The thing is that PTW should be abandon and C3C should be used instead. PTW had many issues with MP. Like I said, we had to have a moderator fix the save many times as it ran into issues that lock the game.

Most of those issues were corrected in C3C. It is so much better than C3 or PTW. The interface allow is a big improvement.
 
Was several years since I last played a PBEM in PTW.

For the WWP: IIRC you only get the declaration WW, then nothing on both sides, this was fixed in Conquests.

To clarify. this is human vs human in PTW.
 
I had this problem years ago, and am having it again. I searched but could not find an answer.

My people have not built me a palace yet - I'm about to win by space race. I seem to recall a trick or keyboard shortcut to force a Palace screen in this case - is there one? I have no palace view button on my screen...

I doubt it. I have used many terrain mods and still get a palace upgrade popup. I do not get them, if I play scenarios or someone generates a map using the editior. May be other reason that I have not noticed.
 
There is a key you can press in order to go to the palace view. F10, F11, F12 or something like that; it may be best to just try them all out. What might see is that you can indeed when you are in the palace view add things to your palace. Then again you might not. In any case, the palace is no measure for a good game anyway.
 
Lots of places like Amazon, Ebay. Right in the upper right corner is a link for CFC (this place) market place.

I know the Palace doesn't matter, I just like to see it, y'know? I've tried all the F-keys, and got nothing. No big deal, I guess...

I am unaware of any function key to see the palace. IIRC there is an interface action button. Look on your minimap. If you do see a P that should be the one. If you do not see it then it is disabled.

At least that is what I seem to remember. I do not have any saves as I just moved to a new pc and Win7. I looked at a post I made in a thread where I posted a screen with the P. It is were you have the E for Espionage.
 
If you mod almost anything other than appearance, you lose the palace view.
 
Hello -

1 - Shall I build bombers in cities with airports, or does it not matter. I build my artillaries in towns without barracks, because it does not matter. Does the same apply here for airplanes?

2 - Could it be that I am not able to build the UN, because I am in war and this wonder can only been built during peace?

3 - When I offer peace to my opponent and he rejects, might this trigger his WW?

"1 - Shall I build bombers in cities with airports, or does it not matter. I build my artillaries in towns without barracks, because it does not matter. Does the same apply here for airplanes?"

Yes and No. I do not make airports, unless I need to get a trade route. So I only build regular bombers and fighters. There is a benefit from an airport in that you get vets planes.

This means they have an extra hit point making them a bit harder to be shot down. It also makes them some what better in action. Since I do not use fighter much of AA that is not a big deal.

As bombers are lethal, they tend to promote pretty well and soon will be vets and elites. IOW the cost of an airport is not a bargin in std games. If you are using AP or in Mob that may change.

"2 - Could it be that I am not able to build the UN, because I am in war and this wonder can only been built during peace?"

I am not sure about that, but it could be, some wonders can be built while in Mob iirc.

"3 - When I offer peace to my opponent and he rejects, might this trigger his WW?"

Not AFAIK.
 
1. It depends. If your enemy has flight, veteran bombers are more likely to survive being intercepted.
2. No. It either has been built, or can't be built because Diplomatic Victory has been disabled.
3. No.
 
Thank You, TheOverseer714 and vmxa for the answers.

Bombers in ptw are not lethal. Maybe I should not build them at all. That they might be somehow better in action, when built in an airport town, is in my mind touching the analogy of the artilleries and I am worried, because I build those in my no-barracks towns.

I thought about a way tonight how to defend my long dschungle coastline, where there are no cities. Up to now I have only a railroad one square away from the water running around my big peninsula. So the opponent can not destroy the railroad first by hitting it with ships, and after the communication is destroyed, will land in the middle and I am faced with a problem. I guess he will come with maybe 10 galleons at once. So all my artilleries will be in action one turn long and he will attack sensible areas in my core simultaneously. My idea is now to keep a settler ready to build a town right in front of his landed troups. He will not be able to found a city! and can not move fast away. I have one turn more time to deal with them.

Another thought. Ships are really dangerous for the one, who owns them and runs democracy (at least should be in theory). Because when I shoot the ships down to one health bar with artillery, they have a long way home and in every turn 2 WWPs are recieved!

There is a function key for the palace view. F10 is space race, so it must be F11 or F12.
 
F11 is the city ranking for top 5 towns. F9 is for Palace. No idea why anyone would want to look at it though. I always want a preference to disable the popup. I solved that by playing lots of AW or Sid. :D
 
This is so dumb...I hit some key or another that moved my function keys to the side of the screen instead of low centre. What key/combo puts the buttons back where they 'belong' ? aaarrrggghhh

I find it very disconcerting to have to look for my buttons - they alter the order on the side.
