want to try this out... anyone?

[nrseven]

I'd love to see if my pc lets me play PBEM-games.
It's below minimum requirements but I can play singleplayer.
Multiplayer (internetgames) don't work though.

I'm very noob in Civilization but if anyone would want to try to play a game with me I'd be very grateful.

bye ^^

 

[jerry247]

i'm always up for a game

 

[nrseven]

great to hear

I hope it will work, because loading a savefile from another pc didn't.
And it's kind of the same thing with PBEM I guess.

And if it does, I'll prepare for my defeat

Thanks either way, though.

I guess you need my e-mail: numbuh_seven@msn.com

Pls set up the game if you will, because the screen is to dark and I can't read a thing

Ingame I only miss textures, that's a good thing

I'm off to bed now, nightnight who ever's reading this

srry, the emotes are TOO funny

 

[jerry247]

i won't be able to set it up tonight, prob tomorrow night though! anyone else want in?

 

[nrseven]

in case someone is looking for a game to join.

 

[Cormacc]

I would be interested in joining. I am a complete newbie to the pbem so I woud appreciate some help with what I need to do to set things up on my end. What do you all need from me for the game?

 

[jerry247]

i just need email, leader, and time zone (relative to GMT is easiest)
time zone is for the turn order.

 

[Cormacc]

My email is cormacc@ameritech.net and my leader would be Kublai Khan and my Time zone is GMT-5 or EST. Also Do I need to set up a game in pbem or wait until you send me the file and just load that. thanks for the asssist.

 

[jerry247]

i'll just send a file after I've set everything up. nrseven, leader?

 

[Abdukrahman]

Hey do you think I could get in on this too? My email is rjharder@gmail.com

Time zone is central (-6 I think?) and my leader would be Huayna Capac.

Hope I got in in time. If not that's ok.

 

[jerry247]

sure thing Abdukrahman. just waiting for nrseven and me to get off work!

 

[nrseven]

leader doesn't matter to me, random is fine.
timezone: gmt+1

 

[Abdukrahman]

I'm new to this too but I'm on a lot so hopefully we won't have to wait for me ever. Do I pretty much just wait for the email now and open it with civ IV?

 

[jerry247]

thats right, i get off work at 7PST (1hr 15 min) and I'll set it up and send it off when I get home. we'll go in time zone order:
me
nrseven
cor
abu

 

[jerry247]

ok, i left everything default, except i changed it to quick!

sent

BTW, my email is r1ch.outlook[at]gmail.com

 

[Abdukrahman]

Cool. I hope we can get a couple turns in tonight so I have an excuse to take a break from studying chem.

 

[nrseven]

what do you have to enter in the FMPT-box?
or fmpt-server... don't quite remember.

also, I got Kublai Khan I think, I'm sure I'm mongolian, so I guess it was him.

and... I have to send the game to Alexander manually I think.
who's that? and e-mail when it's not posted plz.

Except for me not knowing how to handle all this, the game seems to work.
thx all for letting me find a way to play multiplayer.


edit: I was expecting a mail but the game did it by himself.
My guess is that I have to send manually until that 'Alt+d' box is filled in correctly, am I right?
Or is a mail allready sent to the right person? (guess not)
srry bout all this stuff I don't know yet btw

 

[jerry247]

Don't worry about the SMTP, send it to cormacc his is listed above. Its in my doc/civ 4/saves/pbem folder. He should be kubli kahn, did you take 2 turns, or did I mess it up?

 

[nrseven]

I suppose you started a new game.
I'm americans now and have sent the file to carmacc manually so it should work now.

 

[Abdukrahman]

Sent it back to jerry. Hopefully now we've got the hang of things.
