Glory of War PBEM#2 Stab your Neighbor

GhengisFarb™ · June 14, 2003, 18:30

Just sent the save to UnOrthO.

Order of Play:
PERSIA (GhengisFarb) - Former Warmonger
MONGOLIA (UnOrthOdOx)
FRANCE (Hot_Enamel)
ARABIA (Panzer32)
AZTECS (Aggie)
CARTHAGE (Micaelis Rex)
GERMANY (MasterZen)
AMERICA (GodKing) - Honorary Warmonger

All UU's of Civs not chosen have the Golden Age trigger removed and have the Hidden Nationality ability and are available to all civs.

The default captured unit is the Captive and operates like a Worker but cannot be built, cannot join to a city, and has the All Terrain as Roads ability.

Since the Man Of War is now a Hidden Nationality unit available to everyone the Privateer was given the abilty to carry two units (this way your Hidden Nationality Berserkers can leap from your Hidden Nationality Privateer without anyone being the wiser).

There are four separate PBEMS, each player will play all four and forward them to the next player. Then the player will post their preferences in this thread by the following order:

1. First Choice
2. Second Choice
3. Third Choice
4. Fourth Choice

The Version with the lowest score will be the one we play.

GoW PBEM #1

This will be one crazy PBEM...

/me hopes he doesn't get Aggie as neighbor... those Jaguars...

GhengisFarb™ · June 15, 2003, 17:22

Apparently UnOrthO had a wild night last night and is still recovering............

Hot_Enamel · June 15, 2003, 21:58

What the hell did I sign up for ??!!??

Just to clarify ...

I can build any UU that is not already taken by another civ.
These UU's have hidden nationality .. so it is impossible to know who owns them.
And any units killed become slaves ?

Yep, you can still build your own unit. You get one Captive from each Worker/Captive you capture and two Captives from each Settler you capture.

Hot_Enamel · June 16, 2003, 01:17

So...

My warrior will upgrade to a swordsman only.
But I can also build Legionaires.

And both my Swordsmen & Legionaires upgrade to Medieval Infantry.

I'm not sure exactly how that will work since at certain points a unit would be upgradeable to multiple units.

/me wonders if Ghengis really playtested this enough...

It worked, I razed the Arabian civilization to dirt over and over again without any glitches.

Is the game working its way around? Noone has posted to say they've played and sent it.

I think UnOrthO still has it, it will take awhile to work around because you have four starts to play in round 1.

Starting with Round 2 it should go around quicker.

UnOrthOdOx · June 17, 2003, 07:13

Off to Hot Enamel

Rating the starts,

Well, none of them exactly jump out as a great start neither do any jump out as a horrible start, so, if I had to I would go

Just to clarify, Game number 3 is your first choice, and Game number 1 is the one you would least like to play?

Played and sent to Panzer

My Ranking

Game1 = 1st Best
Game2 = 2nd (Unfortunately, in this game, my French Scout seems to have grown feathers on the top of his head and keeps calling me Hiawatha !! ?? )
Game4 = 3rd
Game3 = 4th Last

I had good starts on all

UnOrthOdOx · June 17, 2003, 12:09

Yes, GF, that's how I meant it. But none of them are horrid starts or glamorous starts so it doesn't really matter.

Argh! I was afraid I might make a mistake, with eight people and the bad habit I have of using the wheel on my mouse it is real easy to shift choices accidentily.

You ranked it second however, does that mean you would be willing to play as the Iroquois? You would have all the characteristics of them but no GA inducing UU as your UU would be available to everyone (including yourself) as Hidden Nationality unit.

Game 2 is actually my best start...
But if I cant get a GA, then change its rank to last please.

You can get a GA from a Wonder you just wouldn't be able to trigger it with a Musketeer.

Hot_Enamel · June 17, 2003, 21:24

I dont plan on building many wonders

Change game 2 to least favourable for me.

Hot_Enamel · June 17, 2003, 21:26

GF, are you going to list your votes ?

Or wait until you see what everyone else wants so you can screw with our minds

Panzer32 · June 17, 2003, 22:19

I demand that Ghengis posts his preferences before I do

So the contest is really between 1,3,and 4?

Hot_Enamel · June 17, 2003, 23:16

If Game 2 wins, I will still play.

Aggie · June 18, 2003, 00:36

I don't care what anybody else votes. Just send me the game.

. Though I will keep HE's problem in mind if #2 is great but tied with another game for best.
Aggie

GhengisFarb™ · June 18, 2003, 06:50

I am waiting until Panzer32 votes, because I am afraid Hot_Enamel and Panzer32 will post their order based on whatever I DON'T want.

Apparently #2 is still in the running as Hot_Enamel had a good enough starting position to warrant playing the other civ and attempting to get a GA through a Wonder. (must've had a lot of cows)

We could also ditch #2 and make a #5 and send it around real quick so we would still have 4 correct options.

GF if you want to send a fifth game around that would be ok.
All are very playable
