Essential info for playing:

How to log in:
- Start Civ4 - BtS
- Go to Multiplayer --> Direct IP Connection
- Fill in your nickname for Player Name and 83.161.37.29 OR haagsma.demon.nl OR beam.linuxhome.com (whatever suits your ruined brain best ;) ) for Network Address and click Connect.
- Select your civilization and click Ok.
- Choose a password and fill it in twice. Next time, it will ask for the same password. (No shit! )
- Play!
- Exit to menu when you're done! The connection doesn't close properly when you exit the game directly, resulting in the game going slower and slower every time someone does that. In effect I would have to save and reload the game every turn.

When you leave the game always use "Exit to Main Menu!"

I suspect that "Exit to Desktop" does not close your connection properly and leaves some components of an Active Peer.

The doublemove rule in this game:

Doublemoves are allowed in all cases except when accompanied by a declaration of war. In that case the declaring player is not allowed any offensive action against declared player until either:
a) 18 hours after end of the turn where war is declared.
b) the declared player logs in after end of the turn where war is declared.
The declaration of war itself still allows units of the declaring player offensive actions against the declared player in the turn where war is declared.

Excellent!! Thanks for hosting!
That doesn't work for BtS, does it?

And will you be using beam.homelinux.com again?

Mwaah, removed that piece.

beam.homelinux.com seems to be inactive. Where again can I go to reactivate or ask for a new one?

Please switch me with RobiD. :)

Oki

Matrix, or somebody else can you please test if beam.linuxhome.com is up and running again? Connecting to the Pitboss will do. :)

Success!

I'll check when I get home.

BTW, Beam, in your signature, the links are crooked, please correct.

First turn played! Thanks for hosting, Beam.

Ok done:)
America is yours.

Thanks for hosting Beam[goodjob]

Played and ready to kick but!

All but two have played and I have PM'ed IanDC and Plux to kick their asses.

Imo we should keep the clock ticking and go next turn in about 4 hours.

Well, neither Plux nor IanDC claimed their civs. Shouldn't we wait? Or just proceed?

Yeah, I'd hate to waste another turn on the unclaimed civs. What we can do is consider them vacancies and look for 2 additional players. Meantime I can put them to AI just before the end of this turn if there are no takers. The AI will most likely settle and go researching Archery at this stage.

OK with that or another option?

The other option is to pause the game. Once Ian and Plux have logged in, the game can go on. I am fine with giving them, let's say another day or so. I mean, the game will surely take some months anyway, so stopping it for a day would be no problem for me.

I'm with socralynnek. Better wait a day rather than waste two civs.

Plux has jsut claimed so we are waiting for IanDC whom I've also send a PM and e-mail thru that other site.

Got the e-mail thanks - I'm in.

:cool:

Why are we always wanting on Simon. [rant] ;)

Updated the first post with two alternate aliases you can use to connect to the game. :)

The game has just been restarted. Please pick your new civ in the first post. :)

Done, Al-Nicodemad of Arabia has played his first turn. Starting position is much improved!

Holy Beam seconds that.

Many thanks Mauer! [goodjob]

My starting position is somewhat the same, although surroundings have improved, as far as I can tell.

I think it will all work out. If not, I did my best to balance things out :)

I know this map has probably 2X or 3X more bonuses (of all kinds) on the map than the last one did. Should be fun and I actually wish I was playing it. Would have been even better that I know the map :D

Yeah, you may have made it to the AD's or something kerazy like that! ;)

Claimed the cursed Koreans. Starting location is quite nice but the leader sucks.

I was going to ask for a swap since i've just finished an epic SP game with Japan, but everyone else had already claimed their civs.

Have to say my start is slightly worse then the other game, but the surroundings (what i can see) look more promising then before.

I'm convinced that you can't please everybody even some of the time ;)

Yes, it is part of the game. May be if you complain, the random becomes more favorable. That is a strong belief among many however unsupported by actual observation. [lol]

Ooh yeah, Islam is mine :cool:

Anyone dead yet?

Simon worried me a bit but he resurrected today.

woop moved up off bottom place!

just so that everybody knows.. Stapel will be playing my turns untill monday or tuesday (I hope).. Any diplo or complaints about my massive lead :-P will go through him..

All I need is a password..............

Blehhhhh, the new forum doesn't notify new mails as I supposed it would....

I can't connect, think the game is down.

I'll be home in a few hours, made a save this morning.
