@Mauer: I've added you to the list of alternates. I also posted a note to the SG Registry, to let people know that I have a list of alternates in case someone needs a player to fill a spot or round out a roster.
I'd love it if a couple of Emperor-Plus level guys dropped by and volunteered to "lead the charge" for a Roster D, but at this point I wouldn't hold my breath. Hopefully someone will see your names on the alternate list and offer drag you into a game somewhere so you can have some fun.

mad-bax said:I'm not sure what you did to break the installs. If you install to the wrong directory it will not break the original game. Most likely is that you have installed gotm24 to the wrong directory. This is because the installer for this pack tries to install to the default install path unless you stop it. When you get in the groove in installing these things one after the other it's easy to miss the difference. You should still be able to play the original though.
What error message do you get for each version?
Well. I tried something CLOSE, but not quite right. I copied over my C3C installation to a new directory, and tried reinstalling Civ3 to get a Vanilla installation. Somewhere in the installations procedure, it uninstalled just enough of my C3C installation that it didn't work.
I've since backed up the save games I want, and I'll be following Gator's instructions when I get home tonight.
Just out of curiosity, can I can run the Vanilla version of my C3C install using the C3C cd, or will I need to keep the Civ3 CD? (Other people in my house like that CD, silly moochers)

I'd love to see a roster D, if there's any volunteers to teach us. Incidentally, I just scored my first monarch victory, in the COTM! What I really need to learn is how to cope better with no/low-research strats, and become a little more proficient at warmongering.

You mean there is an inside joke between both of you?

Actually Alan, it looks like one of the mebers of team C may be crossing over to your side of the fence. Since we're playing a C3C version, he won't be able to stay with us.
Where are you guys at? Any chance of slotting him in, or is it too late now?

We've just played our first 30 turns so I don;t think it's too late. We have a full complement at the moment, I think, but Karasu is the team leader, so I'll defer to him. Are we talking gold or silver wings?

We're talking silver wings. I realize it may be akward to try to slot him in now, but he went and made a deal to buy an ibook before he realized that conquests wasn't available for macs (not that it would have necessarily made a difference).
I'll try to PM Karasu later to get his take on it (leaving work right now), unless you happen to talk to him sooner....

BTW, what was the final determination on lurh\king in the other threads? I could see not lurking in Team A's, but Team B's map is entirely different, right?

Well, AFAIK, we are going to be eliminating the other teams civ as soon as we can validate the start location. Although I would try to be fair, I also wouldn't want to "spoil" myself with knowledge of other landmasses, resources, etc.
I will take that invite and come bug you guys though.

Please do. Perhaps you'll be able to work out how there are barb galleys sailing around, and a galley in a rival's capital city, when mapmaking has not appeared on any F4 screens yet

Are you sure they're galleys and not some other type of boat? IIRC, there are some GOTM mod tribes that have early boats... "the Tokugawa" comes to mind...AlanH said:Please do.

As far as lurking goes, I recommend against cross-lurking for the players on Rosters A and C, since we're playing different parts of the same map. The exploration/contact phase of the game is a lot of fun, and foreknowledge will ruin ("spoil") that phase of the game.
Since Roster B is playing a different map, I see no problem with Roster B players lurking A and C, and with A/C players lurking B.
Could you guys on Roster B do us a favor and take some cool screenies of the stuff that's unique to the GOTM mods? Please?
And with respect to SlickNick, Karasu indicated to me in a PM that he'd take him on Roster B when he got set up. Apparently his first iBook didn't work... (insert favorite Mac joke here...)
