O.K. Then I will organize it:

raven.nevermore@gmail.com

Send me an e-mail if you want in... I figure we can probably agree on a pretty basic rule set.

Large
Continents
All victory options
No AI
All Random Civs

Rest of everything else on default?

How does it sound?

O.K. for those not familiar with PBEM here is how it works.

I start a game, after my first turn it gives me a file that is saved to the PBEM directory that I e-mail on to the second player. He/She e-mails to the third... Finally the last player e-mails me one and turn 2 begins (Yes the first few turns will be REAL slow).

Now I recommend we start an order and go all random on the civ selection (to avoid any wrangling for certain civs). So how I think it would be best is I will keep track of who sends me e-mails first... and that will be our order I will edit this list to let everyone know the order, and I will use the e-mail to send you the e-mail address of the person you will always send to (until they are e-liminated)

SO:

Can't wait!!!

I have played as Washington, and found it by far the easiest victory I had on Prince level (haven't worked my way to Monarch yet).

Washington is the one leader who lets you expand rapidly without killing your tech development. The Org lets you grow quickly without falling too far behind, and the Fin lets you catch up quickly after your cottages start maturing.

The newest patch made the memory management much much worse. The game crashes after 40 minutes or so, unless I have a memory cleaner/manager in the background... =\

That's the first I've heard of it making it worse for anybody. It really improved my game's performance and kept it from dragging at a snail's pace in the late game and when I've been playing for more than two hours at a time.

Heh. this game almost made my wife have me commited. See I mutter under my breath alot to myself, or sometimes hum.

Well for about a week she couldn't quite make out wha I was saying. See I usually repeat things over and over to make sure I can remember them at a later date.

anyway, She Finally figured out I was mentioning something about a beebing pig, and when she asked me, I chuckled. I had that darn Sattelite and Steel thing going through my mind. "Beeb...Beeb...Beeb..." and "I've got pig Iron, I've got Pig Iron, I've got all the Pig Iron." She gave me the strangest smirk I ever saw in my life.

That's great. I love those Nimoy quotes. My girlfriend had a giggle fit (that's what I call it whenever she starts laughing and can't stop) when she first heard the Sputnik quote. I've been singing humming the music that plays during the setup menu.

I especially like the Al Gore pic for the Internet.

No doubt Guys. So many rememorable Things to see in this game.

The 3ds max tools for Civ 4 were released about a week ago (this is not the SDK; that's supposed to be released later). Unfortunately, absolutely zero documentation was included, so it's been really slow and frustrating learning how to work with them. It looks like some people are now starting to make some promising headway (or at least more than I am) on creating new units. I can't wait until I can learn how to use these tools to it's full potential.

Looks like there is going to be an expansion pack this summer, and Sid Meyer is redoing Railroad Tycoon and teaming up with Firefly (Stronghold) to do a Rome game.

Hmph, new scenarios and a new unit. I hope it's a little more than that.

One thing I know for sure. I'm going to pass on this expansion and wait until the inevitable third expansion comes out. And if the third expansion isn't a compilation like C3C was, then the second expansion will be what? 20 bucks?
