PBEM

[CeltiCid]

ill play Russia, not ottoman please. thanks

[Mus]

I would be interested in trying PBEM.  I have never done it before and would take Ottomans off the AIs hands.

As other players mentioned they had busy schedules I do as well but would love to try PBEM and being new I shouldnt disrupt the dynamic of the game too much by playing the "sick man of Europe."

We need the e-mail for the last 2 and still need to be sure they want to play this.

I'd really rather play 12 years... If you guys really want 1000 Glory that's ok with me...

I'd really want to hear everyone on this!

[CeltiCid]

anything will be ok with me, but i dont want a long game. Just want to test the game on mp. I have only played some turns on single, so im a noob. Dont want a infinite game ;)

[Matto]

If we will play "good", than should be hard for anybody to have 1000 points ... so do not worry, 1000 points is fine for short as for long game ...

So 1803 scenario (never played it before, cool !), Advanced Economy (is harder for noobs, on the other side, without tactical battles is simple economy in PBEM games too easy ...)

So we need last two emails ... than must British player set up game ...

[Matto]

Oops, not British, France player must set up a game ... sorry for mistake

OK, I'll check out how to do that in the manual. Someone email me when we are ready to start.
P.S. Be gentle with me, I'm a noob too and I've just seen the size of the French fleet!

[timurlain]

Ok. Prussia sounds good. My email is tom@pajonk.cz

Could we use glory penalties to make a bidding system?

You know, that wasn't the point of it but that's a really good idea. Wonder if that idea will take off.

Edit the first post on this threat and add there the list of players and their emails, so when this threat have 20 pages, we can find them easy.

HiHi
 
If you chaps need a reserve, I'll be downloading later today, but will be a comleeeet novice, never played CoG just FoF (Hi Celticid).
 
Just as a matter of interest can Nations be played by other folk if someone drops out during the game?
 
Anyhow powtwo@btinternet.com if you do end up needing another player.
 
All the Best
Peter

Well we might need you if our sweden doesn't show up

[Joram]

Sweden is a good one for new people but if you don't get a Sweden, it should not affect your ability to have a good PBEM session.

Hi Peter!
nice battles we fought
Welcome. I hope this time we can be allies [8|]

HiHi
 
Must admit after the thumping you gave me in FoF if I do get Sweden I shall have to mind my manners, being parked next to you as Russia and all
 
But ... fraid I made a cock-up with the payment, ticked the wrong box (Bank instead of paypal) so gonna phone DR in the morning see if I can cancel the order already in and pay by paypal, else I will have to wait on the Bank clearing the payment etc before I can download, bummer.
 
All the Best

I could play Sweden instead of Ottaman depending on whats better for the game if we want to start now rather than wait for whoever.

As far as bidding for nations based on a Glory penalty thats an interesting idea.  I mainly wanted to play a smaller power as my first PBEM game so if I make major mistakes I dont mess up the power dynamic of the entire game.  But in future games would be cool to make competitive bids for the larger powers.
 
This would seem like it might have a balancing effect on the game as more ambitious skillful players would be willing to bid high penalties for the more powerful states and then serve to keep each other in check.

Sweden here if you have not started... has attended a course away from home. Back home again. If you have started I am in for another game. Saw that another thread had been created.

Let me know.

We didnt start yet.  Be sure to put your email in the thread so we can get it going.
