Hi,

I am new to Civ 4 - haven't completed a game - but have been playing civ 3 pbems for about a year now.

Looking for players, and suggestions for options.
Democracy will rule, but from what I know I prefer a huge epic, for regular committed players.
To keep this manageable, and for turnaround, I propose 4 humans, plus ai.

I am looking for 3-4 turns per week minimum.
However, I usually turn around all my games every evening, and often manage more than 1 turn per day at the weekends.

If you are interested, send me
- via PM,
your top 4 tribes choice, password to be used, and email address
- via this thread,
your suggestions for game options.

 

[merandaBlue]

I'm game, I've sent you my pesonal info...as for options, I like huge fractile maps, and epic speed...ancient starts.

Prefer noble or warlord settings, but will play prince or monarch.

 

[semental]

civ 3 or 4? either way I am game as long as you promise not to clean my clock too badly this time

 

[bathsheba666]

I thought free settlers were more difficult to get in Civ 4?
So you should be relatively safe this time

Please PM me your 4 top tribes choices.

And any votes for game settings please post in this thread for general discussion.

.. current strawman seems to be huge fractile epic noble/warlord.

 

[semental]

Ah civ 4 thread. i'll give you choices later but will take random in any event.

 

[Zukov]

If there's still room for one more to play, I'm in. I sent you my info via PM.

I'm for ancient starts, large map with random continents at noble or prince level.

And we're off!

Tokugawa establishes the Chrysanthemum Throne at Kyoto.

Can we please maintain the above file naming convention for saves?

Seems to be slightly more difficult to maintain than it was in Civ3, but nevertheless...

If you alter the a to b,c,d as you move round, and I can change the number and year.

Well, it does tell me that Tokugawa is organised...

Any quips about bordering on anal retentive, and my Samurai come to visit...

otoh, anything I've forgotten, please let me know if you notice...

The name gets updated automatically by the computer, as in the year and who is getting the file next...no muss no fuss. I have a different problem though. I received the save, but can't open it, apparently I got ozzy's save, cause it wants that person's password.

 

[bathsheba666]

OK,

My first lesson learned is that you can't rename saves, it appears.

Sorry about that. Starting afresh, and no longer organised

Montezuma settles Tenochtilan

 

[semental]

gps - The Incan empire has been founded.

 

[Zukov]

England Prevails! - Elizabeth has founded London! Turn sent to Ozymandiaston.

 

[bathsheba666]

Our scouts slip away into the surrounding darkness, and a modest hamlet lies entirely undefended...

We put our trust in the sun gods, and make extensive and bloody sacrifice.

 

[merandaBlue]

Moscow on the Hudson is progressingnicely, save sent on ...

 

[semental]

gps - just wandering - slowly.

 

[Zukov]

Brave English warriors leave tearful women and children behind and cross the mighty Thames into the great unkown. Turn sent on...

 

[bathsheba666]

Our scouts start to circle, then spot a hilltop village in the distance.

Our hamlet is unproductive, and it will be many ages before defence is possible.

hmm, Russia hears rumors of an unprotected hamlet to the not too distant south...the war machine cometh...hear the rumbling in the distance.

turn sent onwards...

 

[semental]

gps - met a friendly village.

And the ancient druid looked up from his augury and spoke, "Great are you Zukov and great is your legacy, for you and your descendants will posses these lands and the people in them. For England will be a mighty nation, let England prevail."
