hi!
Is there still a civ left? i'd like to join in, but have never played PBEM before. how long does a game like this take? I may be out for some 5 days in late feb and a week in mid march, would that be too much of a problem?

Hi magog! Yes, there's one spot remaining and you're in! Let me know what tribe you'd like to play within the next 24 hours, otherwise you'll get a randomly picked civ.
You can expect this game to take more than a year to complete, perhaps two years. Time off is generally not a problem, unless it's going to be for two weeks or longer. Just let me know with as much advance notice as possible.
We begin the game with the following confirmed players:
heihojin - random civ
purvisxiii - random civ
DogBoy - Persians, customized as "Magnificent Persians"
Vancouver2010 - Americans, customized as "Canadians"
fanste - Ottomans
Portuga - Egyptians
magog - Celts, customized as "Moravians"
Rubberjello - random civ
I just sent the welcome e-mail and the 4000 BC turn. When you receive the welcome e-mail, please send me a short reply indicating that you have received it. If for some reason you have not received it, please let me know as well.
Be sure to read the welcome e-mail before playing your first turn. Remember to carbon-copy me on all turn sends and confirmation receipts for the first turn only.
DogBoy and magog: There was not enough room to fit your customized Formal labels, and so I concatenated them to "Persian Empire" and "Moravian Empire" respectively.

heihojin,
I was wondering could I use your rules and similar settings for my own PBEM game that I plan to post here? They seem to be recognised well in the community as a good game to play so I thought it'd be great to use while we all wait for your next game.

Thanks a lot,
Just one quick question though how do you organise the order in which people play. Do you check the day time for each persons timezone and then make sure they fit in the order according to their afternoon/evening which should be the time most people would check their email to play their turn?
hi guys, as i said before i won't be able to play during the weekend (till wednesday morning). I have just sent 3900 Sav to Portuga who probably still can't play at weekends, so I hope I won't cause any long delay as it will take a day or two from Monday before the save gets back again to me. thanks
I will be out of town this weekend. I will play my turn Friday night before I leave, and I will be back Sunday night. So basically I will only miss Saturday night. Sorry for the inconvenience.
i will be away this week and not playing until monday 29th evening. I am very sorry, have to have a vacation.
by the way why is it that my capital shows as the top 1 city? is it more or less random or does it have any reason? It is a beautiful city and I hope it stays on the top but why now, all the cities must be more or less the same at this point?
It seems I was a little hasty in requesting the upgrade to v1.20, as I simply assumed (wrongly) that Firaxis gave a damn about their PBEM players. Once again, their fumbling developers have screwed us and I am forced to ask you to maintain an obsolete v1.15 Beta installation.
It is relatively simple to maintain two distinct installations of Conquests. If you haven't yet upgraded, and are still using v1.15 Beta:
Rename the Civilization III\Conquests folder to "Conquests v1.15 Beta" or something like that.
Uninstall Conquests with "Add/Remove Programs" from your Control Panel.
Reinstall Conquests to the default folder.
Install the patches for both v1.20 and v1.22.
If you have already installed the v1.20 or v1.22 patches, you can follow the above steps to rename your Conquests folder to "Conquests v1.22", uninstall Conquests, reinstall Conquests, and then install the v1.15 Beta patch. Thankfully, all three patches can still be found at http://www.civfanatics.com/civ3patches.shtml.
I have sent what I'm sure will be the first of many negative feedback submissions to Firaxis. If you would like to add your two cents and let them know how miserable they've made your game-playing experience, the URL is http://www.firaxis.com/contact_gamefeedback.cfm.
