Field of Glory Empires MP Game New Thread.

The product page says 1-6 players.. we have 12. Can you confirm this actually works on release?
Just spotted it and I thought I'd ask. 😊

Supposedly up to 16 . This was posted on the Slitherine Forum for Empires from someone playing such a big MP game in beta.

The steam page describes the MP system as the "biggest asynchronous MP system ever created" so should be fine !

We shall see.

[Yskonyn]

Ok that's reassuring!
Might be that the product page is just a standard template thingy.

Dammit - I was going to try to claim the (exotic, delicious) Seleucids but they were already taken - that's why I went for Bactria...not knowing they would be under someone else's thumb.

If you fancy the Ptolemaic Egyptians then you can have them and I will take another nation.

I really don't mind .

There are a couple of others I fancy so let me know.

I knew you sounded familiar.

No it's ok, it would not be fair.

So Gents....we now have a release date of Thursday July 11th.

Given most players will be working (though not me as I am happily retired ! ) it seems fairest to have a start date for the MP tournament of Saturday 20th July to give everyone time to get familiar in SP.

There will be a 48 hour turnaround for turns.

I plan to publish a regular intelligence and gossip sheet before the first turn and then every 3 turns thereafter from the state of the art Ptolemaic printing presses in the world renowned "Papyrus Spysheet".

This will cover the publicly visible major events in game such as declarations of war,conquests,collapses of governments etc as well as rumours and scurrilous gossip....

I will of course accept any bits of information (or disinformation) from other players for publication.

I have yet to decide whether to post this to each players inbox by PM or just post it on a new Empires Intelligence thread so none players can follow events.....


More to follow.....😉

[Gusington]

Sounds great 👍

Sounds good to me.  Thanks for setting this up devoncop!  I envy the spare time of a retired grognard

My pleasure !

The launch edition of the esteemed newsletter is already under construction...  O0

Be very afraid players....intelligence is already being received that may mean sleepless nights and the need for more Palace guards for some....😱

[Gusington]

This is shaping up to be truly special.

Proclamation from Ptolemy the Pharoah of all Egypt:

Ptolemaic Emissaries are at present being sent out to neighbouring nations with a view to establishing close and fruitful relationships with Egypt and suggesting possible ways in which such a relationship can be developed in the future.......

(ie........All MP players in the game starting on 18th July may find it advantageous to check your PM's over the next day or so  :D )

[Gusington]

 >:D

I like your thinking.
