Maybe this game should have its own forum. I will use this thread to post when i have sent the turn on. Hopefully so will everybody else, this thread will help us keep track of the sav if it gets lost, and if you check this thread regularly it may sav you sitting around for a few hours waiting for a sav.

I played the first turn this morning. I am happy to announce i am the Romans, they were one of my favourite civs back in the days of civ1, i can't remember having played them in civ3 yet.

Patch: 1.27
Difficulty: Emperor
Map: Pangea 80% land. 5 billion years, standard size.
All civs random.

Playing order:
digger760 - Romans
Killer - Indians
ProPain - Mongols
Tunerica - Babylonians
Erikk - Greeks
anarres - Japan
Markstar - Iroquois

Lets get it on.

got it, sent it, am the dumbfuck Indians.

Now, taking experience from my game vs Erik, you better not let me get to elephants - they never even lose 1 HP in battles..... Never!

06-06-2003, 10:23
I don't think so...its a bit of effort in the morning...and i am on dial up modem at home so its a bit painful. Besides i think the score stays the same through out the turn and updates when i get it. So anybody could do it.I might do it every 10th turn or something.

On a side note. i'll be gone for the weekend so i'll be looking for a somebody to press the space bar or enter key for me.

digger760
06-06-2003, 11:02
skyfish and Dr A said they would be able to play as back ups. i asked skyfish to play my turn over the weekend..since all that is required is to press space bar and send on. If there anybody else that won't be availible and only needs the space bar pressed..could they please post today...then i'll email you all with the arrangements and the back players email

Thank you. [cool] I could indeed keep up the scores and post a same kind of chart as for DDPP. If this game appears to run well I think I'll even make a same kind of log. :)

We could keep demographics every 10 turns in this game (too). And I've figured out that only the population, Mfg. Goods (shields), BNP (commerce) and Land Area are interesting. The last one unfortunately includes water squares http://www.straland.com/images/smilies/undecided.gif but what the hell.

Matrix
06-06-2003, 14:37
No, never mind about Mfg. Goods and BNP: they're not interesting if you don't have it of every turn. And I'm not gonna ask that from you. ;)

BNP??? is that the dutch version of GDP

opps clicked on edit post instead of reply with quote..sorry matrix did'nt mean to edit you post.

Military service is interesting isn't it..it says who has the biggest army.
Literacy measures who is producing the most beakers.

I don't know how life expectancy is measured..or what it measures..pollution who cares....

Matrix
06-06-2003, 16:43
Military Service is number of units divided by the population (times some factor). It's doesn't really tell that much. Besides if it does, I don't want to show you how big or small my army is. http://www.straland.com/images/smilies/tongue.gif

Literacy shows, I believe, the division of libraries over your cities. But it's certainly not directly related to number of beakers. Disease is unimportant (just like pollution indeed). Life expectancy is unclear. Number of children is always 1. http://www.straland.com/images/smilies/rolleyes.gif Annual pncome and production is unclear either.

Kemal

If IIRC, annual income shows how many different kind of resources (luxuries and strategic) you have connected to your empire, and production is the total amount of food, shields and commerce (uncorrupted) that is produced by your empire.

Here is a link to a thread at CFC by Bamspeedy explaining the meaning of all the categories in the demographics, for those interested:

but he handed over to Dr A so .... Did you get anything Dr A ?

anarres
08-06-2003, 20:31
Sorry this was my fault.

I got the save sent to my work email on Friday afternoon, and forwarded it to myself, and it missed my email filtering system and got buried in a load of other emails.

When I saw ERIKKs post today I played and sent to Wildfire (and to DrA who is his stand-in this weekend).

sorry guys...no sav file in my inbox this morning so with any other information i can only guess its between anarres and wildfire

Yup, sent it to anarres yesterday around 21:00 CET on civ3@danwilliamson.net mail... Must be stuck between them again :(

digger760
10-06-2003, 11:36
Can i ask everybody to make every effort to post here if they were expecting the sav and did'nt get it. I will help to get the game moving again. Obviosly we are now waiting on a post from anarres or wildfire as to the status of the sav.

anarres
10-06-2003, 12:01
Well, I got the email around 8.30pm and played and sent by 9pm to WildFire. [:p]

Fuck, I hold up the very first turn and now everyone assumes it's my fault. [cry]

digger760
10-06-2003, 12:06
i never blamed anybody...for some reason emails got lost between people...thats why its important to post here if you never got the sav and and you were expecting it. So since wildfire never posted here, i assume he sent it to me and i never got it. So could you please re-send it wildfire.

The rest of you can take it easy for the day.

Spoke to Dr A on MSN..he will play Wildfire and digger760 turns.

Annares can you send the sav to Dr A when you get home.
Dr A can you post when you have sent the sav on.
Wildfire can you keep checking this thread just to make sure the sav has moved on.

anarres
10-06-2003, 15:33
Hang on, WF has a scout doesn't he? I am not sure having people stand in on non-trivial turns is such a good idea. What if the scout finds another civ? Do you trade or not?

digger760
10-06-2003, 15:54
ok...i only suggested it cos wildfire mentioned DrA could play his turns.

