Civilization 3: World RP! Join NOW!

Hello everyone, I got this idea a while back. I was thinking that we should combine Civilization 3 and Nationstates. They both are meant to be together, if you think about it. This is how I figure it would work:

I would create a map with all the cities and infrastructure set up. Then I would start a PBEM game with 8 people or so. Each nation would get a civilization on the map. Each nation would be around the same size while also getting a custom choice like if they want to be landlocked or an island. Once all this is figured out, we would start the game. In the first 10 turns, we aren't allowed to declare war. We can just build up our militaries, buildings, and such. During this ten period time you could form trade alliances, military alliances and pacts. But this is where NS comes in. Whatever you do in the game, you would RP in Nationstates. Say for example you start a discussion with one of the leaders in Civ3. You would come to NS and RP that like you would normally do it. This way we can add the fun of both into one.

But the real fun will come when we do wars. You will do your turns in the game and then RP what you did in the normal fashion here. For example, if your mechanized infantry attacked a tank on a mountain, you would RP it. But that great thing is, you would figure out who would win the battle in Civ3 so there isn't any godmodding or debating going around. Its ensure to be smooth.

To keep this RP running, I will create a forum where we will do all the RPing off-site, instead of clustering poor II. :)

Here's the requirements:

1) You must be a good RPer. I will not accept bad RPers in this game.
2) You must be reliable. You can't hold on a save for more than 24 hours unless you state so or have an emergency. If you don't, we will find a replacement for you.
3) A maximum of 8 people will be aloud, though I will make each game have only 4 players so the games run smoothly. I will, though, setup a number of games so everyone can play who meets the requirements.
4) You must have Civilization 3: Conquest expansion pact too. Update to the latest patch 1.22f.

If you meet these three requirements then just post here if your interested. I will take questions of course. When I get enough people, I will create the forum and post it in the thread. So start joining. Its sure to be a blast ;)

I may be interested- however, I dunno if I can upload and download PBEM games because I have 56k dialup. I recall some save files are like 1 - 5 MB big? :confused:

From my games they never get over 1 mb. Maybe thats because I don't finish any of them. But I doubt it would get too big. :)

Thanks everyone for showing your interest. We have enough people to start our game already.

The Silver Sky: Welcome aboard. I already know how you RP so I don't need to get a background check on you.

Swilatia: Because I don't know you, I'm going to have to give you a background check. If you pass then I'll tell you.

Hanseania: Same thing as Swilatia.

I'll start the checks now and get back to you guys as soon as possible (within today or tomorrow). Thanks :)

A few things.

#1: I'd be interested in joining up- I'd like to play the Chinese or the Zulu if possible.

#2: Will this "game" take place on an Earth map?

#3: I have Civilization: Conquests, which means I have everything Civ 3.

#4: Have you guys heard about Civilization 4? Its supposed to come out on Oct. 28, I heard.

#5: How do we make sure no cheating or anything happens with this game?

1) I'm going to change the name of the civs to the name of your nation so that doesn't matter. Also I'm getting rid of the unique units and all the ancient, middevil, and industrial units. Just keep the modern.

2) No I'm going to create a map for us.

3) Good.

4) Yeah, but I don't want to wait that long and I won't get until my birthday comes around (January)

5) There's no full proof but I'll just hope that they won't cheat. If I do find out, then they'll be kicked out.

The Silver Sky: I already know about that. You should go to Civfanatics.com. They have a much, much bigger selection of mods and scenarios ranging from cold war to WW2 to fantasy to all other junk. You should check it out and you don't need to register.

I am interested but I don't think I have time.

However, I think it would be cool if we made our own Unique Units.

I am also interested in participating, but the time I am able to play will vary on how much homework I have. I am gaining experience in RPing since my introduction of Weyland-Yutani Corp. to the NationStates storefront. Speaking of corporations, I think it would be cool if we could name our own corporations in this RP. Not just corporations, but other things too. Kind of like advancing the concept of Civ3. Yeah, just throwing in my buck-o-five there. Also, I would like to be China if it has not already been taken.
