I'm wondering how the game is going. Looking forward.

Yes, we are waiting for the patch. If it doesn't hurry up though, we may start before it. If we do start before the patch comes, unless the patch comes within the first few turns, do not patch. Patching games often ruins save games made before the patch (for example my Rome: Total War save games screwed up when I got patch V.1.3).

Anyone who plays regular MP as well as PBEM will have to patch. I'm in that camp.
Civ3 saves were not backwards compatible after patches, if I remember correctly, so it stands to reason that Civ4 will be the same.

Ok, we'll hope so. I still think we should wait for the patch though, because as well as fixing bugs it makes some gameplay changes.

I agree- there's a post from Friday the 4th saying "the patch is coming next week". It's now (just barely) Tuesday the 22nd. However, I would strongly advise against large or huge maps due to the problems with the game- I'm experiencing those myself.godmstr said:

Well, does anyone know how long testing a patch takes? Because it was sent off for final testing on the 14th. If we don't have the patch by Friday, then we'll start the game, and discuss whether to patch or not if it comes out afterwards.

According to the discussion from the people that played the game using the aborted patch, pre-patch games play fine.

OK thanks, Herrandar. I hadn't even heard the patch was out. Well looks like the long awaited patch is in the toilet for the time being. At this point I can't say that I'm a bit surprised. I think if we wait on them to get things right, we won't get this game started before the new year. I vote we get things going, just limit the map size to alleviate some of these performance issues- shouldn't be a problem for a one-city challenge anyhow.
So what say you, shall we get the show on the road??

I see all slots are full. Can I sign up as an alternate?

White Elk, I take it you mean as a substitute player to fill in if someone quits?

Yep! In the unlikely event it'd be needed.