DrA back plan aborted then....i will look for the sav off wildfire. don't know about tonight though i'm kinda busy. Tommorow morning as usual is ok.

Matrix
10-06-2003, 16:58
Apart from the current discussion: it might be best to send a message to your previous player when you haven't got the game in time. I think we all check our e-mail more often than this thread (and chat programs are of course faster), plus the fact that this thread won't become too cluttered.

digger760
11-06-2003, 08:31
3850BC turn sent to killer (last night about 8:30pm GMT)

i will be online tonight 9:30pm till 10:00pm (GMT) normally wildfire has sent to me by then so if people are around we might get anohter turn in tonight

But now I have bad news: I'll be gone this weekend from tomorrow (early) till sunday, where I'll home at 19:00 (earliest). I hope that's early enough to play the full turn (i.e. all of us) then...

digger760
12-06-2003, 17:51
don't worry to much matrix i'm gone from the weekend too. But if i get sav tommorow morning i will play it. hopefully about 7am. If killer and mel are on the ball we might be able to get it back to you before you go. (spoke to Matrix on ICQ - he wants to leave about 10:15am Friday morning, so thats our target)

I propose that since we are doing about 1 turn a day for this game we start another 8 player game if all the people are interested. Same order so if you have both at the same time, you can play them and send them off. We can have someone make the map again, or go a random map (which would be interesting) so that when I lose, I could blame it on the map!

What do ya say?

Sent to anarres early in the morning (07:45). He will probably not play it until 21:00 CET... If I had gotten it earlier yesterday evening there would not be such a delay today.

Yeah, I can not play until my normal time, around 7.30p GMT.

Matrix
19-06-2003, 11:45
I received the game yesterday at 23:13 and sent it at 0:11. I guess I won't see the game today, but that's ok. I hope to see it tomorrow around 17:00 GMT as usual; then we're on schedule again. :)

I'm not interested in a second PBEM. But if you're gonna do it, I will follow it as closely as possible and would like to make an excessive website about it. I'll split it up between a part for you, the players, and a part for outsiders who will be able to follow that game as closely as possible. ;)

The problem with making a log for a game where I myself am a player as well is that I can only show you my own territory and situation. Actually, I've waited for this opportunity for some time now. :) But there aren't that much PBEM's with multiple players that stay alive for quite some time. I'm sure this one will. ;)

I will be AWAY from July 5 to August 18.


Can we have a poll on whether I should resign, find a replacement or we simply stall the game? If you all are away for summer holidays it might be that there would be a 7 week delay anyways.....



Report your holiday dates please

08-07-2003, 13:42
He had a conscript warrior fortified next to my capital, hoping that the barbarians behind him could make it a regular warrior. But it didn't attack. Instead I attacked with the regular archer I just finished. Unfortunately for me it lost leaving the warrior with one hitpoint, but it upgraded to a regular (2HP) warrior. I could wait and build another archer which would've costed me 8 turns. If I did I wouldn't have had much of a chance afterwards, so I decided to take the chance and attacked him with the regular warrior defending my capital. I lost, so now completely.

You got your revenge, WildFire. ;) Too bad I'm not Col. [:p]

Now what?
Digger, have you kept all your previous savegames? If so I'd like to have them all. ;) In any case I'd like a carbon copy of all savegames WildFire sends to Digger.

18-07-2003, 11:05
For clarity, Now that Matirx has been eliminated, he has kindly offered to draw up some stats on the game. To do this he needs the sav files at the start of ech turn. Since i am at the start he needs the sav files that wildfire sends me. So i either forward the sav that Wildfire sends me to him or Wildfire can send it to him.

Skyfish you just keep playing and sending to Mel.

I think Matrix has all the savs up till turn 23.

I think Cruises timeslot was 17:30-18:30 UK time, but since matrix has been eliminated you will have between 13:00 and 18:30UK time. Does that suit ok? (i suspect it won't) If you can't gaurantee a turn each weekday then I'll have to say no.

Just Read Matrix was the first to be eliminated. I think it's kinda harsh to destroy Matrix first in one of his 8 player games. He loves those crowded games, and now it;s over already.

Really bad luck with the archer Matrix.

just in time - i normally get home at 18.00 and what better way than to wind down from the invariably crap journey than a cuppa and a pbem turn. My first words when coming through the door are now "get off that f***ing computer woman !!".

However I can not gaurantee this will be everyday; at least once a fortnight I am up in S Yorks working and probably one other day a fortnight I will be late home.

your call

hmmm not sure, maybe Matrix would like a second chance (it is a perfect solution timewise)

What does everybody else think?

Stupid me forgot i sent Matrix all the saves. And he also knows the whole map.

Well that makes Prettyvacant Prime candidate. Any other volunteers?

personally i wouldnt hold that knowledge against Matrix. Knowing the map might seem important but how useful is it really? Unless he is in a position to know the strategies of his neighbour id let him play. I think it is up to him to say whether what he knows would give him an unfair advantage.
