I just finished a scenario, actually for the purpose of starting a PBEM, starting in the future era (i.e. having all technologies) with the world full. :)

Is there anyone who'd like to play it with me?

Players
1. Unregister GMT-5 (Random)
2. WildFire444 GMT-5 (Persians)
3. CivAddict2002 GMT-8 (Germans)
4. DogBoy GMT-8 (Romans)
5. Plexus GMT-8 (Japan)
6. Matrix GMT+1 (Scandinavia)
7. Kevinicus GMT+1 (Arabia)
8. Melifluous GMT (French)

Sign me up Matrix. This is just like the other one i was doing (Advanced Start PBEM) but stalin cant play anymore. If that is Russia (brown) i will be them, or if they are taken i will be the red color which i assume might be Babylon.

Let the wars begin!

Sign me up! I will be green,purple,red,or brown

The colour don't say anything! You may choose your own Civ. :)

By the way, won't it be best if we have no Civ-specific abilities? Only the Americans have a better unit (F16)...

True, in that case, i will choose the Persians just cause i like Xerxes's leader head. :p

I'm available for play. My e-mail is civaddict2002@yahoo.com I don't care what starting position I get. I just want to be the Germans.

Sounds like fun to me. Romans all the way. I guess you are picking random starting positions. gkrgreene@earthlink.net

I'm so in, I'll play as Japan. Me want purple start. :D

Wow! This goes fast!

There are some players here... You can all guarantee you'll be able to play almost every day? (Holidays etc. can go slower...)

And where do you all live?
Matrix: GMT+1
Unregister: ?
WildFire444: ?
CivAddict2002: ?
DogBoy: GMT-8
Plexus: GMT-8

Oh me as Arabia as I see Romans have been taken. :)

Ok! And do you really live in Rome? :rolleyes:

Hmm OK...

Sign me up...

I would love to be pink and French...

Melifluous GMT...(or CET -1) hehe

Bring it on...

Eastern State Time for me and Unregister.

No but in the same time zone. :crazyeye: :D

I live on west coast USA and play around 10pm - midnight.

I've made the sequence as in my first post here. :) I thought this would be the best thing to do if we want to play one turn a day. Only the sequence does matter for who starts where. Here's the sequence:
Player 1: pink
Player 2: cyan
Player 3: green
Player 4: purple
Player 5: blue
Player 6: brown
Player 7: yellow
Player 8: red

The only question is: who's player one? I think that should be random. So I let Excel give me a random number between 1 and 8, and it gave me...5. So that should be Unregister. :)

Does anyone disagree with this? If not, he may start the game and send it to CivAddict2002 and so on and so forth. :rolleyes:

Let's start.

Matrix - I would have joined this but I was too late. :mad: Instead Melifluous and I have decidied to start our own Deathmatch gamer on Deity against 6AI. Should be pretty scary for the first 50 turns or so...

What I discovered when starting tha game is that it appears you are to be able to set the player location independant of the player order.

After loading it in the mulitplayer screen you can add human/AI players as normal, and for each one you can set a number in a box to the left of the player name. These numbers correspond to the player numbers in the editor, and the MP screen won't let you start the game without each having a unique number.

Matix - I was wrong :(

The numbers in the MP screen don't affect start location.

I wonder what they are there for then? And why does it make them all be unique??

Anarres, I know as much as you do. :rolleyes:

Have fun with the two of you. ;) Why don't you simply start a second PBEM with this scenario, asking for more players?

We want to be able to play lots of turns, not just one a day i'm afraid.

With 8 players and so spread out you will be lucky to keep even 1 a day, and 2 is impossible...

Edit: I think that number thing is probably meant to work, yet it is just another bug :rolleyes:

Pink?!?! :hmm: well i kinda just want to start it so i will play it sometime today and send it off to Civaddict....should i put it here or email it directly to him?

It's still "Play By E-Mail". ;) My email address is matrix@straland.com, by the way...

And anarres, I don't think the speed in which someone can play one's turn matters for the progress of the game. More, or only, one's availability to play when the game arrives.

Cyan? What's Cyan? Oh and for diplomatic discussions I am free for talks in ICQ or by email. ICQ = 45959469 :)

Cyan = light blue. :)

Sorry Matrix, I think there has been a misunderstanding. All I was saying was that mel and me can have power sessions where we get to play lots of turns in one night. In fact, I am probably one of the slowest civ players at cfc :)

Hey Kevinicus...


