Pitboss game within the team

[Robi D]

Well here is my first spoiler, hopefully i done it right as its the first one i've every done. As from previous discussion people involved with the game should not look, as for the rest of you enjoy. Any questions/comment can be PM'ed to me

Spoiler :

I must say given the quality of the opposition in this game i never expected to be doing so well, but as you can see i had a fantastic starting location. I've run into a lot of other civs so far and developed a couple good relationships.
I've met in order, Meleager (Rome), Hatshepsut-AI (Egypt), Sigma (America), Peter-AI (Russia), Mauer (Spain), Whomp (England), Matrix (Persia) and DaveMcW (Mongolia).

Of these Meleager and Whomp look very promising for future trading. Find Matrix near Meleager and myself has made us both nervous given the fact his a fantastic player and were umm... average. So weve both agreed that he is public enemy number one for us. Hopefully both of our early UU will give us the advantage.

With respect to research, now that i have a couple of willing trading partner i'm heading from alphabet so i can make a few tech swaps.

I had delayed a bit with the worker as i wanted to get a few units up and running first so there was no chance of an early exit. Once he is done i can do a couple of forest chops to get the expansion underway. There is a juicy city site just west of me in the hills with both stone and copper a couple of squares from each other (you just see it on the edge of the screenshot) so i'm heading off their first before anyone else gets ideas.

Edit- Sorry, i thought the image would come out bigger, maybe someone can help me

Just for future reference, The stuff inside the spoiler tags was emailed to me due to my subscription to this thread. Others might have inadvertantly read it. After I realized that it was your spoiler stuff I deleted that email.

You can always start a Spoiler Thread in the MP forum then provide a link here. If you do, make sure that your title says something about this game and your name so people don't accidentally look. Just to let you guys know.

Right now I can connect to DaveShack, but I time out contacting peer.

So whoever the bad peer is, please log off or open the port on your firewall!

Edit: Ok, I'm in now.

Or you can just wrap quote tags around it... like this:

So that it won't be emailed.

 

[Matrix]

Connection timed out.

 

[Tubby Rower]

I got in ok

 

[Furiey]

It's working now, DS had to reboot and needed to restart it.

Is someone using ports 27900/27901 rather than 2056 as I've just had to open those ports or it got stuck on contacting peer?

There's a couple of hours left before the turn ends though.

[robboo]

Hey you copied my spoiler.... you must have read it.

 

[Mauer]

Oh, was I not supposed to?...

 

[robboo]

Timed out again... 7am central

 

[grs]

The IP is not reachable.

 

[DaveShack]

Yeah, my work connection was also dead when I got up this morning. Reset the router, should be available now.

 

[robboo]

Hey Dave...I dont have a clue about IP address or anything but i saw this thread and thought you might want to look at it.

The email thing( post #5) might be a good option if your IP keep switching IP addresses.

The above issue also hung pitboss, and it had to be restarted from the 2400 BC autosave.

It might not be the IP switching, it acts like I have no connection at all from this end, until I reset everything.

 

[grs]

No it is not ip-switching, since the IP always stays the same (at least since I joined a few days ago).

 

[Tubby Rower]

it had to be restarted from the 2400 BC autosave

How many turns ago was that?

 

[robboo]

loooks like none...

I was actually finish building what I thought I would be doing during this turn.

 

[BCLG100]

Strangely my game has started working again, so whoevers met me i can finally talk again!

 

[Whomp]

BTW have we established any rules as far as trading? Is it anything goes or no tech discussion till alpha?
