Wellington C3C napoleonic pbem

[Hawklord]

We will call this one Wellington, enough of these French names.
This is based on the Junot biq, kindly supplied by Loulong.

Players and order
Kingstuart - Russia
AI - Prussia
Daufoi - France
James I - Britain
AI - Spain
Hawklord - Ottoman
Shinatoo - Austria
AI - Sweden
Civs were allocated on a timezone basis.

Rules
1 No city raising on purpose.
2 No deals with AI civs unless initiated by AI in first 5 turns.
3 Must post something on this thread when a turn is played.
4 Post must include battle reports for human players.
5 Don't need to report AI battles, but you can if you want to for the fun of it.

Other than that anything goes. Alliances were often broken so don't trust anybody.

Game saves to be labled Wellington (turn No) (player letter). So Kingstuart will send Wellington1a to Daufoi who will send Wellington1b, etc.

e-mail with contact for diplomatic relations between players is on its way. These can be initiated anytime you like.

 

[LouLong]

Eventually some of you get to play in one Napoleonic PBEM.

Good luck to all and, genereally, for the game !

 

[Shinatoo]

I'm Australia!!!! G'Day then, throw another shrimp on the bar-b, bloke. Any Shelas in this game? Come on, try and take my island you bugga's.

What....OH....not Australia....Austria...really!?!?!

I guess i will get rid of my sense of humor now and go do some cross country skiing. Sorry

 

[Hawklord]

If that's what frost bite does to your sense of humour I'm glad it's quite mild in the UK

 

[daufoi]

I have question about rule #2 "No deals with AI civs unless initiated by AI in first 5 turns." Is that deals of any kind? Or RoP deal? Or any deals that last 20 turns?

 

[Hawklord]

If an AI contacts you with a deal of whatever kind it will be OK to deal with them. RoP or Alliance or trading or war. But you can't contact them first, otherwise the first player could have alliances with all of the AI's before any action is taken by anyone else.
It would be OK to move into AI territiry so that they would tell you to move, and declare war when they give you an ultimatum. i.e. force ther AI to talk with you.
This way if you want an alliance with an AI you will have to be nice to them
Just to give the AI a chance to decide whether it trusts you or not.
We thought it would be fairer this way.

 

[daufoi]

Can I approach them with a tech or resource trade?

 

[Hawklord]

Not in the first 5 turns. If they approach you it would be OK to set up a deal.

 

[Hawklord]

Is this moving?

GPS to the Ottomans

Destroyed 2 French Frigates that got too close to Amsterdam... the Attacking Man 'o War turned one into a captured Vessel in HM service...

Lost one Privateer near Nantes attacking a French Troop convoy.

The British observe the French army eyeing off HM Italian provinces.... and threaten swift retibution for any damages incurred.

 

[Hawklord]

I notice a slight problem here.
We will have to set this up again and play turn 1 over. Shinatoo has been set up as the Swedes instead of the Austrians. This will give him no chance at all as they only have 3'ish cities. I'm not even sure if it will work that way.
It's awkward setting these up. I found that it is easier to select computer first so you can see what civ you are dealing with and then allocate human players when the correct civs show up.

....Shinatoo has been set up as the Swedes instead of the Austrians. This will give him no chance at all as they only have 3'ish cities.....

Not that it matters. You could give me half the map and I would still lose. I'm just here for comic relief. (My own, Hawklord, not yours.)

 

[Hawklord]

That's a matter of opinion
Anyway the Ozzy jokes were bad enough, god knows what you would do with Swedish ones

 

[James I]

so keep going or restart?

Sweden is welcome to become a Protectorate of Mother England..... any friend is welcome in the struggle against the aggressive French.

 

[Hawklord]

I don't see how we can keep going. Sweden only has 4 cities and that would not be realistic, Shinatoo would be wiped out real soon. The civs are set up to be balanced to some degree and this way they are not.

Anyway we have not gone too far yet so it is not a major problem to restart. We should count it as a practice

 

[Shinatoo]

You guys are so nice. With that kind of generosity the only thing I can say is....

RESTART!!!

You two make me a little nervious

 

[kingstuart]

new file has been sent to daufoi..sorry for the mix up

Nothing to report.

Those French are lurking too close for my liking.

 

[Hawklord]

As a peace-loving nation we invite trade from all other European nations.