Get MSM...

My login is my Email...

Melilfuous

Where do I get that? I think I had that a long time ago.

hehe

Here Microsoft Messenger (http://messenger.msn.co.uk/)

Melifluous

And what is your email1?!?!!? D:

tut tut tut lazy man :p

Anyway it is stevebroad2002@hotmail.com

You sent the game to me remember?

Melifluous

Oh ya

Indeed I misunderstood. ;) But then still I don't think we'll have trouble playing one turn a day. I think being spread even makes it easier: you're less restricted to a certain time in the day to play your turn.

Enfin, can't wait to play my first turn! :D 't Was a lot of work making the scenario. ;) (Though I'm thinking about making other ones. A series of Deathmatch scenarios... :rolleyes: )

What can I say?

This one is VERY good...

I advise everyone to have a go at this against the AI...

Should be a 'KILLER' game...

Melifluous

ok the order is going to go like this

1. Unregister GMT-5 (Iriquois)
2. Kevinicus GMT+1 (Arabia)
3. Melifluous GMT (French)
4. WildFire444 GMT-5 (Persians)
5. Matrix GMT+1 (Scandinavia)
6. CivAddict2002 GMT-8 (Germans)
7. DogBoy GMT-8 (Romans)
8. Plexus GMT-8 (Japan)

i will try to start it tomorrow...

Erm, I think it's best if WildFire444 is the one just after of before you, Unregister. This would mean he plays his turn at say 17:00, but after that it's my turn where it's 23:00. :eek: And I always go in the assumption that everyone should play his turn in the evening... (That's when everybody's got time.)

This is FAST and VIOLENT.

A quick tip: Mobilise straight away and attack!!

So offence instead of defence? :)

I am on a bloody island, alone and cut off. Darn darn. I hate that kind of position >:|

Originally posted by Matrix

Nice little army after 8 turns :D

The question is, can you get away not doing this if others around you are?

Unregister, you can e-mail me the game. I haven't gotten it yet. If you sent it to me, send it to me again.

Well...the game is up and running. I have sent it to WF444 and he's most likely sending it right now.

The order is:

Me
WF444
Civaddict
Dogboy
Plexus
Matrix
Kevin
Mel

Eager Civaddict? Sent to you.

Do I have a different color now?

Well, you chose to be Arabia and there are no French, so you're light purple. :rolleyes:

I checked the history of these posts and on one of the Unregister asked if he should e-mail me the save or post it here. Didn't know the order had changed. Am I eager? You bet!

Hey, I just figured out where everyone starts. :) (See the first post here.) I think I started quite well, at the corner of the map. (And yes, I honestly randomly selected a player to start the game. :p)

My starting positions SUCKS!

I had starvation my FIRST TURN.

Anyone ready for ICBM war?
:p

Good news is I got the save from CivAddict and played my turn. Bad news is I don't have Plexus' e-mail so can someone post it here? I don't want to hold this up.

I believe you send it here: enemysoldier88@yahoo.com

Having starvation the first turn is actually quite normal, WildFire444. ;) Almost everyone has that...

I only had it in one city... off to Matrix.

Why is accellerated production and civ-specific abilities turned on?? :eek: If I knew about that last one I would've chosen a different Civ! :undecide:

Ah well, I know upgraded my berserks to guerilla's. :rolleyes:

Whoops! I don't have Kevinicus' e-mail address. :rolleyes: Sent him a PM...

BumbleK@web.de but I see you already sent it :D
Also with a nice offer. Where can I meet you for chats and such Matrix? ICQ? MSN? Btw I just sent it to Melif :)

I'm at ICQ: 59830037 and already sent you a message. :rolleyes:

Hehe.
By the way, I had no starvation ^_^

Why are we all so quiet? Are we up to something? :satan:

Nothing you don't know yet. :tank:
;)

Sorry about the Civ special abilities, because believe me, i wouldn't have been Iriquois... I could've swore i turned it off, maybe i did screw up, i just wanted to start it though and it seemed like other people did too.

Yeah well, who'd normally consider turning off Civ-specific abilities? ;)

I accidentally did in my first game every :lol: :lol: :lol: Until my brothers played i didn't realize it, although i should have, you know, never getting the Hoplite...

Doesn't really matter for anyone except the Americans really :)

No? I think military and productive Civs have major advantages! Economical Civs too, but less...

