Heya, I was wondering if anyone would be interested in playing any form of a WWI PBEM.

Any form meaning:

• Starting from 4000 bc, but with the major combatants from WWI as players, and locked / semilocked alliances (ie if not locked then starting point alliance, but you can change if you want, but discouraged, as it's the point of the PBEM )
  
• Starting from AD 1870, or 1890, or 1900, or 1910, with or without a fast city start (ie prebuilt cities), with or without the map of europe, with or without locked alliances
  
• A WWI Scenario, if there is a good one out there, again with or without locked alliances

I'm interested.

I think and industrial start 1870 with locked alliances, but then again if there is a scenario..............

I saw the scenario you pointed to ... it wouldn't work, as wouldn't most, because it has too many civs in it ... that's the problem, few people make Scenarios with 8 civs only for WWI ... but maybe just a randomish map with cultural locks ... or perhaps a 'made' random map if someone wants to make it (I guess I could, for that matter, since it might as well be visible to all) ...

Hmm. Well, let's get an idea going of what we're going to be doing ... I didn't get a chance to play tonight, but i'll try soon.

Civs:
Germany
France
England
Russia
Austria-Hungary
Ottoman Empire
(optional) America
(optional) Italy

We can play 6 player, or 8 player. Obviously we're leaving out some important civs either way, but I think the 6 are the key players. Italy and America both factored in later in the war but weren't players to begin with as neither could decide what side to be in on - we would leave both unallied.

Locked alliances of course would be england-france-russia and germany-austria-ottomans, although we could leave russia and ottomans unallied if we wanted to have some possibility of diplomacy - russia hated germany, but wasn't real good friends with the other 2 either ...

Ill take Germany if no one else wants

6 would be great but I hope we get six dedicated players

I'll take probably Russia or France, depending on what else is taken by the rest of you all... but I'm not real picky. Especially if we're not starting out with the original setup ... (ie equal starts )

Well I'm new, but I would love to be involved. I have no idea of the qualifications for this though. I currently play C3C. I have Civ3 installed along with C3C. I currently play C3C on Regent, that's as high as I have gotten, but so far I'm in the lead! So I'm looking to move up a level.

I use Windows XP (Home) and I have a broadband connection. I'm not sure if there's anything else I would need to have to play, besides skill!?

If you need another player please let me know. I don't care which Civ I get.

Thanks!

Wib, all you need is the ability to play at least five times a week (ie once a day, roughly, during the workweek) and a desire to have fun! Good to have you on board!

Hi Grandpa, I'm in Richmond. Grew up in Carolina though. Northeast corner near Ahoskie? Do you know that little area? Not much to it really, but nice enough for a scrawny country boy to grow up in.

Thanks for welcoming me in!

Now this looks like fun. Any chance I could join in too I have an opening for a once a day game

wow a once a day game, that certainly sounds interesting
can you give some advice on how this process works

Um, it's where each of us play a turn once a day ... and nobody forgets about their turns for weeks ... um ...

I'll probably have time to work on this this weekend and/or monday-tuesday (2 days off! Thank goodness for expiring annual vacation time ... ) I'll probably have to make a scenario setup for it, and it will take a bit of work.

What do you all think about;

• Having AI play whatever spots we don't?
  
• Having to download files (ie unit graphics etc.) to play as opposed to using stock units and/or unit pics?
  
• How many people should we wait until we have to play? I think we have 5 at the moment ...

Looks good

I do believe that Aqua met his game limit 4 - 5 games ago

Chrisius may be able to spare the time, we have been discussing the options for a new game these past weeks

I will be chatting with them both either tonight or over the weekend, and will invite them both to have a look over the thread




and Hi there Wib

it is good to see you here in Pem land

I hope you have a lot of fun, and feel encouraged to get involved in some more games soon

I would like to be the Ottomans. An industrial start sounds good.
I wouldn't want locked alliances as it takes some of the suspense out of the game.

Any interest??

yup..thrice he mentions it Paddy

I prefer locked or semi-locked alliances ... perhaps semi-locked allowing people to change sides, but with restrictions - perhaps 20 turn locked alliance, or something like that ...

Starting the game with a mutual protection pact sounds good. That way nations can pull out of the war or make peace with rivals should the going get too rough. If you can't set that up in the editor then we could all sign our respective MPPs on the first turn.

I don't remember if it can be set, but as you say we can set it in turn 1.

I understand wanting to have diplomatic options, but I do want it to be relatively close to the real thing - in the sense of the two sides being as they were and whatnot. I just want some security that we'll stick to the alliances at least for a little while

What about units? I think the light tank and ANZAC infantry from the WW2 scenario would look okay in WW1. Cavalry from the Napolean scenario would work as well.
