quote: Originally posted by Iron Jackson Hi, all! I was just thinking about the order we play. Don - based in Boston, Massachusetts ? -> USA Kaiser Wilhem - Madrid, Spain Bongo - Fetsund, Norway Paddy the Scot - no idea Iron Jackson - Dortmund, Germany So we got 3 players in Europe - 1 timezone Don, youīre 6 hours behind (Eastern time). Paddy ? Iīd like to propose this order: Don Kaiser Wilhem Bongo Iron Jackson Paddy will fit in depending on his location. Any suggestions ? BTW: Random settings is o.k.

Good point Iron!

Judging by Paddy's timestamp, I'd say he's from the east coast of Australia. So, I guess the order will be:

Don: Romans
Kaiser Wilhem: Germans
Bongo: ?
Paddy: ?
Iron Jackson: Russians

MAP, again, is:
standard continents, 70% water*
random barbarians
random climate
random age
random temperature

70% might be more enjoyable than 80% for 5 civs.

GAME RULES:
domination: y
conquest: y

got your email address Iron, thanks. If ya'll (southern accent) could send me yours as well, we can start!

My civ-list was in prioritized order so I'll have carthage.

The settings are fine.

The playing order seems ok but we should perhaps base it on when we are able to play rather than where we live? As this is a PBEM game I shoud have no problem playing a turn while I am at work ( 0900-1700 GMT). When I get my home connected to the internet again(I have just moved) I'll also be able to play until 0100 GMT. Just a thought.

Edit: A final question, what version? PTW 1.27(that is the latest, right?)

I also own the 1.27 version. Iīve heard there is no problem playing against 1.21 players
For next two weeks iīll be able to play practically anytime between 11:00 and 00:00 GMT. But I start school on 17th, and then iīll play specially between 14:00 and 20:00 GMT.

Even better point Bongo. I'll generally be able to play, between 2:00pm gmt and 4:00pm gmt (1400gmt to 1600gmt), as well as 9:00pm gmt (2100 gmt) and 5:00am gmt (0500 gmt).

This will be a 1.27 game.

Order of play and Summary so far:
1.Bongo:Carthage, 0900-1700 gmt and eventually till 0100 gmt
2.Kaiser Wilhem: Germans, 1100-0000 gmt
3.Don: Romans, 1400-1600 gmt and 2100-0500 gmt

Paddy: ????????????????????????
Iron Jackson: Russians


Map/Game settings agreed upon.

Just need Paddy's info and email address.

By tomorrow, my email address will be donkhotay@comcast.net

We play without AI so it doesn't matter that much. I'll vote for regent but I'll also accept monarch.

I took the liberty to start the game. There are some minor changes, the order is the same but I play the first turn.

Players/Order/Emails:
1.Bongo: Carthage,
tom-rune (dot) dolva (at) ffi (dot) no

2.Kaiser Wilhem: Germans,
andresmorenor (at) terra (dot) es

3.Don: Romans,

4.Paddy: Celts,

5.Iron Jackson: Russians,

I set regent as the difficulty and turned 'accelerated production' off.

I sent the game to Kaiser Wilhelm. I used 'PTW PBEM game' as the mail subject and named the save 'to kaiser wilhelm, 4000BC.sav'. We should use this type of naming as an convention so we avoid the saves going into the SPAM-bin

Remember to set your passwords this turn.

Oh, if you disagree with the changes/decisions I made we can always start over. Setting the game up only takes about 10 minutes.

I have received a note that Paddy the Scot does not wish his EMail address to be posted on a public forum.
(something most of us can understand)

In respect of his wishes, I have edited his address out.
If he has changed his mind since he sent me the note, he can always repost it in this thread, no harm no foul. However, if he doesn't wish it posted here... you can always get it from him via PM.

Sorry if I have caused any problems.. but I did have to respond to his note to me.

Carry on.

I'm fine with that, actually I share Paddys view on e-mail-privacy.

Paddy, do you consider the way I wrote the addresses to be 'safe'?

Don, you may want to edit the adresses in your post as well.

Bongo, I received your savegame, but Iīm afraid itīs corrupted! I cut+paste to saves file in CIV3PTW, then I launch PTW and go to Load Game, there it is the savegame, but when I open it an error message is displayed saying it "may be corrupted" o something like that. I have tried everything and still doesnīt work :
Did I do it right? This is my first game and iīm very unsure...

Check your patch level, you should have PTW 1.27f.

I checked the file on my own comp and it seemed OK. I'll resend it just in case.

Now it worked perfectly. Guess what, when I installed 1.27 it didnīt install at all. Itīs very weird. Now i have downloaded it again and the first time did the same, but the secon worked well and i have played my first turn
Sorry for my clumsiness

Sorry for the delay but as I told you my new home don't have internet yet. I don't think I could have played much this weekend anyway. I'm getting married in two weeks and it was stag party this saturday. One word: alcohol, lot's of alcohol And strippers

Playing it now, I'll send it to Kaiser Wilhelm when I'm done, not much to do really but I like to plan a bit the first turn.
