Colonies III PBEM game

[Patient English]

I'm looking forward to this. Should test the scenario wonderfully. I am happy to use a keyholder. Will it be Duke?

I will post the full turn order tonight, but to get us started, the English move first.

Off you go Academia...

(I assume we are playing a Prince [Navigator] level, open game?)

Any special rules you want to play?

 

[academia]

ok. shall i start the game?
i mean, i´ve never started a PBEM before, so i´m not sure how to do it. you know, which options should i choose

 

[Darius]

Multiplayer Game -> Network Game -> TCP/IP -> Begin Scenario -> pick the scenario -> pick your tribe -> play the turn -> post it.

 

[Case]

...and as Patient/John mentioned, make sure that you pick the Prince [Navigator] difficulty level (this minimises the AI screwing around with the game, and makes combat fairer)

BTW, Here's FMK and Henrik's fine PBEM guide for those who havn't seen it yet

 

[academia]

Are you sure that i´m the first one to play? There were movement before my turn. For example, the Iroquis sent a diplomat to talk with me.
It seems that Holland is the first one.
For you to know: I have the 3.12 version made by John Ellis.

Seriously, i tried several times. But holland is the first in my game.

 

[Darius]

The color at the lower left of the screen was orange, but the beginner according to my testing is definitely the British. Perhaps the orange is their core color but scenario creation gave their cities and flags red. And perhaps the Iroqouis only did that because they had a unit next to one of yours.

 

[academia]

Ok Darius. i´ll begin it.

 

[academia]

Ready.
I hope it´s ok.

 

[Darius]

damn, turns out it was the Dutch. Why didn't anyone post an order here?

 

[academia]

Damn!! I was right
Please, could the guy who is playing with the dutch start the game?

 

[Patient English]

You are right of course! The Dutch start. What confused me was that the English started in my current Colonies game (and that has lead to some problems with Dutch diplomacy).

Sorry about that guys. My fault.

 

[Case]

Yop, can you get this started?

 

[Yop73]

I am ready, but I expect some pm's, so I can see how to do my first turn. Hopefully, I'll recieve them tonight. However, if I don't have them yet by tomorrow 15.00 h, I'll play the turn.
Thanx for your patience.

 

[academia]

Yop!!! Your mailbox is full!!! I can´t send you PM!!!

 

[Yop73]

It's emptied now.
First turn. After a decline of a peace proposal by the Spanish, we see obliged to take back the Southern Netherlands manu militari. Antwerp was liberated and a Spanish war ship was send to the bottom of the ocean. That was all.

 

[Darius]

The wise Sitting Bull realizes the threat of the white man from the east and decides that in order to maintain her survival, the Sioux nation must adopt some of their customs. This is leading to improvement of sioux territory and villages.

I also am willing to discuss alliances with any of my European neighbors, as that may be the only way to survive.

 

[Case]

I don't think that anyone has posted this yet:

*Dutch
*Sioux
*Iroquois
*French
*Spanish
*Huron
*English

 

[Duke of Marlbrough]

BTW, I've only gotten one password so far. You can send me the one you plan to use instead of waiting until your actual turn, if you prefer.

 

[academia]

Thanx Case!!
I really need it. I hope it´s ok

 

[Patient English]

Well done Case. I was about to post it myself. I can confirm the order is correct, academia. Just for completeness, the independents move after the Dutch and before the Sioux.

It is my turn now, and I shall play tonight. I too am open to negotiations. I'm feeling particularly friendly to the English at the moment.....

Darius, is your great nation only open to European discussions, or are you looking for Native alliances as well...?

Duke, I will send you my password tonight as well. PM or email?
