Hellas PBEM - Page 5

Cyrion · April 22, 2002, 14:43

Not much happening, except that the city of Sicels happily joins the Corinthian Tyranny...

And the save:

winterfritz · April 23, 2002, 02:40

Thebes and her citizens trade and prosper. Our brave soldiers and sailors continue to explore the great unknown...

Case · April 24, 2002, 19:52

Spartan and Corinthian wise men have met to share the secrets of olympic competition, bronze cuirass, organised religion and potteries.

The ANZAC · April 24, 2002, 22:02

This is my last turn before I go away for 2 days, same with History.

Patient English · April 26, 2002, 11:47

I hope you are enjoying my scenario, guys.

I response to a question raised on page 4, you stop your units being moved by the AI if you press Ctrl-N at the end of your turn. Then save.

One think I would say about this scenario - it is OK in PBEM, lousy in SP (the AI is just too dumb, no matter how much help I gave it) but really shines in online MP. Because cities and units are few, turns fly by, especially before 600BC. With four or more players, it has a nice feel.

I would even suggest to players who were going to do a PBEM that they played the first 50 turns (up to around 650BC) online (should take 3-5 hours), then settled into PBEM when you had enough cities and units to make each turn interesting.

Anyway, have fun. Hope the Persians show up with the determination to make things interesting this time!

That's the thing I press CTRL N and it doesn't work

The ANZAC · May 1, 2002, 16:38

Cyrion- your go for Soundwave

Patient English · May 1, 2002, 17:09

ANZAC - you don't have a Mac, do you?

When you press Crtl-N, go into a city and see if you can move a fortified unit that you are sure has not tried to move that go. (Or a sentried one).

If you can still move it, I agree it doesn't seem to be working. Never seen THAT in Civ before! You DO have the MGE version of Civ??

The ANZAC · May 1, 2002, 17:13

Yeah I have MGE and after I hit the key I can't move units, but they seem to move.

I don't know...

Cyrion · May 2, 2002, 03:03

Oups, sorry guys: I forgot when it was Soundwave's turn...

But I'll play his turn (as well as mine

) tonight!!

BTW: remind me in History as well

Cyrion · May 2, 2002, 17:52

I played Soundwave turns as well, but it would be better if someone else could do it till he returns: I'll ask Darius!!

Not much to say about Corinth, except on the tech front:

1) Traded Civic Pride for Potteries with Thebes

2) Made a gift to Athens

Oh yeah, and Black Potteries was built in Corinth!!!

Case: you didn't give me what you should have...

And here is the save:

Really?

What did I give you?

Cyrion · May 7, 2002, 13:07

Sorry guys, but from tomorrow evening I won't have access to a computer till Monday evening next week!!

So, if my turn comes before, IF you really can't wait until I come back, just let the AI play it...

But of course I would prefer to play it myself as soon as I come back!!!

So, if you have to wait because of it, sorry... (well, actually I'm not THAT sorry, because I'm off to Scotland to taste a few whiskies and pints of bitter...

)

The ANZAC · May 14, 2002, 17:22

Winterfritz: your go.

The ANZAC · May 19, 2002, 12:22

*BUMP*

The ANZAC · May 20, 2002, 17:16

Winterfritz: it's your go.

Soundwave · May 22, 2002, 20:42

is this still going??

The ANZAC · May 22, 2002, 21:30

That's what I'm trying to do.

Wait did winterfritz leave all his PBEMS?

He's busy with school work

Soundwave · May 23, 2002, 03:44

well get another player?

sas, darius??

Case · May 23, 2002, 04:11

Soundwave, do you have to be so fu*king rude and impatient? 'Fritz is still active on the forum, and should be contacted before you unilaterally try to kick him out of the game

I just emailed him, so hopefully there'll be some movement soon

Cyrion · May 23, 2002, 09:03

Nice to see the Queenslanders taught you patience, Soundwave...

winterfritz · May 24, 2002, 08:02

As Case has said, I'm incredibly busy with school at the moment. So much so that sadly, I think I'll have to bow out of this PBEM; feel free to find a replacement player for Thebes.

Sorry about the wait, all. I did visit this thread earlier in the month but, seeing Cyrion's holiday announcement at the bottom, mistakenly thought this meant he'd play his turn when he got back. He'd actually played his turn about five days before and posted it above

My email notification for posts has also been acting a little strange lately.

The ANZAC · May 28, 2002, 21:26

So do we have a replacement? I really don't think we need to do that, the turns are REALLY short, Winterfritz. It's not that hard to play one turn say, once or twice a week.

Cyrion · May 29, 2002, 04:00

I agree with ANZAC: the turns are not really long, and I would prefer the game to go on with the original cast of players!!

So please play on Winterfritz!!

And now Soundwave is about to join again, is that correct??

The ANZAC · May 29, 2002, 17:10

I think he is working off some junky library computer. He should be up and running in a few days, hopefully.

The ANZAC · June 3, 2002, 13:44

Winterfritz? Are you going to play? Or not? I really don't want to have to get a replacement

Jacobite1688 · June 3, 2002, 14:27

I don't mean to turn these PBEM games into sccession games, but IF you can't find anybody...

I am here

I honestly am not offering to join every game I see, I looked at the ZWK WWII PBEM when they needed a player, but decided that game wasn't for me. I just think I would enjoy this one.

edit:spelling

The ANZAC · June 3, 2002, 14:41

Yeah, I understand Jacobite, if winterfritz doesn't want it you can have it.

Case · June 3, 2002, 18:53

I think that it's safe to say that Winterfriz doesn't want it

BTW, I emailed him yesterday about his AoW turn.
