Pitboss
- Thread starter NYURDRMS
- Start date
Various threads regarding this feature in here. Term is either Pitboss or PTBS. In terms of what has happened to it - who knows, if anyone knows in here they are not saying. Back in October (maybe before) the devs confirmed that it would be with the game but not at release and was expected to appear in December. We're in December but not a whisper from anyone in the know 
What will it do - again very little information regarding this, the hope from my perspective:
Allow pesistant MP games
Small footprint server
Simultaneous turns
Ability to email players on turn generation
Customisability regarding turn generation.
Most wanted feature of Civ IV from my perspective as pass the parcel pbem which is currently in is so slow to make anything over a few people not a runner.

It will be the best multiplayer mode of this game. I can't wait. 
I saw that too, and got excited as I was hoping to read they added it later in the document, but I didn't see anything else mentioned. I wonder if they forgot they didn't put it in the game?
I will email Fraxis now and post response, if I get one.

Haha I did that same thing. I was all excited thinking it was in there. I am really looking forward to this feature and I hope it comes out soon. I think I will email them as well. The more people that email them the better I think

They have a PB column in the MP lobby. You should be able to expect it out soon.

From the config file on patch 1.52:
; SMTP server login for Pitboss reminder emails
PitbossSMTPLogin = Herandar
; SMTP server for Pitboss reminder emails
PitbossSMTPHost = mail
; SMTP server login for Pitboss reminder emails
PitbossSMTPLogin = Herandar
; SMTP server for Pitboss reminder emails

The good news is that in the recent Dev chat they confirmed that a pitboss is in the works it was soon for release and would have low spec requirements having no graphics or audio.

Though it has been said elsewhere that there will be.
I just got this email from Take2 about the Pitboss. I basically sent them an email asking if they knew when the pitboss feature would be coming out. This is the response that I got from Take2.
