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!

I'm playing a Civ that has been washed away in Europe IRL. http://www.straland.com/images/smilies/rolleyes.gif What the hell am I going to do with swordmen of 50 shields?! Ah well, at least they're religious.
Sorry for not posting a starting position screenshot; didn't know it was important.
By the way, thanks for the setting up, digger! You're doing a great job and I'm sure this PBEM will stay alive...well...for a long time. http://www.straland.com/images/smilies/wink.gif I only hope it doesn't go as slow as DDPP (54 turns in 185 days so far).
Now that I think of it, I can show something about my starting position. http://www.straland.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

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.
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....
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.
quote:Originally posted by Matrix
Annual pncome and production is unclear either.
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.

I have NOT received turn 3 yet............
Who has it? Wildfire should have sent his turn 2 to digger on fridaynight. Anarres did you sent your turn 2 to Wildfire??????????
Otherwise I do not understand! :(
I have not received any game either I was s'pposed to play for Digger,I was s'pposed to get it from Wildfire
but he handed over to Dr A so .... Did you get anything Dr A ?
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).

09-06-2003, 15:49
Indeed, public holiday here - but trust me to show up during the day ;)
If I get a save tonight it won't be played until later on, maybe 8 or 9pm...
I sent 3900 BC to Cruise at 16:45. :)
And i sent it to ERIKK 45 minutes after that. [cool] And i've seen ERIKK online for a while so i guess he hit <enter> as well. [yeah]

10-06-2003, 11:22
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.
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.

You never got it? I sent it... will send home tonite. Or if you guys dont want to wait (since its early play and doesnt matter) you can have anarres send it to Dr. who already knows my pw and could play for me.
WF, I am at work and can not resend anything for another 6 hours...

10-06-2003, 14:41
maybe Dr A can play mine as well...its a press bar type move...is there any expansionist civs...if not why don't we let Dr A scroll though the press enter/space bar turns.

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.
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.
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.

no turn in my inbox this morning :(
Did not recieve it from Cruise. Havent seen a turn in days!
I never thought it would be Matrix to hold it up! [eek]
I hope all is OK with him....
Could be Melifluous but most likely Matrix as Melifluous squeezed a turn out of Killer late last night!
Seems I have a reputation to hold up. ;)
I received the game today at 08:01 and played & sent it to Cruise at 16:24.
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'm back for monday morning
Ah, I wondered who "Greg" was... http://www.straland.com/images/smilies/tongue.gif
I am still at work! [mad3]
I will play when I get home, but that may be an hour or two... [cry]

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?

no sav file today :(
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.
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. ;)

not much point when Wildfire is most likely sleeping...although i did see him online 7:30am my time the other morning (a once in a blue moon event), it was 2:30am were he was.
I get up every week day morning to play civ.... I think i am a civ addict!
I only play in the morning when there is time to play. This time I made time to play... But I knew the chance would be limited that anarres would be playing early too. But you never know, ok!

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
The entire month oktober. I will find a replacement though, as it is not in the holiday season...

I'm staying home (almost) the entire summer, except for some weekends.
Killer, that's an awful long time. I don't like replacements either, but if you're the only one being away for a long period, I think you should find it. But let's wait for the rest their plans...
I'm not sure yet, I am gonna get a last minute holiday cheap somewhere...

Interesting remark from anarres.... what does he means???? [satan]
Well...
it means either WF will take out Matrix very early and show true PBEM 'skillz', or Matrix will survive and make WF's painful death his personal mission.
Either way, it will be fun to watch from the sidelines. ;) [evil]

lol, I will probably regret it but I'd rather declare war than be declared on and be taken out easily like in the OCC.
Plus, I hampered him pretty bad by taking and destroying his worker.
PBEM Skillz?? Me? lol.

I got and sent to Matrix.
Who then asked me to send the right turn.
So I did...
And he said "No, the other right turn".
So I looked and played the right one and sent it to him.
I'm a bit stupid sometimes [:p]
Melifluous
sometimes ?????
It's not like you got only ONE turn from Skyfish in place of Killer ?
[goggle]
You know I might have played my last turn today. I don't think there's any better move for WildFire than trying to destroy me (though he doesn't have much of a chance).
digger760
08-07-2003, 08:49
chance....you better belive it...if the RNG it going to go craptastics its when you need it the least.
turn 20 sent to skyfish, and here is the current score board
http://www.civ3duelzone.com/forum/uploaded/digger760/20037874840_8p_20_score.jpg
13.52KB
looks like the leaders are battling it out.
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]
http://www.straland.com/junk/Civ3Death.jpg
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. In return I'll make as much statistics as possible of this game! http://www.straland.com/images/smilies/yeah.gif I'd love to do that in any case and I'm sure you'll enjoy it too. ;)

Crickey, that sounds almost as bad as the shitty luck i had in nh1. 3 swords (2 vet 1 reg) losing to one reg spear spear, leaving the spear at full elite strength.
i think i have the savs, but they are on my home PC. Perhaps wildfire will spare you....then again maybe not.
IF WF decides to spare you he can demand anything he wants. It may make sense to leave an obediant ally that will do his bidding....
WildFire would be the dumbest player if he lets me live, especially taking into account what he did to me in the "past".

