Replacement player requested for a PBEM with the storied
Realms Beyond civilization community.
You'll be taking over for me, as I will no longer have steady access to the game come Oct 2nd. The game has a decent pace of about a turn every day. I live in the EST timezone, but typically receive the save early in the morning from a player in Europe and then pass it on to a player who has a wide slot of availability, and so a replacement from almost any time slot should suffice.
The civilization is Rome, leader is Augustus. There are five other civilizations, all human-controlled. Game is on quick speed, standard size, turn is 1360 AD, and most civilizations (including yours) are roughly half-way through the tech tree, finishing off the Middle Ages and starting on Renaissance techs. Tech trading, vassals, and Permanent Alliances are all turned off.
Rome is currently at war with the strongest civilization (Hatsheput of Egypt), but has not lost any cities yet. Rome is in the middle of the pack for score and tech, and has a larger than average military. The position is far from hopeless, although ultimate victory will be admittedly difficult to achieve. Rome has allies, and I will be more than happy to explain the global diplomatic situation via email.
Rome has a public thread for the player to share their thoughts and strategies with lurkers, found
here You are encouraged, but by no means expected, to provide occasional updates. I personally have neglected the thread for months now.
The game is up on the PBEM tracker website
here, but Egypt (the preceding player) will have to email you your save file, as the tracker will not allow him to post it. Finally, the game has a
tech thread to notify the other players of any difficulties in playing the turn, or related issues.
There's a lot more to explain about the game concerning the specifics of Rome's position diplomatically and strategically, but this post is already starting to run long. Please send me an email of interest at Bobchillingworth [at] Gmail (dot) com or a PM, and I'd be glad to get you up to speed. Thanks!
