Small Game

jshelr · February 16, 2004, 14:03

I would like to start a couple of small games with 2 or 3 players to get fast turnaround. I'm thinking all random, maybe monarch level AI. Anyone interested in trying this?

jshelr · February 16, 2004, 19:26

shameless bump

Fatwreck · February 17, 2004, 04:14

I would be very intrested in a four player game

, with three players it feels like two would gang up on the other one

jshelr · February 17, 2004, 08:54

ok, we will wait a bit to see if the ending of holiday weekend wakes up some interest.

Hi Jshelr,

are you talking C3c?

what are you operating hours?

how many turns would you like to play a night?

how many AI civs?

thanks

jshelr · February 17, 2004, 14:22

I'm interested in a 4 person game or a couple of 2-person games. I putter with the game while at work so it's from 7.30am to evening NY time. C3C preferred. Experience suggests that these games take a long time so a standard map with 6 AI would be plenty of size for me. What level of difficulty would interest you?

lmtoops · February 17, 2004, 18:30

I would be interested. I don't get to play much during the weekend (Friday evening to Sunday afternoon), but that is usually no problem. I play consistently Sunday evening to Friday noon (Central Std. Time).

I prefer C3C. I think 6 AIs are a bit much. I would think a 4-person game with 4 AIs would be good. Monarch level sounds good.

jshelr · February 18, 2004, 08:48

Ok, we have four here in the small game thread. I'll email you three and propose starting with Imtoops setting. Let's post time zones so we can get an good order of play.

This would be c3c 1.15 patch which is at http://www.firaxis.com/downloads_allfiles.cfm

How about the 4 AI being Egypt, Persia, Rome, Iroquois. Everything else totally random.

Ok,

I am in Australia... that is GMT + 11

I would like to be Mayan

I like AI set at Monarch

Join ya all for a jug

oh yeah, I love a drink,,,,

edit: you can email me on paddythescot at hotmail dot com

lmtoops · February 18, 2004, 09:32

OK, I guess the civ choice is random, also....which is fine with me.

The first letter in my nick is a "small L". I know it looks like a capital I, but what can I do. My email is the same:

lmtoops at yahoo dot com

jshelr · February 18, 2004, 09:57

Haven't heard from the dour Swede yet, but it looks like

Fatwreck
jshelr
lmtoops
PaddytheScot

Will be a decent order. I often can play a turn early in the day and lmtroops is an hour west. I'll take a chance and start the game by sending to lmtoops. (lmtoops, Since Australia is one of the few countries still on speaking terms with Americans, maybe we should give him the Maya.)

Hope this goes well. If you truly, really, hate the start, send me a picture and we can restart. PBEM takes a big committment and we want everyone treated fairly.

For some reason the game didn't pick up my name and I'm "player."

Here's turn one to be sent to lmtoops. From there to Australia, Europe, and back to jshelr.

Good game all. Behave yourselves well and stick it out for the long haul.

Settings were all random, standard size, monarch. The 1.15 patch link is above.

Fatwreck · February 18, 2004, 12:01

I´m still in, Viktor DOT Larsson AT Linuxmail DOT org

let´s hope for a good game

lmtoops · February 18, 2004, 17:42

I'll play when I get home in about 3 hrs.

lmtoops · February 19, 2004, 00:01

Just played my turn, a few hrs later than I promised. The start is good, so I vote to stick with this start.

I will forward to Paddy in a few minutes.

It didn't arrive. I'll email Fw. Maybe a resend or posted file would do the trick.

Fatwreck · February 19, 2004, 09:14

resent

I´ll post the save here to

edit: I have not recieved your mail either

jshelr · February 19, 2004, 09:51

Thanks very much. I'm sure we will figure out what's going on in due course.

Fatwreck · February 19, 2004, 10:17

I take it you didn´t recieve my second mail neither?

jshelr · February 19, 2004, 11:07

That is correct. Maybe our systems think we are spam.

Fatwreck · February 19, 2004, 12:01

that´s weird, usually when mails doe´sn´t reach it´s destination you get them back, but both mails I sent seemed to be alright...

jshelr · February 19, 2004, 12:21

I sent Fw an email from my work email address that might help sort things out.

Fatwreck · February 19, 2004, 12:39

Nice, I got that one

lmtoops · February 19, 2004, 14:51

The save is back to me, so everyone must be satisfied with their starting position.

I'll play later, today.

jshelr · February 19, 2004, 15:08

Yes, lmtoops is correct to commend the group for lack of whining!!

I hereby pledge to defend my starting spot down to the last unit. Nothing is less fun than to play well and then have your victim quit.

lmtoops · February 19, 2004, 22:53

Turn played and sent to Paddy

Paddy · February 20, 2004, 01:09

Thanks Lmtoops

Fatwreck · February 20, 2004, 05:00
