"The Long 19th Century" PBEM Game - Page 2

I never tried it as the Holy Roman Empire. Sounds like fun, so I'll take them. If someone else wants them, I'll go with France or Britain as alternates, but it really doesn't matter (As long as it's not the Berbers or the Ottomans

).

I'm in.

Chris 62 · March 25, 2001, 16:28

Alright, all we need now is HsFB, and to pick civs and we are ready to go!

[list=1][*]cpoulos=Holy Roman Empire[*]Exile=Ottoman Empire[*]Henrik=France[*]Hogfather=?[*]HsFB=?[/list=a] We also now have an extra slot open. Fiera, do you want in?

Finally dragged myself out. I'll take the Turks if no one else is interested. The Berbers shouldn't be played. The Commercial states are optional; if all the other civ are wanted by others, I'll take the Commercial States. If we can only get 5 players, though, we can leave out the CS.

Salutations,
Exile

Henrik · March 25, 2001, 17:15

I could play as France or England.

Exile · March 25, 2001, 17:20

Henrik, with France the chances are good you'll be at war from the very start of the game (or at least from turn 2, via an event). England will more likely have a period of initial peace. Which one is more appealing to you? HogF, which civ do you want?

Looking forward to Lepanto,
Exile

can someone send me a copy of this first please?

Chris 62 · March 25, 2001, 22:22

Hogfather, Jay Bee's site has this scenario. It is called "The modern Age". You can find it in the European area of the Spanish Civilization site.

I don't have CIV 2 MGE, so...

Fiera · March 26, 2001, 00:07

I'd be interested to join in if there's room for me. However, if HsFB finally finds the way to run the scn, I'll understand he was here first.

Exile,

"Looking forward to Lepanto"... Lol!

Sorry to hear that you can't play, HsFB. O.K., here's were we are:[list=1][*]cpoulos=Holy Roman Empire[*]Exile=Ottoman Empire[*]Henrik=France[*]Hogfather=Britain[*]Fiera=Spain[/list=a]We still need you guys to pick either Spain or Britain, so let us know and we can get underway!
Edit:If HsFB can still play, we will change things the way Exile said in his post.

HsFB, there are patches so that pre-MGE Civ2 programs can run MGE scenarios. Don't know where they are, but someone else might. If you still want to play, no problem; you can have the Turks and I'll take the spoilers--the Commercial States. It's not really fair for me to take a full-strength player postion anyway because I know the scenario so well.

About "Looking forward to Lepanto," well, with the AI, there can never be epic sea battles like the Armada or Lepanto because the stupid AI throws his naval units into the fight piecemeal, one-at-a-time, So huge fleets never really get the chance to happen. I don't really care whether I win or lose, it would just be a refreshing change to see a really BIG fleet (or 2) go at it.

Salutations,
Exile

Well considering that most civs will be human controlled you just migt get see some epic battles.

I think Hogfather (and HsFB if he still want to play) should pick a civ first, however I for one would find great to play as Spain and have HogF play as Britain... I guess he will like it too...

What do you say, Martín?

March 26, 2001, 12:27

Let me rule the waves then!

Rule Britannia!

Chris 62 · March 26, 2001, 14:25

Alright, we now have the players, so here is the turn order:[list=1][*]Commercial States=AI[*]Berbers=AI[*]Holy Roman Empire=cpoulos[*]Spain=Fiera[*]French=Henrik[*]English=Hogfather[*]Ottoman Empire=Exile[/list=a]Now we have to talk about difficulty level. The default is Prince. This is your scenario Exile, should we play at that level? I agree with it. Since the AI are only two tribes who most likly won't be around for long,

Why not? It's Monday now. If everybody agrees, I will start the game on wendsday. Remember to play your turn, but most of all, to have fun, because it's only a game.

Henrik · March 26, 2001, 14:57

Default difficulty is ok

Exile · March 26, 2001, 17:03

Default difficulty is ok with me, but if anyone else wanted to play at King, I wouldn't have a problem with that. There might be some initial city disorder at the start, but that's not a problem. Who starts?

Still looking forward to Lepanto,
Exile

Chris 62 · March 26, 2001, 17:54

As I said before, I will, because of the turn order.

I'm just waiting now to see if Hogfather and Fiera agree. If they post before 9PM EST, I'll start tonight.

------------------

March 26, 2001, 19:02

Go ahead an start!!!

Rule Britannia and will you all authorise me on ICQ...

Fiera · March 26, 2001, 20:37

Yes, everything sems fine to me as well... I guess you can start the game tonight, Chris!

Chris 62 · March 26, 2001, 23:33

The war has begun! The Holy Roman Emperor has sent the save to Spain(Juan

). Good luck everybody, and enjoy! HRH Charles (AKA Me!).
Edit: Don't forget to post here!

Don Juan de Austria (me) has played his turn and has already sent the saved game to Henrik.

I think we should probably open a new thread. After all, this was the Long 19th Century thread...

Henrik · March 27, 2001, 12:02

I sent the game to Hogfather, then I realized that you have an email address in your location field, I sent the mail to the one in your profile, was this wrong?
[This message has been edited by Henrik (edited March 27, 2001).]

Fiera · March 27, 2001, 12:24

Henrik, I think you'd better send it to Hogfather's Hotmail adress as well. I think that's the one he normally checks out.

March 27, 2001, 16:52

From now on, use the Hotmail address

Henrik · March 28, 2001, 01:11

Done!

Henrik · March 28, 2001, 10:02

I will

why not change the adress in your profile? It would take away future confusion...
