I'll play. I don't really care about the setup. I've never played PBEM nor multiplayer, but I want to learn. I'm of the school that the more random the better because it forces you to develop a new strategy every time.

(This message obsolete)

I'm in the forum pretty much every day, so i'll notice once it fills up. At 2 turns a week, how long do you expect the game to last?

(This message obsolete)

So would this type of game last a month, two months, longer? I have no clue how long a typical PbEM game runs.

PBEM last quite a while. For comparison, you can check some of the other threads here, but for example, RabaYuugi's No. 1 has been going for just over 4 months, and it is a small map at normal speed. I don't know if there have significant delays, or anything (although those might be considered normal, two).

In "4 teams - Vanilla 1.74", they have been at it 3 months, and they are in ~1760 BC.

(this message obsolete)

I can probably do a turn a day, but if it takes me two days i hope no one is mad

Alrighty Guys, so we have four sign-ups, and I think we're ready to start fleshing this out.


May want to edit your original post if we are capping this at 4.


Map Size/Type

Since there are 4 of us, I wouldn't make it huge if you want us to find each other. What works best I don't know as I'm new to this


Game Speed

What are the options here?


Civilizations

I have no preference


Turn Times/ Days

I can make a turn a day it most cases. During the weekends, Saturdays are usually busy for me, so I may not get a turn in on those days


Teams or no teams

I'm open here as I am a newbie and just in it for fun


Any rules/ policies

Remember this is for fun. Stay in it until the end.

shazam. I am interested, if you still have openings. Will let you know my preferences later if I can join.

I'm not going to say no, especially for the shazam. However, to be fair, the other three guys would need to second it. As long as we can adhere to the guidelines in the first post.

* GAME SPEED (Quick/ Normal): Quick
* MAP SIZE (Duel/ Tiny/ Small): Small
* MAP SCRIPT (Battleground/ Smartmap/ Other): Any
* CIV PICS (Random/ Chosen): Random
* DIFFICULTY (Chieftan/ Warlord/ Noble): Noble
* TEAMS/ NO TEAMS: No Teams
* BTS 3.13 RUNS WELL FOR ME (yes/ no): Yes
* Should We Add VeteranLurker and have 5 (yes/ no): I dont mind

I'm not going to say no, especially for the shazam. However, to be fair, the other three guys would need to second it. As long as we can adhere to the guidelines in the first post.

I don't mind a fifth player.

Sorry to create confusion, I thought the game was still open at the time. Here are my preferences, if it helps you decide:

GAME SPEED (Quick/ Normal): EITHER, quick preferred.
MAP SIZE (Duel/ Tiny/ Small): SMALL, maybe with 5 it should be one size larger still?
MAP SCRIPT (Battleground/ Smartmap/ Other): OTHER (fractal or pangaea, low sea level), prefer realistic maps to anything too contrived.
CIV PICS (Random/ Chosen): CHOOSE, but random would be fine too.
DIFFICULTY (Chieftan/ Warlord/ Noble): WARLORD
TEAMS/ NO TEAMS: NO TEAMS
BTS 3.13 RUNS WELL FOR ME (yes/ no): YES, currently running Bhruric's patch.


I am in Michigan, USA, so GMT -5. I can usually play in the evenings, between 21:00-24:00, if you want to synchronize order of play.

I don't mind gaps in play for people being away/unavailable, as long as they notify everyone in advance.

Also, one suggestion I've seen is to limit communication amongst ourselves to generalities until contact has been made in-game (i.e. no negotiations).

Also, I've not done this in PBEM, but it would speed things up to do some kind of advanced start (so that we aren't waiting a couple weeks for the first warrior to be produced). Something like one era forward (classical?) might get things moving quicker?

