That was in english [lol] Basically it was a typo.
As for your nukes, your just going to have to wait for another game to use them.

Congrats Robi [goodjob], still puzzling for me why the old world has been so passive on its own turf. "China is to far away". Not with Railroads and a couple of good deals imo.

My thoughts exactly.

Sorry, but the hosting of this pitboss ended in a predictable way: my computer crashed. [lol]

(I should've known better this time: I messed around with audio/video cables while the computer was still running...)

By the way, it was my pleasure to host this one, but electricity cost rose about 10 euro per month, so if you want me to host another one I'll need to persuade my wife first. ;)

I would not have though a computer used that much electricity. Who much do you pay per kW/h?

I'm still fine with hosting a game. I have a PC running 24/7 anyway. However, this PC doesn't have a dvd-player.......

So, how can I get CiV on it? Would it work to simply copy the whole CiV-folders from one PC to another?

I think that should work. Perhaps I can come over once and bring my cd's along. (And play a game or two, since I'm there anyway. ;))

We pay about €0.07/kWh. That would mean the computer runs at approx. 350W. That seems a bit too much, but I do know a computer is a big energy consumer anyway.

Oh, that's a cool idea anyway. Maye we should invite a few more: I guess a 4 player game might be fun. 'll check with the mrs to see when our common agenda has time :D . However, I think I should gte a hosting up and running before that! I'll try sending the files over my home network.
BTW: How come your civ is on CDs, whereas mine is on DVD?

I very much doubt a PC, without a monitor, that does not much more than host CiV all day, uses 350W. You can check the maxium power use on the PC's label. It's probably 250W. A computering just running is more likely to use 70-100 Watt. At any regular electronics or home improvement store, you can buy a Watt meter for about 20 euros.

Because I made a typing error. [rolleyes]

I'll have little to do between January 20th till February 15th, so if I can come over between that time it would be perfect. And finding two more players shouldn't be too difficult, don't you think?

Copying............

I think I've found the problem of all these crashes I had when I was hosting the pitboss. The fan of my videocard is scorched off! [eek] It was probably a wire that burned off first, but when I looked yesterday night the fan itself, and what it was connected to, was all black, and all I could do was to tear it off. Luckily I still had a loose fan somewhere; one that you can place in stead of a PCI-card, which blows against the card next to it. It makes an awful lot of noise, but let's hope it'll cool the videocard sufficiently. :)

Your server or your normal system?

I have no server, just a router. So it's my own computer.

That sucks [:o]

Oh well, shit happens. What sucks more is the fact that my current motherboard doesn't have a PCI-express slot, which makes a potential replacement AGP-videocard basically a waste of money.

Same thing happened to me 2 years back. I ended up having to get a crappier card with the plan to replace the computer in a year or so which I did.

Well,

I copied all files to another computer, but no succes. As expected, several DLLs are missing.
