    I guess we should mention that the battles are auto-resolved.

    Yes, the battles will be auto-resolved. The game version will be RTW 1.5 without any mods to it. The Romans are unplayable( do to some conflicts between the already signed up players, we decided to remove them from the playable list). Other than that I can't think of any rules we have that i haven't mentioned. Obviously no cheats allowed, the usual stuff.

    This sounds interesting, but i'd like to know more about how this will work. Initially, i would like to be included and would like to play as the Germans if possible.

    Well, I'd love to pass on the information that you're interested to Ultra(he's the one running this show). A little more about the PBEM method: The campaign starter, in this case Ultra will email you the script for the turn we're playing. It is essentially the information for the campaign we're playing, but you only play your turn, hit the end turn button, save it and pass on the onformation to the next person in line. The turns go in this order
    • macedon
    • egypt
    • seleucid
    • carthage
    • parthia
    • pontus
    • gauls
    • germans
    • britons
    • armenia
    • dacia
    • greek_cities
    • numidia
    • scythia
    • spain
    • thrace

    After everyone has played their turn, the list starts over again, and so on until we have a winner.

    It is basically a multiplayer campaign. I'm guessing that if two people wanted to and it wuldn't tae too long, some battles could be played out in real life in multi but then how do you reflect the changes in troop numbers? Disbanding?

    You understand how a succesion campaign works?? In a succesion campaign people play until they get stuck, right? Then they send the saved game onto the next player. Okay? So in a PBEM campaign we are all playing at the same time, and after your turn you send the saveed game on to the next player. Just like a succesion campaign, only instead your're playing with many people.
    DOes that clear anything up a little more?? If you still have some questions that I haven't answered, post 'em here and I'll try to explain more. Or maybe Ultra will come around and answer them, he knows more about these gametypes than I do.

    Also how will diplomacy work, diplomats asking for alliances etc.

    I think i'll sit this one out too. I've got some work to do, but if this sounds successful i'd love to be involved in a second one.

    Diplomacy will work by e-mail and stuff. In-game Alliances aren't that important anyway. As for trade rights,the AI accepts most of them anyway. I found a site dealing with RTW multiplayer campign a while back and I'll se if I can find it.

    Here is a thread at The Guild about it.

    So this is a campaign, how exactly does it work? Do we all play different factions in the same campaign or what? I am confused....

    And if I join I CALL ARMENIA!
