The Reunion PBEM Game

[Knight-Dragon]

Finally gotten PTW, for S$49.90 and they didn't even provide for a CD case! And it was only S$5 less than what I paid for Civ3...

Anyway, founded Chang An, the City of Eternal Peace (yeah right ) after consultations with Taoist priests and fengshui geomancers, where two 'dragon veins' intersect. My part of the world looks pretty good...

Over to you, joe.

Errr, while I was playing around with the terrain sets in PTW, loading up SP games and so on, and then loading up the PBEM game that I sent to joe, accidentally stumbled onto this, err, rather serious bug.

I know where Bill and donsig are now..... donsig's to my immediate east and rather near while Bill is a long way away on the other side of the pangaea....

Anyway, the bug had been reported by someone earlier in the bugs section. Shld we restart this? It'd be a pity since I got a really great starting position (rivers!).

 

[joespaniel]

Did everyone put in a password?

If so, that shouldnt have happened. No biggie though, we can restart.

 

[joespaniel]

I have restarted, the new game is sent to Bill.

There is one change, I am Japan.

Lets all agree not to load the game except when its our turn.
Dont worry KD, its ok, you didnt know how it works.
Now you do.

Remember to overwrite the save before sending it. And pick a password, write it down (I almost forgot mine!).

Well, at least I am honest..... And I got such a great position - my city was betw two rivers and there're hills and incense too.

I was thinking that reloading will show my turn (SP thinking) again. At least, it shldn't show me someone else's....

 

[donsig]

Well, my start wasn't that great so I guess I owe K-D a big thank you!

*donsig wonders if his new start will be any better...*

 

[Bill_in_PDX]

I liked my initial location. Two wheats, four wines, and lots of grassland.

Oh well.

I will play my first turn in the next few hours when I get home.

Ouch. Sorry...

My new location is slightly better than my old one, so hopefully yours is too.

When we had to restart, I was counting on being 100% surrounded by jungle...

 

[Bill_in_PDX]

King Bill was dizzy from the world changing so quickly.

He decided it was best to settle immediately. His tribe had access to many bonus grasslands, a river, and soon, dyes.

 

[donsig]

The little band of Roman settlers begin wandering since the grass is always greener...

I know - it looks bad. And about 20-30 tiles east of me only. I was thinking an early warrior rush is a workable option.....

Evil.

 

[Knight-Dragon]

The gods must be really fond of the Chinese. The hardy band of the first Chinese tribe found itself on a hill in a likeable region and will proceed to found a new city the next age.

 

[Knight-Dragon]

Almost missed the email fr donsig; just happenned to check. Phew.

Anyway, founded Jin Chen (the imperial capital).

Over to you, joe.

 

[joespaniel]

Japan (turn2)

Nothing.

These games are slow until you get past the first few turns.

Heres a nice screenshot of my starting position.
I hope I am not giving too much away...

 

[donsig]

Roma has been founded!

I see we're all on-line - maybe we'll get a few turns in tonight!?!

 

[joespaniel]

Japan (turn4)

Warrior complered, another started. Exploration begins...

Save sent to Bill.

 

[Bill_in_PDX]

The Celts commissioned their first warrior band...time to find out about this world. Our worker returned with stories of a great sea of water that seemed to run to the end of the earth...

 

[Knight-Dragon]

China - Turn 4

Nothing.

Game sent to joespaniel.
