Is there any way I can test if I can be a turn-player? Maybe make a test pitboss game for myself to see if it works? I'd like to know if I can be a turn-player, but I'm not sure at this point since I've never done a game like this.

Well, as a Turn Player in Civ 3, experience is helpful but not required. And by this I mean that if you are a solid player at the medium difficulty ranges, you should do fine as a Turn Player. You don't have to win at Sid to do a good turn.But the turn player must be very experienced player,
Oh, yes we can.we can take decisions in the forums but micro is very important...and obviously we cannot go through every small detail here as the game progresses..
I am willing to trust you as Turn Player since you have experience with the game. But I do disagree with you on some points. I can trust you completely and still disagree with you.I don't say it has to be me commando...You don't trust me that is fine...
Yes, but you are talking about solo mp games. This is a team effort and that does make a difference.But it HAS to be an experienced player...getting someone who is playing medium levels against ai to do the turn player it is with 100% certainty that we will be ages behind more experienced teams before we know it.
I know because I have been there...playing with ai at medium levels..and after 2 years of multiplayer I can tell you the gap is huge...
This might sound aroggant but it is how things are..
I really don't see any reason that the Turn Player could not post every single detail, especially early in the game. The game logs a lot of stuff anyway. And since the Turn Player is going to post a log of what they do on the turn anyway, so that we don't have to log into the game to see what has occurred, I'm sure that they are going to include their reasons for their actions in the log.The clock on this game will be 24 hours...you think the turn player will post here every single detail, every day and we will come to an agreemet here on what he will do?
I don't think so..... strategic choices will be made here....micro will be left to the turn player and all those who log in the game and see what is going on...
Not a problem. Let the exchanges begin!Ok...from my part I will do my best to help from any role...
I realize there are not many multiplayer players here.....so it will be even more interesting to exchange ideas...mix it up and see how it goes...
Lets have fun![]()
It is my understanding that Civ IV games typically have fewer cities than C3C. This sounds like a good way to pick up some MM skills along the way, too.I have experience of both single and multi player, including hosting a PitBoss game.
In BTS my strengths are Diplomacy and Espionage. I can micromanage pretty well too.
I think that it is a good idea to have some loose formal positions for overall management; finance, domestic, foreign and defence come immediately to mind- it will be more likely to keep people involved - with the understanding that anyone can contribute in any area.
Also, with the idea of keeping people involved, we could have team members assigned to individual cities as governors for micromanagement, again with the understanding that anyone could contribute.

Ok I'm not sure how pit boss works. Does this 24 hour clock mean all teams must play a turn within 24 hours of the first team or within 24 hours of the team before them? If it's the latter then we won't have to make decisions every day. It could be as long as five days between our turns.
Welcome to the forum Herviov!Hi everybody. I've been out of touch but here I am.
Just an FYI, I started this thread, Turns 0 to 10, as a place to record/log/post/discuss what we do on these turns.
