Doesn't matter who I'm with, anyone need a partner?

quote: 3. What level do you typically play at in SP?

While I did beat Diety in PTW, I mostly play at Emperor and Demi in C3C. Mostly because I do not ENJOY microing in singleplayer. PBEMs are different though, ie, I put more time in knowing I'm only play one turn than when I'm attempting to knock off 50 turns in an hour...

Roleplayer, definately. Though that role tends to be on the warmonger side more often than not.

Edit edit: bpayne: Persia, UnO: Arabia

I'm not much of a poster anymore, but get by when I can. More due to RL issues and lack of Civ discussion these waning days, though.

MZO for non-civ stuff.

Edit: Teaming with other MZO teams will be easier on bpayne, and thus our team.

Here's the discussion where I was convinced not to play with SGLs. With all due respect to the Bongolians, Getting an SGL and ivory from the RNG made one of the original Iron Civer games a forgone conclusion, even though the original player was booted for slow play and the other three players dogpiled the replacement.

Alexman suggested making Copurnicus's scientific to compensate them for the loss of SGLs, but for this game, I feel that Persia is overpowered enough (at least in an FFA game) to deal with the loss. Of course, if Sir Ralph has dealt with ivory somehow, it might not be that big of a deal anyway...

I'm generally for SGL's on, but with only one scientific civ in here it might be better to turn it off. I guess i don't care either way.

It was intertwined with discussion elsewhere in the thread on the general idea of how what is fun in quick SP games (significant random events) can be a bit aggravating in a PBEM you sink months of your time into. Good to hear about ivory, though.

One thing I was thinking - will teammates be playing one after the other? I would hope so. That way, once they have in game contact, they can trade off who playes the game so that if one is on vacation or something, the game isn't held up. This also gives a glimps of what each player is thinking... etc.

I can see positives and negatives. Let me know what you think.

No, but you are on the right track. Each culture team will alternate (i.e., Europe, Middle East, Asia, Europe, Middle East, Asia)... but I suggest that partners share their passwords, and even perhaps that the save get sent to *both* partners, so that they can really get into each other's game (and cover playing for the other if need be).

	Suffering from ads?

I'll play, but I don't have a partner in mind. In keeping with the theme, I'd be happy to partner with a less experienced PBEM player.

For the record:

1. Alliance games rock
   
   
2. Partner - see above
   
   
3. I'm most comfortable at Emperor. I can generally win at DemiGod under reasonable conditions, but it's hard work. Having said that, I haven't played an SP game beyond the first 40 turns for quite some time. I prefer to play PBEM on Emperor, but for this game it depends on the comfort level of my partner.
   
   
4. Warbuilding Micromanaging Roleplayer
   
   
5. Depends on my partner, but I'll take the weaker of the combo we're allotted.
   
   
6. Are there other universes outside of Apolyton?

I'm especially interested in the coordination approach, and in teamwork with a more experienced player. Dom's desire for full-scale competition is great, but not what I have in mind this time.

1. Whether you want to be in an alliance or FFA game.

Alliance.

2. If alliance, who you have or would like as a partner. If possible, teams should include a mix of experience levels.

None specific, but "I am but an egg" and wish to learn.

3. What level do you typically play at in SP?

Monarch, but I should be playing at least Emperor.

4. Pick one word: Builder, Warmonger, Warbuilder, Micromanager, Diplomat, Roleplayer, Evil Genius (OK, that’s two words), Banana

Micromanager. I consider myself a builder, but in Civ3 my former neighbors might disagree (if they were alive to do so).

5. What civ(s) you’d like to play.

Arabia, China [now playing India in a belated AU504]

6. If you are not primarily an Apolyton poster, what site is your home?

This has been home since Civ2.
