Anyone up for a Britannia hotseat game?

Well, England is going to get piled on. Norway has to raid to make money. You have expressed interest in Ireland. So that leaves Wales or Scotland.

I think I'll be Scottish!

Scotland it is, then, PK.

I would like to play Ireland, but I'm going to hold back from picking a faction until one or two more people join. In my experience, Ireland is popular in games like this, so I'm going to give someone else a chance to play them.

hello - I said Ireland, but you have me as Norway

don't really mind too much though, so if that was intentional I'll play norway....but I'd prefer Ireland

Doh!

Sorry, for some reason I thought Ireland was at the bottom of the list. Obviously I didn't read closely or I would have noticed otherwise.

Norway's in a very precarious position, what with Norway itself not being on the map. I wouldn't force them on anyone.

Put me down as Wales!!!!

Ok, partly to make up for the unfortunate position one of the players is in in a different hotseat game (you know who you are

), I'm going to be every faction's favorite target and pick England.

All three somethinglands are taken, as well as Wales, Norway is left. Should noone wish to play Norway, I can switch with someone and they can play England.

Welcome aboard, Roadkill.

Just to inform you guys I have never ever played hotseat before so I have no idea how it works, So it would be kindly appreciated if someone could explain how it functions to me.

Have you played any other types of pbms?

Each player plays their turn, hits end turn, then presses escape and saves. zip the save, upload, and the next person downloads that save and starts their turn.

The first turn you get you can enter a password, and then every time your turn starts, you'll be asked for it again.

Other than that, and the unfortunate fact that battles have to be autoresolved, it's just like playing the single player game, but with real players to interact with and struggle against.

Usually diplomacy is conducted via pms, at least if you don't want everyone to know about your deals. If you do, for purposes of say, threatening a large power by announcing membership in a coalition, just post the stuff in here(or an IC thread, if anyone would like me to start one).

Diplomacy makes your breaks you in these games, and being isolated can be a death sentence, so it make be good to make a deal with at least one other faction pretty quickly.
