You beat Paul? I never heard that?

Online and pbem are quite different. Using building ques in online allows you to speed things up. Pre plotting your troop movements does too. You also need a strong game strategy from the onset.

I didn't say I beat Paul... Jppw was talking about Yoda, not me.

I thought you were going to start up our PBEM challenge match, Blackice. If you can't, no problem. I already have three challenge matches going.

Hello redbull! I bet you're just playing possum! I've got three challenge matches going, but I'm sure someone out there would like a challenge match. Once I complete one of these matches, I would be happy to play you. I try to keep it to no more than 3 challenge matches at once. BTW -- What is your best defeat of the a/i redbull? Cheiftain -- Deity? This gives other players a ROUGH idea of your level of play so you can match up.

I'll take you on Redbull. I'll just remind you of the settings:

Standard One vs. One PBEM Rules

Map size: Huge
Difficulty: Emperor
Earth World
Bloodlust Off
Pollution On
Number of Civilizations 4
(2 Human Players, 2 Computer Players)
Map:
Wet/dry 50%
warm/cold 50%
Ocean/land 50%
Island/continent 50%
Uniform/diverse 50%
few/many goods 50%
One Settler (default)
100 Gold (default)

I'm easy with the ruins, allowed or not allowed is ok with me. I'll be the Australians... Who would you like to be?

Are these games moderated? If so, would anyone like to moderate?

Ricketyclik,

If you tell me your best defeat against the a/i I'll put you on the PBEM Challenge ladder if you wish. Redbull is already there as best a/i defeat (BAID) = Prince.

Quinns

	Full PM-box? Change here!

Are these Challenge maps identical, or am i just incredibly unlucky?! I've seen bigger rivers by me taking a leak than what i've inherited in these PBEM challenges!! (*****, moan, whine)

My brave warriors are so looking forward to spending years on end traversing through swamps and ice in search of greener pastures And to make matters worse, Quinns reckons he's finished the Alien Life Project! Methinks Quinns is bullshitting!

I'll have to check the maps, but as far as i can tell, not only do the maps appear to be identical, but i appear to be stuck in the same swamp!

I'm sure i can overcome this hurdle against Tweety, but it's a hurdle i can ill-afford to have against a reputation as formidable as Quinns!

Well I made the map (random map) for my game with Lung. I simply can't imagine, that the maps should be identicals. But who knows how Craptivisions map-engine works - afterall we are using the same settings.

LOL ... Lung, we can restart this one if you like. We haven't reached turn 10 yet. In fact, you can start it if you wish. You play 1. blue, I'll play 2. orange, and let the a/i play 3. green and 4. pink. Just use the settings mentioned earlier.