My archer had 81% chance of success. My warrior 56%. Effectively, the chance of losing with both units was 8.5%. [crazyeye]

Now i do [satan]
You have learned your lesson well, young Wildfire. May the force be with you....
Gotta love the kid !
At least I can tell Killer I did not end up last for him :D
Ok, I'm of course a bit disappointed that I'm out of the game so early, but I wouldn't mind that much if Digger sends me the savegames. Digger!! http://www.straland.com/satan/sad.gif
And WF, have you already played the turn? Have you sent me the game you sent to Digger? If not, doesn't matter now cos Digger will send me all the savegames he has received, won't he? http://www.straland.com/satan/rolleyes.gif

sorry i was busy this morning and last night (went to see great australian artist Kevin Bloody Wilson last night) only had time to play sav this morning. Hopefully tommorow morning i can copy them all to disk and bring them work and send them.
I never even looked at the score card, just moved my settler and pressed enter.
Moved a settler he ? Interesting [groucho] [groucho]
Keep the info coming Digger :D

Hey Wildfire, how about an alliance?
better keep these barbarians as friends as it seems... [devil2]

just look at F11 screen, looks like a few people have cranked out a settler, its hardly private info
I'm a noob Digger can you explain to me how you know who cranked settlers out from the F11 screen please ?
digger760
09-07-2003, 13:09
well, it shows the top 5 cities and there sizes, most of them are size 1 so i assume they have dropped from 3 to 1, like me, when they made a settler.
Note Salamanca on top is still size 3. haha wildfire is a bit slow to re-produce.
He does have two cities though. [rolleyes]

I'm receiving all savegames WildFire sends to anarres now! (Thanks! ;)) I also know the entire map thanks to DrAlimentado, who sent it to me. :D Statistics are still coming, but it's too darn beautiful weather to be behind the computer these days. ;)
I only wonder: why are the savegames named "NH"?
digger760
17-07-2003, 10:12
you mean the subject title? Wildfire and myself are in a 4 player game host by Napolean Hitler, which is to hard to keep typing out so we just Acronym it.
AS it so happens i send the NH turn to wildfire who generally replies with the 8 player turn.
Can you tell me was the last turn i sent you i have a few to catch up on.
turn 27 was sent to skyfish last night

i think he meant to say all games sent by wildfire to me. I forward them to Matirx for Stats.
WildFire
17-07-2003, 18:44
So I should just send the 7 player game to you and Matrix?
digger760
17-07-2003, 22:35
that would be better, since i have dial up i try to minimise the sending of emails, so yes please email your turn to matrix and me.
But I am the one sending the saves of the 7 player to Digger, not WF ??????????????????????
[confused] [crazyeye] [confused] [crazyeye]
digger760
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.
digger760
18-07-2003, 12:37
by the way, i am away for the weekend and monday as well.
digger760
22-07-2003, 10:11
ok, back again, but no sav file????? who the hell has it.
I can't remember what tuen we are on, Skyfish tells me on msn that it is turn 28. Anybody from Mel through to Wildfire must have the turn...or it is lost in cyberspace.
I haven't seen it yet, so rule out me and WF. I can't confirm the turn at work, but the last one I sent to WF was *several* days ago...
WildFire
22-07-2003, 18:04
I don't have it so get another scape goat ;)
Last one I sent to anarres was 27, he played that one and sent it to WF who has played it too.. Must be Mel or Cruise then who holds 28
digger760
23-07-2003, 14:46
i found the problem, Mel never received turn28, skyfish can you send to Mel again.
digger760
24-07-2003, 10:38
Ok, i sent turn 28 to skyfish again, i believe we are back on track and that Mel should now have turn 28.
I think Mel is on holidays next week. I am on holidays the week after and wildfire is on holidays between the 1st and 10th of August. So after tommorow it might be 2 weeks before we play a turn again.
[mad] All those damned holiday goers should find replacements ! [mad]

digger760
05-08-2003, 11:10
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.
digger760
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.

Well that makes Prettyvacant Prime candidate. Any other volunteers?

06-08-2003, 12:59
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.
