Since Koshling is hosting the American MP Game I figure and go ahead with hosting a European MP Game. So guys start away and vote on ideas.
 
Feel free to copy the spreadsheet or just add a bunch of columns to the right and use the existing one.
 
Did this ever happen? I just came looking from the other MP thread to see if anyone had dropped out. Would quite like to give MP a go.
 
I have no idea what's involved. From what I read in the other thread, it's a bit complicated to organise.

You have to agree on which options to use in the game, and then make a new game and PM Koshling with your Sourceforge usernames so he can add access to the MP SVN for all players.
 
If interested, willing to wait and everyone can actually play it, I am working on an immense Europe map. Would be fun I think. Hell great Britain is like the size of a small map lol.
 
When you say MP, do you mean Pitboss or PBEM?
 
As far as I know the method the molders use is an SVN that they just update, take their turns, and then update the thread so the next person knows they can take their turn.

PBEM, but rather than sending the saves by email we just put them on an SVN. It's still PBEM thigh as far as Civ s concerned.

If I understood this correctly, I think that size of a map would be too big for a multiplayer game. The procession of turns is not that fast using the SVN method and I would like to also see some action :) . I would suggest a normal sized map with epic game speed, IMO anything else would be too slow paced.

Hum the speed I can see needing to be faster but I don't quite understand why we would need a smaller map. People take their turns when they can so load times in between turns is basically null...
 
I think that the size should be tied to the number of players

for example
2 (Human) players-->Duel/Small (depending if there are AIs)

there's no point in having an immense map if there are only 2 players that can never meet each other

about the speed, I usually play on marathon but I think that in this case the speed just faster than marathon is better
 
Yeah, as it seems that we would get < 8 players, a normal sized map would be reasonable so that we get some bumping into each other too. Otherwise, what's the point of playing multiplayer?
 
IDEA: don't start separate games, join my game (today, 15:30 GMT, GEM-NP Asia, direct IP)