I wish I were romans >:0

Matrix is right. Military, Industious and Commercial traits are all huge bonuses. Expansionist and Scientific are useless, Religous is inbetween.

i am expansionest and religious :(..... The religious will be nice but the expansionist part sucks.

Well thank god you turned it off, I have arabia :|

Since I can agree with Kevinicus, I have one request. Can someone make a very crappy unit so i can get a Golden Age with my Immortal? :p

Seriously though, the Internet will give a GA to whoever gets it right? And who has the game?

Gonna be awfully hard to beat me to the internet... :)

ANd it will be awfully hard for me to get the next turn if you know what I mean....

I really don't... ;)

Enlighten me.

Well, turn one was kinda exciting. Maybe we will play turn 2 sometime?

What a terrifying idea! :eek: I'm still catching breath!

Seriously though, it's very disappointing to notice that no PBEM I play reaches one turn a day. :(
C'mon! Play and send!

OK,

I sent this to Unregister last, so....
If Wildfire still hasn't received this then Unregister has it...

If he doesn't then there was a problem with the mail I sent him and I will resend if he wants me to....

Melifluous

PS. Keeping the dream alive...

Ok, so send it again because i didn't get it. My email is actous22@yahoo.com. I have also been wondering what has taken so long. Just send it to me again at that email.

OK Sent it...

Sorry everyone...
My fault again :(

Melifluous

Ok i finally got it, i played and sent it to wildfire

Okay, I got the game and went to play it, but the file didnt open :(

And i asked Unregister by pming him, and he said that he already deleted the game. I think that Meli should email it to him again.

Off to Matrix.

On to unregister...

Hey man...

Saw you earlier on IRC...

Sorry I didnt say much...Working at the time...

Anyway Enjoy

Melifluous

PS. These save games are a bit big huh?
PPS. Maybe we should zip saves?

We could. ;) Is there anyone who can't (un)zip?

But I haven't had any problems getting any of the saved games that I know of.

That's not the point. It can take a lot of time sending or receiving the savegame.

By the way, I haven't seen the savegame for a long time now.
http://www.straland.com/junk/whereisthesave.gif

I have sent it to CivAddict a couple times. He is saying its the wrong one buyt i just checked and when I loaded it, it was his turn.

CivAddict sent me the same turn I had last week and I told him. He told me Wildfire sent him the wrong one. He sent me the right one today and I sent it off to Plexus.

Ok, but it appears it's all solved. :) Just sent it to Kevinicus.

Someone just wanted to trade with me, but he asked Incense twice? :confused: I want to make a deal with a lot of people: ROP and incense for your luxury. Don't let it take an extra turn. :nono: Take it or leave it. All four of you. ;) (You may remove ROP if you like...)

hehe. ROP in a PBEM game...

...should be fun :D

Hope no one minds, but after an embassy i found something quite interesting. You listening Germany?

http://www.civfanatics.net/uploads3/stupid.JPG

We have a 10 turn non-aggressive pact that I entered with him on the first turn. If I would have payed attention to the map I would have set up a mutual alliance with Japan to attack him quickly. :eek:

Well now that was pretty......ahem, not a good idea.

GPS

Sending soon.

Thanks for posting a picture of my capital Unregister, it saves everybody money from having to investigate it themselves ;) After doing my own investigation, I have noticed a few strange things also :p

Wildfire, don't know who you were telling that was a bad idea to, but it was a good idea on my part. As you have probably seen by now, I'm surrounded by two nations. I had to make peace with one side in order to build up my defenses on the other side.

Game sent to Plexus.

Oh Dogboy. I know you can't tell by the scores right now (somehow I am in second) but once you see my island, you'll see how crappy it really is. Since I played my first turns, one of my cities has starved ever since and is now down to a 6. It has 1 grassland and the rest are hills and mountains. At least its on the coast.

Wildfire, I don't pay much attention to the scores neither. One of my city started out at size 6 and is now down to size 4. And I bet I have worse land that you :) I have tundra, hills/mountains, and forests still. I was mainly poking good humor at Unregister for showing my capitol :love: One thing is for certain though, you can see alliances are being formed quickly so I'm sure the scores will fluctuate in the next 10 turns or less.

I dunno about you Dogboy,

But that seems like a pretty good reason to go to war...

And Unregister,

Please, unless it was intentional, dont post stuff like that on the thread, post it to your 'teammate', funny though it is, we dont really all need to see that...

