  • Can build max 2 warriors per city (workers/settlers) unlimited.
  • Can build workboats to improve tiles (no scouting). Other ships not allowed.
  • Warriors are allowed to attack also (this is mostly for avoiding the death to barbs).
  • Captured units can be kept but do not use them for fighting.
  • Religion units are allowed as missionaries but not as fighters.
  • Building Abashi is allowed.


Settings:
  • Map: ErebusContinent, EitB v11.

  [SPOILERS] Plako as Tebryn of Sheaim
Posted by: plako - July 12th, 2015, 07:31 - Forum: EitB PBEM XLIV - Replies (38)

All the games I've been playing seem to either very boring phase (PB18) or stalled/finished so I'd be eager to get this running.

I'm thinking to take a shot at civilization that hasn't won a single normal PBEM. Based on PBEM list I got these
* Sheaim
* Elohim
* Amurites
is this about right?

My gut feeling is that in the latest iteration Sheaim will have sufficient boosts to make it quite competitive. It will be slow to start, but has potential to be quite a powerhouse after KotE. One just needs to somehow solve how to get sufficient production base when it lands.

Elohim feels quite boring, but tolerant provides chances to make it pretty intresting assuming one is strong enough to capture cities.

I've played Amurites so that I'm not really intrested.

Might also consider some powerhouses like Kurios or CoE, but they'll probably be in last choices in my list.

  Casual dueling/SG (FFH/EitB)
Posted by: Aurorarcher - July 10th, 2015, 15:48 - Forum: Civilization General Discussion - Replies (26)

All the following is for FFH/EitB playing.

I'm little short on active games and I happened to read about Succession Games where the world was dominated peacefully with culture (I think that was the Balseraphs game). I think something similar with a crazy/silly/fun tactics for the win could be a fun game to play in group. I haven't yet figured what would be a fun idea for SG (this is where you can give your suggestion), but I'm just checking if there's even any interest to play one.

Another thing I'm looking a player for is casual dueling. Maybe play with some civs/leaders that are hardly ever used, or on some wild map, etc. or whatever we feel like a fun thing to do.

So who's in?

  Civ 4 Colonization PBEM?
Posted by: BRickAstley - July 9th, 2015, 12:43 - Forum: Civilization General Discussion - Replies (3)

Because I have it and it's so different it's fun and surely some other people have bought Civ 4 Complete at some point in time and since it's unplayed I might have a chance even though I'm bad.

  I need ideas of stuff to code!
Posted by: Cheater Hater - July 7th, 2015, 17:16 - Forum: Off Topic - Replies (27)

I got a degree in computer science a couple years ago, but I haven't had the chance to code anything in a while. My biggest problem is that I have no ideas, and the gap between "book problem/cooked example" and "something that is actually useful" is large. Does anyone have anything they would want to see me create?

Of course, I don't want to just let people loose on suggesting unrealistic things--keep in mind I'm only one person (unless someone wants to actively work with me), and thus if you want to be more likely to see results you probably want to start small. Also, my biggest hangup with designing useful stuff is general is art--if you want it to look halfway decently I'd recommend pointing me to some decent art resources at the very least.

If anyone has any questions, feel free to let me know!

I... REALLY want to love thins game. I mean, it is everything I've been wanting... But it's just...

Here... You can watch my first impressions, or just skip to the end where I give my conclusions after playing the game for a week.

I still believe in this game. It will become the game we've been waiting for. It's just not there yet.

Recruiting post:

I'm looking to start a new PBEM. FFH, EitB, BTS, Krill Mod / Other Krill Mod / I Can't Believe It's Not Krill Mod, Planetfall (lol), Dune Mod We Briefly Talked About Years Ago Without Actually Trying, whatever!


Variants are fine as well, don't really care. Doing another all-random game sounds fun. My only concern is that there be five players. No more, no less. Otherwise, whatever.



If you're interested in a PBEM of any variety, post below what you're up for. We can roll once we have five people agreed on any given type.

  Temp subs for BRick games: PB26 and PBEM69
Posted by: BRickAstley - June 24th, 2015, 08:03 - Forum: Civilization General Discussion - Replies (8)

I'm going to be out of town from Friday to Tuesday (26th to 30th), so i'll either need a sub for that length of time, or pauses since I probably won't be able to get to a computer near as reliably. It will affect both of my games, PB26 and PBEM 69. If anyone volunteers, I can give you an update of what's going on and general goals in either game.

  Sub Needed 7/2 - 7/5 [PB26]
Posted by: pindicator - June 23rd, 2015, 02:08 - Forum: Civilization General Discussion - Replies (1)

I am going to try and get my homework done early and backpack the Strawberry Mountain wilderness over the holiday weekend and I'd like to have a sub to play turns for me on July 2 through July 5. It's possible I may only need a sub on 7/3 and 7/4 depending on how the turn split ends up and what time we leave after work on 7/2. I'll have instructions in my thread for anybody that can do it.

Thanks in advance!
