    ISDG 2012 - Server Announcements, Connection Issues and Questions

    I've had the same experience Dave describes, at least in the sense that it seems to be generated by people disconnecting wrong and is fixed by restarting the client. I've never had anything like 100% bandwidth used, but I have 35/mb upload bandwidth so that may help. In the game I host the...

    Ok, I'm caught up in the thread and do indeed have it.

    Ok, I'm happy to play the turn in order then, I just wanted to make sure.

    RB1 - Let's get started

    To clarify, the turn order goes Sciz -> sunrise -> darrell -> regoarrarr -> back to sunrise? Is that because we were out of sync but now we're getting back in?

    Civ5's obsolete-unit hammer conversion is sure a lot better. Because IIRC in Civ4 when a unit obsoleted your save file corrupted, your civ install deleted itself, and your hard drive platter shot out your CD tray. Or am I thinking of something else?... ;) Re: Gold - in the instant case I think...

    I'm fine with a settler swap. With the nature of research in Civ5 I didn't like a library build. I avoided a settler myself because the city was low-pop and I was reluctant to unilaterally stop its growth.

    Agree, looks good.

    Nice report Sciz. One general thought: this is the first time I've fired up Civ5 since my last turnset. Video games are my biggest hobby in terms of weekly hours, and while I spend most of my time focusing on work, family, etc, I still find time to play. The fact that the only full-price game...

    Correct, and I can say "got it" here now as well. I'll play tonight, after reading over the thread (no RB or CFC for 5 days!)

    RB1 - Let's get started

    Wow! So I fired up Civ4 because of regoarrarr's awesome screenshot idea, with the plan to include one screenshot for flavor. I decided I'd do the "Henge has been BIDL" shot since it made sense. I fired up a Quick Speed Deity game was Washington, and seeded Ramesses and Bismark as rivals...

    Ok, I start the turn by posting the three bugs I encounter before I actually move any units over in the RB bug thread. The Alpha Test continues ladies and gents! :lol: Also, I wasn't able to load the game via clicking on the save on my desktop, nor was I able to manually direct Civ5 to grab...

    @regoarrarr - Ok, that was a classic post. I'm sorry I didn't see it until now. I actually guessed that you were going to use a digital camera and photograph your screen. That was much better.:goodjob: I don't think so, but you can see if a city state is allied with an AI. In that case I've...

    Ok, I'm sold on the SE option.

    Checking in. What about moving to the tile between the settler and the marble? Would Civ5 borders let us work the sheep and silver? Are there enough hills?

    SGOTM 12 - Barley Demons

    I prefer warrior first I think. But we've had this discussion before I'm sure - better to put ourselves in a position to finish the game midpack, or either die or win in a coinflip? Worker first is definitely the better long-term option, but only assuming we don't die on t10. Also, and sort...

    I still like NE. Settling in place is crazy IMHO, giving up the clams forever. Re: picking up the fish versus the rice, just settle a city 1W of the fish (getting the post-lighthouse 3-food lake tile).

    Keeps the rice, looses the fish, right? Basically, I tend to prefer my outside-the-fat-cross food resources to be towards the enemy in a competitive game versus the AIs.

    I think I'd plant 1NE.
