I'm looking for 2 teams of 2 more teams of 2 people to play this.

It will be a fractile map, epic speed, noble setting with three 2-person teams of human players and 3 2-civ teams of AI.

If interested send me your email and civ preference and your partners email and civ preference.

France and Germany have already been spoken for.

I'd like to join, i'll pm you my e-mail address and what-not. I would prefer the game not be epic, and instead be normal or quick, though. But i'll still play :) .

Guys, when i play the civ file, it asks for nutcraker's password. I think someone sent me the file instead of another person, or something. Also, what is the turn order?

Umm it says "game paused by nutcracker" at the bottom...is it supposed to say that? I coulda sworn it ended my turn tho. Anyone know whats up?

Juggling Ninja, I think you got sent Nutcracker's turn by mistake. Once you play your turn the game will pause and tell you to send the save on to the next player. The save is located in your PBEM folder which you should find inside of the "my saves" folder in your "my documents" folder. You can tell which file it is by the file name. For example if you had just played year 3640 BC and the next player was Zukov, the file would be called "CivFanaticsPBEM_BC-3640_to_Zukov"

Nutcracker, having the game say "paused by nutcracker" means that you've played your turn. Check your PBEM folder to see who you are supposed to send the turn to next.

Ok yea so I end my turn and it says the file has been saved in my PBEM folder and to send it to JugglingNinja. However, when JugglingNinja gets it, he starts playing as me...wtf?

I did send it manually. It won't let me do it from the game. The file is called "Blue1_team_BC_4000_to_jugglingnina". I don't get why it won't work. I did everything right.

hmmm, I'm stumped, that should be the right file...anyone else have any ideas?

I don't know. Maybe we should restart the game, it may have an error in the way it was configured.

Some E-mail servers don't let you send directly from Civ IV. Because I use Yahoo, I have to send manually anyway...

Yea maybe we should just restart. I don't know how this problem could be solved. Maybe somebody doesn't have the right patch??

Apparently, as it looks as though we will have to restart, if you can find someone to play with as a human partner, I'll be happy to add you to the game.
