It was indeed strange. From written and oral records it can be determined that all civilizations which settled on the great inland sea, quite independent of each other, came to recognize it as the Bohemian Sea. Legend has it that a great maritime civilization - known as Bohemia - once blessed its shores and sailed its waters. It was the epitome of 'civilization', quite advanced for its time in history..
But some disaster befell Bohemia, and it disappeared from the landscape, with no clues as to what came of it. An earthquake or flood perhaps. Or did it ever really exist?
The legend gave us the name of the sea, and thus the endeavours of the people who now border are known as the Bohemian Epic.

Beta, I take it that when the game is also added to CivStats, the password for it will also be 'seagull'? (Just to keep things simple)

Snoop or pinchak - I have two windows open. One says"Bohemian Epic succesfully saved" and gives me the option at the bottom to save game or exit game. It is the screen with the MotD on it. (Not sure why my welcome message did not appear??)
What do I do with it?
The second is the is the C: ..... pitboss.exe window - looks like an old DOS window. I presume this remains active???
And - if the game goes down - how does one reboot?
(in other words - I've got this plane in the air - now what the he11 do I do???)
Cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war .... aw, forget that nonsense. Beer, please.
Damn - we're going down! Crash and burn.
The computer accidentally got unplugged when we were re-arranging space heaters. Guess I gotta figure this out now. Rebooting ... I hope.
edit: my wife wants to make sure that everyone is aware that it was NOT her that pulled the plug, but rather, yours truly.

Don't think I did the correctly - or it takes you back to the last save - which is 4000BC. It is the same start - but Witt and Flamer will ahve to replay. Sorry folks. Learning curve.

OK - the game is in civstats. Your passwords are all the same as the game - seagull.

Both windows must remain active. Just minimize them and get used to them being in your process bar for the next 6 months to a year.
The DOS window is the actual pittboss process. The only use i have found for it (besides running the game) is that when the game crashes sometimes the last command line gives insight as to why.
The other window (with MOTD) is more of the managers window. To have a MOTD you have to click on "change motd" button then write it in the new window. Also, make sure "display motd" box is checked. The major usefulness of this window (besides motd) is saving the game locally when gamespy crashes. If GS crashes, hit the save game button in this window, then when you reboot pittboss you can start with this save.
You have the same questions I had when first starting "The New World". Keeping your comp up 24/7 is also something that takes learning. I must have crashed about 5 games in the begining due to either my wife or myself shutting the thing off out of habit. That really sucks because then you can't save it locally and alot of ppl get mad because they have to replay their turn.
Love the backstory btw.
Wish i would have come up with one for my game... sort of sets the stage.
Geez Beta, you can't even keep it up for one turn...
Kudos to Beta just the same!
Oh, and turn replayed, no harm done.

But I didn't tell you the real reason the computer became unplugged. It is under the kitchen table....Originally posted by Rhothaerill Geez Beta, you can't even keep it up for one turn...
Thanks Witt! Sooner or later we wil all have to host one.Originally posted by WittlichKudos to Beta just the same!

And thanks for the info, pinchak. That helps explain what my next steps are.
You have also explained what one needs to do when GS goes down.

Under the kitchen table? How ghetto.
Speaking of things that make me laugh... when I first saw the "Persia will rule the earth" pic I thought it was a picture of only 8 guys laying seige to something (didn't notice the blue background men). The guy giving orders in the background made it even funnier.
Oh, and i finally got a little badge to go under my name!!! I thought initially you had to "pay your dues"... you know... kiss of death and all.
Only thing is... they don't have one for the ultra old school civ multiplayer.

Wahou ! Respect ! I only begun with civI, which I don't have anymore. But I remember with nostalgy the fierce square knight destroying the poor square warrior near the square city of Rom. That was definitively already a great game !Originally posted by pinchak
*still has freeciv on a 3.5 inch disk*
So... I did it ! I could log in a play my turn ! I had a small problem and I asked my friend google to help me. It directed me to... your first pitboss game Beta !
Is there any configuration to do from the player's side ?
Hmmm, after closer inspection it does look like there are Civ2 badges. They are more associated with pbem though as opposed to freeciv.
And yes, the first one was a whole lot of square fun! While the other kids were playing basketball or riding scooters i was perpetually locked in virtual world struggles with 8-bit empires.
Any of you guys play Wasteland? Now there was a game the proved that content trumps graphics.
Player side configuration: no, other than giving yourself a password.
Beta, make sure to use that 'save game' option. If the game is still running but the timer's stopped, then 'save game', and exit the game, and restart it. Gamespy will drop probably once a week or so, just glance at the game once in a while.
As long as you keep a MotD on, you can easily see who's logged in and who hasn't

Tell that to Mel Gibson in Braveheart and you would lose your head.
It is not my fault that your men get confused when they see colorful clothes and can't fight properly.
