Ok, we are ready, I'll start it soon.

What should our landmass, world size, water coverage, barbs, climate, temperature, age, and difficulty be?

Probably normal for all of them except barbs, size, and difficulty.

So what do you think?

I'm happy with any settings though the map size should correspond to the number of civs. We have 5 humans. Are we including any AIs? I prefer the middle range of difficulty but I'll play any level.

You know what: Can I change my leader name to my own: "Plexus"? Thanks.

Let's decide on the settings so we can fire this one up!

 

[FortyJ]

My recommendations for world settings are:

Map Size:		Standard (if we add comps for 8 total civs)
			Small (if it's just us five...)
Barbarians:		Random
Map Type:		Random
Climate, Age, etc.:	Random

Victory Conditions:	classic Civ3 plus any of the new ones
			(if so desired)
Accel Prod:		Yes or No (doesn't matter to me)

 

[donsig]

I'd say no to accel prod. I like classic Civ3.

 

[gunning1]

Ok, so standard map size, should we take out the AI first, and trade techs with each other, or should we be totally dependant upon ourselves? BTW, I'll have to start this tomorrow after school.

Can I still join? Pretty Please?

 

[donsig]

Well, if we include the Donut Guy we'll have six humans. Why not just play without the AI? That would be very interesting... Every man for himself!

 

[FortyJ]

On Accel. Production
Yes, keeping it off does preserve the "classic" civ feel, but turning it on allows for shorter games which seems to be more practical in PBEM games. If we are able to each play an average of one turn per day, it will take 540 days to reach 2050AD. In other words, we would reach 2050 AD sometime in May of 2004!

On playing only humans...
I think that would be a very interesting game. Are there any other PBEM games with eight players yet? It could be a lot of fun. If we did this, we should also structure the order of players by what time of day they can play (ie, morning, evening, etc.) and require a certain time limit on moves, so that we don't end up waiting a week between turns.

 

[donsig]

Hey FortyJ, what makes you think we'd all last till 2050AD?
Well, I can usually play in the evenings, eastern US time.

 

[Plexus]

who said anything about 2500AD?

 

[gunning1]

Ok, all I need is Octavians stats and all the stuff he wants. I'm going to school now, so I'll start it after school.

 

[gunning1]

Ok, I can't start without Octavians Civ and other stuff...

 

[Octavian X]

I was at school too.. Ha!

Please chose Babylon for me.

Thanks for letting me in on such short notice...

 

[donsig]

I see you're on-line now gunning - how about firing this one up?

 

[gunning1]

Ok, gonna start it right now.

 

[Octavian X]

Great! I'm ready and waiting...

 

[donsig]

Me, too! Let's meet in the chat rooms...

 

[Plexus]

alright, I'm ready

 

[donsig]

gunning had trouble starting it. I thought about starting it but CivGeneral said we should wait...
