Kazakstan pitboss game

[Kaleb]

OK:
1. map will be random we all agree on that
2. size will depend on players/teams...so far
solo: Kaleb, Indiansmoke, Sommerswerd
team: Provo Donsig, Bolkonski
others plese say what you want..
3. Civs will be pick but no dublicates...I propose unrestricted with reverse pick...see below how that works
4. If we have barbs on, random events will be off, if no barbs random events on
5. huts off
6. Tech trading on with no tech brockering
7. level noble
8. Timer 24 hours with simoultanious..we can lower the timer at any time if we like
9. Speed normal

Reverse pick how it works:
I will send a PM with a list to kaleb with all the players/teams and randomly assign numbers form 1-10 (according to how many players) in front of the names
Then Donsig when we say we are ready will post a list of numbers in this forum, form 1-10 in mixed order. This list wil determine who picks first according to numbers allocated to my PM to Kaleb.

So for example lets assume we have 5 players/teams and my list is:

1. Kaleb 2. Indiansmoke 3. cav scout 4. provo/donsig 5. Sommerswerd

and Donsig posts his list as 4 2 1 5 3
Then provo picks first, me second, Kaleb third and so on.

We first pick leaders...so Provo picks leader then me then Kaleb and so on....The last person to pick leaderpicks civ as well..and then the list reverses, so the person before the last picks civ second and the person who picked leader first picks civ last.

That all sounds fine.

But what about Jimmy, Jeff, Shogu and classical hero? solo or teams for them?

 

[Sommerswerd]

I agree with settings. As far as barbs v. events goes, I vote for Barbs on, events Off if that is the choice. The only difference I would encourage is that we allow folks to pick EITHER their leader OR their civ first as opposed to leader first, civ second. I'm even more excited than I was before

 

[Indiansmoke]

Ok I did some tests and random script sometimes starts you on a tiny island...we don't want that to happen to anyone...so it is better to be pangea game like classical said...

 

[jkpsmp1]

I will gladly play on a team - for time and because I am not all that good.

Jeff

 

[Indiansmoke]

Ok we are looking for another person willing to play on a team to start this...so far...

Bolkonski
Donsig
jkpsmp1

 

[Shogu]

Do i have to actually download pitboss server to make turns ?

I would play solo.

 

[Bolkonski]

Do i have to actually download pitboss server to make turns ?

No - you don't need the PitBoss server. You join a game through the multiplayer menu. The host will give you instructions as to how to join.

For example, the Direct IP address for our current game is daveshack.dyndns.org:2057

 

[classical_hero]

Have a look at the how to play guide that I made up.

 

[Indiansmoke]

I have created a Hamachi network...can everyone please download hamachi and join network:

network name: Kazpit
pass: natalya


we will need hamatchi to play the pitboss.

You can download from here http://hamachi.en.softonic.com/

After all is logged in network with no problems we can start pick process.

 

[Kaleb]

what's a Hamachi network?

 

[Jimmy369]

I'll play on a team team to make two teams.

 

[Indiansmoke]

what's a Hamachi network?

Hamachi is a virtual network program..all people wanting to play in this game must download from the link I posted, install and join the network as I said.

 

[classical_hero]

Are you going to have a test game up?

 

[Indiansmoke]

Are you going to have a test game up?

Yes later today

 

[Indiansmoke]

For some weird reason the first post of this thread, where I had all the names and was going to post rules is gone missing!!!

So I will start a new thread to post all the details

 

[classical_hero]

There was a DB error yesterday, so that could be the cause of the problem. The server will be moving to much larger one and the problem we have been having should be a thing of the past.

 

[Bolkonski]

Unfortunately, I am not allowed to run Hamachi on the computer on which I would normally play. Can we use a direct IP connection as has been the case in all other PitBoss games I have played in?

 

[Indiansmoke]

Try this 88.218.159.47:3838

This is what shows on web, plus the port I use for the game...I cannot connect to it from my other Lan pc however, so I will use hamatchi...try see if you can connect to test game..just claim any civ

 

[Kaleb]

Ok, I'll try and give it a go later to test. I'd also prefer a direct ip but I'll try the hamachi out as requested

 

[Sommerswerd]

I also prefer the direct IP as I am already familiar with how it works, but I will try to see if I can work Hamichi.