Melifluous

Isn't it a fault of the scenario? Or have you intentionally moved your units out of your capital? :confused:

By the way, all great wonders should've been deleted, including the Internet, but that one was all the way down, under the space ship parts, in the list in the editor. So I forgot. :rolleyes:

I wonder whether you're all building units (probably modern armor), or first other buildings like manufacturing plant, civil defence, and small wonders. ;)

I also wonder what Civ started best... I think it's WildFire444. An island is very hard to conquer, though very hard to break out from as well...

(Just sent the game to Kevinicus. :))

Well......i couldn't resist posting the screenshot up there. I couldn't believe that he had no one on the city. But fine, i won't paste the other one i got too ;)

I sent you a private message.

Ok i got it and you check your pm :)

Hehe.....i've already went from republic-anarchy-communism-anarchy-democracy.

if your wondering i miss clicked :(

In case anyone has missed it in the F4 screen

Its war you know ;)

But not as you know it...

ICBM anyone?

Glad I didn't have a garrison in there. Still, it did hurt.

Oh me oh my.

Hey WildFire444, I think I have better suggestions than a Stock Exchange for Rome. :rolleyes:

Oh, by the way, I got the Internet. http://www.straland.com/images/smilies/yeah.gif

Crap... I was one turn away...

Same here. :(

Wasn't even bothering :) . Anyways....i played it and now WildFire has to but he won't be able to get to it tonight.

Another player and I have talked over e-mails. I'm not going to post his name in case he wants to remain anonymous. Anyway, this is just my thoughts on this deathmatch game. And no, it isn't a whine, just my observations.

ME: Yup, it's fun alright. Probably be the last time I play a deathmatch game like this, it's all luck and no skill involved.

OTHER GUY: Just because you got nuked ;)

ME: No, not just because I got nuked. That really has nothing to do with it. The problem as I see it is the game is shallow and has no meaning. Yes, every Civ3 game has some luck involved but this deathmatch game is about 95% luck. For example, depending on where you start, if you start next to your friend you can immediatly form a non-aggression pact or alliance and just simply build nukes and nuke others around the world and not worry about building ground forces. I know one can argue that anyone can do that, and that's true to an extent, but you still have to worry about backstabbers. With your friend on your island, you don't have to worry so much about backstabbing. Another example is all the research is done and every unit is available immediately from the start. So you have to decide to either build ground forces for an attack or defense, nukes to nuke the rest of the world, or build SAM batteries and Strategic Missile Defense (SMD) to protect yourself from nukes, but leaves you wide open to a land invasion. If you are unlucky and picked the wrong build, well, game over. If you start on your own island all alone, you don't have to worry about a land attack right away, you can build lots of nukes or SAM batteries and the SMD. Another example is look at the scores for the starting players. That hugh difference between the first place and last place person is based on a lot of factors, mainly luck if you signed up in the correct order and got the better land. It's just luck. It's like playing a regicide game over the net. A lot of people will use their king to scout and pop goody huts, and if their king dies, the game is over. Well so what? They have invested maybe 10 minutes so it's no big deal. They start a new game. And what does the winner get? The satisfaction of winning a game after 10 minutes when all they have done is hit the space bar a few times? This deathmatch game leaves out the most fun (in my opinion) factors of the game: scouting and discovering new land, meeting new civs, trading techs, diplomacy. I wanted to play this game because it looked like fun and I would be able to get into some intense fighting right away. Guess I should have just dusted off the Quake CD. This deathmatch is too much like playing BGH on starcraft. It's shallow and has no meaning. It's not Civ3. No, this isn't a whine because I got nuked. I was already thinking this about 3 turns into the game. If I get nuked again, so what. I've invested maybe 10 minutes in the game? I have probably invested more time typing this than I have actually spent in game. I will continue playing the game just to see what happens, but it's really not enjoyable.

I deleted the rest of our conversation as it had no meaning. But this is how I see deathmatch games. Feel free to flame.

I won't flame. It's indeed a guess what's the best tactic, but you should also reckon it with all the aspects you mentioned. Although no one could've finished the SMD before the first ICBM's are launched.

...:rolleyes:...
No, it's not that much luck. It's not just thinking about what would be the best tactic to start with. This game is far from over, and I think there'll be a lot of reckoning necessary before the winner is determined.

