GOTM 39 Pre-Game Discussion:

[Jove]

Arrrr, I can't remember the last time I said something in the pre-game that turned out to be correct, so I'm just going to say that I'm in this one, predator as always, and I don't know what the hell I'm going to do yet.

 

[Tubby Rower]

so ... release time is based on what time zone? How much longer ....

usually it comes out @ 3AM ET on the 15th. But I think that ainwood is on vacation and AlanH is posting stuff this time, so when does the 15th come in England?

 

[Wanderer]

GMT 0 ... Since Greenwich is in the UK.

That would mean 2:00 am here in South Africa.... or roughly 3h30 from now ... if we are right about using UK time (unless they have daylight savings on now, which I think they might) which would mean 2h30 from now, maybe?

Maybe Alan will be kind, stay up late and make the game available around midnight GMT (please)

 

[denyd]

Whether it's AlanH or Ainwood, they normally release it about midnight MST (that's when Cracker used to release it). I think that's about 8am to AlanH and 8pm to Ainwood, so it's convienent for both. That would be about 10 hours after this post.

 

[MikeH]

I don't think 8am on a Saturday morning is convenient to anybody .

 

[Wanderer]

MST ? Mountain Standard time? what's that ... GMT -8 ?

 

[nikof]

The AI gets an extra unit w/o support per city on monarch versus 2 in emperor.

Thanks for the clarity, klarius!

MST ? Mountain Standard time? what's that ... GMT -8 ?

Yes, Mountain Standard Time (e.g., Colorado), but it's GMT -7.

It looks like you got your wish .

 

[Tone]

Thanks Alan!

 

[AlanH]

Question: I have lost both my Vaniila and PTW cd's, is it in anyway possible to play GOTM with my conquest cd?

I haven't tried it but I think that >>this<< post from the previous GOTM's pre-game discussion will help. If not maybe someone else can help. Good luck!

Probably the easiest way would be to uninstall PTW and C3C and then reinstall C3C which will also install PTW. Then you could play PTW with your C3C disk. If you do this, DO NOT UNINSTALL VANILLA CIV. If you do, you would not be able to reinstall C3C.

You would also have to reapply the C3C patch, and any changes you made to your installs.

Hey, well I think I am going to try to play this gotm. I have not even played civ in months, I might as welll jump back in with what got me hooked in the 1st place. playing gotm's

Alright, so due to one thing or another I never got to submit my GOTM 38. I actually won by Space Race in like 1930 or something, but I digress. I will try and finish this one by the deadline and actually submit it. I NEVER play on a map that sounds this crowded, but I am willing to try anything once...Just Ask My Wife!

Here goes nothing!
