Subject says it all eh.

Col, since you apparently like peaceful builder games and it is my first PBEM ever I would kindly ask you to propose game settings if I can play Iroqs on a small Pangea [evil] ?

Level? Monarch or Emperor?
Barbs? Raging?
Random everything else

Lets play emperor, it is a learning exercise anyway. Raging barbs? Great! Good for income and training.

And agreed on everything random else if the mapmaker kan keep an eye on balance. How about AI civs, two of 'm?

I am already on Conquests btw, hope this will work if the map is made in a different version of the editor, well we'll find that out.

I cant play conquests yet - but it should just be a a matter of days. Do you wanna wait and play it in conquests?

If that is OK with you, did not plan to start this week anyway. Just let me know when you're ready.

I would also wait for patch #1 with the corruption fix's in (or whatever attempt at a fix is in there)...

Damn, just started PTW (it has a seperate set of icons in the start menu) and it fucks up menu and play text [confused]. Could this bcos of a UK ptw and a US Conquests? ptw shows it is on 1.27 btw and CFC indicates a very significant difference in patchsize UK <> US.

Some good news: I missed the MP option in the Conquests menu [blush2] and it is working fine now. More good news: I installed Conquests on my laptop as well and the Conquests PBEM (play by LAN actually) seems to work OK.

Baaad news: Iroquies have agri and comm as there abilities now so no Scout that helps to bridge the 3-Tech path to HB :( . So Mr. Big Mouth plan falls apart here. Col, will you grant me the option to select another Civ or do you insist to go with this arrangement? It will be fun anywayz.
