I'm also not seeing any replay... I guess as long as you don't have naval battle or land battle it's fine... But I'd like to have them once the battles come!

Still we generate a .REP file... Never seem to use that... maybe it's the REPlay?

About Austria getting so much glory: I think that I just have alot of glory points from province control. Wich is a good and bad thing. I guess those are also worth -1 Glory if they gets stolen :)


IW: I don't think your in such a bad position if you move quickly with your armies (just my 2 cents) you got to hurry up in  making one of us surrender. Once you managed to make on of us surrender it's gona be way easier for you (ie: With your surrender points force us to accept to delacre alliance with you or force us to have a defence pact with you...) You want to keep hitting on us in turn... So by forcing enforcing peaces on us your gona do fine.

I believe the Russian army can give you pause tough... So be sure too strike where it's not. On top of that we are human players... We are extremely likely to surrender once you beated our army once... UNLESS our allies are really clause by.

(this beieng said: we are not like the AI and beating our army repeadedly is also a good way to make us surrender... I'd rather keep my army to fight another day!)

For the House Rule:
You don't have to conquer the capital first... It's just that if you don't conquer the capital all territory you take this way should be given back after the war (ie: let's say I conquer any other provinces but Modena from Italia minor. Then the next turn I conquer modena. I get to keep those provinces once the war is over.)  Exemple 2: Let's say I conquer any other province but MOdena (capital) of Italia minor. And I fail to conquer Modena until the end of the war. I give back that province after the war.


Is the rule clear?

Hey Franck,

Yeah believe me I would have liked to have moved more quickly, but my first couple turns had to be spent organizing and sending diplomats out to give me an idea of what's going on.

The house rule sounds ok I guess, I suppose I still don't understand the purpose of it. Not that I don't agree with it, just that I'm new and not sure I understand the effects of it.

I think the rep file is the reports from the previous turn.  I might be wrong.

My turn is also in.

HiHi
 
In Forge of Freedom, you get x2 files returned .sve & .rep, save both to your PBEM folder and then open from within the game.  If it doesn't automatically show you a replay then by clicking on the returned turns .rep file you get to see the replay, but on opening the CoG folder all I'm seeing is the merges file for the turn, maybe we just cant see the replay in Multi-player mode.

Didn't attack any of your ports IW - can't attack your fleet in Spanish territory as I'm not at war with them. Must have just been merchant / privateer encounters. The American fleet seems to have decided discretion is the better part of vlour though, after it was badly treated by one of my main battle fleets in the Atlantic.

Looking forward to the next turn.

Does the American fleet have SOLs or just a bunch of Frigates?  I dont believe we had SOLs during the war of 1812.

Do our 44 gun Frigates count as "super frigates" in the game?

I hate to say this, but it almost seems like we need to charge an "admission fee" for a PBEM club so that players take it more seriously if they have joined. And then at the end, the pot would be divided based on how well you have done (with everyone getting something, but the top player getting the most and then gradually less and less for each position).

Part of me has always wondered about this from a game theory point of view, as it seems to be the only real way to get game behavior to more closely approximate real types of behavior. However, I don't even know for sure if that is legal! :) And as such, this is certainly not a real or serious suggestion at the moment.

If not legal, it should be. I don't see how to promote real life behavior any other way, other than handing out babes in bikinis to winners.[:D]

HiHi

Personally I just hope Francks OK, as he set the game up, and prompted us all about the House rule I think his interest in the game was there, it may be that a Real life situation has put him out of action, ditto lenins question "has anyone emailed him?" if so please let us know.

Should Franck not be able/wish to continue then we at least have a replacement in the wings 'Anthropoid' has indicated elsewhere he's up for taking over in PBEM Multi games.

All the Best

Hi Guys,

I've been following this forum with interest and would like to participate if another player is needed. I was disappointed with the recent EiA computer game and have been following CoG:EE with much interest. I have been practicing CoG:EE for several days with a friend recently and would be willing to take over any abandoned roles.

I have been playing PBEM War in the Pacific for several years and am not one to abandon losing positions readily.

The Napoleonic period is my favorite period in history and I would look forward to participating.

I have played with Montesaurus before and I am impressed with his dependability and his committment to long term PBEM games.

HiHi

Montesaurus, hows about sticking your name on the 'Reserve list for Multi-player PBEM' thread, the more folk put their names forward the more it will encourage others to do so as well.

Put a note on the thread and I'll edit the orriginal so you go in 2nd place (slightly smaller role of Drums etc [:)] )

All the Best
Peter
