Sorry - didn't have thread reply notifications turned on :-( I followed the instructions here: http://forums.2k.com/showthread.php?272271-Pitboss-Instructions I made mine a private game, so it doesn't show up in the internet list, but if you key in the IP address (or click the link in the...

I've never tried hosting a public game, but do you have port 27016 (UDP) forwarded from your router to your server? I've been hosting a private Pitboss game for months and clients can connect over the internet just fine as long as the port is forwarded.

Just to close the loop on this - turns out the two players having trouble didn't have the same DLC as the rest of us. I thought we had all agreed on the DLC everyone should have in advance, but apparently not... After we synchronized everyone's DLC and I made a new game, everyone was able to...

Not sure if this belongs in MP or Troubleshooting? Mods feel free to move as appropriate A group of friends & I are trying to start a pitboss game. I've got a separate PC setup, with a separate Steam account with it's own copy of Civ V complete (thanks 75% off sale on Steam!). I started the...

Oh man - I may never play "vanilla" Civ BE again with awesome mods like yours! :-)

Agreed. I don't like how they "fixed" TDs by simply making them unbuyable - that feels very arbitrary and pattern-breaking. But I'm fine with this fix for now, as a means to improve the overall balance of TRs. Maybe a future patch will see another iteration - I sort of like the idea...

I ran into Mustakrakish's bug as well - I'll try to get a log saved the next time I play it. Also, just wanted to let you know - I just installed the Aspyr port on my MacBook Pro, copied your DLC/mod over and it seems to work out-of-the-box! Didn't play an actual game yet (just started turn...

Grrrr... Lost a game to a friend's Mindflower because I only had a ship in the area, and I could bombard it to zero health, but without a land unit I couldn't actually capture it! Beat my Emancipation Gate victory by just a few turns... if I had planned better (and/or known about the land unit...

For what it's worth - was at a LAN party 2 weekends ago, and had a 7-player (+1 AI) game run to completion. Had a fair share of desyncs, but the game never crashed out (I was hosting) - just would get a little choppy when someone desynced, and then we'd jump to the loading/sync screen and it'd...

This bugs me too -- if I *just saved*, I don't need the computer warning me I'm exiting without saving. I know it's a little thing, but still...

Played my first Apollo game yesterday, lost to PAC Contact victory around T100 on QUICK. Glad to hear that's just kind of a fluke - there's really nothing I could have done to stop it. I saw the wonders being completed, but I was at war with Slavic on tough terrain, and PAC wasn't really...

+1 I don't think the game is actually all THAT unbalanced. Maybe I'm just not at the tier of player skill that everyone else is (I haven't tried Apollo, never played at Diety in previous incarnations), but I generally like the balance. There are a few things that I consider out of whack -...

I was playing on easier difficulties, but I've had no issue with the AI being friendly (when I'm not war-mongering). AI definitely seems to frown upon war-mongering -- which is probably reasonable :)

Good insights! I have a few minor disagreements / thoughts of my own based on my first few games: * I like trade routes - I like making the decisions about which cities to trade with, I like evaluating whether to go internal TR for food/prod vs foreign for sci/energy. I totally agree they...
