anyone want to try PBEM?

[jguy100]

Anyone up for a play-by-email (ok, cloud) game? I'd prefer a comp-stomp, but I wouldn't mind doing a versus game. I can dedicate enough time for at least one turn a day. I think a slow, long lasting game would be fun.

Skill wise, all my wins have been peaceful ambition victories on The Able or The Good. So that's where I'm at.

 

[PiR]

I'm in!
Allies vs AI or competitors?
I've had my first game as the Good and just finished Carthage campaign as the Strong. But I tend to undo too much.

 

[jguy100]

@PiR awesome! I'm leaning toward Allies vs AI. If we don't hear back from anyone else in the next day or so, I'll PM you my details and we can get started.

Also - you mention using "undo" as a bad thing. I'm going to have to disagree

I'll join if you don't mind.

Perfect!

That's one of the best features of the game! But I don't think you can undo a whole turn in MP.

Awesome!!

Can or should???

 

[PiR]

Well that would require all players to agree, at least. Not sure this is implemented? We'll see

 

[Dale]

There's no Undo in MP.

 

[nolegskitten]

oh hi ! Has this game started already ?

 

[jguy100]

Sorry you just missed it!

 

[nolegskitten]

Sorry you just missed it!

No problem, I was slow !

Never played a comp stomp and I'm curious about how that works, and also how the AI behaves in MP. There will be other opportunities.

Have a great game everyone !

 

[jguy100]

I’ll make sure to message you before the next one starts

 

[Taefin]

Haha in 3 months

My PC is in the shop, but this sounds like it’d be interesting on the Great, spend the whole day thinking about if you should harvest that marble or that sheep. Actually have time to keep track of who the key members of each of your families are.

 

[PiR]

We can still have 2 multi CFC games open, that's fine for me. We spend more time "waiting" than playing

 

[Taefin]

Oh lol good point, well I’m down for a game on the Great in a few days and when I revive my PC (would folks we want AI adv? Maybe the easier 50% one?).

 

[PiR]

Well in the current game we are 3 humans vs 2 AI vs 2AI so maybe something different, if we are many humans altogether against a very strong AI for example?

 

[Taefin]

Oh are you in a national alliance? So it’s suddenly world war the entire game? That could definitely apply pretty strong pressure on the player neighboring 2 AI, though @nolegskitten (lol I just got that when I finally typed it) will probably be running around capping their cities on T10.

 

[PiR]

I guess our fates are locked together yes, but I'm not sure we are at constant war with the others, I'll know when we've met them. At least we start with shared exploration!

I'm happy to go with whatever settings other will want, but @Taefin you might be overestimating me ;-)
On "The Great" AI are never to be trifled with too early, massive development is no joke.
