Fourth Colonies PBEM

[Aravorn]

At the request of Yop73we are going to start up a FOURTH Colonies 3.2 PBEM. This is essentially John Eliss's Colonies Scenario version 3.12 with the following changes to better balance the scenario for multiplayer:

1) No Jesuits or Ambassadors (no bribing of cities or stealing techs)
2) A higher tech paradigm (longer time between discoveries)
3) More expensive Trade units, with no "freight unit" bonus for Merchants. (As humans use them better)
4) Randomizing the time when the major pirates appear, and to some extent, their location too.

The current lineup is as follows and in the order of play:

This has been edited:
Sioux: AI
Iroquois: AI
French: conmcb25
Spanish: FiGu
Huron: AI
English: diatribe
Dutch: Yop73

I would rather the AI control the Native Civs in this scenario, it makes for a faster game with only four active players.

No cheaters please.
I am looking for one other person to play the English who is committed to a fast turn around in playing turns. I've been watching this forum for several months now and the lack of speed in some of these games is astounding. So if you can't commit to a fast turn around please dont volunteer to play. In the other two Colony threads I started we are averaging about 5 turns per week. This is a 140 turn game so fast turn around time is essential.

And I reserve the right to Bump whenever I feel like it. No "Union rules" Bumping in this thread.

Thanks

And the first turn will be later!

And the file has been deleated due to incorrect starting info.

I'll be the English but you need to tell me where the scenario can be d/led.

 

[Aravorn]

Choke

We would be glad to have you on board but there is a few things you should know first.

This is a build your trade and Colonize the New World Scenario, not an attack all the European powers scenario. It is tough to attack anyone in Europe for about the whole first half of the game as Overlord, Darius, Yop73 and I are learning from Third Colonies.

You have a budget deficet at the beginning and your whole focas for the first 30 to 40 turns is building trade and eliminating the trade deficet.

With that being said if you still want to play the three of us are expecting a fast turn around so you need to check the thread just about every day. The GOAL is to play once a day, it wont always happen but that is the goal. Or else we will be playing this one three Xmass'es from now.

And we dont want drop outs, Im sick of drop outs screwing up a game like what happened at the Boney game at Aploy.

Im just trying to be upfront here on the expectations.

You still want in? The d/l shortcut is in the first post.

Thanks

FOURTH Colonies PBEM, and I'm the madman?

Anyway if you can't find anybody I'll take the English, but only if you can't find anybody.

Edit: ne'mind, I see Choke took it.

I still haven't hit 20 plus, and that was your quote a while back. With the boney Tourney you must be close to 30. Now that is a mad man

 

[Yop73]

Hey Conmcb. WTH is the turn-post doing here?
We're gonna start from the beginning, right???

 

[Darius]

Well I did the tourney as a favor, it's not like I want another 8. Not a madman, a nice guy.

Whoa settle down, the French are first arent they? That is the way it is listed when you start the scenario? If not it is my mistake, but please make sure first.

 

[Yop73]

Holland is first, and the scen begins in 1659.
But first I wanna do some diplomacy, before the action takes place.

Then the turn order is incorrect in the start up menu and turn start menu, see below.

If you want diplomacy, Im here so lets talk.

Ok, I am moving soon so I can't promise I'll be able to keep the game moving for a while between moving and getting the internet hooked up, so I will not play in this game.

 

[Yop73]

Antwerp recaptured. We now want peace with the Spanish king, and to prove this, we didn't attack or kill any other Spanish unit than the ones stationned in and around Antwerp. For me, the war is over.
We would also like to make peace with the English. Because the English general in north America (the AI) has declared war on the Dutch settlers there. We have no intention at all to destroy or kill any English units, and we hope they agree too on making peace.

Roger that, we will keep you in mind for a sub if necessary in the future. Are you OK with that?

 

[Aravorn]

YOP

Can I assume the French are next?
