PBEM virgin seeks Vet. - GAME STARTED

hotrod0823 · 28-07-2003, 01:25

Looking for anyone willing to start a PBEM game on Emperor. Random civs and willing to play with Standard SG rules.

I have only been in 1 PBEM game with 4 others and it flopped horribly. I really want to make a game to the finish.

Thanks

Hotrod

What about me? Welcome to CDZ by the way!

welcome Hotrod, as a fellow first timer to real PBEM, I know how you feel. I'm no veteran, but I'll play if you want.

Aggie, Sure! Wasn't sure if your plate was too full but I would like to get my feet wet. How do you go about setting up the game? I can start any time before thursday but we have visitors coming and I am getting kicked out of the spare bedroom then.

Do you recommend getting a map made? I will be any civ and will play any map of standard size.

Welcome Hotrod. Nice to see you over here. I'm full up on PBEM's but once you and aggie sort out map details, I might make the map.

Aggie · 28-07-2003, 14:56

I think it's best that someone makes a map for us. We can ask it in this forum.

What about the following:

Difficulty: emperor or deity
Map: pangaea, standard size, rest random
Civs: random, but both with similar traits and similar UU's
AI civs: 6 of them, random

I found that a pangaea map where the humans don't start next to each other is a lot of fun. Continents tend to end with two humans that conquered their own island.
Also I think that deity in PBEM is a bit easier than a SP game. I figure that the reason for that is that you have another civ without the deity benefit and you tend to spend more time per turn. We could ask for a bit of room to expand for both. It's also possible to ask for two settlers for the humans on deity. Emperor is a level we can both easily beat. The AI will then only be cannon fodder.

Okay diety sounds fine. Pangaea with "equal" civs sounds good. If Nightfall can make the map and he can even pick the civs

. I don't care who I play but as long as they are on equal footing it should be good. NO need to have extra settlers ( I have a knack for getting free ones anyway :lol: ).

Aggie · 28-07-2003, 15:07

OK, I'll post a map request then

I'd like to extend a hearty welcome to Hotrod too and certainly want to play - if you haven't got your plate full yet

hotrod0823 · 28-07-2003, 18:15

I think I will see how my first game with Aggie goes then see if I want to take on more.

To all: Thanks for the welcome