* GAME SPEED (Quick/ Normal): ? normal
* MAP SIZE (Duel/ Tiny/ Small): ? small or larger with a 5th player
* MAP SCRIPT (Battleground/ Smartmap/ Other): ? No clue what this is
* CIV PICS (Random/ Chosen): ? random
* DIFFICULTY (Chieftan/ Warlord/ Noble): ? noble
* TEAMS/ NO TEAMS: ? no preference
* BTS 3.13 RUNS WELL FOR ME (yes/ no): ? yes
* Should We Add VeteranLurker and have 5 (yes/ no): ? yes

Most of my turns will be after 7PM Central (-6 GMT). Hope this helps. Can you explain what the map script is?

Can you explain what the map script is?

When you start a new game, you select what type of map you want to play on- usually continents, pangea, islands, etc. Some scrips are available as plug-ins that allow you to have more control to create different kinds of maps. I think we're probably going to go with vanilla pangea or continents.

A pangea will mean we meet each other sooner, and naval combat will take a back seat to land combat, whereas with continents, we might only meet one other civ before naval technology catches up.

I don't have any map scripts installed. Personally I don't care very much which map we use.

Well, the map scrips you have installed are the vanilla scripts that come with the game. When you start a new game and select what type of map you want to play on, you're selecting which script to use to generate the map. Of course, if you only play scenarios and pre-made maps, you probably won't use any map scripts.

Looks like a solid patch, and I'll probably try it out. However, I think, even though you and I know how to backup a .dll (and replace it), I'm afraid that some of us here won't. Ether way, we ether all need to do it or we all need to not do it.

That being said, if everyone could look at the above link and let us know if you're interested.

I don't know enough about that mod to make an educated decision.

My gut tells me to keep it simple. BTS 3.13, plain it is. Sorry Veteran, maybe you and I can set up a one-on-one or another PBEM later.

I will be making my turns usually around 2 - 6 pm central;

All setings allright

I'm not saying I wouldn't install the patch. How much of a difference in the play does it make? Will it affect multiplayer in other games I'm in?

I don't recall the specific fixes, but I slept better at night knowing that it fixed things that Firaxis left unfixed. :-) Still, it would likely affect your other games so we shouldn't install it unless everyone knows they would be fine with it.

Exactly, the savegame's been sent already with vanilla BTS 3.13. Good luck everyone! BTW- I've never played the civ I have and it will require something _totally_ different from what I'm used to!

If I install the patch, is there a way to turn it on or off when playing multiplayer?

I will make make my first move tommorow sory for that

If I install the patch, is there a way to turn it on or off when playing multiplayer?

The issue with this patch is that it's a core .dll replacement, which is fine if you backup your old one and swap it out whenever you don't want to use the mod.

For this game, we're not using it, but it would be easy enough for you to try it out, just follow the instructions from the link, and make sure you swap out the stock .dll when you play our PBEM game.

Is there an easier place to put the save file instead of drilling down through the game folder?

Is there an easier place to put the save file instead of drilling down through the game folder?

There are two other options: one is to set up Civ4 to automatically receive PBEM games from email, the other is to just download the save to a temp folder and open it up from there in Civ.

I'm going to try option 1 and report back to y'all.

Sent the file to VeteranLurker. Is that right?

Yes... Is this usually the time you'll play? I wonder if VeteranLurker is going to be able to play this late... I'm in bed by midnight or so, but we'll see.

I did receive/send after midnight, but then discovered connection problems so it didn't actually send until this morning. Cassembler should have the file now.

Odd that it shows the other leaders before meeting them -- didn't see that when I last played PBEM in Warlords.

I'll generally make my move any time between 7 and 9 Central. I had a lot of things to take care of last night and I realized that I hadn't updated to 3.13, so that took FOREVER.

Yikes! Hope all is well...

Best wishes your way. What happened?

I seem to get the new file every morning at 6. Am I holding up the game by waiting until the evening to move? I typically am busy getting ready for work that early in the morning, but I can work on moving earlier if that helps move things along.

Nick, did you figure out how to e-mail/receive files in-game?

No, I seem to be getting mine from VeteranLurker just fine... I'm sending mine at 11-midnoght or so. I dunno how the others feel.

