Perhaps you're just better than me ... And 6pm works fine, generally. Before Beta plays, anyhow.

I would think it would be more natural for Beta to play before Rhoth. he is eastern time and Rhoth is one of those fruity guys from California who is on Pacific time and plays late in the evening usually.

Im only in Italy until the 25th so dont let that determine a play order if thats what we are actually talking about.

Although Im seriously considering coming back here for about 5 months, but if that happens Ill have to sell off a bunch of my PBEM's.

On weekdays I tend to play 1900 - 2300 (GMT). I can conceivably play turns around 7am GMT if it fits in to greatly improved turn rotation.

Weekends would tend to be much more frequent.

Sorry, didn't mean it like that. I just meant that using my strategy does work on higher levels.

I knew what you meant But, i meant it didn't work for me, at a level slightly above where i usually play and win regularly.

Anyways, the play order issue is a non-issue: We are stuck with the order we have, because you can't change the order of the civs, if i recall correctly. I was just observing that I think it may go well.

Are we going to light this puppy or what?

In another words, consider this a *BUMP* to the thread....maybe it will get "lazy-assed" Beta's attention....

Sorry Beta, but your inactivity left me no choice but to take-up Con's philosophy.

I've not played this scenario before, so I thought I'd have a propwe look at it before the game starts. One question that strikes me...

What is the benefit of the Hittite's UU? I mean, they cost as much and require the same basic resource as Horseman, are less manouvreable on account of being wheeled, and require research of an unneccessary technology. Seems rather pointless to me.

Yeh, i'm the hittites in the other game and I haven't a clue what the point is. I guess it's a decently able-to-start-golden-age unit, but i can't figure its real utility.

Oh sure now you tell me...after I pick the Hittites. I've never played them in this scenario so I figured since my first choice of Sumeria was already taken I'd try them out. Oh well.

The Hittites are probably one of two or three civs in this scenario intended for human play in the SP game. Them, the Phoenicians, and the Sumerians i'd think. Maybe babylon, who knows. The Hittites have the best land area by far, and the most resources -- if it's a regular game and not a VP game, they win every time. But, they have the cruddiest UU, and they don't have as good of a combination of traits as the sumerians or the phoenicians or the babylonians, plus they don't have as quick-growing of an area -- ie, whereas you had some easy 6-8 size cities as Phoenicia, the hittites take a bit longer to get started. (At least from my experience, playing this a few times in SP.)

OK - Meso 2 Officially started. Thank you all for your enduring patience. Especially Rhoth. .

And who mucked up the indentation for this thread page?

Ok - given the civ choices - the play order is forced. It is as follows: (snoop - you may want to update the first post)

Beta - Egyptians
Wittlich - Myceneans
Soltz - Babylonians
Duaphin - Medeans
Snoopy369 - Phoenicians
Conmcb25 - Sumerians
Rhothaerill - Hittites

Hope th eplay order works OK. Looks like a two day cycle.

The admin password is "meso2".

My password is ******.

First save to Wittlich.

Ok - the game plan is - everyone attack Rhoth. Now!

Dauphin, I think that if you manage to play turns at 7am GMT, we could hit 1/day. Soltz plays late US time ,which means a few hours before 7am GMT usually (4-5am gmt), and I can play at 6am US-time, so a few hours after that. Once con comes back from italy, con-rhoth-beta-wittlich should work out ok in the evening, i think? and then it's just up to me to get con the save
