germanos, I agree. If I read Stefan's post right, the Hittites/dieogami take his turn, click next turn, save the file and then pass it to civfan for his turn 1 and so on? I know we talked about perhaps 5 turns per turn but that would create an unfair advantage to the Hittites, I think, since you never know that the AI will do in the first 4-5 turns to my and others civ.

Game On ! Support Apolyton

Great, we're rollin',and we have a full house

diegoami, what settings are we playing?
King or Deity?
And we are doing the Barbarian Wrath, right?


I hope we can cycle through the first rounds quickly, it shouldn't take us much more then 15 minutes to play for the first 50 rounds or so, so with a little luck we can a round each day

Steve: When you have played your turn, you can also post it here in the thread, as an alternitive of sending it by e-mail.
You post any significant that happened in your turn here. Especially window-messages that pop up in your turn should be mentioned.
just reread your post Steve: when you are done with your turn, you press CTRL-N, but NOT 'End Turn' !!
Save the game and then post it or send it.


If you want to know more about PBEM's, there is a PBEM FAQ at civfanitics in the PBEM section. Everything is basically covered there. There might be a similar section here

And resist the temptation to reload the game if a hut sprouts out a barb

Good luck to us all, and I hope we will meet in-game soon.

P.S.: has Kull been able to download the NO-CD patch yet?
And may I ask to all of you to check this thread dayly so we can get it moving? I would hate to wait for days if people only have to move 2 units...

i'll be taking my turn tonight. But question is should i take 50 turns or 20 or 30? Whats the magic number. 50 turns can make unfair balances. Anyways i'll post around 7 hours from now.

Let's agree first (?) Support Apolyton

I actually read that you should set Prince when starting a new PBEM



After this you select the scenario you want to play and/or the settings you prefer, PBEMs are generally played on the "Prince" difficulty level since it wont give bonuses to the civs which are controlled by AI (this means that units belonging to other civs wont get bonuses when one of the human players is playing his turn).

Source :

forums/attachment.php?s=&postid=1145635


And btw I did not find any “barbarian” setting , it is set to Raging Hordes by default, barbarians appear in this scenario through events and there are barbarian towns to conquer.


Maybe we should agree on the settings first. Playing Emperor makes perhaps more sense if we choose to enforce the house rule (48 hours) making the AI play if someone fails to post.

diegoami:

Did you read the readme yet that goes with the scenario? It will explain everything about 'Barbarian Wrath', while it also discusses the difficulty levels.

Your reference to the PBEMguide makes sense, but scenario makers tend to have an own will
There is definitely some discussion wether Prince or King is the best setting. But it has to do with the AI, and we are not going to have any, since all seven spots are filled. So it remains merely a question of (un)happy citizens...

discuss...

if we want to play with barbarian wraith and king level we should start over then!

Since its not clear about the turns, i only took 1 turn!
For this game we seriously need to do an mpg session.

Hopfully we all can get together one time. How is everyone for the weekend?

Say Saturday or Sunday!

Well anyways,

Err I uploaded the file twice.

First upload is Prince & Raging Hordes

Second upload is Deity & Barbarian Wraith

I still haven't uploaded a King & Barbarian Wraith start game
I can upload it when I am back home, in about 8/9 hours

Maybe me and Civfan can swap tribes, so he can create the starting file, he sure is more experienced than I am

Maybe we can get a neutral party to play the first 5/10 turns for ALL of us ?

Why don't we just start instead of waiting for MP to happen (which will likely not be the case)? We actually may be able to cycle through each turn fairly quickly (more than 1 person's turn/day). I can promise that when my turn comes up, I'll do it that evening and upload it back up.

Paul, since this is your baby, any thoughts?

Inflate your Upload Space

In my playtest I didn't find my neighbours yet.

I'll make sure I have some defence ready for the barbs. The unit that I can build (scirmishers )will be effective if I can build it in large enough numbers.

Don't worry about your capital though, the Palace guard should be able to hold it I think.

Maybe we will have to ally against the barbs

Or maybe I will have to take advantage of their rampage

I'm really looking forward to this game, it will be totally different from anything I have played yet.
Keep me posted on the Barbarian Hordes, please...

I hope Kull will be able to play soon... The way this goes, we could have fun without a MP session after all.

about 20 turns after I did an offensive and killed many barbs. One thing though was they all just seemed to die out at some point. By 2980 there were all gone. Wasn't much of an offensive. tens of them died by my swordsman and shirmishers. The rest perished against an assault on my capital.
