Internet Game - CFC game

Live games have this difficulty... everybody has to play at the same time!!!

I would say to play in bulks of 4 to 6hours... we might need more than 1 day but that should be reasonable.
It’s also hard for me to play on the nights of the weekdays... What about Friday's night? (GMT time)

I used to have a life... now I have Civ... :eek:
 
So when exactly are we doing this now?
 
Wednesday? HBHR what times could you play? Be specific. also, PM me your email and we can start an email chain to plan a game
 
So is it just the three of us or are Luthor and gpcii joining too?
 
Hm, if you'd like the two of us could start a separate game independent of this one with Nighthawk. It's not as if I had anything to do these days except for thinking of excuses when my parents tell me to go looking for a job. :lol:
 
I still think we should rather discuss it in the thread than with emails.

Game spy worked last year, didn't it?
 
I just got another idea we could try:

Us vs. Raging Barbarians on a mapscript that produces lots of them. Throw in one or two Aggressive AIs too and turn off conquest as victory condition and we're golden. What do you think? I've partly been inspired by this thread.
 
I've seen that thread actually, I do like that concept. I've tried that before, we did 2 humans, 2 not-quite-diety AI, raging barbs, aggressive AI and all that on a larger than necessary map. The goal was survival, whoever lasts longest wins... or if we get to meeting, then trying to survive together for any human to win (then we'd be both winners!). Its definitely a fun game.

Other ideas:

RFC multiplayer on a tough difficulty. Try to survive with ancient era civs.

The Earth 2012 mod on super tough difficulty, try to somehow win domination with one of the worst civs in the game (basically Underdogs except for domination, not just score)



We can do gamespy... not sure how that will work for saving the game and then coming back to it the next day though...?

And I did email because the buddy I have that wants to play isnt on these forums, so I wanted to keep him in the conversation.
 
I thought you were talking about HBHR.

Alright how about a 3on3 we vs an AI team of Sitting Bull, Mansa Musa and Genghis Khan?

I'm pretty sure that it should work with Gamespy.
 
Did you see my email about how I hate how the team feature works? With shared teching, the balance of the game gets thrown off. We tried doing that before and it was so weird... production was so low compared to tech rate, by the time you built an army and sent it, it was outdated.

How about us 3 not as a team, but agreeing to work together for survival? 3 AI, 1 step below deity, raging barbs and aggressive AI? I'm assuming pangea map?
 
Did you play on quick speed? Maybe that could have had something to do with it. We could just pick leaders with no economics traits or UBs and a rocky mapscript for more production.

Voluntary cooperation could work too. I would actually prefer something like the Wheel mapscript, or maybe Hghlands if we are talking more production relative to commerce.
 
Looks like my buddy might be dropping out for tonight but available tomorrow... so we might be dropping it down to 2 v 2 AI or more... hold on now hes claling me
 
Ok - so he is now unavailable tonight, some personal issues came up. So it looks like its just the two of us tonight and then we can still do the 3 of us tomorrow, or maybe even add in HBHR if the timing works.

So - now the question is:

Do we do some sort of 2 v 4 team game tonight, super difficult, try to survive, and then if we survive until tomorrow, load the save with the third player switching sides to join us and make it 3 v 3? Is it even possible to save a gamespy game and return to it later?

If not - since he doesn't have all the mods like we do, maybe we do the RFC multiplayer mod tonight with the two of us? Or the 2012 mod or one of the mods where it is us vs the difficult AI?
 
My stone age IT policies at my job will be forcing me from loading this site anymore shortly, so we will have to move this back to email. I'll be in touch. I should be leaving work within 15 mins and then be home in about an hour to get this started.
 
Sorry about your friend. I tried to talk some of my own friends into joining but since they actually do something for their living they aren't really available between 1 and 4 AM.

There is another idea that just popped up in my head: Most MP games ar eabandoned after the early Renaissance and only rarely do any go on into the Industrial and Modern eras, so how about a Medieval era or later start instead of Ancient? Or if we play RFC we could use the 800BC or 600AD scenario.
 
Yes lets do that! I love RFC, that would be fun with the two of us. Just dont win your historical victory so fast that the game ends within an hour!

Lets use the 800BC scenario and pick civs. I really enjoy RFC a ton, I'd love that for tonight.

I'm heading out of work here shortly, I'll email you.
