PBeM minimod updated for v1.2
Most of the .Org is asleep right now, but I'll just leave this here anyway for when I wake up :laugh4:
Here
ITT is my PBeM minimod for EB. It's as easy to set up as humanly possible, but some might have a question or two. Feel free to ask.
With that, this can serve as the first EB PBeM signup thread. Post if your interested. As a true praetorian, I claim the Romanii :clown: (if anyone is interested).
Enjoy.
Current List(11):
TruePraetorian - Romanii
The Celtic Viking - Arverni
Subotan - Baktria
Hax - AS
Sarkiss - KH
Mjolnir - Makedonia
SkullHeadhq - Ptolomies
WWFW - Punic Scum
justmyname - Epeiros
Cux47 - Pontos
Incitatus - Lusotannan

Re: PBeM minimod updated for v1.2
I am kind of interested, yeah. Hit me up with the Arverni.

Re: PBeM minimod updated for v1.2
So, you each choose a faction, then play a huge campaign? Kinda like a huge version of WotB and BtSH?
-
Re: PBeM minimod updated for v1.2
Yes, but only one person is playing a faction.
Gah, I wish that my computer could handle another EB! :shame:

Re: PBeM minimod updated for v1.2
Great to see some interest :laugh3:
Ok, first post will have factions and players listed. If anyone wants to suggest rules just post it. A definite rule is it will be on EBv1.2 with RTW.exe.
I would suggest we use City Mod 5.1a, but that is just IMO. I also think it is a MUST to add the force diplomacy minimod...without it the game wouldn't be possible.
Other then that I'm all ears :smug:
EDIT:AND IF YOU HAVE TROUBLE SETTING IT UP JUST ASK!!

Was it difficult? I mean, were my instructions pretty clear cut?
I know it might be tricky for some of the inexperienced, but it was impossible for me to set up a "one install minimod" since there are some 400 combonations for choosing factions.

Re: PBeM minimod updated for v1.2
Oh no, I meant for Vanilla EB. My bad ^_^`
I'll set it up later (German Homework beckons), but the instructions look clear.

Haha ok, as long as they look good. Have fun with the homework ~;)

Re: PBeM minimod updated for v1.2
I am pretty damn impressed that you have managed to hack this into the game but at the same time I feel it's not gonna be too practical. If you've got to send your turn by email, every turn, the game is going to take a very long time. I'm sure someone is gonna be happy to have the option though, so good work.

You should check out the Throne Room and all those M2TW PBeM's.
Yes, it takes them a lot of time but this here allows you to play EB against other humans and I think it's .. well .. fantastic! :beam:

Arche Seleukeia, if possible ^_^

Like Ibn-Khaldun said, I am not the creator of PBeM's..far from it. They have been played in the Throne Room ever since Myrrdraal completed the generator. So, as far as lack of appeal, im not worried about it ~;) Besides, humans are much more fun to play with. With hardcoded computers, it's kind of hard to have logical opponents.

EDIT: BTW, as mentioned by Subotan, I looked up the EB1.2 minimod pack. Going over them I think that they are all great improvements...so I installed them :guilty: They just looked so good. So, I can re-install no problem, but I highly suggest we use the minimod pack, they city mod for the pack, and the phalanx mod for the pack. Up to the majority though.

Re: PBeM minimod updated for v1.2
:wall: I forgot to ask, how many players does everyone wish to start with? We can always add more as the game progresses.

Oh be quiet, you little Satrap. You don't want my Argyraspides to march from Ekbatana to quell your little uprising, eh?

Re: PBeM minimod updated for v1.2
Hayastan for me, please:applause:
EDIT: i think this mini mod compilation looks the best atm -
https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showthread.php?t=105242
as long as every major region gets at least 1 player we can fire it up imo. no rush though, maybe giving it a couple of weeks to gather more players?

Yeah. I'd very much like to see someone snag Carthage or some other western faction. If it's only me and TP there I would feel much too lonely. :shame:

Re: PBeM minimod updated for v1.2
Wasnt able to get on yesterday but the thread is still alive.
Still taking "applications" for factions. I think it would be GREAT to fill up every faction...we may never finish such a game but it would be a hell of alot of fun :laugh3:
Updated players.
PS:@Celtic: Just admit it, you're scared of a 1 on 1 :smug:

Re: PBeM minimod updated for v1.2
Double post but I pulled my groin doing squats today and my internet loads edits very slow tonight :juggle2: = No patience.
As to Sarkiss' suggestion, I installed the minimod pack to try it out. I installed all of it, the 5.1a city mod for it, and the phalnx mod for it (all on the same page)
IMO, and Sarkiss', it adds alot of realism. My vote is for this little thing, but again if majority says no then..well..no :smile2:
Also, I think it would speed things up if we "recruited", or spread the word. Just PM a friend and ask if he's interested. If not, we all PM him 5,000 times a day with the same message until we "convince" him to join. :clown:

I wouldn't have been a Celtic Viking, nor would I have chosen Arverni, if I was. Civil war, baby!
(But I wouldn't pass on an ally if I can get one. :laugh4:)
Edit: Oh, and I'm against using the phalanx mod, though the city mod is all good to me.

Re: PBeM minimod updated for v1.2
I would most likely be interesting in playing (although I'll probably lose pretty quickly playing against intelligent opponents :clown: ) . I'll call Makedonia. It would probably be a good idea to see if we can get a sub-forum over in the PBM section to discuss rules and get this going.
-
Re: PBeM minimod updated for v1.2
Come on, I want every slot filled...
Btw, I'm not sure about what to do with instalation. I've changed the names of all the files; do I now just wait for you to initiate the game?

Got you in as Makedonia, and yeah that is a good idea. But I think we should wait until we have enough players to show whomever the Throne Room moderator we have soem dedication.
@-Subotan: The files don't need to be changed until we start, so if you switch back to the original files you can play single player..or you can play a multi-faction campaign as you wait :2thumbsup:
But yes, when we get enough players (whenever that is) I will start by going over installation and setup, etc etc.

There's loads of EBers (Ebbers?) that haven't signed up. I'd have thought this to be filled up to the max by now.

Is this thread alive? If so Casse would be nice!

Re: PBeM minimod updated for v1.2
If we can get two people to play Karthadastim and Ptolemaioi we should just go ahead and start and let others join later if they wish.
