Nice your only 1 hour behind me, will be easy for me and you to play together...

 

[Bad Player]

It's 9:15 PM for me now (original post time, not edit post time!)

Can you just say which major city is in the time zone you are in, e.g. for me it is Queensland/Brisbane.

 

[Silverkiss]

OMG your 13 hours after me o_0.

 

[Sureshot]

Set up a game where you start Friday at night for Bad Player and Saturday morning for everyone else lol.

If someone leaves a game in progress does the AI take over for them? It could be fun to play a game where AI's take over some times (and then you come back and bam! AI has screwed you over badly and left you with a single Warrior).

 

[Silverkiss]

Hahaha =P bet wel do that, start a game on friday night while Bad Player is on Saturday morning =D

 

[Sureshot]

oops, ya i mixed up the peoples, a friday night game for most and it'd be a saturday morning for bad that works out better too, since then theres an extra 2 hours of game play

 

[Bad Player]

I don't mind getting up early on Saturday to play FFH2 multiplayer - it's worth it!!!

There's basically a 12 hour time difference for us so what time of the evening do you guys want to start?

Also I suggest that we meet in this forum so we can see eachother and then start FFH2 up (any other suggestions on how to meet up? Give a GMT we should all be here?).

 

[Silverkiss]

Friday... Humm I´l be avaiable from 9:00 PM (your 10:00 AM and Lord Vermillion´s 8:00 PM) to 4:00 AM (?).

 

[Lord Vermillion]

Thats about perfect for me, I get off work at 8:00 pm USA EST. Im a nite owl, and gaming 'til 4am is nothing new

 

[Silverkiss]

Then we meet at forum first on Friday... Then we play till 4 AM

 

[Lord Vermillion]

I should be ready to play (getting settled in from work and what not) around 8:30 USA EST. I may be able to recruit a buddy of mine to play with us also. Did u guys want to co-op (vs. the AI) or FFA, or just do what ever? thoughts?? If we co-op, we dont necessarily have to do it in "team" format, but can still work together. Im up for anything.

 

[Silverkiss]

My opinion is start FFA, but if 2 or more want to team up as the game progress, no problem. We should leave "Permanent Alliances" on, it will be more fun =P

 

[Bad Player]

Yeah I'd like to be able to compete against human players, not so sure about permanent alliances though..

What skill setting are we going to use and who is going to host the server? Could an American host the server please because my ping for European servers is awful?

 

[Lord Vermillion]

So FFA then. Sounds good to me. Looks like 3 of us so far. I will see if I can get a friend of mine to join also, but so far I havnet been able to contact him. Im thinking if whoever hosts it just puts FFH2 as the game title in the lobby we should be able to find it quite easily. Hopefully we can get a few more people on board. Also...noone has dial up do they?? If so that could become an issue.

 

[Sureshot]

I could be up for the game, though not sure i could stay up til 4AM EST O_o

 

[Lord Vermillion]

Well, whomever hosts the game can keep the save, and we could continue the next weekend if everyone agrees.

 

[Silverkiss]

I never host, and I think I actually can´t host... But, if no one elses wants to, I can try. Oh, about civs, will it be random or we choose them ? And what will be the map settings ?

 

[Sureshot]

peronsally i tend towards:
deity
raging barbs
standard map size
Classical for tech (gets the game going quicker)
Quick
highlands (or other maps with large amounts of land)
and never random civs (getting stuck with undevelopped ones like the Sidar wouldn't be fun)

 

[Silverkiss]

heh, we´re on different levels here. If we play Deity Raging Barbs, I´l be out of the game by year 50. xP
