portuga

 

[ironduck]

Whoo! 13e sent to deshelbr

 

[deshelbr]

14a sent to Rocky.
