kazantzakis PBEM

[kazantzakis]

chances are, I'm asking to get crushed, but one never knows.
here's what were looking at, more or less:
myself, wildfire444, and Lt. Killer vs. 5 AI opponents
as far as settings, I'm open to suggestions.

two things:
1. I can play any level, but even if I'm getting it handed to me, I'll stick it out.
2. I'd like to definitively set some times when we are all able to play multiple turns. I'm getting pretty tired of one ar two turns a week.
I will not be able to start till Sunday evening.

Let me know your prefrences for both settings and times.

 

[WildFire]

1. Regent or Monarch is fine with me. Will play on emperor if you want to.
2. Not sure

Sat, and Sundays I am free a lot. Starting March 21st, baseball is starting again, so I wont be home till 5:30 on most nights, but lets see how far we get first

 

[Lt. 'Killer' M.]

1: whatever I prefer a challange
2: I am practically always available during GMT business hours

 

[kazantzakis]

The settings are as follows:
standard map
continents
70% water
emporer
all else random

civs:
me (france)
Wildfire
Killer
Playboy
5 ai random
Let me know your prefrences and I'll get this started.
@ Killer, I need your email.

 

[WildFire]

Thats all fine by me. I will be the Iriqouis

 

[Lt. 'Killer' M.]

kaz: read my signature mail is in there!

 

[kazantzakis]

and I never learned how to read

what civ do you prefer?

 

[kazantzakis]

killer? All's well?

 

[Lt. 'Killer' M.]

ah, sorry, I thoght I had already said I want Persia

 

[kazantzakis]

sorry about the delay.
don't forget the workaround for emporer difficulty

player order:
me
wildfire
killer
playboy

 

[Lt. 'Killer' M.]

let's get this show on the road..... har har har

 

[Playboy]

Would you be interested in another human player? I'm a hardcore Civver, have steady broadband access and can play several turns a day if the game were to move that fast. I'd be happy with the Ottomans.

 

[WildFire]

This has already started, and should be in Killers inbox, sorry

 

[Lt. 'Killer' M.]

did we want accellerated prod????

 

[kazantzakis]

when i playe dmy turn accerlated production was not on, but starnge things happen when playing mp. (buggy piece of ...)

@playboy: if you're still interested, we are going to restart. respond by 3pm CST (US). I'll PM you as well.

 

[Playboy]

Thanks. Count me in!

mmcauliffe at pclv.com

 

[Lt. 'Killer' M.]

got the save: acc prod is on again!!!

please, everyone, make sure it isn't!

 

[kazantzakis]

I played it extra carfeul and checked twice. when I played my turn it was shut off.
Thinking this is an effort in futility.

Note to players:
when working the difficulty workaround, make sure your accelerated production is off before launching a game.

Wondering if this is even worth the effort.
If you're still interested, we can go one of two ways:
play with AP on, or....
try one more (third times the charm, they say)

If you've had enough (1 1/2 weeks, one turn) lets shovel some dirt on this.
I'll wait for feedback before I finalize a decision.

 

[Lt. 'Killer' M.]

kaz, I'd say we go again. Start it up, post it here, maybe that way we can figure out what went wrong.

To get the AP turned off, you should all start a new PTW game with it turned off, then load the PBEM through the MP screen for the difficulty workaround.

GreyFox said that it remembers the preference from the last game you started, regardless of what you set it to when you load the PBEM.

We had this issue before and resolved it (eventually)
