New game - willing to host

[JanSorensen]

My view:
Econ Manipulation disabled
Privateers disabled
 
PBEM quick combat disabled (it may take longer but I prefer the fun of making battle decisions as the defender also)
FoW disabled (I admit not being certain exactly what FoW entails in this game but I like playing with full information in particular because I not experienced with EiANW and hence want to learn)
 
The rest I agree with.

My opion is:

Leader Casualities disable (I once played a game where Charles died in 1806
Econ manipulation enable (very hard to play Turkey and England in peace, when they need money and manpower)
Pidding Cap on, 30 is fine

One suggestion to whomever is hosting this game. Make backups for each country at the end of each month. When the Bugs creep up be ready to jump to a point where the game was working. I am in 3 PBEM games that are on hold because of bugs and one we went through 10 backups in 3 months. Just FYI

[MitchLedford]

thank you for the heads up, timewalker03.... does everyone need to back up or just the host?

Assuming this game is going to get off the ground, we need one more player. One just dropped out.

There should certainly be a max bid, my point is that if the max is 30 and you use economic manipulation, then a very good bid for France that several people are likely to make is 30, resulting in France being chosen randomly. I am not criticizing the limit so much as the econonic manipulation option.

Also, I am new to the PBEM version, so perhaps it isn't as easy to stay in the dominant zone the whole game as France as it is in the board game.

Mitch, I tend to agree. I don't think 30 is a very high bid for France, in fact, back in the day I would be pretty happy getting France or GB with a 30. We used to play with a max bid of 40, which I think is more reasonable because we also always played with Econ Manip.

We do need one more player.

Hi guys

I bought this game when it 1st came and after reading about the bugs in the forum it seem that this game falls well behind whats needed to make it a enjoyable and playable expierence. I have decide its best to drop out of this game and try my luck in another 6 months time and hope it has improved.

Sorry for this

[vicberg]

Mitch,

You might want to post a separate thread that we need two more players, now that another one has dropped out. I don't think many people are going to wade through all these threads to find out we need more players.

[borner]

what rules are you playing  with regarding GB/French surrender?

[Pup8]

I see you still need one.  I'll play.
I've played many PBEM games, but this will be my 1st EIA PBEM.

I am not sure if they do or not, I posted here a few days ago and no reply.
