New EitB PBEM

[Brian Shanahan]

I've posted my Civ choice in my thread, do I need to confirm it here?

[naufragar]

Up to y'all. People who pick last might gain some tiny advantage watching others pick, but it probably doesn't matter. I'll read the threads for picks.

[Qgqqqqq]

Confirming mine.

Simming questions (all available from starting save and the much-maligned flying camera, so no extra details revealed):

- Map dimensions
- Number of land tiles
- Starting units

[Qgqqqqq]

Also, what's everyone's EitB folder called? So we can sync up. (Mine is my in-development file so I will change to match others.)

And a reminder, in the unlikely event we start in the next few days, that I will be unable to play turns this weekend. (I'd be happy for a spoiled worker to do so on my instructions, as I can make sure to provide them, but again I don't expect us to start by then.)

Mine is
Beyond the Sword\Mods\Erebus in the Balance v12.1

What game speed are we playing on, normal or quick?

[Qgqqqqq]

Quick. I would bow out of a FFH PBEM on Normal, even a late start.

Great minds think alike, mine's the same though on the mother's PC it's D:\Civ 4\Beyond the Sword\Mods\Erebus in the Balance v12.1, as I've the game copied onto a USB stick.

Edit: Definitely Quick. Normal's Ok for single player or for a succession game, but Quick for multi-player every day of the week.

The world is 40x24 tiles, 640 of which are land. I had planned to give everyone their civ's appropriate starting units, unless we want everyone to start with a pair of warriors?

A couple of the civs currently have contact with the others when they shouldn't. Working on fixing that.
