I had my build on food instead of shields and had no time to recover.

Tentatively put me down for cannon fodder (or maybe not) as Alex, but will have to see how this goes. Twice a day might not work for me, as it would have to be before work (~0800 MST) and late night (~2300 MST).

Do I need to install anything extra? During patch installation it asked about some extra program which would only be needed for MP, and I said to skip it.

Whomp & I started a Pitboss game last night and it was very nice. I didn't have to download anything. For those who haven't done a Pitboss game yet, (assuming that we'll be doing directIP) you go to the multiplayer menu, then to DirectIP connection.

You then have to enter the Game Name, IP address, and a game password (optional). Once you are there, you select the civ that you are playing and go take your turn then could get off. If everyone happens to be on at the same time, we could prolly get a few turns done relatively quickly.

In our game last night, I noticed that you can change builds, movement orders, citizen tile allocation, and conduct diplomacy even while it's not your turn. We were playing teams with permanent alliances with 1 AI and it was pretty neat because you share techs and can tell the AI what to research and where to attack. Peter isn't seeming to listen on the attack part, but the dual research is kind of nice.

I resemble that remark though I'd be considered a twat at CDZ. So for that I

you.

I fart in your general direction

any updates on this besides the flatulence from the rubber duck towards the cow?

DaveShack · 24-01-2006, 07:52

Will this game be getting off the ground? I'm still interested!

If I had a computer that my wife didn't need to get on, I'd host it and start it up. I don't think that we have to have all 18 players in order to play.

It seems as though a lot of players here at CDZ aren't too fond of some aspect of Civ4 so we might jsut want to go forward with what we have. I could prolly split out from Whomp, but would need some slack on the time restriction as I can't play everyday.

Yes, I think we can give it a go. We're far from 18, but I guess that's not feasible.

I'm at the start of my exam period (2 weeks), so I don't have time to set it up. Anyone else is free to do so. Does everyone agree on Pitboss, simultaneous moves, normal speed, 24h time limit? If you can't play for X days, notify the 'Pitbossmaster' and he can either change your civ to an AI (which you can claim back later), or save the game so that we can continue later. (Is that correct?)