You know the game Risk? When someone becomes too large, you can be assured he'll get more enemies in the benefit of the smaller newly allies. That way the game will keep in balance, until that balance flips.

When someone becomes too large they just crush the little people one by one. :)

Hmm. Well, please don't think of this as a flame, but rather a defending of a rather fine scenario...

This was never going to be a 'normal' civ game, it is what is says, a 'Deathmatch'. As such it is guns blazing from turn 1.

There were/are many options available to everyone:

- Make friends with your immediate neighbour, avoiding a costly initial conflict.
- Kill you immediate neighbour immediately, thereby getting more land
- Make very quick alliances around the world to kill the strongest.
- Pick on the weakest
- Stay out of the fighting if not directly attacked, thereby building an army ready for instnt retaliation
- Betray your alliances to gain quick territory
- Build marines and invade all those undefended costal cities
- blah blah blah....

You have obviously never played Diplomacy or (to a lesser extent) RISK. The idea is to form alliances, they are quickly changing and you must watch your back...

C'mon guys! What did you expect! :rolleyes:

I missed getting in to this game as I didn't check the thread in the 24 hours in which it was open. I suggest you offer your place to someone who wants to play, and maybe you will think twice about joining a scenario PBEM in the future...

Originally posted by Unregister

I don't know. You can't get higher in technology. If all the smaller Civs ally quickly enough, I don't think the bigger will be able to resist.

It more a question of: will the alliance continue till the former big one is completely destroyed, or will the allies see more danger/gain somewhere else?

Anarres sees the fun of this precisely. ;) Perhaps if CivAddict2002 doesn't care, you could take over a completely nuked Civ. :p But the choice is CivAddict2002's.

Anarres, I didn't take it as a flame, and I'm glad we are not turning this into a flame war. I have played Risk, many many games. I never did play diplomacy though. In Risk, yes there were a few strategies but a lot of it wasn't, especially in 1v1 or 1v1v1 games. You just pile all your units on a few squares and keep attacking until you have conquered as much as you can. Then the next person has fewer armies and can do less. The next turn you have an even larger army, rinse and repeat. And when you turn in Risk cards later in the game for 15 or 20 units...steamroll time. It's even worse when you play the computer version of Risk. That's why I stopped playing Risk and started playing Axis and Allies, and eventually the expansion pack to Axis and Allies called The World at War 1939-1945 by Xeno Games. Those games take a lot of strategy and not so much luck. I just don't find much enjoyment playing games based solely on luck unless I'm playing with my kids, then we play Candyland or Chutes and Ladders.

What did I think I was getting into when I joined this deathmatch game? My answer is I don't know. I guess I was thinking I could actually play a game where I didn't hit space bar everytime I got the save for at least 10 turns, and then not see the game anymore because someone refuses to check their e-mail. I wanted to play Civ3, but this doesn't feel like it.

I'm not trashing the scenario. I now everybody's tastes are different. I was just posting my thoughts on the subject in hopes of maybe making the scenario better. I have talked to someone who is playing another deathmatch game and for some reason they can't build nukes. He said he's going to have to use a different strategy in order to win. I'm not saying no nukes is the way to go, but it might be.

Matrix, I know the game is far from over. The game will probably swing to having many different people on top. If I win this game, I'm not going to go back on my opinion and say this was the best game I have ever played.

I have been playing this scenario with someone else and just to tell everyone, once a lot of nukes and ICBM's get launched (not that i have any ;)) the game will get very.....ummm.....er.......tedious. If a lot of your cities are nuked and you only see the game every other day, you may not see a point at continuing.

Noted, Unregister. :rolleyes:

CivAddict2002, I think the biggest difference in opinions is that I think there's less luck involved than you think. But alas.

CivAddict2002, do you want anarres to take over?
Anarres, do you want to take over from CivAddict2002?

Matrix, I'm going to keep playing. I have a theory I want to test out. You could be right about our opinions. Like I said, this wasn't meant to be a whine, just an observation. My intent was to see if anybody else shared my opinion so we could possibly make the scenario better. But if nobody shares my opinion and everybody thinks the scenario is fine the way it is, then obviously I'm in the minority. I know sometimes when you first start something you don't enjoy it because you see only one solution. But then later you see that there are many different ways and you may start to like it (like getting my kids to eat broccoli). Anyhow, I'm going to keep playing.

