PBEM game against a NOOB (that's me!)_GAME STARTED

[Moff Jerjerrod]

Hi all,

I have time this week to begin a 1v1 PBEM game with anyone interested. I have the latest patch for PTW (1.27) and no mods or user created units, etc.

I'm interested in playing either a tiny or small map with someone including some ai opponents mixed in. AI opponents are optional though, we don't really need them if you prefer not to have them.

Since I've never PBEM'ed with PTW I may need some initial instruction. I understand that Conquests is due out this week but I probably won't be able to get my hands on it for a while.

[Lt. Killer M]

hey Moff, I'd be in! :D let's request a map quickly.

[blackwizzard]

if you want we can start a 3 player game ?

[Lt. Killer M]

bw, that turns into a 2 vs 1 too quickly usually
we'd need a 4th player

[Plux]

I'm interested in a four player game

[Moff Jerjerrod]

Cool!

Ok I would be up for a 1v1v1 or even a 1v1v1v1 game. 2v1 and 2v2 would be cool too.

So we've got Plux, Lt. Killer M, and blackwizard. we could play on [u]&lt;</u>standard map for a 4 player game.

[anarres]

I think for just 4 players a small map is best with no AI. That way it won't last forever...

[Plux]

Without AI's I would prefer a small or even tiny map in order to ensure early contacts and conflicts [whipped][soldier][tank]

[Lt. Killer M]

same here

[Moff Jerjerrod]

Great! Would everyone who's interested agree on a tiny map? I'm assuming that pangea is what everyone would want? No AI.

I'm on East Coast time which is GMT -5. So if it's 13:00 in London it's 08:00 on the USA east coast.


Do we have all who are interested?

[blackwizzard]

yes we can start . i prefer rome , germany or usa as civilization.
my email adress is thomashanswg@aol.com

[Moff Jerjerrod]

Ok,

blackwizard is in - rome, germany, or usa

Moff Jerjerrod - don't have a preference but I'll take either celts or arabs

my email is stepan@msn.com

any other members wish to join?

[Lt. Killer M]

I'd take Babylon

[Moff Jerjerrod]

Great 3 players so far.

Both of you are from Germany? That means that it is now 16:15hr there. I will be home from work at 0.00hr your time. Then I will email everyone the game once we know how many we have.

[Lt. Killer M]

17:20 now... summer time has ended.

[Moff Jerjerrod]

Thanks for pointing that out. Then I'll be home at 01:00 your time.

[Plux]

I'll have the Aztecs, thank you :)

[Moff Jerjerrod]

It's final. We have everyone.

Tiny map, pangea, medium aged world, no ai.

blackwizzard - rome
Lt. Killer M - babylon
Plux - aztecs
Moff Jerjerrod - celts

I'll email everyone the game when I get home.

[anarres]

You should post a map request in the map making forum here. A map maker will create a relatively balanced map, it can ruin a game if somone gets a terrible start...

[Moff Jerjerrod]

Good point anarres.

I'd like to get started soon but if everyone is willing to wait I will make a request.

BTW I am a monarch level player so I hope that we can all still play together. Sorry I forgot to mention that in the begining.

[Plux]

That's no problem, Killer is Chieftain level and I am Sid, so that should make for a balanced game ;). Where I can be reached:

A map request is a good idea

[Lt. Killer M]

Moff: no AI means that all the level shit goes down the drain. No research gambles, no weird AI advantages etc....

I'd be glad if I could beat Cheiftain, yesterday, I wanted to try a scenario with OCC and the Atzecs JW rushed me.... as the JWs easily beat my warriors (I was the Vikings and had beelined to Lit) you can imagine.....

Oh great I didn't know that level doesn't matter when there is no Ai civs. I look forward to playing against you all when a fair map becomes available. This should be great! :D

well, it DOES matter whether you have two or one content citizen and so on, but if we are all the smae, we are all the same in tech cost etc....

[Grille]

well, I'm not into MP games yet, but chieftain allows to run a deficit w/o penalty in SP, so...

[Moff Jerjerrod]

Ok, Skyfish was kind enough to submit a tiny map for a 4 player Pbem. Blackwizzard you're up first I assume as Skyfish has made you player 1.
