Nice work mr999. Let's hope Jeff checks in soon, he last posted on the 13th. I'll send him a PM.

Red borders to the south. This must be a long skinny continent.

Three man team is okay with me Mad-Bax , but if you want to add some players that's okay with me too. You make the call, I'm mellow.

 

[Jeff1787]

I'll download the save and play my turns......Jeff

Jeff1787-just played


Turn 31...2510 BC: Southernmost warrior continues to move south. I moved the citizen as mr999 just suggested. I am moving the northernmost warrior to fortify inside of the capitol.

Turn 32...2470 BC: Warrior continues to move south. The worker completed the mine and is now putting in a road. I met Babylon to the south. They had nothing to offer but 10 gold so I sold them masonry for the 10 gold and did the same with the Zulus. We now have 38 gold.

Turn 33...2430 BC: Barracks are completed. I am now building a settler in 6 turns. Warrior still moving south. Iron working will be finished in 4 turns.

Turn 34...2390 BC: I moved the worker to the forrest just S/W of the city. The warrior continues to move southeasterly. I moved the science slider to 80% and we still get iron working in 3 turns. Aztecs and Zulus have wheel, but won't sell or trade it.

Turn 35...2350 BC: Worker is now building a road in the forrest/furs. I think the next city should be near the bottleneck to the south and the worker should build a road to it. Science slider moved to 60% and we still get iron working in 2 turns. The capitol is now population 4.

Turn 36...2310 BC: The warrior is now within view of the Zulu city to the south. Science slider moved to 50% and we get iron working the next turn.

Turn 37...2270 BC: We now have iron working so I went next for the Alphabet and put the science slider on 100% so we get it in 15 turns. The warrior is now moving to the unexplored area south of the Aztecs. We have iron 2 squares south of the capitol. I traded iron working to the zulus for the wheel.

Turn 38...2230 BC: Settler done and moving to the south. Capitol back to 2 population. Now building a spearman. At 90% science, alphabet in 19 turns.

Turn 39...2190 BC: Worker completed the road and moved one square to the south.

Turn 40...2150 BC: Worker is building a road.

I think we should build our city close to the bottleneck to the south.

 

[Jeff1787]

I forgot to mention that our score is 58.

 

[handy900]

Iron near the capital.

I think I can Play Friday since it looks like my out of town trip is not going to happen. Saturday at the worst.

 

[handy900]

I can't seem to get the file to load.

PC says: "DATA IO operation system error."

Can you upload the save again?

 

[Jeff1787]

Here is the file again....Jeff

 

[mr999]

That one didn't work either. Have you tried if you can open it yourself? If you can, I have no idea why, but if you can't, you have to start all over from my save.

 

[handy900]

I can't open it either. I tried vanilla civ & PTW. I'm not much of a computer guy, but I'm wondering if it's a patch thing.

Jeff - did you play in PTW with patch 1.27f? If you did it will say 1.27f in the lower left corner of your screen on the main menu page.

I guess I'll play from your file mr999 as you suggested later today (Saturday) if Jeff has not posted another save I can open.

First I'm off to the Zoo to enjoy the beautiful outdoors we get this time of the year here in Tennessee. Our zoo has Giant Pandas now, and everything is in bloom.

In July, it's like a sauna outside. In July, it's lazy times at the lake to water ski all day long.

 

[Jeff1787]

I used the PTW that is contained within Conquests. Maybe that is the problem......I'm not using the stand alone PTW.

 

[mr999]

Jeff: I understand but I don't think that's the problem because then you wouldn't have been able to load my save file as I used standard PTW.
Can you load the save file?
If you can you were probably right, but if it don't work, the file is corrupt as the game is saying. You have to start over from my save if that's the case.

 

[mad-bax]

Jeff:
To be honest Jeff I am pretty much convinced you are playing 1.14f, and you need to upgrade to 1.27f.

Can you download and run the save you posted? If yes, then are you certain you are playing 1.27f? It shows the version in the bottom left hand corner of the title splash. IF it says 1.14f or something, then download the 1.27f patch and install it.

If No...
Can you run the save before you posted it? If you can, then zip the save and post it.

If this doesn't work...
Can you change a city build and resave?

 

[Jeff1787]

I just downloaded PTW version 1.27f. I will replay my 10 turns and upload the file. I think the problem is that I am playing PTW through Conquests. If the new file doesn't work then I don't know what to do.

 

[mad-bax]

If you have the conquests disk we will get you up and running. No problem.

 

[Jeff1787]

OK, here is the new file. I hope it works.

 

[mad-bax]

Jeff it still won't load. Can you zip it and upload it please?

 

[Jeff1787]

OK, is this what u mean?

 

[mad-bax]

No it's still no good. I'll ask the GOTM staff to have a look.

To keep the game running I suggest Handy plays 20 turns, replicating your ten from the turnlog plus another ten of his own.

 

[mad-bax]

Jeff:

The save you posted has been analysed by GOTM staff. The save is a Conquests save, not PTW. In order to play this game you need to use the PTW executable, not Conquests.

If you have used the default installation procedure for conquests then you will be able to run PTW 1.27f by selecting it from the "Start" Menu as shown in the attached picture.

I think I can play Sunday night 4-18-04 from the last PTW save mr999 posted. If Jeff has not replayed & posted his turns by the time I get ready, I'll post a "got it" later today and will begin to play.
