There's a new Roman player? Finally. As an AI, its being stupid.
Forgot to say that the guy I was talking to couldn't get it to load with the mod and be stable - crashed every time he'd try to get in.
He has to get the old copy of the Earth24 mod. The only one available on the boards here now is updated to the new patch. So email him your zipped Earth24 mod and he shouldnt have a problem after that.
The new Roman player's name is Steven Stout (sstout1@mailcity.com) and just moved in with his brother and is now having computer issues, setting everything up. He used his brothers comp till now, and asked me to enter his turns for him for the next several days till he can play himself. I am leery of this and wanted to make sure it was OK with everyone for me to do this for him. His brother is a heavy MMORPG player and the comp wont be completely available.
Since the English just started a war, it is kind of a crucial time to have someone do the turns, but I dont feel comfortable doing the turns for him unless everyone agrees, especially IanDC. And truthfully, we were bringing him in on a relatively peaceful, I thought, lol, civ so he could ramp up some. He is an old Civ3 player and Civ4 is new to him, but he is a really sharp guy. Maybe he can come in with a different civ and let JMaltmans friend play the Romans? I dunno.
Since we are having so many problems due to the patch, I am seriously thinking that maybe we should restart with the new patch. I hate to do that since we have put so much time into this game and it is starting to get tighter between England and Persia. But it seems no one can join in due to the patch issues.
What do you folks think? Begin again? Continue? Is there a way around it? Is the saved game compatible with the new patch if I installed it?
Just tossing some ideas out there for discussion.
