	Great Armada PBEM "Drake" Lose 30 kilos (of popups)

Great Armada PBEM based on the Great Armada scenario.

Turns : 120, 6-month turn from 1580 to 1640

Civs : 8

Catholic locked alliance
Spain
Irish
French League

Protestant locked alliance
England
France
Netherlands

Freebees
Scotland
North Africa

Players :

- Loulong : Irish
- Beta : Dutch
- ChrisiusMaximus : Scots
- Paddy the Scot : England
- McMeadows : Maghrib (North Africa)
- snoopy369 : Spain
- Makahlua : France
- Modo 44 : League

To play you need to download the main art file (23 MB) + the patch that can be found at CFC (http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=104091), rather than here as there is so few activity in the creation forum at Poly I am not trying to update it.

I am ready to help anybody who has problems installing the scenario.

Ah : Good !

Any prefered civ ?

BTW I advise any interested player to test the game in SP before as it is pretty specific (civs, units, techs...).

LL - try Paddy the Scot, Modo44, Aqualung71, McMeadows, and Wittlich.

Send them PM's with links to this thread.

And I will play the Dutch please. With the title of Prince VanderBeta.

Give Paddy the English. With the name of Lord Paddington (of Wessex).

And Aqua gets the Spanish. Duke of Aquataine.

And Lou - do you want the French? Prince LouLongere?

Now I am not sure I understand. Should I contact them to ask them in or have you already done it and know their preferences ?

I would prefer another civ than France as I am playing them in another PBEM at CFC.

I think Beta was just making suggestions and Paddy would most likely take the english as he loves to play them.

He is out of town right now but should be back thursday, you can pm here and he will see it before then not sure about NBetas other suggested players I dont know them as well as beta but it would be worth you PM'ing them as they are good reliable players

Forgot to add the threads here sink so fast its easy for a set up thread to be lost so you did right to bump it

	23-11-2004 02:21									#11
	Full PM-box? Change here!

Yes I did not feel too ashamed bumping my thread as you have so much more action than us (I mean CFC).

I thought Paddy would have preferred the Scots (because of his nickname !).

PM all guys mentionned by Beta.

Remember to download, install and playtest the SP version or the first few turns you will be at a loss.

Hi there

more than happy to play when I get home, and Thursday is looking good for that, but I can make no assurances on this matter at this time

Vry happy to play either England or Scotland

Thanks for the invite LouLong....but with the holidays right around the corner, I'm not signing up for anymore games until after the holiday season is over.

Too bad ! But no pb.

Anyway still need 3-4 more players.

Did not get any reply from Aqualung.

Makahlua and 1889 are two more suggestions. Both very reliable players.

The Scots would have suited my name pretty much...

Beta, minor name suggestion, Prins van Beta (van der, van de, van den .... all means "from the". van ... "from". Prins = Prince). To reveil my true identity , my last name litarally translates as "from the Meadow".

Aquataine has a rather French tongue to it.

I've got no experience in this scenario. I'll take North Africa as Al-Meadaemla. I hope it does not really translate.

OK Lou - have you tracked down the others?

(Ok - so you see folks - it is not THAT easy setting up a new game....)

Yes it is, Beta.

And I notice you left me off the list. Worried I'm catching up to you?



I'd love to play though, i love naval games.

Any chance I can have Spain?

Since Aqualung did not reply/confirm, you can definitely have Spain. So your main enemy will be England.

2 more to go.
Weird thing is that nobody wants either French side, albeit they are nice, central and have access to some very nice units.

@ McMeadows : North Africa is also in locked war with Spain. I just wanted you to know it.

@ Beta: nope, sorry I had not seen. Sending them a PM right away.

@ all: seems to be a local (=Poly) preference to get your own name. At CFC we usually keep ou nicknames or the scenario leaders (Philippe II, ELizabeth, ... here).

I know I am not playing them either but just because I play France in another PBEM and want to try a complete different civ.

	Avatar Enlargement: We've got the solution

Thanks for the warning LL. Locked war means we can't negotiate peace?
Here we usually play with our nicks as well. As I'm not familiar with the scenario I chose to play at the side line instead of taking up the central position. Nothing against France in general.

Al-Meadaela

Actually it would not be too much of a problem if I removed the locked war for you. As long as you understand who your main enemy is !

1889 is PBEM-full.

Alright, you asked for it. Give me the French, and let's get it going.

And please do remove the locked alliance. This way some backstabbing might occur. I understand that faith seemed to move those people, but let's not forget power.
power, Power, POWER.

Hmm. I actually would probably be against removing the locked alliance, but it depends on what you want out of the game. I like playing this sort of game for a nice round or three of straight-up combat, so the diplomacy would hurt it for me.

What diplomacy do you mean? The "our troops just took three of your cities, mistah former ally" kind of diplomacy?
But it's fine with me. If you want straight up war, you Shall HaVe IT!

Poor, poor Maki.

lol yes

Basically I like playing scenarios like this for the war, not the diplomacy (which I play regular Civ3 games for). But, I don't mind if the rest want unlocked alliances.
