We have been messing with mods of Civ 4 again and finally tried pitboss to start our games. It makes a HUGE difference in how well they start! We deal with some odd network issues - two of our players share a home network for example - and using pitboss smooths all sorts of things out. We tried...

If so, what mods do you use and how well do they work for MP? Also, does anyone know a mod that has archer bombard and improved artillery functions that they have had experience with in MP and that worked well? We've tried some and like the features, but not had good success with them...

My friends and I finally decided to give Civ V a try yesterday, but were unable to get a mod loaded and ended up playing Vanilla Civ V. Quick research seemed to indicate its not set up to play mods in MP. Is this true? Did I waste my $13 this weekend? Vanilla is way too linear, predictable and...

I've been playing MP Civ IV for a long time. Recently I upgraded my computer and installed Win XP Pro 64 bit (instead of the 32 bit we've all been using). Now when I play MP with my friends, I get OOS in the early game. Is there something that I need to do with my OS to fix that, or should I be...

I was wondering what has been happening with ROM MP. Has anyone done anything with it? Has the RevDCM been fixed for MP play? Let me know what's up! :)

I figured it would be great to know what systems DO run the game, what actually it takes to have it run at all, what it doesn't run on and what runs it well. Any takers?

The title pretty much says it all. Where do I go to download the demo on the 21st? I'll be gone most of the day, my computer might as well be doing something useful. :)

I've forgotten how to set up the shortcut so that it automatically starts the mod I want. I'm playing a couple of different mods lately and would like to just start each one directly from the shortcut to save time. Thanks!

I know you intend to "fix" multiplayer in the next version of RevDCM, but was wondering if the serious and unplayable bug can be fixed for this version? Up until now we've been able to enjoy playing ROM with revolutions and barb civs on with a few problems we could handle. With the latest...

I'd like to start a thread for those playing 2.8 detailing their experiences with MP play, what problems they have and how they've worked around them, what works and how it plays. Ask technical questions here and maybe someone can answer them. :) Thanks!

Sorry, I couldn't resist being the first to post here... hehe

First I think it would be a great idea to sticky a thread on multiplayer questions, OOS and various solutions. Secondly, we are having a connection problem tonight. We tried a different player hosting and got the game up and running previously just fine. Tonight we tried to load the saved...

We are playing BTS, ROM 2.71 and have had some OOS problems. What seems odd about them is that it is always the same computer (or both my husband and mine when he plays) that go OOS. We are not hosting. I am aware that Civ IV is set up as a client/client situation and that it has to do with...

We are playing version 2.71 multiplayer now and getting quite a lot of OOS. I know there is a logger, but I'm not sure where it is, or how to use it. Do we all have to log the OOS for it to be useful? I'd appreciate directions. :) Also does anyone know why one computer is almost always the...

Have you tried 3.19 with ROM 2.7? How has it worked out for you? Will it run well with Revolutions on? Any settings that cause problems? We're considering making the move soon, so I'd really appreciate any advice and experiences you've had with the latest version. Thanks!

I just installed Ubuntu 9.04 on our "extra" computer so that I can learn how to use it and I'd like to install Civ 4 BTS and RoM on it too. I haven't even set up the OS yet, I'm a total noob so would need a lot of hand holding. Any Ubuntu jocks out there willing to help me get it going? If I can...

We are playing the RoM mod multiplayer and find that sometimes in the larger games when the turn turns over and an AI contacts a player, it will cause a crash. The theory is that the heavy graphics/processor load of the leader head with animations along with the end of turn processing is causing...

Ok, what IS marsh good for? Is there some way to easily turn down the amount of worthless marsh that spawns? Unlike jungle, it never does really turn into good useable land and there seems to be a LOT of it in the game. 2.502 right now, but still too much. Is there some way to change it so...

I don't know if many of you play multiplayer or not, but this version so far has worked very well for multiplayer. One thing we noticed is that the financial civs have a HUGE bonus in research because of the extra commerce. Increasing research gives a huge lead in all other things too. We...

I just wanted to mention to anyone playing this mod multiplayer that it seems to work great as long as you turn off the Revolution portion of it. We just started testing it without Revolutions and had hours of gameplay without a hitch! Yay! I miss the city rebellions, but turn up the level and...
