I don't know what happened? Maybe we can all play a locked TAM game on Gamespy next time. I played through 2 vanilla games. The first one I held off two numerically superior foes; they also had the technology edge. And the second I proceeded to systematically build up my infrastructure and then proceeded to pick off the weak. After about 5 hours of play; I was the sole survivor.Jet said:
But it was so boring. I never play Vanilla. I will try to figure out what happened during the direct IP games. It was frustrating it would begin to connect through everyone except Dux; then the game would crash.We were only four unfortunately, Dux playing Hittites, Julianus the Romans, Jet was Agamemmnon and myself starring as Egypt. It was fun and thrilling, my first multiplayer game in CIV, even though i had few contact with other human players it was interesting to measure oneself against these. We played until approximately 1700 BC when Julianus suddenly lost connection, and i quitted due to advanced time. I don't know if the others continued to play after...

Sorry about my no-show but last night became a date night. Sunday nights are more reliable gaming nights for me.

Sorry Dux I thought you had taken my beloved Egyptians....so if I was able to connect we would have to split Schlappi between us, since I was playing Carthage.schlappi said:
Maybe we should play on the big map on GameSpy next time. That way if some one grabs Egypt, I can play as Nubia. Glad you guys had a good time...but I think the Direct IP connection is the issue. Lets continue to look at it. I remember OneDreamer mentioning that he preferred GameSpy; maybe he has had more experience with the connection issues that we faced last night.

I am. Wanna try GameSpy first to see if it works for all of us? That sure was an exercise in frustration for me last week.Dux_ said:

Can't make it this week. Or, if I can, just for the first couple of hours. Have fun.

That would be great. Some of the gamers who play vanilla civ and now warlords can be a little off putting. The arrogance and the "you can't join this game because its a ladder game b.s." can get on your nerves. Half of these people could be my kids. Then like a lot of multiplayer games you have people who put down "noobs" (like they never were) and you have a lot of creeps who apply what I would call cheap strategies that do not really employ any skill. I must say I enjoy kicking a$$, as I have been playing civ since Civ1. Playing against my fellow TAMers will be more of a gentleman's game. See ya there on GameSpy.Dux_ said:Sure, as always, we meet on Gamespy at 7pm EST, I'm hoping this will become a weekly thing

No problem, Jet and I played a multiplayer on vanilla civ after an attempt at IP connection for TAM. We came across a good group of players and it was interesting trying to remember the techs and strategies needed to win in the vanilla game. Though hopefully next week we will have another go at TAM.Dux_ said:

May have childcare issues today; but will try to make it at seven... Dux I think I may have figured out the reasons why I could not connect to the direct IP. I played a game with Jet and I on Gamespy (vanilla Civ) and we seemed to have figured out the issue. So here goes nothing.

It depends on how much work I get done in the next four and a half hours...
But I'm a maybe.
