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

[whiplash_CDC]

It's back up after yet another nse. 18+ hours to go.

 

[zenspiderz]

Shouldn't you be assisting your Persian brothers-in-faith in our war vs the Arabian aggressors then?

Arabian aggressors? YOU started this war!

 

[Pexicus]

Arabian aggressors? YOU started this war!

I think the esteemed Persian ruler was referring to the ancient Arabia-Persian conflict that started this long-lived feud, not the current war.

 

[mikeyia]

This game sure does appear to live up to historical conflicts, some things in the Middle East never change.

Well that original war was started by India actually, I was persuaded to join in by india, basically we were both worried about an immortal rush before we had spears up and running. That war was only about delaying persia's access to horses so that india and arabia (persia's neighbours and most likely first targets) could get our spears ready. Not quite aggression imho; no it was more like pre-emptive peace-keeping.

In this current war persia was the clear aggressor. My forces were soley formed for defence, archers/longbows, spears, horse-archers in the main. Well that will have to change now i suppose. I won't be fighting on the defensive for long.

In real life the middle east does not nor never ever has had a monopoly on conflict. If there was a contender for most war prone geopgraphical area it would be europe by a landslide majority.

OK, as far as I can see, this time the server crashed not during my turn, or just after my turn. It's definitely good news for me, as I no way wanted to get players in troubles.
But the question remains: why this happens and how to avoid it.
Haven't you seen such problems before ?

Pexicus: you said you cauld start a server soon ? I think it would be good test, or at least it could help to localize the problem. Please keep in touch on this.

Whiplash: haven't you recently change anything on server that could cause this NSE ?

All: you should take it easier if wars start, alliances collapsed and so on. It's game, not real life. I think there were no teams, no agreements as the game started, is it correct ?

 

[Blww]

Btw: what will happen if a human misses his turn ? Will it be taken over by AI or will the turn be just lost ?

 

[whiplash_CDC]

Blww, I don't see you as having played your turn.

If a player misses the turn the turn is "lost".

I hosted a previous game where the nse was horrid. I can find no documentation regarding this error so it is a bit of a mystery. From my experience in the prior game I hosted I concluded it was due to connectivity conflicts with my server.

 

[Geronimo20]

I lost connection to server during my turn, while Levgree was logging in also. I cannot connect now.

 

[whiplash_CDC]

Reloaded after yet another nse.

 

[classical_hero]

I cannot get in.

 

[Amask]

same here........

 

[Ronnie1]

It's down....

 

[Hercules90]

It seems to have gone back 2/3 turns.

 

[Levgre]

yeah, it moved a bit backwards

also, I'll stop joining when anyone else is logged in, in case that causes a problem for some reason

 

[zenspiderz]

What the f is going on! last turn was 760 AD now it is 730 AD. Why are always going backwards? Boring and annoying. It wouldn't matter so much but some of us are at war.

I see elkad has made good use of the time warp to change a whole bunch of dumb moves. I wonder if whip would be kind enough to do me the same favour sometime, i doubt it.

I demand to know what excuse you have for not loading 760AD.

Whiplash - email me 760AD save djhart870ATyahooDOTcoDOTuk and I will resume hosting in a few days when have the bits i need to get my old system up and running until then this game is suspended.

 

[whiplash_CDC]

Sorry, nothing sinister going on here. I just mistakedly loaded the wrong save file.

760 AD up now. 9 1/2 hours to go.

760 AD up now. 9 1/2 hours to go.

whiplash - you need to change the timer on pitboss to 24 hrs or so. for whatever mysterious reason only a few people have played and the timer is at 9 1/2 hours left.

 

[whiplash_CDC]

ok then i take back what i said. Still we need a reliable host machine. I will make an effort to get my old machine running so i can resume hosting unless pexicus or someelse is willing to step into the breach.

Fine with me!
