I have playtested Iraq for couple of years -- it can become very productive! Plus you have Copper, *hint*, *hint* lol

We basically just have to hear from Hercules. I have already played my first turn.

 

[Hercules90]

Still no joy. Getting denials. Can't get printscreen as yet.

Move on without me.

 

[Tigranes]

Not sure if I understand. "Move on without you" temporarily or permanently? Because, if temporarily -- you are the second player and I have played and sent you your first turn. But if permanently, then we need to look for another player. In both case we cannot move just yet, unfortunately.

If you still want to play I am sure I could help. You just need to elaborate what step is likely causing problems and what is the nature of those denials. 5 people of of 6 could make this work somehow, so I am sure your problems are solvable, in case you're still interested...

I'd give it a try if Hercules isn't answering or able to fix his problem.

 

[Tigranes]

I've offered my help, but did not hear from him except for right here.... What is your "technical" status -- can you load the attached save alright?

 

[Hercules90]

Sorry guys. I meet too many public maps (which do I change and which do I leave) and when I try to change from Custom earth 2010 to 2012 I get an Access denied.

Come again? Sorry but I still don´t understand the issue. Could you post a screenshot of the error message please?

 

[Tigranes]

Access denied sounds more like a Windows problem rather than BTS error, but ok. We will move on, like you have said. Poor President Chavez will go to "small country in Europe", most likely Austria or Switzerland ( where else do they eat knoedels? ).

Speaking of which -- dear Imp. Knoedel, I think I sent you my email and never learned yours. I gonna need one to send you your first turn, you know

No I can't. It starts and gets so far then the Arrow changes from Civ arrow/ spear pointer to normal pointer and stops loading, though it is trying.

I seem to have an earth 2010 folder within new 2012 folder and that earth 2010 folder seems to have another 2010 folder, which may or may not have been updated with update 6.

When I try to change Mod
2010 to 2012 I get the Access denied error.

Btw At one stage I did get that merge from Windows request but not now after these recent attempts.

Austria, although I was in Switzerland once but I rarely ate because I was like "15€ for one Pizza? nopenopenopenopenope".

Oh yes, I´ll send you the adress per PM, but I still haven´t actually downloaded the mod. Would you be so kind and give me a link?

That is the problem with Vista / Win 7 installs.

By default the game installed in Program Files and this is protected now.

To get around this issue, I installed Civ IV in a separate folder as per my thread.

Wouldn´t it be enough to just run the game as an administrator?

I'll take Iraq so I can have the great American power backing me!

I know this is just a coincidence, but my old rival being an US-vassal and me playing Chavez is hilarious I think.

Welcome! His Excellency burned your Baghdad in parallel universe, so you got yourself a brand new one here .

Let´s see if I can do it again.

Chavez is still alive in 2010 )

Even if he weren´t I´d just played him as a zombie/mutant/cyborg.

Updated the second post to include all the links!

Austria has at least two cities with Legendary Culture But one needs 3 for Cultural Victory. Good thing Culture Victory is disabled in our game -- some civs may never grow past original 2 cities. In case you really want to attack Baghdad -- you need to make China declare on USA. Or break free and get beaten up by your Master first. This game will offer very different experience. Likely no open war for 120 turns. We will advance our nations and mostly terrorize each other here in Latin America, since you are my noisy next door neighbor. Build Spies, build Special Forces and stay alert. Some Barbarian Revolutionary Guerrillas/Narcotraffickers may spill over from my jungles to yours.
My country is producing 90% of World's cocaine, in case you weren't briefed on the issue Not that I am proud of it, but still -- it's not all quite in this part of the World...

The only good thing is that we wont be fighting culture wars -- borders are fixed in this marvel of moding achievements!

Updating players' list and sending you the first turn! Let's get this started, fellow underdogs!

Ahhh. New Year and in a New Office. President Santos felt really relaxed -- no elections for the next 10 years, we are second in score (after Chavez) and we have mighty Brazil gifting us some Gems. Brazil is the World's leading producer of Gems and colored gemstones, so this felt very appropriate. Quick look into our capital Bogota -- Colombians are suffering from lots of (whopping -9 ), but happy number of World countries are willing to trade, and they charge like 8 golds per food resource -- sounds like a bargain. The more we trade on the first turn the less items will be available for our opponents, it's great to start first ! So Santos tried to play a game of touching his fingers (Picture 1) while talking on National Television. Topic of his talk? Oh, he decided to boost Colombian image by employing Senorita Colombia 2009 -- lovely Natalia Navarro as his good will ambassador. So, fellow presidents, when you see a trade proposal from Colombia in the future -- just imagine her instead of Santos's art. And always agree with her offers, I mean how could you refuse a darling like her (Pictures 2 and 3)

Spoiler :

GPS to Chavez. You guys were hoping for some Senorita Colombia related comment, weren't you?

I know they don´t like me and I don´t like them, but I just sold the American devils half of our monthly produced oil for some of them Hollywood Movies and delicious Burgers. Also I and Comrade Casto upgraded a great deal of our military to face the new threat posed by Colombian terrorists. You can´t fool me Miss Natalia, I know what you´re up to!

In a radical move, Kenya has decided to embrace our Indian leader's culture in an effort to invigorate my people. We have invested some of Kenya's treasury into Bollywood film production, and in fact, there were talks with some of their producers and we may very well see a new Bollywood picture being filmed right in the heart of our country! This is a very exciting opportunity for Kenya and we will be making every effort to ensure a pleasant and safe experience here for the crew.

The file went to Congo, I assume... I am missing kiwitt in all my game I know he is really busy in RL, so I hope thigs will sort out favorably and he will post something here...

 

[methinkso]

Yes, I sent to KiwiTT.
