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

No offense oyzar, but the number crunching mentality takes all the fun out of the game (at least for me). I'm pretty sure that everyone plays to win, else there would be no reason to play, but there has to be balance between fun and winning. If someone is winning because they have calculated every option in Civ 4 like a computer, then there is very little fun involved for those of us who prefer a more casual game. Those style players are better off playing against the computer or others that share that mentality because the rest of us won't provide much challenge. Maybe we should break games up into casual and hardcore so that people can play with an appropriate group mentality.

I don't have internet at my place right now (typing this from a library), so I won't be able to take my turn
it's just that some have expressed concern regarding my, well, slowness
I'll be back at my parents by tomorrow night, should be smooth from there

Sorry for the offtopic, but I wanted to ask if any of you is interested in the joining this PitBoss game: http://apolyton.net/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=176660&perpage=30&pagenumber=1

Currently there are 15/18 so 3 more empty spots available. I think it will be a great (GREAT) game. If someone enjoys heavy diplomacy, negotiations, much wars etc have a look. The game will be very different from what we are used to.

Thanks

Actually I don't play to win! I play for the enjoyment. I prefer games with alliances generally where the alliance wins so I'm not really that bothered about actually winning as long as the game is fun

btw .. for the sake of civstats who is gavmundo?

That would be me

I did not leave this weekend so i'm available.
My playing mentality is to have fun.
All calculation if there is any i do in my head. I use strategic decisions and i like strong alliances that lasts.

@bamf226
You may allie against this palyers in order to win.

 

[karayanev]

Asparux that would be me Zen. Sorry for the confusion

Agreed although alliances that don't last can be fun too. If anyone's played the excellent Charlemagne mod they'll know what I mean Always fancied playing that as a multiplayer/PBEM game.

Actually one thing I've noticed from the Pitboss games that are playing there don't seem to be many MOD games in Pitboss? Is it difficult to run a mod as a Pitboss game? Such as Charlemagne, Rhye's and Fall etc...??

Couldn't log in. Kept getting a timeout error so will try again tomorrow morning ... well later in the morning as it's 3am already

 

[adyyc]

I think server is down. Zen is not logged on hamachi.

 

[Indiansmoke]

Please reload turn when you manage to get the game back up

 

[Indiansmoke]

I see the uploader is connected again, but I will not be able to take turn as I am at work. Zen please reload the turn.

Ok I have another question regarding diplomacy......

I thought the chat message option would work but I think that only works for people logged in at the same time. There is a message option on the diplomacy/trade screen but seems no message is received if there's nothing to trade so my question is if you can see another nation how is diplomacy to work? By PM via the forum? Is anyone bothered or are we making specific rules of when you can and can't contact someone.

I tested the chat message and trade message option today on the Ottomans but they didn't work. If you can see a nation on yoru map you should be able to enter diplomacy with them

 

[adyyc]

You can use diplomacy option from civstat if you registered your civ...

OK sorry about the server being inaccessible. I assume an ISP problem. Unfortunatly when I checked on it I found that the turn was 3 hours from completion but had probably been inaccessible for 8 hours or more. Lots of you probably couldn't make your turn. Unfortunartly I haven't been savig the game regularly so the last save is the one I made when I noticed I was disconnected from the internet... oops sorry!

So if I reload the turn it will be at the same position as when I noticed it disconnected. So I am disinclined to reload the turn again as it won't help much. Everyone should have queued builds and research so I can't see that anyone has lost anything except a warrior move in not being able to connect. Am I wrong?

Rest assured I have learnt my lesson and from now on I will save the game every time I play my turn or am otherwise connected to internet. ok?

You can make manual saves if you like; but it's not all that helpful. If you find a problem where the game has shut down, just check civstats to see who the last player was to play the turn. When knowing that, you can find a recovery file with that player's name embedded in the file name. Just reload with that file and inform the player that he needs to repeat his turn.

 

[adyyc]

Do we really need to reload?

 

[Indiansmoke]

Do we really need to reload?

Maybe you don't but I missed my turn and I am at war!
