I will probably host a big PBEM once I get my copy.

Start small. Things might not work as you expect them to, and I think you'll all want to try lots of different strategies first. Fast games in small maps, that's nice for learning. And there's lots to learn.

That's some good advise. Also my PBEM hosting utility will probably need some updates for working with dom III (unless the command line switches for hosting and verifying remain the same).

Who knows, maybe few weeks/months later we will start that infamous huge game with 50 players with nations from all eras. Why make ladders when we can have whole forum in one game?

Yeah, I know I'm nuts.

WHAT??? are you serious? 50 nations?
Now that should be awesome! looking forward to hosting/participating in such a game

Heh. Yep - 'cause after 2 weeks, you'd have 5-10 players wanting the game paused or replacement players, or simply staling every turn, proceeding to get worse and worse.

I would play in such a game.

But I am

I am real easy as well concerning what nation I play, any will do.

Plus I always fight to the bitter, bitter end.

Still waiting for my Dom 3, was shipped on Monday, so everything crossed I get it by Saturday.

A game with all nations would be sick, would also be extremely funny on some maps (50+ players on aran, less than 2 provinces per player

). I'd be happy to participate in any game starting up, also if any of you guys are free to blitz on sunday please PM me.

Count me in a PBEM game as early era Helheim

I think you should wait until some-one decides to host (and what era ect will be used)

Yep that's what I am waiting for, a host volunteer.

Guess everyone's to busy playing SP at the mo...

My guess is that potential hosts realize that the first few MP games announced here are going to be both (a) filled eagerly and immediately and (b) fraught with minor but annoying technical difficulties. I sympathize entirely, and I am not brave enough to step forward.

If I were, though, I would name the game "Fools Rush In".

So basically we need a fool.

Any volunteers?

U would be a truely heroic fool...if that helps
