Dictators II Pbem

Palaiologos · March 17, 2003, 14:41

As dictators II is out i would like to start a new PBEM.

The civs are:

Germans, Japanese, Americans, British, Eastern allies, Neutrals, Russians.

They are not in their turn order.I will complete that info on friday.

I warn all who are interested that i can only play my turn on weekends(and fridays). So this will not be a turn per day game.

I'd prefer for myself either the Germans or Japanese, but i am not against playing as other civs.

FiGu · March 17, 2003, 14:43

The Russians for me!!

curtsibling · March 17, 2003, 14:47

I prefer to go the Germans, but If anyone really wants to be them I will go the Brits or Eastern Allies!

Palaiologos · March 17, 2003, 14:57

Curt, you just signed as a player in your own game!

Can you post the turn sequence?

And BTW you did not have to include me in the credits.
Not that i mind though.It is just that i think my contribution was not worthy of a credit reference. My full name by the way is Pericles Dervisis.(for future credit references

)

Thanks for that.

I repeat that i will only be able to play my turns on fridays and weekends.

Palaiologos · March 17, 2003, 15:00

Actually i had set my eyes on the Germans too, but if interest is high i will take the Japs.

BTW curt, is there a special open PBEM version with all negotiations allowed?

If so post a link here if possible, thanks.

jim panse · March 17, 2003, 15:47

I would like to play as the US and smash Nazi Imperialsim (because I´m the Axis player in the other Dictator PBEM) .....

Cifer Almasy · March 17, 2003, 16:45

I would like to take the Third Reich or the US!

Pap1723 · March 17, 2003, 18:31

Damn, I'm the first one to post in the regular one that I want to be in this, then I am the last one to post here!

I would like the US, but I'll take whoever is left

Palaiologos · March 19, 2003, 11:30

Hmm.... way too much interest for the Germans i am afraid.

Anyway here is a selection i propose based primarily on player's priorities and then on post time.

Japs-Palaiologos
Germans-Cifer almasy
Americans-jim panse
Russians-Figu

Since Curt is willing to take the brits or eastern allies except the germans i have chosen to give the Germans to Cifer.

Now i would say that Pap gets the brits and curt the eastern allies.The neutrals of course will be controlled by the AI.

What do you say?

Palaiologos · March 19, 2003, 11:55

1.Germany:
2.Neutrals:AI
3.USA:Stephan
4.UK:
5.Eastern allies:
6.Soviets:FiGu
7.Japan:Pericles Dervisis

This is the turn sequence with the only players that will surely get their civ as they were the only ones expressing interest.

if everybody agrees to my proposal(post above) just say so and i will edit the list.

jim panse · March 19, 2003, 13:14

yeah

Cifer Almasy · March 19, 2003, 13:19

Of course I would be!

Palaiologos · March 21, 2003, 19:06

Of course civ selection based on post time would mean that Curt gets the brits and Pap the eastern allies.

Depends on what Curt and Pap want i suppose.

what do they say?

Pap1723 · March 21, 2003, 19:10

Curt's scenario, his call!

Cifer Almasy · March 22, 2003, 09:12

thats also my opinion! in the end i dont mind which civ is mine. lets just start - I think curt should have the first choose!

Palaiologos · March 22, 2003, 09:20

Yes, but we must wait for curt's answer.

I say we play it at Deity difficulty.(for the neutrals).

jim panse · March 23, 2003, 17:57

I agree with this. Curt should decide.

And I´ll take the US .....

Xenozod · March 23, 2003, 21:49

I'll take the Brits if no one else has.

Pericles, out of all of us, you deserve the most credit.

Nothing more to add.

Palaiologos · March 24, 2003, 18:30

Another player!

Xenozod, thank you for your kind words, but i am terribly sorry.It seems there are not any other civilizations left.

There are six players already:Me, FiGU, Pap, Curt, Jim, Cifer.
The neutral civ is not meant to be played.

But if curt doesn't answer soon you will get his place.

jim panse · March 27, 2003, 10:24

BUMP

Xenozod · March 28, 2003, 00:22

If I am included in the PBEM, then I must warn you that I, too, will only be able to play on weekends.

BUMP indeed.

I had sent a PM to Curt five days ago, and just sent him an e-mail.

If he does not answer by the end of the weekend Xenozod gets his place controlling either the Brits or the eastern allies to be decided in accordance with Pap.

Just to get things going i say Cifer posts his turn.

He is getting the Germans no matter what.

Turn sequence:

1.Germany:Cifer
2.Neutrals:AI
3.USA:Stephan
4.UK:
5.Eastern allies:
6.Soviets:FiGu
7.Japan:Me

jim panse · March 28, 2003, 17:58

Yeah, let´s start this one ....

Cifer Almasy · March 29, 2003, 10:40

ok... about the house rules and stuff... is there a list or something else?
What about diplomacy? which alliances and stuff are allowed?

And ... ehm... how do i have to start the game? in hotseat modus?

thanks, Cifer

Palaiologos · March 29, 2003, 12:41

Be sure you have the Microsoft gold edition(MGE) of civilization 2.

Sequence:

Select:

Multiplayer
Network Game
TCP/IP
Begin Scenario
Then choose the correct .scn file from your directory
Then choose the Deity level
Check Open game
Choose unlimited time
Network name -does not matter
Game name- does not matter
Start game
Choose your Civ
Your gender
Your name

When you save make sure at least one unit is still "blinking". Im other words one unit HAS to have movement left and is unfortified. Then press CTRL-N, that will end your turn and zero out any movement for any unit including the fortified ones. That prevents the AI from unfortifying and moving your units all over the place.

After CTRL-N save the turn, then post it here with a description of what you did that turn.

BTW, i advise against cheating.

curtsibling · March 29, 2003, 17:34

Sorry about the delay chaps!

If the UK is still open, I will take it, I deserve a 1st turn beating for keeping you all waiting!

curtsibling · March 29, 2003, 17:37

I agree with Preicles, no cheating!

I will be making a open version in the future, but this version will be OK, I think!

Palaiologos · March 29, 2003, 18:07

CIV LIST(FINAL and NON NEGOTIONABLE), based on player priorities and post time:

1.Germany:Cifer
2.Neutrals:AI
3.USA:Stephan
4.UK:Curt
5.Eastern allies:Pap
6.Soviets:FiGu
7.Japan:Me

Sorry Xenozod, it seems there are simply not enough places.

Lets get this game started!!

Cifer Almasy · March 30, 2003, 09:30

Thanks, I try to do my job as soon as possible!

And of course i won´t cheat! Whats a victory if you have cheated???

I am just afraid of doing somethiing what is called cheat though i didnt know it before...

I guess ship-chaines (?) and flight/ground unit - stacks are forbitten, aint they?
