Civ4 Temporary Leave Announcement Thread

I should catch up my turns tonight, and begin playing more regularly for a while. Thank you for understanding.

For those who want to know...
Spoiler :

Regarding my son
He is 13 years old. At this point we are not dealing with life or death. He has been diagnosed with an autoimmune disease. If they can not figure out treatment his esophagus will completely close up and he will have to live off a feeding tube. Right now his diet is just highly restricted as the esophagus is hardening and making it difficult to swallow. There are other things but that is the basics of it. So from time to time my schedule will be taxed with all the doctors, tests and just wanting to be with him.

My sister
They believe they found what is causing her problems and she is on the mends. She might even be home for Christmas.
 
Yes, may the wonders of modern technology put an end to the suffering of your beloved ones.

It seems Nighthawk has disappeared, and I guess I know why: The last thing he said to me before his sudden absence was that he was about to start a game of Fall From Heaven 2 to see what it is like. Nobody´s heard anything from him ever since. :shifty:
I do hope he isn´t so entranced by the mod that he forgets to eat.
 
Beh, how can people like real history and things like zombies and magic at the same time. Either -or!

Actually I like real history, fantasy AND even Sci-Fi. :p
 
Cleared my cookies for the first time in a long time today and alas I can't get back onto PBEM tracker! I sent an email to the admin but I have no idea what my password was... I hope to hear back soon and get my games moving again!
 
While it does not work you can always send the file by email or upload it in the respective threads...

Thanks Luthor, good point. I had a revelation this morning though and successfully hacked into my own account! So I will get these games moving again shortly...

I have lost my laptop, that atm. is the only device with Civ4 on, my currently stationary device, got upgraded recently with new motherboard, making my ide-dvd drives obsolete. I need to invest in a sata-dvd drive to install civ again, in the meantime, i cant play any of my turns, sorry for the inconvenience.


Solution found, im back in games, sent the games, i upholded.
 
hi guys,
just wanted to let you know that we are having serious and constant blackout issues in Buenos Aires (some neighborhoods without energy for more than one month)
and well, i woke up this morning without energy in my block... so, not sure when i´ll be able to play my turns again :mad:
i hope power gets restored soon... but i really cant tell. is a mess down here =(
sorry for the inconvenience!
 
Wow, I wasn't sure about entire country but blackouts in capital?

Argentina has the first best quality of life in Latin America.

yep... dont wanna get into political stuff, but it´s basically explained by an horrendous energy policy that took place during the last 10 years. this is just the obvious result.
 
Good news, bad news...

Good news: work is giving me a new laptop! Hoorah! Hopefully faster speeds, better graphics (I can finally put on "high" graphics for a 2005 computer game and not single unit graphics!) and quicker loading speeds, especially for mods!

Bad news: I will need to re-install BTS with the patch and countless (well more like 10-12) mods in order to get playing again. I still have my old laptop but received the notice today that my new one will be arriving shortly. So... if ya'll see me disappear and not do turns for a couple days, this is why. Especially modded games, i will need to find my way back to reinstall all the mods. My download speeds at work will be slow, so I need to find the time in my personal time at home, which could be a few days.

Sorry for the upcoming delays.
 
Make sure you install as per my thread ... especially if you want mods to work.
 
Sorry for the upcoming delays.

I got brand new laptop with Windows 8 on Christmas and did everything in one night. Really enjoying graphics for the first time, but multiple units make crowded games even more crowded, I have relaxed that setting. No special tricks, except manually downloading the 3.19 patch. Mods -- simply copy them from old to new laptop, with flash drive (unless you can establish direct USB connection).

Thanks for this. Unfortunately since its through my job, I won't have the ability to copy the mods over, they will just give me the new one and take the old one :p

Not happening until next week though I found out, so I should be good through the weekend, pending having the time!
