Civs vs Civs - Open Thread
 

WooOOOooOt

we're finally underway.

Here is the thread where this was started if you care to read it.

Basically each player has 2 leaders from the same civ. except IglooDude and he has Native American civs (as a reward for acquiring a hosting computer :D Thanks ID)

Here is the roster

America (George & Roosevelt) - Robboo
China (Mao & Qin) - Socraynnek
England (Vicky & Elizabeth) - barbu1977
France (Louis & Nappy) - krysABunchOfLetters
Germany (Bismark & Freddy) - Darkness
India (Asoka & Ghandi) - Robi D
Mongolia (Kublai & Ghengis) - BCLG3001
Russia (Pedro & Cathy) - Tubby
Incans and Aztecs - IglooDude

I'll get Civstats going as soon as we have a couple reports of the game working properly.

tubby dont forget to post a picture of your capital so we can all see our summer retreats

Which capital? I think that I might name mine after random drinks made with vodka [:p]

oh and I need the city called Uranus so that Buddhism can spread to Uranus [lol]

you liked that one huh? :D

im not sure what to name mine this time, i think i may go for interesting places to spread....

What is CivStats ?

I think I'll also name my cities for once. And fact is, we almost (or all ?) have the same civ twice, which means there is redundancy here, not sure how the game copes with it.

Civstats is basically a program that runs alongside pitboss that ID sets up made by some fella at cfc which allows you to check on the internet how long left on each turn there is without actually going through the hassle of logging in and looking for yourself :)

http://www.civstats.com/ is the site. You can register and then you can actually conduct diplomacy there if you don't have an email address or PM location. It will also give you information available to everyone in game such as when people log in and out, when people's scores increase or decrease, when someone is eliminated, etc.

Looks like Darkness just finished both his civs' turns. [coool]

OK, I logged on just fine for both my civs, but when I had moved all my units I didn't get the "press enter for next turn" announcement on the bottom of my screen (for both civs).

So you just logged out?

Odd, given that the pitboss admin panel is showing the asterisk next to both your civs, which indicates that your turn is complete. [confused]

could it be that the default seting on the map does not have "always wait the end of turn" box checked?

No, I ended my turn by pressing [SHIFT][ENTER]
That works just fine. I just wanted to say that I didn't get the "press enter for next turn" message at the bottom of the screen. After ending my turn I got the "waiting for other civilizations", like always.

Civstats is up for the game:

http://www.civstats.com/viewgame.php?gameid=203

The registration password for this game is the letter c. (If you don't have an account at civstats yet, you need to create one before you can register for this particular game.)

And I'm not sure if it'll matter, or for that matter if anyone can even tell, but if I've got your two civ leaderheads in the wrong order just let me know.

I didn't get the message either...btw, DArkness and I are tied for the lead :)

I'll see if that setting can be changed via Gyaathar's utility.

How do you play a PitBoss game ? [:p]

In the civ menu, you select Multiplayer -> Direct IP connexion.

Then you enter the IP sent to you by PM, hit connect, select your leader, enter PW, wait a little and you play your turn!

That's about it.

On one of my civs, it prompted me to hit enter when all moves were done, but it didn't do that for the other civ...

I played. :) I didn't get the End-of-turn message for either civ.

Is there a way to switch leader without logging out?

i dont think so barbu

nope you have to log out....

played no problem.

Logged in for both civs no problems, will play in a few hours when i have the chance to sit down for more than 5 mins.
Anyway big thanks to akots and ID for the map and server respectively :)

Played with no problems, but didn't get the message either but as it waited til I pressed th green button, it's fine.

Lookoing at civstats everyone who has been in has ended their turn, just BC left to play to take us to turn 2

my bad, knew i forgot to do something, ill go in and check it now :)

Looks like you need to hit your turn in the 32-player pitboss game, too.

i was just about to go into that now [:p]

everytime i go into 32 player though it literally kills my comp :(

the mod for the 32 played game wont open :(

maybe could be to do with how ive patched up now... any ideas anyone?

That'd certainly be my assumption - the game is running unpatched still, so unless you install an unpatched Warlord game or the game patches, you're SOL.

hmmmm. We'll i patched up so i could play the civIVor warlords game

Right, I think most people that are also in other multiplayer Warlords games (this doesn't happen to include me) are running both versions at once.

plus i patched to see the blake thing, havnt played SP yet :)

What's the blake thing? [confused]

makes the AI actually clever, theres a thread both at cfc and poly listing what he's done and basically he's made the AI think like a human- its pretty amazing tbh. Makes the game harder without just giving the AI bonuses

That sounds interesting, which part of the forum is it in?

Edit- Never mind, found it

new turn is up :)

oh and it appears im at war now :)

i'm at war too.
evil ********************************************** declared on me twice, no, four times.
or so...

so ynnek and BCLG are at war.. do tell... I'm at work and won't be able to check the game until a bit later.

EDIT:: nevermind I have once again confirmed that I'm a moron... everyone is at war in this game... duh. I confused this with the CDZ pitboss game [wallbash]
