Hi,

We are trying to start a Civ4 game here with Pitboss instead of playing an Email game.
We load PB, add all the people that want to play, no problems here.
So, I load up Civ4 on my machine at another desk here and I select a Race, and go, somone else loads up Civ4 and selects another race, and goes, etc. Now, say I log off, someone can then select MY race and go.
We cannot find a way to password protect each race so that the person who pics the race first gets to keep that race.
Can anyone shed some light on this issue?

Latest Patch 1.61 of Civ4 with the latest Pitboss.

I found the problem...

You must use DirectIP Game, not LAN Game. I guess the thinking is, for a LAN game, you're all in the same area, so if someone takes your turn you just go beat them down...you can set passwords for races in DirectIP game

thanks
