I play 2 tribes against myself often, and it looks cool in a PBEM, too...but I've got 5 other PBEM's going...

 

[Salte]

Count me in.
Edit: I'll play as the koreans and the dutch if it's ok.

 

[Calis]

Maybe I am going to regret this but I'll try with the English and the Ottomans, hoping the map is not too much pro AGR

One question: Can I trade and ally with the tribes of other humans or is it always war?

 

[Hawklord]

i'll be up for this too.
any 2 random civs. makes life more interesting.
I'm GMT 0

 

[Salte]

One question: Can I trade and ally with the tribes of other humans or is it always war?

I'd prefer always war.
But that's no surprise coming from me.

 

[Calis]

I'd prefer always war.
But that's no surprise coming from me.

I am just curious. I'm fine with both...

 

[Salte]

I am just curious. I'm fine with both...

I know.
I was just making my preference known in case the decision was not made yet.
But I'm fine with both as well. Just prefer one over the other.

 

[denyd]

I wasn't planning on it being AW, so I'll leave it to each player to chart their own course.

One question: Can I trade and ally with the tribes of other humans or is it always war?

Yes, but it'll probably be late AA to mid-MM before you're able to meet them.

BTW: England & Ottomans, Man-O-War with Siphai along for the ride

I'll pass along the tribe selections to GBNO1Fan and get back once we've started. I'm near LA and with everyone else in Europe, so the order will probably be Calis -> Salte -> Hawklord -> DenyD

I still need Hawklord's e-mail (you can either post it here or PM it to me).

BTW: If there's enough interest for a second game with the same parameters, I'd be happy to set one up.

 

[Calis]

BTW: England & Ottomans, Man-O-War with Siphai along for the ride

Yes, I think it can be a strong combo. But whatever is going to happen, I find it at least to be an interesting combination..

 

[gbno1fan]

I'm excited to make the map - will get to work on it soon.

 

[Hasdrubal Barca]

BTW: If there's enough interest for a second game with the same parameters, I'd be happy to set one up.

I´m interested in a game with this setup, i didn´t see this in time...sniff...but if you set up a second that would be excellent!

Edit: My choices are Carthage and Celts.

 

[denyd]

Ok, that's one for game # 2 (if needed, I'll play both games)

Oh, mapmaker, you up for making a second map?

 

[Calis]

If partitipants are missing, I'd also join a second game...But others should have the first shot of course...

 

[gbno1fan]

I could probably make a second map. I just came up with what seems to be an ideal setup though - now I'll have to think of another way to do it.

 

[flyingkitty]

I'll join you guys for a 2nd map unless you find another player eager to join. I'll be committed once I join though, I currently only have 1 civ3 pbem being played and I have enough time for another 3-5 games

My choices for the game will be:
1) Babylon
2) Sumeria

 

[denyd]

Ok, we've got enough for a 2nd game - I've updated post 1 with the players info

I'll need tribe choices from Calis & H.Barca

Once we have the map, I'll start a 2nd thread for Game 2

Any questions from either games players?

For all lurkers, both Calis & I are playing to fill out the game. If you'd like our spots, please let us know.

 

[Hasdrubal Barca]

Carthage & Celts

 

[Calis]

Maya & Byzantines for the second game...

EDIT: Sorry, overlooked that DenyD already picked the Mayans. I'll think about my tribes a while...

EDIT2: Alright, give me Russia & the Netherlands, please...

 

[denyd]

All set - roster updated in post # 1
