Civ4 Pitboss! Once more unto the breach!
I'm planning to start a new Civ4 pitboss in two weeks from now, when I'm back home. Once more like the good old days. Anyone here interested to pick up the game again and dedicate a few minutes per day and a lot of diplomatic chattering? [duelist]
|
A mighty fine initiative, but even if I had the time and patience to pick up civ 4 again, I'm handicapped by the absence of a dvd player in my computer.
|
I can't help you with time and patience, but I can offer you ISO's. (Since I know you have the game legally already anyway. :rolleyes:) But know that a USB-DVD-drive doesn't cost that much either.
|
You're not even supplying patience? Worst. Host. Ever.
|
Hmmm, I'd need to install Civ4 as well... but I think I know where the DVD is ;-)
I don't have that much time for playing, but a few minutes per day... I guess that might be possible... And it seems like even civstats.com is still active... |
Ah, civstats.com! I remembered the site, but had forgotten the URL. Thanks! :D I was actually considering to recreate it myself. Or perhaps make a mobile app that sends a reminder when you can play your turn again. [rolleyes]
But cool that you like to join. :) Can you PM me your e-mail address? Then I can send details by e-mail. |

All set, had a quick test run, got whacked by wildlife and barbs. Ready for the real deal.
|
Don't worry, I'm neither. :D

EDIT: I just saw Imperator is coming april 25th, so I'll sit it out until that is released. |
Found my dvd, patched BtS up, started some game, I guess, I haven't played Civ4 for more than 5 years...
But, yeah, it works! |
So, this Sunday. I don't recall playing much pitboss, do we need outside communication channels, or a centralized thread for general info here? IIRC we can do single player "whisper" chat in-game and trade offers/counters but that requires logging in, right?
|
The game is up! Five real life Finnish friends of mine, one of their friends, socralynnek, Killer, Beorn and me. Ten players. Let's have it! :D

Matrix, I must issue my first formal diplomatic apology. I mistook this thread and your spoiler thread for lack of reading the title all the way (to the important "spoiler" part). And there was a picture where I remember seeing a tile. This is a breach of protocol but I hope it won't tip the scales.
For the sake of fairness, here's a similarly powered, albeit slightly different tile of mine: I have a grassland forest near city #1. So there, everyone has dirt on me now. If you wish, I could PM another such tile to make it up to you specifically. Spam aside, do we need a diplomatic hub? Since not everyone is in here for PMs, is diplo to be conducted by snapchat? Or a bit of both? Just wondering, I have no preference nor suggestions. And welcome Killer, Napoleon was afraid you'd surrender on him. |
Heh, no worries. [^] I always considered all those brutal asterisks in the title ugly, so I simply use a modest " - Spoiler", but that was apparently asking for trouble.
As for diplomacy, I actually think people will have to help themselves. You can send messages in the game and in such messages you can ask for someone's e-mail address, phone number, Facebook account, Twitter account, fax number, residential address, work address, have covert representatives meet at undisclosed locations... I'm sure people will work it out. |
Should I tell our Finnish adversaries about this site?
|
Right, there's in-game chat. Shows you how much pitboss I've played ;)
As for this site, well, doesn't EVERYONE know about the famed and ubiquitous civduelzone? |

It might look a bit rusty over here as time seems to have stopped with Civ4 over here, but well, why not? |
Should we tell this site about this site? My thread is still absolutely devoid of spam.
|
I think this thread can be moved to the open thread forum.
|
Would it be terribly unbecoming of me to just declare war on everyone, amicably, to have free right of passage? Just a temporary measure.
|
You could try and see how it works out. [tongue]
Honestly, if you'd declare war on me in order to have your scouting work boat pass by, I really wouldn't mind. |
I'm filling in for Vili but I'm experiencing problems connecting to the server. Can anyone assist me with this?
What I've done: - install Civ4.iso - install BTS.iso - install BTSpatch.exe - install Bug.exe Game starts and runs fine - start up with bug mod 4.4 - Go Multiplayer - Direct internet/IP games - try to log on to civ.lensink.nl with Vili name and pass : connection time out after 'contacting host' for a while - try to log on to 77.221.39.243 with Vili name and pass : connection time out after 'contacting host' for a while When I ping directly from CMD everything is fine. Any suggestions? |
problem solved, nm.
|
GUYS. When someone finally kills Chad the cool barb, you BETTER make it a big deal in your spoiler.
You'll know which one. |