Nick, did you figure out how to e-mail/receive files in-game?
No, but I haven't really poked around much... I think it requires setting up a Gamespy account, and my email already points to the right folder when I attach a file, so it's kind of redundant.

Slipped and fell on an icy sidewalk Monday AM. It has been an icy winter here in Michigan -- too damned icy, obviously!

Sorry to hear that. When do you find out if you need surgery?

i'll get a second opinion this Thurs., surgery would soon follow if necessary.

BTW, I will be out of town for a week in mid-March, but may be able to bring CIV on a lap top -- will keep you posted.

i'll get a second opinion this Thurs., surgery would soon follow if necessary.

How was the second opinion?

no second opinion -- apparently can't even pay cash for that anymore. now i need another first opinion before they will reschedule the surgery. my pain in my wrist has now become a pain in the ass.

I haven't received a new file in a couple days. Is everyone ok?

I think I sent mine to Vet on Friday night. I think we decided to not play on the weekends, but it'd odd you haven't got your yet... Veteran, you ok?

I got one Saturday morning and sent it to Vet. I also sent you (Nick) an e-mail Saturday and haven't heard a response.

shoudn't i get the save after you not vet ?

The last file I sent out was Sat. evening.

shoudn't i get the save after you not vet ?

If I remember correctly, the cycle is

Cassembler
Shogu
me
Vet

If Vet sent it out Saturday night, we should be waiting on Cassembler who may not have received the file nor the e-mail I sent as I he hasn't responded.

So, anyone know what's going on?

I sent turn 9 (BC-3460) to Cassembler at 5:52 pm EST on Sat. Feb. 23.

I hope he's ok.

so i guess it's over?

I certainly hope not. It may be in a long pause. Something drastic must have happened to Nick that took him out of contact.

Need a replacement? =-)

Good question. Cassembler was the person that started it, so I don't know how to answer that question. What do the rest of you think?

No guys, I'm here... stopped getting emails from the message board for some reason... I thought I sent off the last save... I'll attach it here, I thought it went to Vet Lurker, but I see it goes to Shogu...


Sorry guys! I really was just waiting around for a savegame...:rolleyes:

It seems we are back on track

I will be out of town and unable to do the turns from Thursday evening March 13 til Wednesday evening March 20.

Do you want to find a sub for that week?

I guess I'd rather not, but if that's what everyone else wants. We've already had one stopage, and this does have a short, finite endpoint. Seems kinda cruel to boot someone after a week, when all they'd get to do is move my scout. But it would keep things moving, and I can set anything up that needs decisions in advance (production queue, research).

That's fine. No pressure from me.

Sounds good to me...

so... you have... a scout.... :trouble:

Am back now. Have played the latest turn and sent it on to Cassembler (late last night).

Welcome back. I hope the time off was fun.

Mostly a conference for work, but I experienced the mud-rain in San Antonio on Tuesday -- very weird!

Mostly a conference for work, but I experienced the mud-rain in San Antonio on Tuesday -- very weird!

How would you describe this? (I live in D/FW). Never heard of 'mud rain'...

BTW- I got a savegame last night (Wed) & sent to Shogu, but not a savegame today (Thursday)...

It didn't come down very hard where I was. It covered cars in a thin coating of mud in other places. Imagine a wet muddy dog that shook itself and you getting spattered by the drops. Apparently it is a 'desert kind of thing' (high wind blows dust up into the rain that is in front of it) but they hadn't experienced it in SAT before.

I received a save file yesterday (Sunday) and sent it along.

Did someone drop the game?

I last received/sent a file at 8:24 pm Weds. Mar. 26, BC-2800.

I will probably not have an opportunity to play my turn until late tonight or tomorrow morning.

Please be patient ;)

No problem. Thanks for letting us know.

Bummer about the PC troubles -- it's always a hassle. Thanks for letting us know.

Yeah, I blew out a power supply a few months back... scared the poo out of me until I realized what it was:eek:. Good luck, let us know if we can help!

