Return to 2 Civs ...

[Dazz_G]

I don't really understand why you can and I don't see what I can do about it.

Only thing I can think of is that what you can see may be where you were located before Imhotep repositioned you.

Either way, if that turns out to be the only glitch then I think we can all live with that.

This will be a Civ4 VANILLA PBEM with each player taking control of 2 teamed civs.

Players :

1. Dazz_G GMT
2. Ruff Hi GMT -5
3. jbieksha GMT -5
4. Chasbolt GMT -5
5. Mitchum GMT-8

According to the email ... the play order is:

1. Dazz_G GMT
2. Mitchum GMT-8
3. jbieksha GMT -5
4. Chasbolt GMT -5
5. Ruff Hi GMT -5

So, if Mitch gets the game at 8pm (his time) and emails it on, it will hit the Eastern seaboard (Joe, Chas and me) at 11pm. This isn't the optimal play order (best is GMT -> GMT-5 -> GMT-8 -> GMT). Just something to note.

Thanks for the trick Ruff, worked great, the turn should be in your hands.

Dazz you want an email after each send or a post here?

 

[Mitchum]

FYI: I can typically play my turns as soon as I get them. Often times, I have a turn waiting for me in the morning if I'm playing with anyone from Europe. I will get my turns to the Eastern seaboard well before 11 PM (assuming I get my turn before 8 PM Pacific time).

So far the trick is working for me too

Don't mind an email or a post ... either is good for me.

Played and sent to Mitch.

I know ... I screwed that up.

When compiling who was playing what civs, I made a list based on who responded first and so on. Problem is, when I PM'd Imhotep, I forgot to rearrange based on time zones so Mitch jumped to second in the play order

 

[Mitchum]

Played and sent... earlier than 10 PM EDT too...

That is good to know. With my daily rehab, I play a LOT of my turns before 10AM GMT so you should often find this turn waiting for you in the morning. Even when I eventually get back to work this should still be the case.

Hope you have fun. I have tried to make sure everybody has fair starting positions, and I did that also for the AI. It would be cool if someone could post some screenies or send them via PM to me once in a while, I'd be interested how this game develops...

 

[ruff_hi]

I must be getting to use to 'mapfinder' starts. Looking forward to meeting my continent mates.

Ruff, don't wander too far looking for your continent mates. Someone is liable to come from the opposite direction and take your undefended capital...

Imhotep, thanks for setting this up for us. Post again in this thread in about 20 turns and I'll send you my update.

Ruff, don't wander too far looking for your continent mates. Someone is liable to come from the opposite direction and take your undefended capital...

what! and miss all of the goodie huts.

Spoiler :

I know, no goodie huts ... unless Imhotep missed one or two

 

[·Imhotep·]

@ruff:

It was a PITA to remove them as they have no indicator like resources . And they were many, that map is so huge. But I think I got all of them, I checked twice .

 

[ruff_hi]

I'm not sure - but it might have been possible to search the WB.sav text file for 'goodie nut' or similar.

Have we stalled ?

 

[ruff_hi]

[jbieksha]

Mitch is in China on business. He sent an email yesterday to a bunch of people.
