Rise of Rome PBEM "Peaky Seas"
 

This is turn thread for PBEM played based on Rise of Rome scenario in C3C 1.22.

Players:
Rome - Dell19
Macedon - Beam (Formerly Jack Merchant)
Persia - Stapel
Carthage - ??? (At present Metalhead)

Egypt, Celts, Scyth, and Goth - AI

We are currently looking for a replacement player and if the replacement player is another CDZ poster then this will become the new active turn thread where battle reports are posted.

Metalhead has said he doesn't mind being replaced and after several occurances of delaying the game where there was a reason but this wasn't given until PMs were sent asking what had happened to the save. The new Carthagian player would take over after several turns with troops in Sicily but with the Romans owning the only city on the island.

The current rules forbid signing MAs or MPPs with the AI nations, no ship chaining, abandoning of capitals, unit jumping and possibly some others that I've forgotten. Hopefully someone will be willing to take other since Carthage are still in the game.

[bump]

Well, as things look now, We will continue this game in january WITH Metalhead.

Beam did you get the save?

We either all need to post in this thread or set up the other turn counter thread since at the moment I have no idea where the save is. I sent it again to Beam's new address yesterday.

I might very well have it. I will check tonight (and hopefully play).

Looks like me and Matrix will have a bit of action this turn.

I've asked Matrix to set up a turn tracker so that we can track the game from now on.

It appears I had played it, but not sent it....

Sent to Matrix.

I think that was the old turn. We should be on turn 20 or 250BC. I sent 255BC last which is after I had played turn 19.

I have not yet received a 255BC save from Beam.

Beam? I sent a PM a couple of days ago and the turn twice about 4 days ago.

Because I'm working in Paris the coming 2 months and have a lot of PBEMs going on I have to cut it a little. :( So I asked Dell today if he knew a replacement player for this game. Not planning to abandon other games as well, the Swimming Pool is the only other multi-human game I am in. Regular PBEMs will continue but slower.

I'm thinking of asking Rcoutme when I see him online as a possible replacement.

I will take the replacement slot. My email is Rcoutme at gmail dot com.

OK, I'll send you the sav together with an outline how the game has been moving. Thanks for taking this one!

Sav is send, enjoy!

Could you update the turn tracker, Matrix? Thanks

I played the game and sent it to Matt (Dell19) as I don't have any email addresses.

My e-mail addres is:

stapel AT civ3duelzone.com

Easy huh?

Could Carthage replay the turn unless both the Celts and Goths really did decide to offer an MA on the same turn.

You won't hear me complain about results, but leaving those units on a hill next to my city, was what I had been hoping for. there is only a 50% defense, making it 3. Attacking with 5 and then with 4 really pays out :)

Haven't read this before. But I did replay, as you know.

And at least now I have an excuse why I lost with Rome and seem to loose with Carthage. [rolleyes]

so?
explain please!

The turn that you played was uptodate :)

I know Dell. With "haven't read this before" I meant I didn't know you posted it at this forum. Not important.
The Celts and Goths are close to Rome, but not to Carthage. Rome has two fronts half the time, when alliances with the AI are allowed.

I asked Stapel and he was asking whether the file he had just played was up to date or whether he needed to replay. Its been an odd PBEM because the turn thread has moved forums and so far we have had 3 player changes.

Well, if there are MA's with AI's it's the wrong, isn't it? But I thought you especially waited to play until I replayed, since I signed MA's.

Yes since at the start of the PBEM we agreed to not sign those treaties unless the AI offered them.

Where is the save anyway?

Turntracker sais Rcoutme.

Where is he?

His email on MSN is rcoutme AT hotmail.com if you want to add him and ask him where the save is if you see him online. Feeling ill recently.

It might be that another e-mail better be used which is rcoutme at gmail.com and this may be indeed the reason for lost save. But MSN is indeed what Dell posted.

The turn tracker sends to the gmail address, just checked and resent.

the turn should be moving again

Got it!

I played and sent last weekend. I forgot to add I killed one Macedonian hoplite.

Anyone know where Stapel is lately?

Austria, or perhaps still in Munich

ok thanks :)

back!
