Deathstalkers PBW game
 

I have created a PBW game and I am looking for a few (read:7) players to join in a 8 player game. 5000 point empires, max starting bonus, 3 planets in a med spiral map. Yes there are computer empires (medium #, high diff, med ai bonus), looking to do at least 1 turn a day (hopefully more, plays not forced on weekends, xcept weekend of 13-16th july which I will be camping http://www.shrapnelgames.com/ubb/images/icons/icon7.gif).

Special Shipsets are more than welcome, (hell, I'm playing Vader!)

Starting time to be announced (see how many players we get).

Will be checking the PBW once/twice a day to approve joins.

No real experience needed (don't be afraid, we'll be gentle http://www.shrapnelgames.com/ubb/ima...ons/icon12.gif).

I just applied to join. I'm a little hesitant to get into a second PBW game, but it looks like Askan is going to eliminate me from Geo's Tourney within a couple weeks anyway, and your game is the first I've noticed that's starting with low tech.

I would like to give it a try. This would be my first try, so I may need a little intel on how to play PBW. I am available for one or more turns a day.

Sure no problem, newbies are great, they oft time come up with strategies or a way of looking at things that those who play the game alot don't.

First things, go to the PBW site and find 'Deathstalkers Game', then sign up with an empire name. Then I can 'approve'/accept you to join, then create a 5000point empire (just start a game of se4, create an empire with 5000 racial points <any shipset> and save that empire file). Then after approved send in the empire file at the PBW site. If you are using a special shipset (borg etc) be sure to load it from the shipset directory or upload it to the PBW server.

Any other questions, just ask http://www.shrapnelgames.com/ubb/images/icons/icon7.gif

I found the PBW site http://seiv.pbw.cc/ but I don't see any games listed. Am I at the right site?

Yep, right site. I guess you first have to register with a name and a password (just like for Posts at the shrapnel site) and then click games on the top navbar, go to 'open games' on the left navbar and my game is down the list of open games.

Hi
Got a few questions to ask, I want to make sure I understand the rules so I don't messed up the game.

I have downloaded your empire and just wanted to know what folder I unstall it to? Once the game starts does downloading the file also setup the galaxy and related files? When I look at the siev.pbw site under your game and under the commands column I have 'Withdraw' listed, can you tell me what this means? Once I completed a turn, I generate a turn and than save it and sent the turn, is this correct? Looking forward to playing the game.

Many thanks

Questions are good!

The shipset I am using is the Star Wars Empire 1 shipset. All you need to do is unzip it. Then move the unzip folder (called sw-emp1 probally) into the 'races' folder in se4 (in the 'pictures' folder). Everyone must do this for special shipsets that don't come with the base se4 game. This is so that everyone will see the correct empire pictures etc. Just like installing a TDM-modpack.

When the game starts everyone will be getting a turn file every time a turn is generated. It is a zip file, you unzip it into your Se4 folder 'Savegame', then go into the game, load the appropriate save game (deathstalker......) and click onto your empire, enter the password you have selected and then hit 'login'.

Take your turn, then the file will be saved under a file like 'deathstalker3.plr', with the number being the # your empire/player is. Go to the pbw site, enter the game selection for the game (deathstalkers game) and hit 'send turn', it will as you to find the previously mentioned file, (browse), send it. Send the plr file, not the gam file.

Thats about it http://www.shrapnelgames.com/ubb/images/icons/icon7.gif
