Why not?

Yes, it is deactivated. But you can always load the game in singleplayer mode, use the cheat mode, save as a scenario and load again as the net mode.
But I propose to send .sav files in place of .net files. Then you can use the cheat mode for the offline diplomacy and you have no problems with Ctrl-N and production changed by the AI (you neednt use the Xin's program LazyCiv).

Um, .sav doesn't work because you don't get to choose a civ as you load the file; you end up playing as the person who saved. And I don't think "set human player" would work because the turn doesn't change.

A hotseat game could work, though.

I think you can set more than one person if you edit the appropriate byte. It was used with classic Civ2.

It looks the singleplayer mode is not so simple, see
PBEM questions (Ctrl-N, SP mode, confidence...)

No news.

 

[Mignonne]

no news either

 

[SlowThinker]

Shall I play reasonably (going to monarchy) or to be oriented to as fast contact as possible? (going for caravels?).

In other words, how much is this game serious?

 

[Darius]

Dunno.

 

[Mignonne]

[Darius]
