[Knight-Dragon]

Sorry guys; no go yet. Game will only arrive in S'porean stores in two more days, if ever.

So, until next week..... Or pls go ahead with this one and I'll join the next game.

 

[joespaniel]

We can wait.

 

[Knight-Dragon]

Thanks. Just for that, I'll offer you peace shld we first come into contact.

So, what's the procedure? Do we really use email or simply upload to the CFC server and then post the link here?

 

[Bill_in_PDX]

Hello all,

Looking forward to this game, and can certainly wait for K-D to get his copy of it.

 

[joespaniel]

Welcome to Bill, whom I have not had the pleasure of gaming with yet.

OK guys, I'll be starting this one, and passing it on, soon. KD can catch up on Monday. This thread will be for posting our summaries.

Is the current turn order OK for everyone? If donsig and Bill want to switch, tell me now, after we start its fixed.

Also, the CFC chat room is a good place to "meet" for gaming sessions, and to coordinate strategy. Or just spam.

KD - In the begining, its easier to e-mail the game to the next player. Later, if it gets too large, we will have to upload it.

Speaking of which, check your PM boxes for my e-mail address, and please send me all of yours.

Turn 1 - Carthage

We settle on our starting position, without moving. A decent spot, nothing special. When our border expands, we shall have wine.
Decide to research pottery, need a granary here.

Game sent to Bill. Also sent an e-mail to Bill and donsig with some helpfull hints.

I goofed up the original order when I set it up, here is the turn order:

joespaniel - Carthage
Bill_In_PDX - Celts
donsig - Rome
Knight-Dragon - China

4 random AI civs

 

[Knight-Dragon]

Questions : -

How do we actually do diplo betw human players? Thru chat or here? Or PM?

I assume no secret stuff right, like secret non-formal alliances etc?

Is it really a good idea to be posting what you're doing every turn here? 'Cause I assume eventually somebody may go to war with someone else? Or is this a coorperative game (but with only 4 AI civs; not much of a challenge )?

What's the general game level? Monarch?

 

[donsig]

I don't know K-D. This will be my first PBEM game unless gunning's starts first. joe's been playing he'll have to guide us.

 

[Knight-Dragon]

Join the chat now, donsig. We're there!

 

[joespaniel]

Monarch level, pangaea, enhanced production.

Maximum carnage.

You guys can decide what rules there will be, however I urge that diplomacy be conducted here, unless between allies ofcourse.

The chat room is great for all that stuff.

King Bill looked down from his vantage point on a hill toward the green grass and coast line below him. There was an abundance of wines and wheat in this enclosed valley.

He was not fully impressed with his current location, and ordered the caravans to move just a little further northeast to find the perfect settling location.

 

[donsig]

The band of Roman settlers found themselves in a spot they did not like. Too far from the ocean, yet too close too the ocean! Forests to the south so the workers are sent north to scout the territory. The settlers decide to move west...

 

[joespaniel]

I win! I am the only one left with a city.

 

[Ohwell]

Hi guys!!! Glad to see you all back "together" again! I don't have PTW yet, but I am getting a new interest in CIv3, so I might buy it soon! I have a good expereinces with Civ2 PBEM, and I look forward to Civ3 PBEMing with all of you.

 

[donsig]

Oh, well, look what the cat drug in! Long time no see stranger! Let us know when you get PTW. I *think* multiplayer will be fun.

 

[Knight-Dragon]

Yeah, I have always been wanting to crush a human opponent.... Glad to see you around, Ohwell. Although I always run into you elsewhere....

I got the saved, but no PTW yet, so.... We'll resume broadcasting next week.

 

[Ohwell]

Well when the price is driven down a tad, I'll go down and pick it up.

Oh, btw K-D, crushing a human opponent is very difficult...

 

[Knight-Dragon]

Not when there're two of us....
