Next War PBEM

I spent the last hour or so working on that spreadsheet you can see now in the original post. Things are so much easier with the BUG-mod.
 
How about the following rule:

Should our game end because of too many nukes, the person who has the highest Score is declared winner by default UNLESS he is the one who fired the last nuke. In that case the second-highest ranking player wins.

I am fine with this rule. That prevents firing nukes in order to win. Its your game Knoedel, you have final say.

\Edit: Okay I just ran into a weird issue. I started a test game to see how exactly this is going to work, since this is the first PBEM I actually host. I selected Europa for me, which in the pre-set turn order is third, so the game should have prompted me to mail the first turn to Nighthawk, right? Instead, it just let me play his turn, and when I pressed enter Eclipse´s turn too, and so on. I checked twice to make sure I correctly selected PBEM and not Hot Seat, but that was not the issue. Any suggestions?

There are ways to have it start with you by going into worldbuilder and editing python... but in this case it might be easier to just have me start the game? Its still your game, I will just do the launching for sake of ease. I could theoretically launch this evening. Thoughts?

Mkay then, you can launch it, but what do we do about the Admin password?
Seeing as most options are greyed out anyway the only things you can really change are Game Speed and number of turns. I think we are all okay with Epic and for the other thing just enter 999.

got it and got it. Just send me a PM with what you'd like the admin pw to be. I'm not going to cheat like that to win, its so much better to beat you the right way myself :lol::lol::lol::lol:

Oh you. Don´t you realize that you chose the one civ that has culture pressure with every single other civ? The first half of the game will probably consist of Europa, America and Asia dogpiling you to get the biggest slice of Southern cake.

\Edit: I set up the game on PBEM-Tracker, the password is as follows:

I would propose to remove the time limit. It's quite simple actually. You just have to edit the file with a text editor (eg notepad) and remove the line that says "MaxTurns=200".

I'm not sure if it won't be the other way around... he is creative, so he has a bonus on culture... besides, if a nation invests in culture is using resources that could be used in Armies... a lot of culture with weak Armies is not (usually) very good...

I suppose we could do that but I seriously doubt that the game will last a thousand turns, especially when we are starting in the future already.

I doubt that +2 Culture bonus will help him much against a Clone army. ;)

Quite straightforward actually.
 
OK, game has been launched! The peaceful United Free Empire led by Nighthawk, she of the bountiful lips, has sent the turn via regular email to Eclipse of the Pan-Asiatic Cooperative, or whatever it is.

Settings were as Knoedel wanted, 999 turns, Epic speed. I have also signed into the game on PBEM tracker, but we can start without that. The admin password is the one Knoedel sent to me via PM.

Good luck everyone, this should be fun! :)
 
The Glorious Leader says Good Riddance to the Hated Ones World Government.

Waiter where is the Salt?

A a a um sir there is no more.

This food is tasteless without common spices, fetch me some NOW!

Yes Sir Umm, common quantities of everything we took for granted is no longer available, what is left is more valuable than Gold, and where they lay is far more precious still.

The Glorious Leader chews his food and frowns, swallows it and smiles (Hmm)

Hey, You there, ask the Valet to bring my Tank around, I'm not staying for dessert!

It's too late now, but for the future the host can always start the game with admin password of his choice -- but never play, if it is not his nation. Just Alt F4 as soon as the game asks for password. Make sure you have enabled Autosave and send to the corresponding player Initial Save file. This is always generated for new games (even without autosave) and placed in your pbem/Auto folder...

Thanks, you should make this a "Sticky" in the Civ4 - PBEM Games parent thread :D
 
*incoming video message*
THE LADY! We demand that you revoke your declaration of Emancipation this instant! Half of Our serfs aren´t working and complain about... whatever it is commoners complain about! We didn´t move Our Palace to Moscow to re-enact Red October, you know? The old Tsars had it easy, at least their servants didn´t have an Internet connection.
Our domestic advisor actually had the guts to tell Us Serfdom was too old-fashioned for the 21st century! Speaking of which, you see that nice painting behind Us? Our Court Artist just finished it for Us, first he whined that body paint shouldn´t actually be made from bodies though, but then We told him that it takes a whole lot of guts to say to His Majesty´s face that He is wrong, and suddenly he was a whole lot more cooperative. *sips from a drink* True Story.
Anyway, do what We told you to do or you are in for a world of pain, got it?
His Excellency out!
*video message ends*
 
First turn complete! :goodjob:

Mr Big Luthor was appointed CEO of the American Incorporated Nation. In his speech to the shareholders the new CEO promissed to make his best to have profitable environmental policies that would allow the flourish of commerce in this Oligopolistic business called Earth.
 
The Lady with the hawk head-dress sits on her throne sipping wine... The video message pops up from His Excellency. She ignores it. A few minutes later she toggles her intercom to her secretary.

"Jesus, how did our space mission go?"

Jesus: "Not well madam. As soon as it got into the stratosphere the toxins from the years of pollution ate away at the body of the ship. Let's just say it didn't end well."

Lady: "As I thought..."

Jesus: "But there is some good news!!!! You were again re-elected head of the Empire!"

The intercom clicks silent. The Lady stares forward again thinking. In the background there is a gunshot.

"It was fixed all along, you idiot."

OMG, OUTSTANDING, AWESOME, MIND BLOWING, all in the first turn? Admission is free take a seat everyone but your only gonna need the edge of it for this one!
 
Nighthawk accidentily sent Eclipse´s turn to me, so I guess I better forward that mail to him.
 
Eclipse the Glorious Leader lays asleep, it is early morning when there is a knock on the Door and an Aid enters calling his name. Eclipse stirs a bit reaching to snooze the alarm but doesn't find one.

The Aid clears his throat and Eclipse opens his eyes, vigorously he rubs his face and sits up.
Somewhere outside he hears chanting but cannot make out what he is hearing, he moves to the window and unlatches it, in a RUSH the Aid tackles him as a gunshot hurls threw the glass and embeds itself in the adjacent wall.

Clambering out from under the Aid he can now hears the chants.

"Your no glorious leader" and "We are sick and Hungry" in succession over and over and over, a rather demoralizing thing to wake to he thinks. He reflects back to last turn contemplating why his people would be so disgusted and is at a loss.

There is another knock on the door and the Aid responds "shots fired" the door then opens and the Asian Foreign Minister low crawls threw the door and toward Eclipse, seeing this Eclipse moves to a safe zone in the room and they meet.

What is going on? Eclipse says. The people are not happy, Song replies. But why? Well if you listen to what they are saying, they are telling you why, said Song.

Anyway I've brought you Good News and handed him an official sealed envelope which Eclipse begins to open, just then a park bench hurls threw the window. Wait, How?, we are on the THIRD Floor ?

After the glass shards settle he begins to read, he looks up at Song and Song smiles in turn. Eclipse looks puzzled and Song says, "Yes the list is accurate and confirmed as of this morning".

Alright then I'll see Chang directly.

Export of the American way of life through movies and songs has began... the CEO hopes that the America Incorporated will be once again the most prosperous company in the world... in a few years...

Dude, you control like a quarter of the world´s population and land, and you want to tell me there are other corporations wealthier than you at this moment?
 
Are you kidding me???

I see that you are mistaken about the world! The American Corp is 3rd in GNP, Land and population!!! :(

The Southern Empire has almost the double of the of land that our glorious Corporation occupies...

Our population is the happiest (:smoke:) but surely not the richest... only goes to show that money does not make happiness!
