new pbem game

Shaka Naldur · May 6, 2001, 17:03

okay,

let´s try to make it right this time

I want to play just with three or four people (including myself) that are going to be available daily

I don´t care which scenario but I prefer one without planes..

the three first guys to post are the mans that I´m looking for

Shaka Naldur · May 6, 2001, 17:08

actually I don´t want to play Colonies 2 or 2194 days of War because I´m already playing them

Exile · May 6, 2001, 17:36

What've you got against planes?

Exile

Shaka Naldur · May 7, 2001, 16:50

they are harder to control

and I like more wars without them
I love WWII scenarios anyway.....

anybody wants to play??

any of the new guys at the apolyton pbem account??

Exile, do you want to play

JMarks · May 8, 2001, 19:43

I'm game, what scenario you want to play?

How about Hellas? I don't recall too many airplanes in that.

Grothgar · May 8, 2001, 20:37

Ill be available i hope although i am english so the time difference would be a problem but i dont sleep much so thats that problem solved. No planes hey hmm tricky one. Seize the crown would be a good one to play what with everyone trying to be nice to each other so they could trade and not lose money but at the same time trying to outdo each other so that when hostilities did come they would crush there opponents. so a suggestion there

I would be in for a game of Hellas

JMarks · May 9, 2001, 11:13

Hellas? Cool! I claim Athens! Assuming thats a scenario Naldur wants to play.

Henrik · May 9, 2001, 11:24

I want Corinth or Calchis! (Sparta is better but hey, I want a chalange

)

Patient English · May 9, 2001, 11:59

If the slot is still open, maybe I could play Chalcis. Alternatively, I could be a sort of referee and play the Persians. They are too strong for a human who was really trying to win, but I would stick to the historical script and give the Greeks a real good reason to hang together!

The plan would be to make it a better game for the Greek players, rather than for the Persians to "win", but I would love to see how the game pans out if the Persians do what they're supposed to. If it's encouraging, I would do a variant of Hellas for when the Persians are played by a human.

My limits are: I can't play before 21st May at the earliest (another PBEM game) and I can only play Monday to Friday, 18:00 - 02:00 GMT. If that's too limiting, I will understand.

JMarks · May 9, 2001, 13:28

So, lets get this thing rolling.
If you're playing, post your name, e-mail and tribe your playing in. Naldur, you still game?

JMarks-JMShrader@aol.com-Athens

Grothgar · May 9, 2001, 13:35

Grothgar-Grothgar_1999@yahoo.com-Athens

I assume we are playing on prince difficulty because thats the fairest for a pbem game. I can play from 18:00-3:00 GMT weekdays and i can play all saturday i think. So yeah i agree lets get this underway

Grothgar · May 9, 2001, 13:36

I meant Sparta lol. Bit confused

Henrik · May 9, 2001, 13:44

My email is:
Henrik.Lohmander@telia.com
As I said I want top play as Calchis or Corinth.

Shaka Naldur · May 9, 2001, 15:13

it´s hellas a build empire scenario??

I like build empire scenario but they are too slow for pbem game..

I´d rather play one with a lot of action but if all of you want to play that one....
which nation is left??
how many are we playing??

what about Peloponnesian war?? there is more action in the game but Athens should be a little modify

Shaka Naldur · May 9, 2001, 15:14

my email address is miguelsana@mixmail.com

is Athens left??

then I´ll play that one...

Grothgar · May 9, 2001, 17:35

I do believe Athens is taken and ill play this scenario but i agree with you Shak that i like a little bit more action which is why i recommend Seize the crown by John Ellis because you have a sizeable force at the start but hey guys any more suggestions and remember we are limited because someone doesnt like planes grr! lol

Grothgar · May 9, 2001, 18:27

I read you like ww2 games in which case i recomend "The Struggle For Europe" scenario and everyone should have it(?) as its amazing. So if anyone is game ill play TSFE one thing im the allies!

But that or sieze the crown are my best offers

JMarks · May 9, 2001, 19:42

If we're not doing Hellas, then I think I'm game for sieze the crown, only, where do I find it? Your descriptions sound great!

However, if any of you are still up for Hellas I'd still like to play. I love empire building games, especially ones with Greece.

Grothgar · May 9, 2001, 19:58

JMarks if you look through the Topics in this very same room then youll find a topic about Sieze The crown and that will lead to a link to download it. and it is a very hard scenario. but with 4 or so humans all co-operating it could be intresting because as soon as you develope a certain tech all the peeps go to war so you have to co-operate to succeed but also build up your forces for the "final confrontation"

Henrik · May 10, 2001, 00:42

The great thing about pbem is that everyone doesnt need to be online at the same time, I don't think that it is to limiting.

Patient English · May 10, 2001, 08:04

Seize the Crown! sounds good to me. (But then I AM slightly biased here...) I would like to take a family in the following order:

1) De Bohun
2) Bigod
3) De Lacy
4) Plantagenet
5) Neville
6) Scots

I think De Blois (King Stephen) should be left to the computer. Who is "leading" this scenario? For their info my email is netdesign@zoom.co.uk. Not many of you seem to use ICQ, but I am registered there - same nickname - if needed.

JMarks: You can also get the StC scenario from http://pages.zoom.co.uk/netdesign/scenarios.htm

By the way, you should not download the Colonies 3.12 beta you will see there. I found a small bug in it last night and will post a fixed copy by 24:00 GMT today (10th May 01)

I am also up for Hellas as well or instead, maybe with a slightly different group. Chalcis would be my choice there, or as I said earlier, a game-balancing sort of Persian. I see that most people like to play Athens, which is my favourite too, but Chalcis has some real Persian bashing fun, usually.

All I need now is a Bonaparte PBEM game, and I'll be simultaneously playing all my scenarios against various non-AI opponents. Magic.

JMarks · May 10, 2001, 08:25

Thanks, finally got Sieze. I'll await further instruction as to what happens next...

However, I do want to play Hellas, so all still interested, I'll start a new topic regarding it. I still get Athens!

Henrik · May 10, 2001, 10:30

Although I have hardly played Sieze the Crown yet I want inn too.
I will take the De Lacys (simple becouse I like the name

read: the Lazy

).

JMarks · May 10, 2001, 11:07

I'll take Bigod

Grothgar · May 10, 2001, 13:56

Ill take the neville family thanx

Shaka Naldur · May 11, 2001, 00:58

I´m up for a Bonaparte pbem game

we are playing a pbem game so we don´t have to wait for the Barbarians..

I´ll start a new thread about it...

JMarks · May 11, 2001, 23:35

Great, shall we give others a day or two to join before we start, or shall we begin now?
