C3C PBEM : Age of Wonders - Mesopotamia

[LouLong]

*** GAME STARTED ***

Hi, this is the thread for the new PBEM game I plan on starting.

It is for Conquests, using the MP version of the Mesopotamia scenario and the patch 1.20.

No preselection of civs. I have picked up civs randomly for everybody (so no complains please !), the results are as follow :

Civs : 7

Babylon - El_Oso
Egypt - MFCamillus
Hittites - fanste
Medes - EliitMees
Mycenes - Loulong
Phoenicia - Greybeard
Sumer - Portuga

Players : 7
1. Loulong
2. MFCamillus
3. fanste
4. Greybeard
5. Portuga
6. EliitMees
7. El Oso

You want to be in ? You have further questions ? Post in this thread or send me a PM.

Organization : the game will be called AoW to be recognizable and when you get the game, send a mail to inform the sender you got it.

And long live the age of chariots and Wonders !

Sounds good, sign me up
btw, would it be better to use 1.20 or 1.22?

 

[GreyBeard]

I'd like to play. It would nice if we could get the full seven players.

I already use 1.20 in the PBEM I am in. Sounds much more flexible.

Yep, but in case we might give Phoenicia to AI I think.

Is is necessary to bump up to 1.20? I'm still playing a game on 1.15. If not, I'll join. If it is, oh well.

 

[LouLong]

Yep, 1.20.
What you could do (I tried but failed to do it prooerly, had to reinstall everything so I don't want to mess with it again) is to duplicate your Civ3 folder and to update this new one with 1.20... ??

 

[LouLong]

If we don't get a 7th player by tomorrow, I propose we start and use an AI for Phoenicia (in the middle !).

Tell me what you think about it and for those who haven't (fanste,...), please send me your e-mail address by PM.

 

[EliitMees]

There's no need to duplicate entire Civ3 folder.
I just made copy of Conquests folder within Civ3 folder and renamed it to C3C1.15, and then updated original Conquests to 1.20. It works perfectly.

 

[GreyBeard]

LouLong: Sounds like a plan to me. I am GMT -4 if that makes any difference in the order of play.

 

[EL_OSO]

Count me in for #7.

el_oso AT warofinfamy.com

GMT - 6 here.

 

[LouLong]

OK we are full (hopefully everyone remembers they volunteered ).

Civs were picked up absolutely randomly.

I will send ASAP a mail to all players to see everybody is ready and including some "rules".

Since I have never seen a PBEM go faster than a turn per week (after it became routine), I don't think time lines will be that important. As the creator, I will need to modify the MP file so that Mycenia starts though. Nothing else will be changed.

Happy game !

 

[LouLong]

BTW just realized MFCamillus did not send me his e-mail.
If you read this, please send it to me...
Does someone else knows it ?
Cannot contact him by mail through the board.

 

[MFCamillus]

PM and eMail sent.

 

[LouLong]

OK !
Game started !

 

[EL_OSO]

Did you send this email yet? I haven't received it.

 

[LouLong]

Yes I did, and I got no return post from your provider...

Let me know if you don't receive it. I will send it again.
