I descided to start up a new thread about a new Colonies PBEM.
I would prefer a 4 player-game, which makes it much easier.
Everybody who played in the former Colonies PBEM may pick a civ, or say he doesn't want to be part of it again.
If any civs remain, another person can pick it.

So, here we go:

Dutch: JCN
Sioux: Darius
Iroquois: AI
French: Yop73
Spanish: Academia
Huron: AI
English: Patient English

Thanx,

Yop
 
Ok Yop. I´ll try it one more time.
Give me Spain this time.

Por la Corona Española!!!!
 
English for me, please....

When we have at least 4 players, I will do the edits needed for version 3.2. These will be:

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.

This should only take a day to do and test.

Rule Britannia!
 
Also, I would ask that we all agree NOT to use LazyCiv. It has some untested features, and there is apparently scope to muck up other players' positions if you are careless. From the ReadMe file....

Lazyciv is a utility program for restoring your city production in a civ 2 PBEM game. You must have civilization II multiplayer edition (MPE) for it to work.

In your first turn of playing a PBEM game, activate Lazyciv anytime
before the end of your turn. This will record your production
to the last 2 places of your city names. You'll see weird characters
in cities with long names, that is a normal Phenomenom.

In subsequent turns, make sure you activate Lazyciv when you have selected your civ but haven't started playing. i.e., you activate Lazyciv when you select gender or name for your civ leader. Doing it too early or too late, you may not get what you want, and may mess up with other player's production.

New features in version 3:
you can now copy production items from the end of your last turn and paste it to the loaded game before starting the current turn. First, load the old saved game and launch Lazyciv, then press the "copy" button once. Then, without quitting Lazyciv and MPE, load the new saved game. Then use the "paste" button to finish the job. Caution: again you need a perfect timing -- that is, you need to press the "paste" button when you select gender or name for your civ leader.

Also, if the AI changed your production item from non-wonder to wonder, the program will recover your old production item AND double your accrued shields to cover your loss. I don't have any experience in AI changing production to wonder, so this feature is untested.

Also, I hate what it does to long city names...;) If some of us are using it, and some not, it may also give some an unfair advantage.

OK?
 
OK, sounds like we have our four players? If you are hapy for JCN to join, post your agreement and I will get Civ 3.2 out in a day or so.

Of course, if others want to join as a Native tribe, they can, if they sign on in the next couple of days...
 
JCN is welcome to join. I also agree not to use Lazyciv (because I am to lazy to learn about it, I don't use it myself).

We can get this going then ...
 
Ok. I won´t use lazyciv.
 
Actually on second thoughts I'd prefer to try out as Iroquois... I've only ever played as the Euro nations before, being based in the USA would be a nice change.

Edit: Would like to change back to the Dutch, lol. After giving both a couple turns of play I think they're more my style. I love playing the underdogs.
 
Dutch: JCN
Sioux: AI
Iroquois: AI
French: Yop73
Spanish: Academia
Huron: AI
English: Patient English

So after we receive the files, JCN can begin.
 
That's right, we decided to claim what's rightfully ours and thus have taken Antwerp from the evil Spanish empire. However, now that this Dutch territory is back in it's rightful hands, we are willing to make peace with Spain.

Economically, the Dutch have all the potential to be a real powerhouse. Our government anticipates a flood of people entering the nation from throughout europe, and our population is expected to increase rapidly over the next few years. We have also sent out many trade goods and are looking to establish trade routes with both Europe and the colonies.
 
I haven´t received your mail patient english.
 
Ooh, can I take the Sioux again, Yop? I know you only wanted four players, but I promise I'll be punctual enough to make it about the same.

If so, John can send the new files to darius8712@hotmail.com. :)
