3 player PBEM - GAME STARTED

[Matrix]

Beta testing is about finished, so I'd like to start playing PBEM's. :)

I don't really fancy 1on1's. But when PBEM's have a lot of players it goes very slowly. Therefore I think three players is the happy medium. ;) Who'd like to play with me?

Settings: at your proposal, except no accellerated production and no fancy stuff like regicide etc. http://www.straland.com/images/smilies/shakehead.gif

Sounds like fun Matrix, I'd like to play. I can play on weekdays in the evening and in the weekends.

[Matrix]

Cool. Any preferences about the settings?

(Eldakkar=Gos; need to remember that.)

[Skyfish]

I'd like to join :)

[Matrix]

Great! :D

Unless anyone has objections, I'll start a game with these settings. I'll wait till you have responded.

World Size: standard
Barbarian activity: sedentary (Eldakkar's request)
Land Mass: Random
Water Coverage: Random
Climate: Random
Temperature: Random
Age: Random
Difficulty: Monarch

You do have to tell me whether we're playing with AI, or with just the three of us!

For the rest default rules except:
Culturally Linked Starting Locations (off)
Respawn AI Players (off)

AI or not is a big question , I would like to try without AI but the problem of this is that the game is very slow as everyone has to do its own research almost.
How about we start in Monarchy (with no AI) instead of Despotism ? This would speed the game up and provide an interesting solution.
Also I would not like "random climate" conditions as an arid world is just too difficult (no rivers or lakes).
My preference would go for easier conditions (normal, temperate, old) but I like wet, warm, 4billion also...

[Matrix]

Good points. Then I think we'd better have AI. Full house (5 AI) with 60% water?

Shall I do:
Climate: wet,
Temperature: temperate and
Age: random
then?

[Eldakkar]

I would like to have some ai, it makes life more interesting in the beginning

I would rather not start in monarchy, but from scratch.

The rest is ok with me

Any chance of making it 4 player?

[Matrix]

Sorry, but that wasn't really the intention. I'd like to play a game with more than 2 people that will also progress at a fairly high speed. If you wanna play a 4 player PBEM, you can always start a new request yourself. :)

Skyfish, Eldakkar, what Civs do you want to play with?
I'd like to play as Babylon this time. :) (Being Straland.)

[Skyfish]

I would like the Persians, if its ok with you :)

[Eldakkar]

I'd like to be an industrous civ too. But i fear it puts matrix at a small disadvantage. But if you are ok Matrix then i would like the americans.

[Matrix]

No problem here. I'll start the game now. :)

Eldakkar is second, then Skyfish.

[Skyfish]

Looks like the 3 of us are online tonight : lets start now ! ;)
