View Full Version : Multi-human PBEM?

I read all the Fab4 spoilers, and a game with multiple humans seemed like a lot of fun, even if it lasts for awhile. Perhaps it would be better to wait until I have more experience, but generally I have never let my (lack of) abilities slow me down.
Four players seems about the right amount. Game keeps moving, but nice number of players. Also, random map balanced by the map maker seems reasonable to me. Any interest?

Wow, that was quick! Any preference for your civ?
Player: Civilization
bed_head7: undecided
Lt. Killer M: no indication yet

well, how about we ALL pick non-agri civs?
then I'd like to be.... hmmm..... how about Persia?

That sounds good to me. I am thinking Egypt or the French, depending on the sort of map we choose.
Signing in, can't miss one of these. I'd like to play the Greeks, if we agree to the non-agricultural setting and won't chose an archipelago.
Me, me, me!! :D
I'd like to be the Babylonians.

fine, now thta we are 4 we should discuss the map type - how about we ask a mapmaker to give us a pangae type map for early war AND long-term potential? maby with multiple chokepoints between all players or so?
I wouldn't like the obvious 2vs2 that develops from a continents map, and archipelago sucks IMO.
I think a pagea would be fine. Do we want AI on it or not? If not I'd say a small map would be best, while there is still enough room for 4 players.

tiny to small was what I thouhgt. I personally am AGAINST AIs on the map, unless there are 4 of them, each ONLY connected to ONE human (pet civ). Otherwise, idiotic AI behaviour can screw up the fun too easily (dumb blocking of chokes or stuff).
Do we want SGLs on? And SoZ?
I'd like to play with them on, as long as the chances on ivory are equal an the troop the SoZ gives is changed to somehting less powerfull, but upgradable.

Alright then. We need only a map maker now, and to agree on a few game specifications, right?
bed_head7: Egypt
Lt. Killer M: Persia
grs: Greece
Matrix: Babylon
Map size: small, or standard with AIs if the setup is as Killer suggested
Map type: Pangaea
SGLs: undecided
SoZ: some fix to make it fair
That's all, right?
I'd say small without AI then. SGL on would be a big advantage for the scientifics I would say, but that would be Egypts problem, so from my pov, Egypt decides. Some SoZ fix is ok.

I hadn't even thought of the fact that I was the only non-sci. In that case, SGLs on, as it would feel unfair to take away from everyone's trait-specific abilities but my own.
Map size: small (no AI)
Map type: pangaea
SGLs: on
SoZ: some fix
Once I get an okay from Matrix on these specs, I will post a request in the Map Making forum.
I'm fine with it all. ;)
Concerning SoZ: I prefer it stays in existence and either doesn't need ivory, or ivory will be within everyone's reach.
hmm, may I join u there?
I'm facing dificult to find opponents here...

I personally don't have any problem with that, unless five would make balancing the map difficult. Of course, the others need to be okay with it as well.
Lt. Killer M
11-05-2005, 12:24
fine with me!
Well, I wanted to say: "Nay, go away, we want no 5th player!". But since I would be the only one... welcome Wosret ;)
bed_head7
12-05-2005, 01:56
What civ would like to play as, Wosret?
If I'm correct no agricultural Civs?
If agricultural possible I'd like to be Iroquis.
If not, I'd like to be Cataghe (baaad english heehe)
Ok, game is running, good luck to all.
Played and sent. :)
Could you all (except Killer) please PM or e-mail me your e-mail addresses? I'd like to add this game to the Turn Tracker (http://www.straland.com/turntracker/).

I am still in the states, and as my USB stick is with the wife I can't get at any saves [cry]

So, anyone have better ideas for a name for this game so that it isn't just "5 player?" I was just going to post the starting position and game specs to start off the spoiler thread for this game (yeah, I know it is a bit soon, but now that I have a forum I am kind of excited to use it), but realized the game didn't really have a name. And I certainly lack the creativity to come up with anything good.

I've now had Conquests for about 3 hours. So I learn by getting my head handed to me.
Looking to play people.

Well, this game has already started, so this would not be the appropriate place. You could post a new thread in this forum if you like, and surely someone will come along.
Started?! [blink] I haven't seen a single savegame yet!
I even added it to the Turn Tracker (http://www.straland.com/turntracker/5player.php), but that seems to have been a waste of time.

erhm, isn't this tiny4?
that one is at turn 13 or 14 IIRC.....
bed_head7
10-07-2005, 19:24
No, this has five players, and as I recall, we are waiting on you at the moment, Killer.
And when I said started, I have played a turn.
Lt. Killer M
11-07-2005, 07:52
hmmmmmm
I can't seem to remember getting a save - from wosret maybe?
bed_head7
11-07-2005, 09:46
Matrix said he sent to you on 12th June.
bed_head7
12-07-2005, 12:28
So, does anyone know where the save is? I know I sent it to grs.

Killer, the Tiny 4-player is not in the turn tracker and the players are Dell19, Wosret, you and me... ;)
some mess here it seems :D hehehe, well, i didnt received any sav from this 5 members game....

After quite a bit of searching for the save, I found it. Sent to grs for the second time. Hopefully we'll actually get somewhere now.
I played and sent months ago. I have no problem to do so again, but I would like to hear from all players involved, that they actually want to play this.

Okay. I understand that. I didn't go all out looking for the original save, since there had been no real response when I asked who had ever even gotten a turn.
Lt. Killer M
08-08-2005, 10:58
actually, I do not give any fucking shit about this - either I get saves and an address to send to, or not. that goes for all games.
The save was sent to Matrix this morning.
what is the order of game?
this should be better to the "host" to post the sequence and the respectives emais to avoid misunderstoods. sure, if it is easy to do, if not .. no problems :D
