Civ4 Warlords - OT game?

[azzaman333]

Large map, perhaps we can get a custom map made for it.

I'd prefer a random Fractal map. Large is good.

Barbs on, but not raging.

I believe Raging barbs would be more fun (due to normal barbs disappearing very quickly when there are many people on a map)

 

[Truronian]

What if we all choose three leaders we would like to be, and then I'm sure we can find an optimal solution. If not then random will have to do.

My three would be:

Churchill
Brennus
Saladin

 

[azzaman333]

My top 3;

Hannibal
Mansa Musa
Montezume

 

[IglooDame]

Okay, tell you what. Everyone PM me (and give me a few min to clear some space in my PM box) with your top three choices. I'll run through and give everyone possible their first choice, then second, then third. If I'm unable to give anyone even their third choice, we go completely random, otherwise we'll go with the 3-pick selection, k?

 

[Kan' Sharuminar]

Sounds good...and done

 

[azzaman333]

PM'ed my updated list.

(I'm leaving my old list as propaganda )

 

[ComradeDavo]

I have PM'ed my 3 choices.

 

[CIVPhilzilla]

I would love to, I just hope my work schedule and summer school work allows it.

You need 10 minutes a day to do 3 clicks.

The turn timer is set for 24 real hours, It should be easy to fit in a spot to click 3 times in the game.

I have a killer busy schedule but I manage to do my daily turns.

 

[Truronian]

If you do really well you may even end up with a four or five click empire!

 

[ComradeDavo]

So I'm not too late to join? (If I am, just ignore this) I haven't done this sort of game before, but I'd be interested in playing one if I can. (The only similar game I played was a Civ3 email game, and my save files never made it to the next player....) Forgive my ignorance, but how exactly does one go about setting up or playing this type of game?

Welcome aboard!!

First, you have Warlords installed, right?

Then, go into the initial Civ4 game setup screen, select Multiplayer, then Direct IP, then at that screen your name (Elrohir, I assume) goes in the Player Name block, and I'll PM you the IP to put in the Network Address block. Leave the Password block blank, don't worry at all about the Host Game chunk of the screen. Then, select a civ (you can do any un-taken civ right now for testing, but on Friday you'll already know which one you've got) and hit Connect. The first time you connect (both today and Friday), it will prompt you to create a password so that from then on no one else can log in to your civ. Give it a test prior to Friday and let me know how it works. Any questions, feel free to ask anyone here or PM me.

Cool, can you get him to confirm here though?

Problem is people forget they voted half the time!

silver 2039 - You haven't posted in this thread for awhile - you still intrested?

Elrohir - welcome, and no it's not late we'd be glad to have you aboard!

Also - anyone else wish to play? We go up to 18!

And could everyone PM their top 3 leader chocies (in order) to IglooDude a.s.a.p!!

Lets get this thing on!

 

[Raisin Bran]

Just make sure we start the game friday during the day, because im leaving town until sunday. Im leaving friday at 5:00 pm.

 

[IglooDame]

And actually, the limit is 17 rather than 18. The box within pitboss where I select human vs AI vs closed/civ/leader only lets me scroll down to the 17th entry.
