I am currently Civ3-less and will continue to be so until Thursday evening.

alexman · August 11, 2003, 15:01

Which Thursday?

Dominae · August 12, 2003, 00:52

Are people still interested in playing this game? I get the feeling (through diplomatic channels) that we're kind of trudging along here without enjoying ourselves. Either this or everyone is tired of communicating with Dominae of Carthage (who can, admittedly, be long-winded!).

I would be happy to continue along. However, it's clear to me that diplomacy will be very important in the next fifty or so turns (for Carthage, at least), and this can take a lot of work. I know a few of us have other Civ priorites right now, and PBEM games are low on the list.

I would like to hear how you guys feel about this.

I will as usual answer your diplomatic note, when I get the turn next time. It's a better decision making, if the game is on the screen.

alexman · August 13, 2003, 10:42

Whoever wants to stop the game, say it now. No hard feelings. Otherwise, Dominae, send the save.

You don't have to hold the game for a week to get responses. Perhaps people are avoiding to answer you on purpose, or they just feel that they want to settle things in-game, or they are just too busy. It's better for the game to keep it moving than to settle everything perfectly before sending your turn.

My failure to send earlier was a combination of being out in the country (no Civ3 but dialup) for a day here and there and waiting for diplomatic responses. Of course you're right that I should not hold up the turn just for my own benefit.

I'm glad we're continuing, this will prove to be an exciting (if not weird) game.

370AD to jshelr

jshelr · August 20, 2003, 10:47

1000 pardons all. this delay was due largely to the power blackout, or so i'm told by my company. I've sent both games to Dom and have set up a workaround to get at saves on my aol account.

410AD sent!

alexman · August 28, 2003, 21:26

410 sent several hours ago.
BTW, are we all on 1.27?

Dominae · August 29, 2003, 12:36

I am.

alexman · September 10, 2003, 12:40

I think somebody's unknowingly sitting on his turn here, because the other game's moving.

Dominae · September 10, 2003, 12:51

Last one I got from jshelr is 420AD...

jshelr · September 16, 2003, 10:45

I'm back home for a couple of days and just emailed Sir to ask for 430ad. I don't know what happened and thought sending 420ad to Dom earlier was the solution. Hopefully, we can pick up again. Russ

430 A.D. to DaveMcW

DaveMcW · September 17, 2003, 19:09

440AD to Sir Ralph.

By the way, are we still requiring that alliances be signed ingame?

alexman · September 17, 2003, 22:48

You're right, I forgot about that.

The pink musketeers will end their "peacekeeping mission" next turn and declare war and an alliance. Sorry!

Harovan · September 18, 2003, 15:25

Of course Dave is right.

Yo Hannibal

These new civs on the Eastern Continent may be demonstrating some bad habits you should ignore, IMO.

Mao

alexman · September 19, 2003, 16:33

440 AD sent to Egypt.

Dominae · September 19, 2003, 19:06

(Sheesh, I should check this thread more often.)

Mao, this screenshot is my first view of these "habits". Why are their expensive military units parading around on mountains and in jungles?

Do pink musketeers still run really fast (movement 2)?
