Somehow I figured Beta would end up with Korea.

I think it should be a large pangea world new so that it spawns lots of hills and mountains.

And throw in the traditional wet and hot settings as they are the most supportive of successful civilizations.

Harovan · February 13, 2004, 19:33

I have all passwords now, but I'm off to bed. Try to sort out all civs and settings and your preferred turn order. I would appreciate to find all information gathered in one post. I will set up your game in the morning.

Rhothaerill · February 13, 2004, 19:38

Just so everyone knows, I will be gone the entire weekend, returning Monday evening. I will be able to start playing after that though.

Wittlich · February 13, 2004, 20:55

Oh sure Rhoth....since you go first, make us wait until Monday evening!

J/K, no problem Rhoth. Thanks for the heads-up.

Donegeal · February 13, 2004, 22:33

Just wait Wittlich... I leave for vaction on the 17th. Our first turn should get done in about a month...

GhengisFarb™ · February 13, 2004, 23:29

Right after donegeal gets back from vacation I am scheduled to demobilize and will be without a computer for a few weeks. Nice how we all coordinate this.

Wittlich · February 14, 2004, 00:17

Yep, this game should go like grease lighting!

Hot_Enamel · February 14, 2004, 01:26

I could choose Mongols .. just to annoy GF.

But I dont mind painting a big red target on myself saying "kill me first, I am China"

So..China I am.

Any settings will be fine.

CerberusIV · February 14, 2004, 06:59

I'm going to be away for a week in May - just about the time this game should get moving.

Harovan · February 14, 2004, 09:46

---

I will post the first save soon.

Harovan · February 14, 2004, 10:37

Here you go.

Remarks:
- Difficulty is Monarch, regardless what the game says (it has been set as player property and thus, can't change)
- The first turn (4050 BC) has been skipped. The turn limit has been set to 541 turns, so the game ends as always 2050 AD.
- Nobody has a truly horrible start (all jungle and/or hills), and nobody a very sweet (like five cows)
- No island starts
- Resource availability to the starting locations has neither been checked nor changed

Have fun. Email me on complaints.

I'll remember this Sir Ralph!

Mark my words, I WILL remember this!

Harovan · February 14, 2004, 11:58

Everyone has 5 cows within a certain radius. But this radius is larger than a city radius.

Seriously, between "truly horrible" and "very sweet" is enough room for nuances. Not all locations are equal. That wouldn't be civ. But all are playable.

GhengisFarb™ · February 14, 2004, 12:14

Just kidding.

Wittlich · February 14, 2004, 12:48

So now, I guess, we wait until Monday evening for Rhoth's return to get this puppy started.

Hot_Enamel · February 14, 2004, 18:49

I thought that this was to be the play order

I am suggesting the following play order:

CerberusIV
donegeal
Beta
GhengisFarb
Wittlich
Rhothaerill
Hot_Enamel

This is based on your time zone and expected play time and the tried and true east to west method. donegeal has been moved up because of his shift work. If we need changes, let me know.

The order that Sir Ralph used was the ranking to select your civ choice.

I guess it depends on everyones play time.
East -> West gives us the chance to get 1 turn/day

GhengisFarb™ · February 14, 2004, 19:55

Its been my experience that games set up by timezones are the SLOWEST of all my pbems. Don't know why, they just seem to be slow.

Harovan · February 14, 2004, 21:13

Nah, east to west is usually best. But since there's only one European in the game (CerberusIV) and the little time difference between North Americans hardly matters, it should be fine so.

Harovan · February 14, 2004, 21:16

By the way, that's why I asked for a summary

. If you want me to re-setup the game with your preferred turn order, just say so. No problem.

GhengisFarb™ · February 14, 2004, 21:27

Yes, resetup the game and I get five cows.

Does being an Australian count ?

I think thats the reason Beta had Cerb as first and me as last....(Is that right ????)

If its not too much trouble Sir Ralph, I think Cerb and I should follow each other.

And if you are going to change it for us, then you might as well redo the lot.

If you cant be fagged doing it.. then no real problems.
It wont bother me too much.
