Rhye's and Fall of the Triumvirates

Speaking of, I'm pretty sure Egypt is utterly destroyed. I'll have to wait for REM for confirmation. My capital will even be force razed, I think, because I whipped it to one pop.
 
The greek hoplite army has braved the warrior defenders of niwt-rst and renamed it's glorious conquest diospolis megals! As a side note I now need to send the file on to Aosaka, I will search for your email address Imp I think I have it somewhere...

Cross post, luckily it did not auto raze because it had been at 2 pop before. But sorry methinkso - at least you will have a chance for vengence with your next civ!

Also Imp I cannot find your email anywhere, I guess I must have deleted your original message to me, can you send me it?
 
Methinkso, why didn't you come to some sort of agreement with ReallyEvilMuffin beforehand? It's what I did with Persia and it's working out just fine for me, with the exception that Babylon is now trying to kill me before Nighthawk enters the game.

I think Tigranes just sent you my address.
 
Yes I got the address and just sent you the next turn. I have a question with gameplay differences in the versions - I assume not, but can killed civs re spawn in the multiplayer version?
 
I am not sure Rhye had it in his vanila MP release.

I have no idea, but we'll find out after Nationalism I suppose. If Egypt respawns you can naturally resume control over it.

In the OP is a link to my other RFC PBEM, and in that thread there is a link to a thread by Rhye which links to where you can download the Multiplayer version of RFC. If you ever want to try out a live game or even join my other PBEM just tell me. :)

/Edit: You guys, most people will already control their second civ before methinkso gets even one again, and the same applies to Tigranes once Persia is here. In retrospect it should have been obvious that Egypt and Babylon get eliminated early, but I didn't think of it when I arranged the turn order. Now we have to decide whether to rearrange some civ-player combos in order to reintroduce methinkso and Tigranes faster or whether to keep it as it is. Poor methinkso has Aztecs which are junk and France which has no UP unless we make one up per houserule, so he doesn't even get an overpowered civ to make up for his long absence. What do?
 
What's the deal with your other PBEM? How alive is it and such?

Oh it's quite alive, as a matter of fact we still need players for the later civilizations. Maybe the link to it isn't in the OP after all, but it's definitely in my sig.
 
I'll definitely have to join! But after this weekend. Sounds fun though :D

I think you should ask methinkso here - bare in mind looking back at the choices he wanted to play as the Aztecs, even if they are a garbage civ in your eyes - bare in mind if he controls the french too he can use this to keep spain in check, so suddenly their dominance over the new world civs is less apparent.

With that in mind, he cannot take Ethiopia as he already had Egypt from that category. If we assume that he still wants Aztecs as per his original request then the next civ to be available is the vikings, which are only a short while before the french, about 15 turns or so. All of the European civs spawn in rapidly, so there is little benefit in terms of getting him into the game from coming in another 15 turns earlier with vikings etc.

I do think a houserule UP is a good idea. Damn Tigranes beating me to it though! As I understand it we do not have access to the worldbuilder or anything like that, as a boost to starting units or techs might be a nice thing that could snowball and be just as valuable as a game long power.

I was trying to come up with something vaguely historical and humorous such as the power of the white flag - something like if declared on then after 10 turns if they felt like it the french player could 'demand' peace for 10 turns - kinda like how the great wall operated in civ 2. However a surprise attack could still be devastating and so not be of huge relevance to this really.

I think Tigranes idea is a little too heavy handed though, not being able to declare at all is a little extreme. Would that not completely mess up Germany's UHVs? And realistically the French player could completely refuse open borders and this would kinda stick you in a lot of trouble.

From reading the readme, the idea of the French UP seems to be to try and prevent their destruction by giving them best friend bonuses with AIs and getting them to potentially declare on the declarer. I reckon a good compromise is that anyone wanting to attack the french player has to announce in this thread 10 turns (length to be decided) that they are going to do so before they can.

This keeps the theme of what rhye was trying to achieve with France having more protection, and it is far more useful knowing an attack is coming than the ability to end it at will. It will allow them to prepare and not be caught unaware. It also means that they will have time to try and get potential war allies who may feel that the fall of France is not in their interest, and may be willing to help with gifts of units or techs or fight in the war as well...

Just a thought is all :D
 
We could also use the Foreign Legions idea I outlined in the other game's thread...
 
Ok I found it. It's a nice idea but takes a lot of tinkering and could be a little overpowered perhaps. To implement my idea re notice for declaring war there is no onus on the french player, and it is a simple post here in the forum rather than needing to edit xml files or worldbuilder things in. But I think this should perhaps be put to a vote. I would point out the Eithiopian power is pretty much useless - how often is it possible for one of their cities to flip via culture?
 
Never mind, confused this thread with another.
 
I just resent my latest turn to academia and would advise all players to do the same.
