Just to say I am away until monday so BLubmuz will be subing for me over the weekend.

It's a lonely, empty world devoid of resources, this one.

Grant2004, we've fallen bottom of the standings, as fated by the RNG.

In other news, I've located the placement of my 2nd city. It's only 14 tiles from my capital.

 

[classical_hero]

I have plenty of good land for a few cities right now.

If htere is anyone who needs a sub I can take their place.

 

[BCLG100]

Perhaps Dave could add a list of subs to the first post for those that don't have anyone else to do so? I believe we have a couple of offers now.

 

[Lord Parkin]

SilentConfusion and remake20 so far, as I recall.

 

[Ceiliazul]

I sent PM to remake20 to request sub for the next week.

 

[BCLG100]

Just to foreshadow the eventual discussion on the subject.

I am perfectly ok with any sub of mine having already subbed for someone else and likewise I am happy for someone that has subbed for me being somebody elses sub.

I would however add a caveat that I would prefer that they do not sub for civs which are at war with each other (i.e. 1 week civ A 2nd week civ B, both civ A & B are at war). Obviously it is nicer to try and find subs that have not subbed elsewhere but if it is not possible then it should be allowed imo.

 

[DaveShack]

I agree with this proposed guideline.

 

[remake20]

I will take his civ for now. Which one is he?

 

[Lord Parkin]

England. You'll need his password, I presume he's sent that to you.

 

[remake20]

Not yet actually, but I suspect he will.

 

[Ceiliazul]

I'm struggling to reset my password... I click "Your Details", and I see "****" in the password box. I clear it and type a new new one. Then I click "OK" and "Exit to Main Menu"

5 mins later my original password still works. New one doesn't.

Solutions?

 

[Lord Parkin]

As already mentioned earlier, trying to reset your password via "Your Details" is bugged and doesn't work. To reset your password, you must follow the following steps:

1. Finish all your moves for the turn, and hit enter.
2. Resign (switches your civ to AI temporarily, but doesn't do any damage if you've finished turn).
3. Log back into the game immediately. You will take the civ back from the AI and be able to set a new password in the place you usually type in your password to enter the game.
4. Log out again.

It's a convoluted method, but it's the only one that works.

Hope that helps.

Thanks Parkin, PM sent to Remake20 with details.

 

[remake20]

Ceiliazul's start is terrible! The initial city site okay, but there is nothing, but ice for 30 tiles in all directions!!!!

 

[classical_hero]

That is why we have a map maker for the demogame, to stop such sites from happening.

All that was needed here was a map checker, a two minute glance would have confirmed the woefullness of some of the starts and a quick regeneration would have solved the issue

 

[hell_hound]

Thing is with this many people at least one person is going to have an atrocious start for one reason or another. Someone is always just going to have to suck it up and play on nonetheless.
