Considering starting a PTBS 24 hr game based on Earth 1000 AD

All the other games that I am in are patched and this one is not... So until this game starts with the patch I am going to be unable to play my turns... If there are no plans to use this patch I guess I'll have to be replaced unless someone can tell me how to use two different versions of the game at the same time...
 
Below is the advice that I took for a double install, this is from pre-patched status so if your patched I guess you have to do a reinstall first -


This assumes that you have not patched and still only have version 200, if you have patched you will have to uninstall WL's and reinstall WL ver 200 from the CD.

1. Open windows explorer, and navigate to C:\program files\firaxis games\Sid Meier's Civilization 4\

2. You should now see a folder called Warlords, right click and drag that to your destop, when you release your mouse it will give you the option of copy or move please chose copy. You now have a copy of the original ver 200 folder.

3. Click on the folder name on the desktop folder, and change it to Warlords200, hit enter to finish the change.

4. Now move(not copy) that folder back into the "Sid Meier's Civilization 4\" folder, you should now have a Warlords folder and a Warlords200 folder.

5. Now you can feel free to patch via the WL's lobby or D/L from a fan sight. Unfortunately the Firaxis installers will only patch the WL's version that was originally installed, and it has no option to change folders. Which means that it will patch the orginal Warlords folder to 208.

6. Now you can create a shortcut to the exe in the Warlords200 folder to your desktop and after renaming it warlords200 you will now have a shortcut to 200 and the original 'Launch Civ4 Warlords" shortcut will launch ver 208, you can rename that shortcut Warlords208 if you like as well.

Now your off to the races, just becareful never to enter the MP lobby with ver200 or it will want to autopatch, just use 200 for your PBEM or DirectIP MP games.

Cheers CS

Sorry guys, but I already patched the game because all my other Warlords games are patched, I really don't feel like uninstalling WL and reininstalling for just one game (especially one where I am dead last), so I guess just go ahead and replace me in this game...

I got an OOS message after an attack and cannot connect since then. EDIT: connection works fine now.

Setting Wang on AI would be helpful I guess.
 
If you switch him to AI that will help us playing faster turns. Plus it will create a better defense than if nobody plays that civ at all. If not too late already ...

Yea, I'm fine with making me an AI... If I still exist once this game starts up with the patch then I'll check back to see if I'm still around...


CrazyJoe/Wang is now AI.
 
Trying to login now for about 40 minutes. Connection with host always broke down. Now host doesnt answer anymore according to my comp. Can you please check if the server is busy with something else? I wouldnt like to forfeit this turn ... :(
 
While playing the latest turn (860 bc) I saw a message broadcast to all ingame players from Agemo (China) about double moves. I'm not sure this dm thing has been clarified and I'm trying to play with the spirit of fairness so let me ask this...Two turns ago, I declared war on China and took a worker of his that same turn...was that illegal? I know it was stupid cause Agemo took the worker back (at least, I think so) the next turn. Also, during the latest turn, Agemo and I were both coincidentally logged in at the same time. I logged in second but finished my turn first. Looking at the previous turn login times, that, in essence, created an unintentional dm on my part...any ruling on this? In retrospect, I guess it would have been fairer for me to have logged off upon seeing someone I'm at war with logged in first...phew!!...this dm stuff can get complicated...even more so considering the fact that I work 12 hour shifts and so have very small windows of time in which to log on and play my daily turns. :confused:
 
I think in one of the previous posts there is a ruling. Basically you should allow your opponent to move in between you turns or wait at least 12hrs before you make your next move. E.G. You, Opponent,You,Opponent,You,etc.
This is my interpretation anyway.
 
The game shut down during agemo's turn last night.

I was able to reload the game from plattfusses recovery save, so Agemos turn is not complete, and Plattfuss is not shown to have properly ended his turn, so both players need to verify that the recovery save has a complete representation of their turns.
 
Agemo, can you please try to make your moves early in the turn, ideally within the first 12 hours? Like this it will be easier for me to avoid double-moves. This turn it wont be a problem since I can still play it in the last hours of the timer countdown (9 a.m. local for me), but this might not always be the case.
