If I can get C2C working, this will be great.

If not, back to the drawing board.

That would be good. Did you buy it? You can get it free from 2k by contacting them through a specific website on the grounds that you want to play multiplayer. Since CD Civ 4 ran with Gamespy for MP and Gamespy shut down. Steam based Civ 4 runs on steam MP. I contacted them and after proving I do own Civ 4 BTS by sending a picture of the box with my email written on a sticky note next to it they sent me the Complete Pack CD key to put into Steam.

Yep, bought it. There was a steam sale on, and I decided I might as well consolidate most of my games together and keep them close, so money well spent IMO.

If not, back to the drawing board.

Hope you remember which version you played on.

So I was so bored that I went to This site and predicted my own election results using RNG to say which state voted which way. While it did result in some weird states voting weird ways, it was a good way to kill your time if you have nothing else to do. Like this

Notes:

The following never became president:

Martin Van Buren
Franklin Pierce
Andrew Johnson (since Lincoln was never elected to a second term so he would never become president)
Rutherford B. Hayes
James A. Garfield
Chester A. Arthur
Benjamin Harrison
Herbert Hoover
Dwight D. Eisenhower
Richard Nixon
George H. W. Bush
George W. Bush

The Following never became presidents IRL but did in here:

Winfield Scott
George B. McCellan
Samuel J. Tilden
James G. Blaine
William J. Bryan
Alfred E. Smith
Alfred M. Landon
Thomas E. Dewey
Adlai Stevenson
Hubert H. Humphrey
Michael S. Dukakis
Dick Cheney

John Quincy Adams was elected for 2 terms instead of 1 term
Andrew Jackson was the first president to be elected by the house for all of his terms. The 2nd one was Abraham Lincoln and the 3rd was John F Kennedy.
Franklin D. Roosevelt was only elected for 2 terms (but he still died on 1945)
John F Kennedy was the only president which did not join in the general elections but a all of the un-pledged electors voted for him and then became president by the house.
Lincoln was never elected to a second term and was replaced by George B. McCellan

That's pretty interesting.

 

[VGL]

Sorry. Linked both of the links to one site. It's fixed

While I'm tinkering with C2C, I decided to kickstart a game of good old RFC as Germany.

Collapsed five turns into the game. I'm feeling this one.

 

[CaterpillarKing]

How did you manage that?

 

[Tycho]

How did you manage that?

Great question.

France declared war on me, I moved to attack, had peace declared, moved back, hit end turn, and wham. No more Germany.

 

[Manuss]

I think that's a record.

 

[TheNoob]

Drama. I've had too much of it.

 

[Tycho]

What's going on, friend?

 

[TheNoob]

It'd take a whole page to explain. Not to mention the fact that it'd cause drama here too, and would probably get deleted by mods

 

[Royal Tenenbaum]

Bought another copy finally. It's happening guys, I swear.

I just had to buy it on Steam as well! Had to try out that tech balancing.

Makes really small units -- what's so impressive about it?

I think the point is that it isn't a civ 4 mod
