Hi all!

Geez, I finally get back and that very night Civfan is down.

Anyway, I'm glad to see you guys sorted out this mess. Congrats!

Not much to catch up on at Apolyton I suppose.

And one more thing: IF we start playing again before everybody is back, and someone uses the opportunity given by the lack of ottoman leadership to attack Turkey, they'll have to face Italy!!

Thanks!

I´m actually playing another Pre-WW1 PBEM in civfanatics, maybe you can take a look at Germany´s performance in that game, just to have a reference.

Yes, ehrm, I recommend everone take a look at that thread and bask in my glory. Won't be much "German performance" in 1915.

Sorry, but it's the first time I've had something to brag about here.

Au revoir!

Forgot to mention something. As many of you know, Scott is in a few other games here (or was, he said he is returning sometime soon). Looking at academia's figures it appears that he really was cheating, and I was wondering whether that should be brought up in his other games.

BTW that reminds me ANZAC, what happened to the Raging Dragon game? Did Apolyton just clear inactive threads too liberally or something? If so I'd still be willing to continue it by starting a new thread using the savegames that are still on our hard drives. Depends on what the others think though.

Scott said that he'd be back in a week, but that was 3 weeks ago...

I'll bump the Raging Dragon thread.

Soundwave ??

Cyrion · July 17, 2002, 02:34

I have seen no post from Soundwave in the 2-3 last weels and haven't seen him online!

I'll send him a mail, I want this game to go on!!

Jacobite1688 · July 19, 2002, 21:05

Well, can we play? We have come so far!

Cyrion · July 26, 2002, 04:39

Just mailed Soundwave!! I propose we wait till Monday and the try to find a sub if necessary!!

Jacobite1688 · July 26, 2002, 10:08

I agree! Let's play.

Soundwave · July 27, 2002, 05:32

Sorry guys i have been really busy and with my new job i work alot of over time and alot of time at the pub ! lol so if you want i can come back?

sas · July 27, 2002, 05:35

welcome back!!!!

Cyrion · July 27, 2002, 10:27

Welcome back Soundwave!!

Just leave the pub for a few minutes and play your turn!

BTW: and after you've played (and posted!) your turn, stay out of the pub for long enough to play you Hellas turn as well!!

The ANZAC · August 2, 2002, 09:26

OK is anything happening?

Darius871 · August 2, 2002, 11:33

It's starting to look like Soundwave's out, or if he is I kinda think he oughta be (no offense sean, but this is ridiculous). I say give him three more days and then find a new AH player. I volunteer if that would be all right, since I was playing them before.

The ANZAC · August 2, 2002, 12:56

Sounds fine

Jacobite1688 · August 2, 2002, 15:49

Lets get it going, I guess. I'm sorry to see Soundwave drop out

Darius871 · August 3, 2002, 01:11

All right I loaded the turn but academia didn't ctrl-n I think; a bunch of German units moved under the AI. Academia, do you want to repost it ctrl-n'ed or leave as-is considering there is peace anyway?

Civfan · August 3, 2002, 02:55

Is this game in need of a new player for Austria?
IF so I like to join.

thanks
Civfan

Darius871 · August 3, 2002, 03:12

Cool, now I get to keep the Turks!

You can start playing once academia reposts the turn.

academia · August 3, 2002, 20:28

The file:

Civfan · August 4, 2002, 02:49

A new emperor emerges in Austria Not much happend this turn. Abit of reorganizing of the frontiers.

For all nations. We wish to hold the balance of power and stability in Europe. All treaties and pacts made previously we still honour.

Good be with us

Long live Austria

Civfan...

Cyrion · August 5, 2002, 03:57

Welcome CivFan!!

I hope our relations will be as cordial as with your predecessors!!

And I'll play my turn tonight!

Cyrion · August 6, 2002, 03:40

Not much to comment on... Some freight delivered, some infrastructure built,...

And the save:

The ANZAC · August 6, 2002, 11:28

Nothing special as well

academia · August 6, 2002, 21:05

Guys, before going on with this game, i´d like to propose a ban on engineers.
You see, i came from the pre-ww1 history in civfanatics (like Darius) and we faced the following situation:
The capacity of engineers to build railroads + the use of cavalry, artillery + the unlimited movement; lead us to outstanding advances. For example: In one turn Russia conquered 3/4 of Germany, and in the following turn, 4/5 of France

After a couple of turns, Italy (using the same tactics) captured Moscow

Obviously, this is unrealistic. The first blow of any nation will be decisive.
So, i propose to cancel, eliminate the railway ability of the engineers.
Otherwise, this game will follow the same path...

Civfan · August 6, 2002, 21:49

how about change the rules.

in the IMperialism 1970 the railroads only have a movement of 6 movements. This could fix this problem of the railroads. Limit their free range.

Civfan

academia · August 6, 2002, 21:51

I like that. we should try it

Cyrion · August 7, 2002, 02:50

OK for limiting the movement of railway, but a BIG NO to suppressing Engineers: Italy is not as developed as some other countries, and I simply don't want to play a country that is condemned to stay that way...

Jacobite1688 · August 7, 2002, 09:39

No Engineers?

LEAPIN' LENIN ON A POGO STICK!

Russia will never agree to this. Limiting railroad movement perhaps, but I am not in favor of it. If I am alone in this matter I will consent to this alternative, however.

Ditto Russia.

academia · August 7, 2002, 10:24

Sorry guys, you missunderstood me. By "ban on engineers" i tried to say a ban in their ability to build railways

Anyway, Civfan´s proposal about limiting the movement should be the best option

Jacobite1688 · August 7, 2002, 11:14

Again, I'd rather not, but I'm not gonna fight you all if you guys want to do it. It seems resonable enough, but I just have a little more "space" then you all for my cities.
