Welcome to your BtS SGOTM 18 Team Thread. Please use it for all internal team communication, turn logs and discussions. Subscribe to it to receive notifications, and do not visit the other team threads for this game until you have finished. Please also subscribe to the
Maintenance Thread for this game, where teams and staff may post non-spoiler information of general interest.

You can find the Game Details in the first post of the Maintenance Thread. If any changes occur in the game settings or rules, I shall post them in that thread, and edit that post.

Please wait until your team leader/administrator/scribe has reserved a couple of top posts in this thread for game admin information. Then post here to let your team know you have arrived.

Good luck, have fun ... and never trust a mapmaker :mischief:

Team BadCiv game Summary
  • Turn 0 not yet played!
 
Setup
  • the mod is a big pain to set up right, but if you're running civ4 via steam then you need to set mod = Mods\BUFFY-3.19.003 in your config file and then run civ4 as an administrator via a shortcut.
  • try to load the current BOTM from the root game of the month forum to see if the mod works right; you should be able to load the mod and the save without any errors.
  • other teams OPs for SGOTM17 suggest seting your ini files so that autosave is set to every turn. (that is, set MaxAutoSaves = 50 and AutoSaveInterval = 1 in the .ini file) I think this because the BUFFY mod has some problems with crashing (I had a crash that actually shut down my laptop somehow when trying out the mod in BGOTM68 :eek:) and we don't want to replay turns since they're kinda a big production.
  • don't read (and especially don't post in) other teams threads.
  • No reloads from a previous point, ever! you know who I'm talkign to here!
  • piost in this thread as much as you possibly can.

Game objectives: (http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=504782)
  • raze Dr. Evil's lair, which is apparently impenetrable (maybe requires paratroopers? or maybe it just has some kinda uberdefender? idk.)
  • somehow recapture our Swinger's Pad, which has The Mids.
  • Swinger's Pad is legendary without using any great artists (but apparently spies are OK).
  • win the game via spaceship, UN, or culture. apparently other AIs start out with advanced techs (similar to how we have fusion), so this may make a spaceship victory very hard if the game goes on that long. also, presumably Dr. Evil has fission and maybe even the manhatten project since the OP of the maintenance thread mentions that we're toast if he ever reveals uranium.

Playing Turns:
  • the "turn guy" is in charge playing a set of turns. we rotate to the next guy on the list every time we stop.
  • before turnguy plays them though, we all gripe and argue about how terrible the last guy who played did and how the game is now unwinnable, and also try to come to a consensus about how best to play the next set of turns. post your plans with strength and great honour. any weakness or uncertainty in your tone betrays a flaw in your plan. only the most confident will lead us to victory.
  • turnguy should try to play according to the plan. try to check every city every turn.
  • if anything out of the ordinary happens, STOP PLAYING TURNS AND POST ABOUT IT!! from what I can tell, teams play sessions tend to be very short, maybe a few turns at most (slightly longer during the explore phase, slightly longer when the game is in wrapup phase).
  • when playing the turns, take LOTS of screenshots, since not everyone on our team will actually be on the turnlist. also, use alt-s to put little reminder notes on the map about stuff, e.g. where barb animals are, where scouts were sighted, etc etc etc. use alt-m to set reminders.

Currently turnguy:
  • Tall German Joe
  • boak
  • hipster scumbag
  • fizzy
  • john s
  • borsche
  • You?

if you want to be added to the turnlist, post in the thread. if you're up (or up next or w/e) and you can't play the turns or read the thread within like, idk, lets say 4 days, post in this thread. please read the thread before you play.

anyways, that's all I got. if you want to read an OP by a team that's actually competent, read this one: http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=488778.
 
also i managed to set up BUFFY real easy and loaded some save successfully despite using steam. just run the installer, copy/create a new desktop shortcut and add mod=" BUFFY-3.19.003" to the path. the space after the opening double quote seems to be necessary. also i didnt run as administrator? but i have UAC disabled so that might be all you need.
 
its gonna be a week or so before I have enough time to be on the turn queue sorry.

Click to expand...

its probably gonna take us a week before we get to the third person in the queue so don't worry lol. i'll add you for now but if we get to you before we're ready we can just skip you
 
Yeah, same as johns. Still have classes until next week but after then I can try out the mod and make sure everything works and then try out some turns. But that isn't what this game is about anyway, who takes the turns is of no importance. What matters is that we come together to end Dr. Evil's... evil... once and for all.
 
i still haven't won an emperor game yet. looking forward to ruining this game for everyone. chears! ;)
 
i can go fifth, though i'll probably have to do most of my turn stuff on the weekend
 
i wish the saves were out so we had something to talk about already.
 
so you'll probably end up saving and quitting several times within your set of turns right? if you're doing ~10 turns and you have to stop and talk about it every so often, that's gonna take a while

obviously i'm not talking about reloading from prior saves here geezle pete:sad:
