Anarres versus ERIKK PBEM

[col]

Tensions lessen as the treaty is signed.

"There have been some terrible events but they are all behind me now. . . . I have in my hand a piece of paper"says your correspondent from the privacy of a small room.

"Peace in our time" is the cry from the people.

However the arms race begins .......

 

[WildFire]

Wow, i wonder if it will really last that long...

 

[anarres]

ERIKK and I have both said we will play with honour.

We expect to be judged on our actions here, so I doubt if either one of us would break the treaty.

I can't envisage breaking a treaty unless I felt it was the only way to survive, and that certainly isn't the case in this game for either ERIKK or me.

Of course I could be lying, but then who would ever trade with me again?

I hope you can play 135 tonight so that i can play the following turn tomorrow morning, before leaving!

See you sunday evening late!

 

[anarres]

Playing 135 now.

It's good to know you've finally thrown off the despotic government in favour of good old anarchy

Are you sure?

 

[anarres]

s**t. I was playing 135, and I have the save game for it. I must have sent you 134, but I really can't say why

 

[Dragoten]

I have not tried a PBEM game with AI players yet...are you both able to see what the AI does? It has been a major problem in my hotseat games...

 

[anarres]

I think I get to see players 2 and 3 (i am player 4), and Mel gets to see players 5,6,7 and 8. It's not very good really

I don't think they thought PBEM would be played so much. And it wouldn't if the other modes were playable...

Hey, where am I in this game? I know what you are talking about, you must be mistaken which thread (of many) this is!

Anyway, sent 137. What happened to these destroyed cities? IIRC you lost a third city now! (Two forman Roman, one former Zulu. Did you disband them?)

 

[anarres]

Sorry guys, I was replying to too many threads at once...

ERIKK - Yes, abandoned them. They were not doing anything useful, and required a unit in to defend.

 

[ERIKK]

Well, the first week we played about 110 turns, the second week about 27. This is because we did not had that many time to play (especially this weekend) and the turns take lots longer now.

The American golden age has ended and the nation is currently in Anarchy! Meanwhile our forces are on the offensive again. The next turns the new Ottoman cities will be taken and the remaining desert Indian city too (of lesser importance).

Once America becomes a republic our advisors expect us to grow and be properous again! Currently the 4th and 5th luxioury are being hooked up so that happiness is beeing secured.

 

[anarres]

There promises to be a long period of peace. Who can say what the two nations are doing internally, as they have stopped trading demographics and technology, and still haven't founded embassies in each others capitals

Only one thing is certain. Without meaningful exchange of tech and culture, peace can not last forever

 

[ERIKK]

We should post our demographics again!
We can trade luxiouries!
Got two techs to trade with you!

 

[anarres]

Demographics
Posting your demographics and mine would only be fair once you emerge from anarchy, as all your stats are meaningless otherwise.

Luxuries
Lux trades are on the cards. I suggest we road our empires together through the Ottomans empire.

Techs
If you are still refering to Republic and Chivalry then forget it. I told you already I don't want them, and definately not for Invention

If on the other hand you have researched Theology then I might be interested.

I think these symbols are the convential symbols for military maps: http://www.dean.usma.edu/history/dhistorymaps/WWIIPages/WWIIEurope/ww2e_tos.htm

If anybody knows a site with better symbols, please let me know!

BTW, check this site for great battle/strategic maps: http://www.dean.usma.edu/history/dhistorymaps/WWIIPages/WWIIEurope/WWIIEToC.htm

If you use that he will know right away what is where and how to react

 

[ERIKK]

I have been experimenting with word 2000 and PSP7 for creating a nice map. This is the result. For me it is a clear map but I am certain it is a unclear mess for others. I am not totally content with it either...

Black and with seemed the best solution. Note that the numbers and letters are in fading greyscale. I saw that to late and was to lazy to start all over again

First Infantry regiment

First Infantry batallion

First Cavalry regiment

First Attilery batallion

Third Infantry batallion

1 civ-unit can be a batallion
3 civ-units can be a regiment
6 civ-units can be a brigade
18 civ-units can be a division
32 civ-units can be a corps

If you use that he will know right away what is where and how to react

I think I will post it after the battles. Otherwise it would indeed be foolish.

Let me know what you think and if you have advise, pleae let me know!