Any luck on the new PC?

I already got it . We have even played 1 turn and then game stopped

Last save i have sent BTS_3.13_Rookie_Challenge_BC-2440_to_bamf226.CivBeyondSwordSave (36KB)

When was that? It might help for everyone to notify when they send a turn if we have had a break. Also, perhaps everyone needs to make sure that the savefiles are not being sent to the spam folder?

I haven't seen a save file since the one I sent it out on the 4th. I do not know what year that was as I send directly from Civ4.

Shogu can you resend so I can continue the game?

ahhh, the joys of Windows...

I didn't receive a file this morning. Just letting you know in case you tried to send it.

Haven't received a file since Tuesday evening.

Last file I received was Tuesday morning. I'm wondering if Ankka is having problems. He is typically very prompt and vocal about delays.

Hey guys, looks like I will start some extensive traveling with my job. I'll be in Nashville from Monday to Thursday, for at least the next two weeks (starting next week). I'm not sure if I can get away with loading BTS onto the work laptop...:mischief:

Ether way, it might be a good idea to hand my game off until I know for sure, unless y'all are cool with three or four turns on Friday through Sunday each week (for 2 to 6 weeks). I'd hate to be _that guy_, so you all decide how you want to play it. If you know of a good fill-in, etc. Keep me posted- I'm not leaving until Monday morning.

PS- If possible, I'd like to resume the game when I'm finished (2-6 weeks of this Mon-Thur travel), but if not, I'd still like to know how it turns out.

Since you started the game, you kinda have the final decision on what happens. If you want to find a sub for 2-6 weeks, you can always direct the moves and have the sub make the moves for you. Should be easy enough to send screenshots. Looks like the only problem you have is being able to load BTS on the laptop.

It's fine with me if you want to find a replacement or just try to run turns on the weekends. I'm enough of a control freak that I probably couldn't handle letting someone else run my civ, unless it was someone I knew well enough and could talk to about what to do.

The next question, do you all know of anyone who would like to play? I'm pretty sure this traveling will last the full six weeks... I'd hate to see the game deteriorate, since I'm winning and all:mischief:

Keep me posted, I'm not leaving until Monday morning.

I don't know anyone personally. It seems most games are halting right now because of the new patch. There is a thread for replacements. You might find someone there.

BTW, has everyone updated?

1st post is updated (it's about time). Keep in mind I will be able to check the forums fine.

So I'd say everyone upgrade asap, and stay tuned...:cool:

EDIT: I'm gonna stick with it. First of all, I'm only missing 3 nights a week. Second of all, I may be able to get BTS on the laptop if the ITG guys tell me they won't tell anyone ... ...

I think we might have a problem. I just got the file and have already patched, so I can't open it. This will be a cyclical effect for everyone. What do we do?

I think we might have a problem. I just got the file and have already patched, so I can't open it. This will be a cyclical effect for everyone. What do we do?

Aaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!
There must be some way to update a save game... I'd hate to see us all have to go through the un/reinstall cycle... If it matters, I still have 3.13 if there's a way for me to open it and save it as 3.17...

I'm really not sure what to do.

I've been through a version update in PBEM once before, but forget exactly what has to happen. I'll look back at my emails and see if I can figure it out.

OK, what I think has to happen is: Cassembler, as game administrator, has to "reset the admin password" on the savefile PRIOR to upgrading. Then once he upgrades, load the game and reset the password and it should be OK. Emphasis on 'should be'...

How does one reset the password?

The administrator (person who set up the game) has to do so. As I vaguely recall, you just delete it in-game, then save the turn, then do the upgrade, then open the savefile, then reset the password to whatever you want, then finish the turn, then send the turn on to the next player. Only the admin has to do this, the other players should be able to load the new file once they have upgraded to the new version.

Maybe cassembler can do this and resend the last turn. I hope he hasn't patched yet.

Hey guys I'm back in town. I haven't upgraded. I'll try this process tonight and verify. Stand by for a report sometime tonight, probably 11 or so.

