1x1 for a new guy

grahamiam · 15-10-2004, 18:44

hi,
i'm looking to start playing pbem's and this is the place for that

as this is my 1st one, i'll probably need a little hand-holding in the beginning as i cut my teeth on this. i got half a brain so it shouldn't be too painful. however, i'm not even sure on the standard rules used here so any references would be great.

i'm looking to start the game early Nov, which, hopefully, will be enough time for someone to take up my offer.

level: emperor prefered (being the 1st pbem, i don't want the AI to be influential at all) but will do +/- 1 level if desired. i've beaten diety solo on vanilla, PTW, and C3C. sid experience has been limited and humiliating.

C3C 1.22f preferred
map: continents
size: small but max land (60% ocean)
age: 5 billion
opponents: max for map size
barbs off
SGL's off
i would like to play as the arabs as I haven't played them recently.

any takers out there?

btw, i will be away from Oct 24th thru Oct 31st

so, hopefully, someone can pick me up before then and we can get the process with the map rolling.

cheers [insert alcoholic smilie here]

Nice to have you around, and wellcome! I might be interested. But I'm sure there would be many others eager to play.

hey, now you have two offers - tough I have little time lately. I can play a few non-important turns on most days, but all that requires thinking is limited by work to mx 1 turn a day. That fine with you?

hey, 2 quick answers!

actually, i'm on the East Coast USA so if your in Europe, probably 1/day is the fastest we could do

and i wouldn't mind a relaxed pace. however, if your too stuffed, i certainly understand as i'm that way atm (hence the early Nov. start date)

Lt. Killer M · 15-10-2004, 19:23

well, then let's request a map!

how about this: standart, 4 AI, map maker chooses map settings. barbs off or medium level (the latter if one of us takes an expansionist civ).

I would like to play the same civ as you - e.g. both as Maya? Or both as Germans?

make a suggestion

ok, sounds good, prepare to kick my ass, haha. my suggestion is the arabs as i haven't played them in a while and i really enjoy thier cheap UU.

any special rules or exploits disallowed?

edit: barbs off as per the list above

Lt. Killer M · 15-10-2004, 20:02

I'd say we stick to the usual list of exploits: CFC GOTM rules?
max 1 MA vs humans per 20 turns, no teleporting units, anything else?

ok, simple enough. i'd also like to disallow RoP rape if that's fine.

Lt. Killer M · 15-10-2004, 20:14

well, no problem there! ROP rape is an exploit by any definition anyways. But I reserve myself the right to attack an AI during ROP as they do attack during ROPs - not with a stack next to each city but normally across the border!

grahamiam · 15-10-2004, 20:20

yep, that's fine. ship chaining also disallowed here? btw, RoP Rape is not a disallowed gotm exploit so i just wanted to be clear. they allow some very nasty shit/abuse to go on in those games.
