5CC Regent Training Game

[killerkid]

Sorry Hawk-The earliest I can play is friday afternoon (EST) and only for an hour then. Saturday I can do my set though, or whoever is scheduled for then.

Great job, overseer. All of that destruction in one turn requires careful planning and positioning. Well done!!

 

[Tasslehoff]

I, too, can't do my set until Saturday. Overseer, Steel, anybody care to take an extra set between now and when Hawk can play?

 

[TheOverseer714]

We all seem to be weekend warriors. It would hardly be fair for me to hog all of the fun after already playing 10 turns. I would say whoever can take it first besides me should play next. Chox, it's too bad you aren't a tech head and can fix your family computer to alow you to play. If I could, I would fix it for you. I could offer some technical help if your dad would let you.

 

[choxorn]

I'm not sure how you could help. The problem is just simply THE COMPUTER DOESN'T RECOGNIZE THE EXISTANCE OF THE DISK DRIVE. So, any CD we put in there, whether it be PTW, a Music CD, or anything else, the computer won't read it, and won't let us open it, period.

And we have no idea why.

 

[TheOverseer714]

It depends, it could be good news, the drive works and you have software or driver issues. The bad news could be that it's fried and needs replaced. You need someone to tech support you through the process of finding which is the answer. I assume you have no family or friends that are tech-heads who can help you. If you were willing to trust me, I can try.

 

[Tasslehoff]

You just happen to live a couple states away...

 

[TheOverseer714]

If he is running XP, which I assume he is, there is a feature called remote desktop that allows someone else to work on their computer over the internet. There's also much that could be done via IM with a knowlegeable computer user. With the right guidance, there might be a solution. I know that there could be a driver issue, or the software for the drive needs re-installed. There are many things that are fixable without messing with nuts and bolts.

 

[killerkid]

Sorry Choxorn-since I am a little younger than you, I know nothing of technical computery stuff.

 

[Elephantium]

Being young doesn't necessarily mean technically-ignorant. Troubleshooting skills come from interest in computers, not from age.

 

[choxorn]

The best way of fixing it would probably be a new computer. If I manage to get a new one, or fix my current one so that it can run PTW, before the end of the game, can I get a turn?

 

[Tasslehoff]

If nobody posts a got it by tomorrow, I'll take it and play.

 

[killerkid]

Sounds good Tassle.

 

[Tasslehoff]

The OTHER continent:

 

[killerkid]

OK-I'll wait for the set and play tomorrow morning if possible.
If you can get the set up before 12 noon EST-I can post almost certainly before 2 or so.

 

[choxorn]

LOL, the Germans, Americans, and Iros combined are smaller than you!

Why disband slaves?

Huh, I didn't know the other continent and your continent looked exactly the same.

Roster:
Tasslehoff: Just Played
Killerkid: UP
Overseer: On Deck
Hawk: Was skipped
Steel: On Long-term skip
Choxorn: Waiting for parents to buy a new computer...

 

[Tasslehoff]

I disbanded two slaves because they wouldn't be able to get anywhere without being captured. This way, I don't let anybody get them. Also, we don't have anything to do with them. We have like 7 stacks of 8 workers in the middle of our territory, waiting for pollution to clean up, and probably a hundred fortified in different colonies.

 

[killerkid]

This is my got it-Tassle is right-I'll do 6 turns.
Should post by 2 EST.

 

[killerkid]

I have a dilemma:

I have searched and searched and can't find my Conquests CD.
I need that CD to play PtW.
However, I can play Conquests without my CD.
I tried loading Tassle's save in Conquests and it worked. It still had its PtW properties. (No Ancient Cavalry in the civilopedia)

When I copy the save file into PtW from Conquests, it appears there, but I can't test it to see if it works.

If I play my set in Conquests, will you guys be able to load the save??

To try it, here is the save, but in Conquests:

[Tasslehoff]

killerkid- Unfortunately, playing it in conquests means that only people with conquests will be able to continue. PTW doesn't support Conquest-loaded saves. It tells you that the file is corrupt.

 

[choxorn]

Actually, Hawk's the only one who doesn't have Conquests, but I can't load it either- stupid "Please Insert CD" Bug!
