I think it is worth just trying it as is, Elden. I am assuming Hygro will start up the game, you could be the first turn after him, and if it doesn't work for you we will go thru more measures to fix it.

I'm Glad to try but I don't think we are starting soon as CGannon64 hasn't made his civ choce.

Although you've informed me you uninstalled it, I'm going to go through all the steps incase we are miscommunicating.

First I hit "start"
Next I hit "Control Panel"
Then I click "Add/Remove Programs"
After that, I select "Civilation III 1.21f"
To finish it off, I select "change/remove"

Are those the steps you went through?

If so, I'm not sure how to help you.

Thats exactly what I did.

 

[Hygro]

And after you did that, you booted up PTW and on the bottom left corner it still said 1.21?

 

[Hygro]

I'm changing my civ to Arabia

If I can find 1.14f for download I'll patch as patching an already patched version wouldn't matter - but I can't find it for download now that 1.21f is available

 

[Hygro]

Hm, I guess I'm stuck then

[Hygro]

Yeah but it's only an IDSL not an ADSL, so about half way between normal and ADSL in speed.


IT ROCKS !!!

 

[Hygro]

So you booted up and it said 1.14?

(Yes)

 

[Hygro]

Ok, all we need now is CG's civ, then decide turn order, and we are good to go!

Then Perhaps we should get timezones and E-Mails
Heres Mine

Time Zone: GMT + 09:30

Email: james@cusack.com.au

 

[Hygro]

Time Zone: GMT -8

Email djmchygro@aol.com (make sure to make titles obvious as I delete anything remotely spam-like without a second glance--AOL trains you to do that)

 

[Sultan Bhargash]

whoa! I ain't putting my email up on this site for folks to see!

The usual MO is for the ringleader to collect them by PM and distribute them by email.

I'm US EST, (-5)like Sween, Gannon. I think Toasty is CMT (-6).

 

[cgannon64]

Sorry for the delay, haven't done a PBEM in a while.

Civ: Ottomans
Time Zone: EST. On sporadically between 3 and 10, do most of my gaming around 6.
E-Mail: conorg@nyc.rr.com

 

[Hygro]

Ok, I got all email's save Sween's

which means he will be last in the turn-order, as we are going to get rolling. I've never done a PBEM game before, but it shouldn't take too long to set up.

two final issues:
1)Are we going to try whatever workarounds to play a difficulty other than the default?
2)No AI right? We are playing 6 people on a small map so I don't think an AI is even possible, but just making sure.
2½)I guess I'll set barbarians on random?

 

[Elden]

EDIT: Question answered while posting so a new question.

Wouldn't it be better if I were last due to the big time difference.
