MP Game - RewriteHistory - 18civ EARTH map historical start position

[bamf226]

The PitBoss timer does not run while players are in the game (bug?). So, a 22 hour timer in game time will result in approximatly a 24 hour timer in real time.

I see. Thanks for the explanation

I cannot use civstat.

Moreover, unless you take your turn in the last hour then you usually have more than 24 hours. Because it is 22 hours plus the time until the timer ends from the last time you played your turn.

This will be very fun

Re: civstats

Are people still have trouble logging into civstats?

I can log in and out with no trouble. Username BTS-earth, password history

 

[oyzar]

You have to register for civstats with deparate usernames..

oh ok that would explain it. Anyway you can view the game on civstats without registering.

A hosts request to players

If for any reason a player wishes to cease playing. Please let me know as soon as possible so I can find a replacement or turn your civ over to AI.

Zen you have to log in civstats, and put username history for every player in the game so that we can all claim leaders

You can play this game without Bhuric's patch.

Good news. I have to switch the .dll's as I'm also playing two PBEM games that don't work with this patch so I'll go on without it.

I see there's just one player to process a turn before the next turn. If I read up on pitboss rightly when the 24 hr timer hits zero (or 22 or whatever) then the turn progresses anyway yea? Any players who haven't processed their turn misses it? Will the AI take over at a certain point if more than one turn is missed?

I also just registered my player with civstats. You need to do that to process diplomacy through civstats it seems.

Also I'm Gavmundo on civstats (and the nic in the game) rather than Ulfang

AI won't take over until the host kicks a player out or a player retires as far as I know. The turn ends when the timer runs out OR when all players have ended their turn whichever comes first.

 

[whiplash_CDC]

PitBoss will not automatically switch a civ to the AI because of human missing turns. The PitBoss host can do that by kicking the human on the PitBoss admin window. Or, a player can kick himself to the AI by using the in-game retire feature.

 

[Amask]

well, gl hf all
should be good

 

[Ulfang]

Ahh I see so that means if I player missed his turn then decided he didn't want to play so didn't bother processing anymore his settler and warrior would just sit there until someone killed them? Pity that it would be much better if the ai could take over rather than lose a Civ ... not that we will of course as everyone will play ... hopefully

 

[whiplash_CDC]

In such cases the pitboss host usually tries to locate the player who is MIA, and if unsuccessful he will kick him.

Now its just the lagging Inca player left, and I hope he joins the game, so we are complete.

I have sent him a pm. Probably he just hasn't had a chance to check the thread and doesn't know the game has started.

Heh heh, sorry about that. But I think you'll find it's you whos lagging now. I have already played my second turn

Turn 2 timer is still 48 hours...
