Looking for PBEM opponent

[Tac2i]

I'd rate myself an experienced intermediate.

Game 2
- Keunert
- Webizen
- Madlock
- Hadley

If everyone will PM me their email address we will get this game started. We'll have a short discussion about whether to use a mod and game parameters first.

[waichou]

I don't know for the game 2, but no news for the game 1... If it's the same for you, maybe we could merge and play with the four players who are motivated. I am still ready if there is someone !

[Keunert]

pm'ed webizen my mail address

[Tac2i]

I now have everyone's email address so will get this game started soon. Three of us have indicated an acceptance of using the Resource Mod. Three of you have indicated you are basically beginners, at least to multi-player games. Two are in Europe and two in America.

I'm inclined not use the resource mod, since other than myself, everyone is playing their first multi-player game [may reconsider this option].

House Rules
1) No declaration of war allowed until turn 3
2) No backstabbing your ally. Victory will be a team victory.

Game Setup Parameters
Stone Age
I'll set the rest of the parameters later.

Teams
For this game we will use pre-set teams:
Webizen (intermediate) and Madlok (beginner)
Hadley (beginner++) and Keunert (intermediate)

I'll setup a Dropbox folder for save game files. Its use is optional but it a good method and doesn't require emailing the file.

[Keunert]

i played quite a bit of advanced tactics pbem and recently a lot of DC Warsaw to Paris.
but i played almost no games against the ai.

this will be my fifth advanced tactics gold pbem.
i've got dropbox too, would be great to use it.

so this will be a team game? an evensteven sort of game without exploring and equal ressources?

thanks for setting this up.

I'm still motivated and willing to play, and as I started this threath shouldn't I at east get a spot

[Strategiusz]

Dropbox is OK, I can't wait to play.

[Tac2i]

I know that the other players in this thread (Iron Knight, Nego, and waichou) want to play. One of you needs to take the initiative and get it setup and running.

[jagular]

OK:
Iron Knight, Nego and Waichou. Let's get this started.
I would love to take the initiative I'm too new to this game to set up a 4-player well balanced game.
Any of you could do this?

[Strategiusz]

So our game has started? I have read mails, I have the directory WHMK, but only one file .dropbox inside.

[Iron Knight]

Howdy, if those in my bracket would PM me your email addresses I will have this game rolling as soon as I get them. [:)]

[waichou]

Game 1 :

No pb if you want to create the game, we just have to choose the options. I am ready when you want !! [:)]

[jagular]

Address sent

[Iron Knight]

Just waiting on Nego. The only starting option I'm not a big fan of is one city start, but other than that I'm game for anything.

I'd also suggest Roy's 3 turn peace rule (well atleast 3 turns).

Most games I've played are:

Map Loop
Full Range Climate
Dry

[waichou]

Ok for me.
Do you use Ressource Mod ? I am ok if you want (never did before), but there is a rule which seems complicated for me, maybe we can switch off this one ?

I hope Nego will answer soon ! [&o]

[Iron Knight]

I would prefere not to use the reasource mod. I think it can make bad situations worse in random games.

Still no word from Nego.

[waichou]

Ok. If we don't find a player today, maybe we should start a 3 players game ?

[Iron Knight]

I'm game. Jagular?

[Tac2i]

If you still need a fourth player, count me in.

[jagular]

So let's start!
