C3C "101" Top level COTM players PBEM

[akots]

I have checked with a mock scenario and looks like it is not Deity. And just wanted to remind that whoever starts the game (Loulong) has to load a random tiny map before starting the game. Also wanted to make sure preserve random seed is on. Apparently we need to restart.

@E-man: You visit or permanently here?

 

[Kuningas]

I can confirm, it's not deity. Restart it, please.

 

[EMan]

@E-man: You visit or permanently here?

If "here" is Houston, then YES I've been in the city for most of the last 30 years!....I see that there are a few other Houstonians on CFC.

Where's the "spoiler" tag?

Trivia Answer: HOUSTON.......(, the Eagle has landed.)

 

[LouLong]

@ all : sorry for the delay. My MesoAmerica MP file seems to be corrupted. Everytime I change the level it goes back to "any", meaning it would be just like before.
I have asked Akots (but anybody else with the US version of it can do it) to send the file to me as I cannot do anything with mine.

@ Eman : sorry for the troubled start of this first PBEM. But better fix it now.
Spoiler tag ... er... don't remember where but it is as it was announced by TF 1 or 2 months ago. Will try to dig it out.

 

[Kuningas]

Spoiler :

spoilers are fun

[ spoiler ] ... [ /spoiler ] without spaces.

 

[akots]

Better make a separate thread imo for spoilers. Or do it at CDZ.

Scenario being double-check and will be sent to Loulong shortly.

 

[EMan]

Yes, I'll do a separate spoiler thread for my game.....keep it simple approach!

 

[akots]

Ok, scenario has been sent. Hope it is OK. Have not edited anything, only difficulty levels. But it might be a good idea to post it here as well just in case. (Attached).

 

[LouLong]

OK I think I have found the problem.
It is linked to Deity.

The file Akots sent me (as well as the one attached here) both have level in "player properties" back to "any". So does not change much from the problem I had before.
Now I tried on monarch, emperor, demi-god and Sid and it works fine ! ????
Apparently it is a bug related to deity somehow, at least on my computer/C3C (Europen version).

So in order to solve the probem once and for all, I suggest you select another level, demi-go or Sid so that we can really make it start now...

Don't ask me why and how though...

 

[Justus II]

Or you could change the Emperor settings to match the Diety settings?

 

[LouLong]

Man, that's a good idea.

 

[akots]

Well, works fine with me, don't really know. Apparently a version-specific bug it is or something else. When the file is loaded in the editor then the problem starts but for the game it is OK since the settings appear to be saved but not retreived back. There are a few things to change though to make Emperor or Demi-God to Deity. I would be fine with Demi-God probably. No Sid please-please. Might be due to 1.22 patch since the map has been created probably with PTW editor.

 

[LouLong]

Demi-god (using Deity level bonus) save for turn 1.

I rushed (I want it to start but also want to "sleep") but I copied settings directly from one ot the other and normally unhappiness has been taken care of.
Tiny map loaded before. AP off, preserve random seed...

 

[akots]

Looks fine this time apparently. Game played and sent to Sapa-Inca-Kuningas cross the whole country from Mexican Gulf to Finland which is a long way in both cases.

 

[EMan]

Demi-god (using Deity level bonus) save for turn 1./QUOTE]
Well I am a bit confused about that!?

Then, when I received the game from kuningas, it said Regent level!?

Please clarify someone!

Edit: Thanks akots

 

[akots]

Never mind what it says, it is Deity (at least looks like one). It always says Regent unless the difficulty is set up in multiplayer window which is impossible to do with this scenario but has to be set up by editing the rules.

 

[akots]

Turn 2 sent to Cuzco.

 

[Kuningas]

Turn 4 sent to EMan.

 

[EMan]

@LouLong:
1. Is Scientific Great Leader (SGL) switched "ON" for this game?.......AND, if you get an SGL can it be used to build anything?
2. Do you want us to post here when we email our game to the next player in rotation?

@Kuningas:
Did you change your name from kuningas to Kuningas....or am I just imagining things?

 

[akots]

Turn 5 sent to Cuzco.

@E-man. As you probably know, PBEM games can die. So, sending GPS and posting in the thread seems to help keep them alive. Not always true though since they tend to die even with that but sometimes it is working. Also mail can be lost or something else happens... It is a long way, even making 1 turn/day still 3-4 months to finish.