Ok, the process Veteran proposed worked without a hitch. Which makes me wonder:rolleyes: if something went wrong... Perhaps I'm just cynical...

Anywho, sent off 560 to Shogu. I'll be here 'till Monday morning again.

Worked like a charm. Able to open and complete the next turn.

I don't expect we will make much progress this weekend. I will be out of town until Sunday afternoon.

Good news guys, my project will only take two more weeks. This means, theoretically at least, that I will be traveling only until July 18 (instead of early Aug).

Ok i got some strange bug , i lost one turn of production and growth only in my capital , hope that will not be repeating itself in every turn .

Any idea what caused that? Was it a random event that shows up in your log?

No idea . No random event in log.

In 120 BC i am loading turn and finished building granary. When clicking end turn my pop grow up( from 6 -> 7) but i don't have the half food stored. ( that was the first sign that something is wrong).

In 80 BC i am loading turn and situation repeat itself. I have a message that i have finished building granary and have a pop = 6 . When finishing turn i have again pop 7 but no food stored.

I never knew you could see the food in the granary. How do you do that?

Wait -- did you get TWO occurances of the granary being completed in the same city? Or in different cities?

I think if you complete the granary on the same turn that your population goes up, it kicks over to the next population accumulation before accounting for the granary (i.e., all food is gone, you start with an empty bin). If you complete the granary before your population goes up, it should work as you expect with half of the food held over.

Hmmm... Keep an eye on it and see what happens over the next couple of turns.

BTW, I'm back in town all this week.

I have completed my granary twice in the same city :) waiting for the next turn and see what's gonna happen

Who has the current game???

Last turn I saw was BC 120. I sent that a week ago.

I sent BC-0040 at 11:44 pm on 7/28....

So, uh, who are we waiting on??

Oh poop! My bad. Apparently, I had opened the email and never did anything with it... I usually play and send right away.

Please forgive me!

No problem. I've done that before as well

OK, so the last file I sent was at 12:25 am Tues Sept 2, AD-0440. What's going on?

Sorry guys, I've been out of town and just recently moved. I haven't set up an internet connection yet, and will have to transfer save files via pin drive for a week or so. I'll sent a game within the hour, and should be in town next week after Tuesday.

Sorry for not letting anyone know.

Just let us know when it gets started again. No rush.

I can still play- I just have to transfer saves from my work laptop onto my home PC. The laptop has a broadband card, but I don't have the brass to install Civ4 on it.

So we're still on.

Also, good news. Begining in October, I shoudn't be going out of town at all, except the occasional trip.

I'm going to be out of town Oct. 1 - Oct. 5. I'm taking my laptop, but I'm not quite sure if I will have internet access. I expect I will have access in the lobby of the hotel if nothing else. Just letting you guys know.

Guys, I'll be out of town Tomorrow (Tuesday, Oct 21) thru Sunday, October 26. I wish it was vacation, but it is not...

I'll try to catch a game later tonight, but I dunno when I'll check. Otherwise, I'll get it Sunday afternoon. Football allowing...

Guys, I'm back in town. I sent off a game Sunday night.

Sent AD 900 out yesterday, so it should be on it's way back to you.

I haven't seen a turn in quite some time. Where did it get to?

I sent a game off to Shogu over a week ago, and confirmed that he had it and sent it. :confused:

Maybe someone's been playing F3 too much...:mischief:

So you didn't send me next turn ? If so good because i can't make any turns now.

Shogu, I'm not sure what you meant by that last comment. The last save I sent you, you passed it on, yes? I haven't gotten the next turn yet.

Yes i did as i replayed in an email.

But now i have some problem accesing my account , thats why i was asking.

Last file I sent was AD-1020 on Sat. Nov. 8...

The last one I have record of is AD 980 from 11/7. So there is a break between VeteranLurker and me.

I just re-sent 1020 AD to Shogu (Sunday, Nov 23).
