sorry about that, its been busy at work and I've also had a few people drop by unexpectedly for a day or two to visit. I've also been trying to figure out my schedule, and I've finally realized that I just won't be able to play this game until march at the earliest (next few weeks involve more...

I'm going to have to skip; I had friends here this weekend and have different friends coming in early next week, as well as being busy at work. So: Snaproll (out of town) Drasca Chriseay (Just Played) Thunderbunny (Skip) Uniqueuponhim (Up Now) Thormdor (On Deck) Atlas (Just Played)...

I don't mind doing a restart, we really haven't gotten far enough in this. I'm not sure how well this will work with 8 people, and I think it'll probably require everyone to have everyone else's contact info. Willing to try it, though I'm guessing with my schedule I probably won't be playing...

I have no mods whatsoever. I also never play MP other than this, so I am of very little use in this case. Sorry :(

did you try with different people hosting? Not sure why, but for some reason Direct (with either person hosting) didn't work for Morred and I, neither did Gamespy with me hosting, but Gamespy with Morred hosting worked. No clue what it worked, but we were just happy that it did.

Yes, password is RB8. see above post (It took Morred and I about 4 hours of constant problems before we could start playing)

The password "RB8" is for the game (for the person joining the host; host doesn't need the password) The password for each civ is the empty string. Just don't type anything when it asks you for the civ password and hit "ok" (I figured this out completely by accident)

Ah, that's the part that I missed. Now i get it. (been up way too late the past few days)

Oh, it provides it for the entire team? I figured it only provided it for the civ that built it. Would it be worth the additional time commitment of our workers to finish the road for #1?

It looks like the monthly bandwith for the hosting service has been used up. ( for example one of the images is posted here: http://www.fileupyours.com/files/10513/RB856.JPG )

For the next round we might want to swap the teams a bit in that case. Morred and I are very geographically separate too (he's in Australia, I'm in NYC), and it might work better w/ similar time zones (then again, it might not, depends on schedules). Future multiplayer game setup might want...

Few notes: 1) we found stone east of germany, however its pretty near mao's 2nd city. Not sure if we can get it before him though. 2) We probably need masonry to get the marble to trade even though we settled on the resource, right? It'll take longer to complete the trade route than to get...

Possibly a stupid question, but would it make sense/be possible for us to found the city w/ japan, then when we need to build wonders trade it to germany to get the wonder production bonus? (never played a MP game before) Germany's first two spots look good to me. Would've finished our turns...

Just in case it wasn't clear, Morred and I got it :)

See it, don't have it yet though. Just got back from a trip and have to go to work tomorrow. More critically, I don't have Morred's IM/contact info yet (might be in the RB forum reply, but that seems to be down). Morred, if you see this, respond to the message please and we'll figure out a time...
