Since, i'm finaly getting settled in my new house, I would like to try a bit of PBEM.

I'm a casual civ3 player. Beating the AI on Emperor and not always on Demi-god. I normaly win with Spaceship. (in SP games I do not micro manage mutch, I'll have to pick it up a bit in MP)

Diplo players will have noticed I'm prety realiable.

Who's up?

Seeing as my life seems to be settling down a little and my activity here seems to have settled down I'd like to offer myself as an opponent.

I beat Emperor most times, never played Demi. I like winning.

What are your terms?

I'm open to most things, but would prefer a fairly unmodded, unruled, no-holds barred kinda game.

I cant see the arguments against SGLs myself, seems a nice bonus for those willing to tech.

Will be willing to suggest that we choose civs for each other, with the disclaimer that you can turn at least one choice down.

Sound ok?

Why is that, Meli?

Are you feeling lucky? :)

SGL's are pure luck, so if one of you get one early and rushes the Pyramids, who do you think is going to win?

That is good for me.

From the spoilers I read it is more fun with AI. Lets say 4 (2 each)
Equal starts.
I do not mind continents. They seem to make more exciting games.


I say you play Korea (I have not seen them alot) I'll let you select mine accordingly.

I resent that implication!

I did not have sexual relations with that...

erm...

I like to tech, what can I say?

Not sure if that would be quite such a game breaker. It's risk I'm willing to take, I will of course offer my rival another scientific civ.

Should be fun.

It does allow for a more extended game than the archer rush [:p]
Agreed on continents. Coast no less than 3 sea squares apart continents?

Sounds good.

I offer Russia in return.

Your call on SGLs. SoZ a minor wonder, ivory on both continents ok?
I have no rules on MPPs, MAs etc. If you want any please state.

I am available now on MSN should it suit you?

Addy in my profile.

OK, everything is legal except gameplay exploits (big picture view, arrow between turns, moving twice with Go To)

For the rest (transport chaining, palace jump, AI exploits, RoP rape) we are free to use.

Feel lucky for a second game, sure.

You can read what I have going on, do you suggest anything different? I do not mind the same either.

I'm open to any style, I don't think I'm ready for moded games thought

Still regular game with regular units and a regular tech tree.
