Looking for easy-going PBEM game

[GrendelS]

Hi,
I'd like to join any smaller, more or less default settings game, preferably earth map, culture-specific starting locations, but I'm not picky. A reasonable crew with participants who don't use lots of exclamation marks in every sentence would be great, too!!!! About the game speed, if it's not about forwarding the save within six hours, but rather 48, I'll be happy if you let me know about your PBEM game.
regards,

Grendel

location: GMT+1
game experience: modest (but since Civ I)

game update [07.03.2006]:

Player replacement found

game update [18.02.2006]:

Save Game is underway

organizational update [14.02.2006]:

There's now a replacement list, so if you want to play but all slots are full (like right now, Feb 14th ) you can choose to wait until someone drops out of the game. For inclusion into the replacement list, you have to send me the following info:

favorite civ (of the ones that play): optional
location or GMT: obligatory
emailaddress: obligatory

For inclusion I need all obligatory info, applications with partly missing info will not be considered (and I don't have the time to dangle after everyone to collect missing data, so just be sure to send both GMT AND emailaddress, thx).

Hey Grendel -

Roger the exclamation marks.

PBEM with culture specific civs on the Earth map - which is huge - would be a great game. It would take years to finish with all human players. But with perhaps four humans and the rest AI, and possibly with Quick Speed, it could move right along.

By culture specific starting locations, I presume you mean that Germans start in Northern Europe, not in South America or some other unusual location.

It would be even more interesting if the game players represented civs from the part of the world where the game player now lives - a German player for the German civ, and so forth.

My work keeps me online always, so I'll turn the game.

Let's see who else responds.

I'd be interested. Reachable at: peyna at only internet dot net. I live in the midwest U.S., I suppose if the Miami were a civ they would be the most appropriate =] Otherwise I guess I'd have to be a North American Civ. Unless my ancestors count, then I could be Northern or Eastern European.

I also would like to take part. my e-mail address is:

I see - I hoped that somebody already has created a smaller earth map (those are most fun imho), but 4+AI is just as well.

Yes, I do. Is there a different term for this type of game?

I agree. I'm located in Germany, so I'd offer to play the Germans.

Ve vill rule ze world. Just sit ant vait.

Geographically, I'd guess the Romans or Germans would be the best you could do. I think Hungary was part of the Roman empire at one point in time. Of course, so were Spain, France, England and Greece.

Hi everybody,
the rooster is full, we have already all players (but we're looking for someone who would be willing to keep the player passwords).

If you leave your Emailaddress and location (check your winows clock for GMT info, east coast of Denmark is GMT+1 ;-) ) I'll put you on the replacement list. If there's a free spot, I'll contact you.

ciao

Grendel

 

[Kentharu]

so i guess that means i can't join?

 

[GrendelS]

so i guess that means i can't join?

No, of course you can. But only if one of the current players quits (which I hope won't happen, but you never know).

I'll set up a replacement list. For details, take a look into the first post in this thread later this day. Whoever wants to jump on the train as soon as a slot is vacated, I'll send an invitation to the first person in the list to ask whether there's still interest to play. If so, the next email contains pw and save.

Hi all,
just sent the save to Meranwe. To everybody: Please check whether

1. the leaderhead is the one you specified
2. the starting technologies are correct
3. the succession within the game is as follows:

Grendel
Meranwe
Randle
Sir Elbridge
Ale_Beer

4. have fun

I needed to modify Rhye's earth map eight times. First, trying to modify the map's players from eighteen to eight didn't work. Still don't know how to work the world builder, but I luckily found something much better:

I didn't notice it first, but since I wanted to change the default order of civs in Rhye's map, I accidently changed all starting techs because of it and needed to manually reconstruct them (which is why I'd like to ask you to check it). Leaderheads should be correct as well, I changed those according to your wishes as well. Starting positions are untouched, just as any other option in the game. Tech trade should not be possible.

After that, I only had to convert the savegame with

to a pbem format.

ciao

[Sir Elbridge]

OK Grendel.

You have worked hard on the set-up. Thanks!

I look forward to a good game.

 

[meranwe]

[Ale_beer]

[GrendelS]

p.s.: one request - if you need more than a day to forward, pls drop a note in the thread, otherwise I'll be sending out mails after 2 days if nothing came back yet and pester the last known player with unneccessary Qs
