[Sarge85]

Looks fine to me.

Sarge

 

[Giraflorens]

I know, so i put them before me

so we will get the wonders before you!!

I've seen Ruff is an "old gamer", i suggest he plays with one arm only!! (just kidding)

let's vote for the map, which are the options?

 

[guille]

i think everything is ok

 

[burlicconi]

Problem is that I wond be able to play until sandey (i go on trip)...
So, if you agree to wait me unti lthen....
Or just start game and I will play my turn when I come back...

P.S. About turn orders- I'm not afraid. I'll build ALL wonders

 

[guille]

Ok.

So if everybody is agree with play turn schedule:

Josgalo
Giraflorens
Guille
Burlicconi
Sarge
Ruff Hi

could we start the game this weekend?

I suposse Josgalo must start the game and send it to Giraflorens, isn't?.

 

[burlicconi]

Yeah... We need to send our emails to him nd then he makes the game.
He must set up settings also, as we agreed before...
I think it's standard???? size, no tech trading, unrestricted leaders ????, random leaders???
map is fractal, big and small?????

 

[Giraflorens]

Not OK for turns order - I think Guille who is the Thread starter has the honor of Starting the game, and he'd be the first of the list. If you have problems send a trial game to me (ftyugueros arrba hotmail com) and I'll check it out. Also we can make the first turn for checking if everything is allright, if not we restart.

OK for size Standard
OK for no tech trading
OK for other options ON

Not OK for unrestricted leaders.
Ok for randon leaders/civ.

OK for Map - Tectonics

 

[josgalo]

I agree with Giraflorens, guille must start the game.
Happy with settings but not ok with unrestricted leaders.
My email is josgalo arrba gmail dot com

[guille]

Sorry, i was far away home for a couple of days.

Please, you can correct me if i am wrong:

About the next screen capture, have i to put any administration password?

Are the others settings like we was talking about?

[ruff_hi]

I would include an admin password as it will stop others from changing settings, etc. Just remember what it is as you will need it if a patch comes out.

 

[burlicconi]

I think all is oK. Maybe admin pass, just like ruff hi said...

 

[Giraflorens]

I find it oK, too.

Ruff, i'm playing a PBEM with BTS 3.13, do you know if is possible to update the game to the new patch?

 

[ruff_hi]

if you have the admin password it is. There are procedures kicking around here somewhere - I'll see if I can get you a copy.

Edit: here you go ...

We need to upgrade the game. The administrator has to do it. A friend of mine sent me this e-mail.

This means that I have to be the one to update the game by first loading it using the previous version, removing the admin password, saving the game, reloading the game with the new version, resetting the admin password, and then playing my turn. While this is a hassle, it is a much better option than remaining on the previous version. Hence, we will be updating these games to their new versions - but please retain a copy of the previous version of Civilization IV and Civilization IV - Warlords (if applicable) to that you may continue to play turns in those of my games that have not yet been updated.

This means that whoever started the game needs to be the first one to upgrade it. As soon as the game administrator upgrades it you need to let the rest of us know so we can play this game with the new save. Unfortunately, that means you may have to play with two versions of the game until all your PBEMs are upgraded. That's a simple process. All you have to do is copy the entire Civ4 folder. Rename your new Civ4 folder to whatever you want (such as Civ4 Old Version). Then patch your current Civ4 game to the new version. Then just play whatever game you are playing with whatever patch the game is on until all your games are played using the current version. As soon as that happens, you can delete your "Civ4 Old Version" folder.

 

[Giraflorens]

Got it, Ruff. Thanks a lot. I didn't think it was so easy.

Indeed it's easier that using your program for automatic sending of saves. I read it 2 o 3 times and didn't understant it.
