Hello all, I'm new and only just got to be a senior patronising person, so have immediately raced over here because I REALLY want to start a PBEM campaign of my own, but am a little unsure of the logistics of it.
How do you actually transfer the save game between people? I see them all referring to uploading to the org and downloading again, how does that work?
Do we all have to have the exact same version? I've seen alot of people's kings still dying at 56, when with viking expansion this no longer happens to me in SP. How does this affect the save games, as I found my old none-viking ones to be useless with the expansion.
How does posting screen shots of battles work? I assume you do a screen capture to get them in the first place, but I'm unsure of how to bung them in with a post.
Can people with mods still play? I have none, but it seems lots of people have one or two at least, and I don't know if save games are transferable.
Are there any set rules, other than those set by the initiator of the PBEM campaign?
I like the kings lifetime each way of playing, but can it be changed to a set amount of years to ensure certain people get a certain event, or those who succeed the throne at a late age get a chance to play more than a few years.
Do many of these actually go all the way through to the end, or to total domination? If no thats fine, but I've not seen many that have made it all the way.
Is there anything else I should know? For reference I am an avid SP player, and while I could Multi I rarely do. I'm running medieval, and patched it before getting viking, maybe thats why the 56yr old bug doesn;t affect me, but I have viking expansion installed and run off that disk.
