[Ulfang]

Why civfanatics doesn't have a game registry for pitboss games?

Was thinking exactly same thing Maybe if we start a thread it'll be stickied

Just 2 civs unclaimed.

China - Qin
Ottoman - Mehmed

Nearly there!

How is it not possible to edit the map you already have and remove ottomans and add them again?

 

[Indiansmoke]

It is ottomans that you wanted Oyzar, so why not take them?

 

[oyzar]

Wrong leader . Btw can't you edit this with the savegame editor tool?

I suggest that we place some kind of a deadline about starting this game - I fear the more we wait the more some may not show up or wait till then.

I agree. It would be nice to fill it but we can't guarantee that anyone will take the final two and don't want to be waiting forever. I know someone who might take a position and will email him but it will be tonight before I find out if he's interested.

Ok look, inorder to edit the map I had to start a custom scenrio loading the 18civ blank earth map and select the leaders/civs BEFORE going into WB. After spending 4 hours or more editing the map, removing goodie huts and placing civs I have a finished map. It is NOT possible to change leaders or civs in worldbuilder. So if I want to change a leader or civ I have to start a new custom scenario load the orginal blank map spend another 4 or more hours removing goodie huts, editing terrain, placing bonus resources and placing civs in their starting positions.

The reason why i started editing before all civs had been claimed was that I am running out of free time. Soon my business will resume trading and I won't have time to spend editing the map.

If you know a way to change the civ without starting from scratch please enlighten me and then I will do it for you. If not Mehmed will remain the leader for the ottomans like it or lump it.

As i said there is a tool for editing save games. Not sure if it can change leaders of a civ but i can't see why it shouldn't be able to do so...

Ok so this tool is not bundled with the game then? If you are talking about Worldbuilder then it can't change leaders or civs. If you are not talking about worldbuilder then I presume this tool is found on civfanatics then?

http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=167669 this is what i am talking about i think. It can also do some other things...

 

[Ulfang]

Wouldn't it be easier just to play Mehmed? Seems the easiest choice lol

 

[Pexicus]

I suspect I'm the bloke Ulfang mentioned about.

Haven't played much on historical Earth maps, but we'll see how fast I drop out - I'm not exactly professional or powergamer.

Ottomans is fine by me, or is it still under contest?

 

[oyzar]

Well quin is left too and i don't really feel playing him so if you take mehemed i am out, If you can't manage to change mehemed to suleiman with that util i could agree to play mehemed though, which would mean we would be full if Pexicus is fine with that...

Cool I'll put you down for the ottomans then.
