And here I thought it was just my brilliant game play! :lol: That's what I get for playing the game between 2 am and 5 am. Darned Insomnia is not very conducive to the practice or study of anything. BTW: I enjoyed reading your article on popping borders. It gave me a few things to try.

I will check it out, but I thought I always played at Standard/normal/default speed. Though my son may have changed it for some reason. Thanks for the info. Hopefully this is the case. UPDATE: You were correct Woodgar. Somehow it was on "Quick" research speed. I should have noticed...

Were the original cultural victory conditions changed from original CIV IV to different conditions for either Warlords or Beyond the Sword? Tonight I was playing a single player BtS (latest patch) custom game, huge map, no mods, with "Always Peace" and all victory conditions "on". I am...

There was the game SimGolf, which was innovative and fun, if not a very serious Sim effort. :)

Thanks Romulus. That is the the setting we will use then. :) We like long game. I am still playing a civ 3 game which has gone for over a year now.

Sorry for the double post but I forgot to change this to email notification and could not figure out how to do it with the edit button. :)

I am starting a 6 human vs. 6 AI game with my Ugli friends and need some advice from those who have played in a large team game. I realize that keeping the game speed on normal would mean that us 6 teaming together and adding our research with each other's will mean we will blaze through the...

UglyElmo looks into mirror: "It" gets seven years bad luck. Well at least the mirror won't win! :)

For those who may be interested, who played the old Shogun: Total War PC game here is a link to the map I pieced together from the STW single-player Campaign. I used it for several of the multiplayer campaigns I hosted during the hey day of that game. I am not very good at graphics, but it...

You guys will enjoy your big PBEM. I am hosting several smaller PBEMs and one large 3-team game. We each took one of the less experienced players as a teammate and are showing them the ropes. The only problem we have encountered is due to our time zones, which are all over the place from...

Once I get my old PC up and running, I would not mind using it to help anyone host their PitBoss games. Since this PC will be on 24-hours a day, it would be an easy thing for me to host multiple PitBoss sessions. There would be a certain point where it would lag too bad, but I am sure 4 or 5...

Excellent! Looks like I found a use for that old PC in the basement. :) Thanks again for all the help. Once I get the old PC networked, I will be setting up a few PitBoss games, so feel free to join in if you see an "UglyElmo" game.

I was hoping the server would be Firaxis' and not my own. That was why I wanted a bit more explanation. As for the millions of files, it would not be that difficult to do. I play on the Dragon Go Server where there are as many games ongoing. You logon, play your turn, then log out. It...

I must admit I am a bit dissappointed. From the description it appeared the actual game files would be located on the CivIV online server for everyone in the game to download and play. However, the only way I have found to have the game show up in the online lobby is to have PitBoss running on...

Here is my problem: I set up a PitBoss game following the screenshots provided in the first post. When I get to the end screen where do I go from there? Save? Exit? I have not been able to get my game to show up in the internet lobby either. I set the game up as "inernet" instead of...
