Looking for serious PBEM

akots · 06-04-2004, 03:51

Well, nothing too serious. Just looking for PBEM games with one or several strong opponents to beat me up and teach the art of PBEM. Map size preferably tiny, small or standard at DG difficulty and up, C3C 1.15beta or 1.22 (both are OK). Conquest scenarios, cagematch, brutal variants are all OK. Prefer to play militaristic civilizations. It makes the opponents feel uncomfortable from the start.

I'm game, but not before middle of April (away until then).

/me in!

Pick your civ Akots, and your preferred map specs.

Oh, and what difficulty level you want too. Just in case you don't know you can only have 8 civs in PBEM's, so we tend to play standard size maps, with 6 AI's.

We have map makers who will also balance maps, otherwise you can win or lose at the roll of the RNG. I would very much prefer thsi to an RNG-created one.

Thanks for the offer. It would be of interest to play a small map, Pangea-type OK. Deity, other settings normal (no barbarians). Preferably food bonus and river on start but probably we survive without it. Always wanted to try Japan, never had a chance. One twist though: maximal AI aggression. Should be able to survive that IMO. If that is OK, we can ask for a map and start right away on April 16th.

You are a very strong player and it would be difficult for me to take over your AI conquest rate. Can you play without the AI? I have never tried that. Just two humans? Tiny Pangea map? No barbarians either. I'm sure to learn a couple of tricks before losing...

Hmm. 8 civs on maximum agression on a small map is just too agressive for me! I like hard games, but I also like to build an ampire before the AI come and eat me up.

How about either 6 AI's max agression on a standard size map, OR 4 AI's max agression on a small map?

Since this is gonna be painful I want the Iroquois.