CivAddict2002, I am glad you are going to carry on. I hope you kick some ass :hammer:

Not about this deathmatch game, but in another one i am playing using the deathmatch scenario two odd things happened.

1) When it started nukes or ICBM's couldn't be built. But the next time it was played (continuing it from the day before) they could be built.

2) I took over a city with two Stealth Bombers in it, and the bombers became mine. I thought airplanes weren't capturable.

Where the heck is this game?

Last one I received was of feb. 10 at 9:19 AM GMT+1. :rolleyes: (Figure it out.)

Yea, that seems about right... What is the last date evreyone has?

I haven't seen the save since Feb 8. I sent to DogBoy and he sent me confirmation that he got it, played it, and sent it.

Is anyone starting a PBEM game (vanilla)? Never played PBEM, I am waiting to have my "virginity taken"

p.s. Promote Lt. Killer to Capt. Killer!!

*BUMP* Anyone know who has it?

DEAD

What was the last date played?

I'll check my last sent savegame as soon as I'm home...

It would be a shame if this one dies.

It would considering its gone the farthest for any game i've done.

I've sent my turn again. :) I know I played it before, but perhaps I forgot to send it. :rolleyes: Probably not, but it happened to me before... Let's just play on. Just redo yor turn.

Sorry everyone, but i'm gonna have to drop out of this pbem game, if it ever continues.

It's taking too long to get going so adios.

F*ck!

Ok, story's over!

It might be held up by Dogboy. He is away on business for this week (I think).

Nope, not with me. I got back in town and there is no deathmatch game in my box. I haven't seen the game in weeks.

Kevinicus?

I resent him the last savegame, but no response. :rolleyes:

It's possible that it is Kevinicus. I know he dropped out of Heihojin Game #3 and I took his place. I don't know if he quit just that game or all games. Maybe the game host of this game could give him a few more days and then retire his civ?

Yeah I aint heard from Kevinicus in about a month

And I am in a 1v1 with him :(

Not good man...

Lovely map here too... :(

Melifluous

I'm the host. How do I let him retire? :confused: It's been quite a few days already...

You just use the Admin password to open his save and than retire.

Oh, so that's what that password is for. :p

But I tried to open it, but that didn't work. But now I remember I'm not the host, but Unregister! I'll send the game to him; than he may retire. After that he should send the game to Melifluous. :)

I am after Unregister arent I? And now that the game has started, he may want to play.

I think you misunderstood...

Unregister is the host. He should load the savegame ment for Kevinicus and retire, so that Kevinicus is out of the game. Then he sends the game to Melifluous, who comes after Kevinicus, and then we can continue, without Kevinicus. :)

That is if Unregister can remember the admins password..... :mad:

:lol: :cry: :lol: :cry: :lol: :cry: :lol: :cry: :lol: :cry:

I believe mel has the ability to hack it if you need him to. :)

Unregister also must know if he can use the 1.21 patch or if he must un-install and use 1.14...

I would MUCH rather use 1.21, but......

...I'm Dutch. :rolleyes: So I can't install 1.21 yet.

Let's ask Mel to hack it. :D It's his turn afterwards anyway... ;)

Ok, I sent the game to Mel and told him the situation. :)

Got the game,

Retired Kevinicus...

Sent to Unregister.

Lets Play

Melifluous

Yahoo!!! I played the game again! It's alive again! http://www.straland.com/images/smilies/banana.gif

The situation is a bit changed now. :rolleyes:

Are there any updates for the lurkers?

Maybe a minimap and a quick list of who is/isn't at war. :)

How bout this little update. Arabia is gone!

And I think the only war is Meli vs Civaddict and Dogboy since he nuked them. And since I thought that lurkers had left this game, I have taken screen shots but their none of your business right now :p

I second that...

Last I saw it was I sent Sep to Unregister.

Come on guys time to post what saves we've seen...

Melifluous

Last one I got was of August...

Sorry!

Just sent to Civaddict2002.

Where is the save now? Haven't seen it for quite some time... :rolleyes:

Well, we managed to kick and scream and scratch and claw and we thought we figured out who was holding up the game. So we retired his civ and played ONE turn. Where is the save now?

Narf, I am back and you retired me, serves me right. Silly computer ^-^
But I would've thought you would've been like...done by now. :P
Civaddict must have it now men. :D

I don't have it. Even though I keeping getting nuked I keep playing and passing it along. I figured the game was just dead again.

Don't have it.

Me neither.
