War and Civilization 3 |
Hey all,
I've started a new game for BalanceMod v1.14, at the PBW site, this time for 10 players so it's more epic. War and Civ 2 is still in its early phase but I want more games! LOL, anyway, if you're interested read on...
---------------------------------------------------------------------
War and Civilization 3: Masters of Fate
PLEASE READ THESE RULES AND REGULATIONS:
1.) Hello, this is my 3rd War and Civilization game. Although the second game is still running and still in its early phase, I'm an impatient guy and I couldn't find any games I could join so I just started a new one. Also, I want it to be a bit more epic so I'm setting the players to 10. Please be patient as I won't start the game until there are 10 of us.
2.) Setup rules... Please follow the game settings I have placed here on the game description when creating your empire. I'll be strict on this and if your empire file doesn't match these settings, I'll reject it and you'll have to reupload another empire file.
3.) More setup rules... No similar shipsets, flags or race pics OK? If someone joined earlier than you and picked the ones you wanted then he has the right to them, you'll just have to choose another one. Again, no similar shipsets, race pics or flags please.
4.) Game rules... none really, other than roleplay. Roleplay is a REQUIREMENT.... if you call yourself an emperor/regent/warrior king/etc., then act like one. Strategize your way into achieving your personal goals any way you want.
5.) Please don't leave the game. If you're gonna take a vacation or something inform us ahead of time. If the players are willing we could suspend the game for a while, if not, then you should be willing to risk the AI running your empire for you. Don't leave the game just because you missed several turns. Unless someone completely vanishes or something I won't kick anyone. Just be ready to accept that the AI will probably screw up your brilliant plans while you're away.
6.) For questions, suggestions, email me at . Put "WaC3" somewhere in the message title.

Re: War and Civilization 3
I'm interested if there are still slots available.

Re: War and Civilization 3
This'll be my first PBW game...I can't wait for it to get started!

Re: War and Civilization 3
Aight, one more should work, I'm in! This will be my 3rd game and the others I'm in haven't even gotten halfway. PBW is like crack dammit (not speaking from experience), so much better than playing AI's.

Re: War and Civilization 3
Yes - I guess I can expect to see far fewer undefended colony ships trying to run through my heavily defended warp-points over and over and over...

Re: War and Civilization 3
Haha, that sounds like a double-edged sword, in a way. There aren't that many PBW games from what I can see - so you're limited by the participation of other players.
I have a question concerning combat though. I know that all the combat is simultaneous during these games but say I have a scenario where I have three ships attacking an enemy target from three different sectors...will all ships arrive at the target at the same time thus only fighting one battle together or will they arrive one at a time fighting 3 separate battles?
Do they all have to be the same distance away to arrive at the same time, or what?

Re: War and Civilization 3
@ Jade: I would expect to see all 4 ships in one battle, provided that their respective speed is sufficient to catch the targeted ship, since the turns should be executed simultaneously for all players. Haven't encountered such scenario yet though, so maybe someone else should confirm. By the way: did you use the "view all games" or just the "view open games" function on PBW? The former shows a mix of SEIV and SEV games, but you get to see all games in progress as well.
@ Crian: there isn't a single game in progress on PBW with more than 9 players, so it might be a bit difficult to get to the intended number. With your most recent changes to the game setup, I'm confident that 8 players is plenty.

Thanks for the tip, I did check out the "view all games" section and to my surprise there are quite a few on the go at the moment.
I'm also going to have to agree with you concerning the number of players we have as well; I just checked and we're back down to 7 players again. It seems like 8 seems to be the best we can hope for for this type of epic game. If we're dead set on having 10 maybe we can fill the last few slots with AI players, although I could see that slightly unbalancing things. Having a weak-minded AI neighbour would be considerable advantage.

Providing they are trying to intercept it during its movement I would say that it is almost certain there will be 3 separate battles. If it won't be destroyed in 2, of course.

Re: War and Civilization 3
I joined your game.
i havn't played BM much... so i might die right away 
Re: War and Civilization 3
Hi,

Re: War and Civilization 3
And I'd really like to join too... well you'd have 11 players, but it'd be even more epic, wouldn't it?
Re: War and Civilization 3
Hmm... for some reason, the PBW site doesn't send me a password via e-mail. Is it supposed to take a long time? I went to bed and woke up this morning and still nothing.
Re: War and Civilization 3
Nevermind, I finally got my account password, I think the e-mail client had crashed or something. I'm going to send my empire files later today (along with the e-mail concerning my planet type/atmosphere).




8 more slots!
Mr Geoff has joined the game!
Plenty of slots left... we're in no hurry. Come and join us.
