    Heu... No sorry, I don't get it... Is it because of the alliances? I've never played with teams. Do we collaborate in teams? And in this case, who gets the advantage of being the first to discover a tech (I think of course particularly of religions)?

    Yes. In a team game you both share a lot of things (including techs). When you discover a religion [or other tech that has a payoff] the team which receives it is semirandom; I say semi because if you discover two religions, whichever team receives the first religion, the other team will get the other inevitably.

    Wonders you also both share the advantages of in most cases IIRC, and team projects you work on together (like space ships I believe, though I've never got that far into a team game).

    OK, thanks Snoopy and Pinchak. Now I understand. You only need some patience with me

    So, team work goes far beyond what I thought. Looks really good!

    Check out snoopy's guide. The link is in his sig.

    I hace PM'd dacole to get the game set up. It will be his choice whether he uses Gamespy or Direct IP, although I am sure snoop has an opinion on this.

    And Ephack, yes, being teams in civ4 means being truly joined at the hip, unlike civ3 where it was an out-of-game agreement to share stuff in game. In civ4 it happens automatically - no need to 'trade' techs. It took me a bit to learn the ropes with this as well, in a team game running over at MZO.

    By absence of my teammate which means no discussion about the issue at hand is possible, I deem myself forced to choose Julius Caesar.

    Btw, I don't have a GameSpy login and I won't create one either (bad experiences with GameSpy). If there's no committed server hosting the game, I have to give my spot to the next in line (Aro I believe).

    i think somebody offered to host it. i also wouldn't want to use gamespy, for the same reason.

    beta, thanks for the info, but i meant connection for THIS game, not just generally

    We only know when the game is setup. It should either be server based (the easiest in my opinion) or with a permanent IP address.
    Both are connected to through the Multiplayer-->Direct IP-connection screen ingame. What I don't know if is we have to give a password beforehand to the one setting the game up, or give one in when we have the turn for the first time.

    The host sets the game password - which if it is direct IP we may be able to skip. You set your civ's password on the first turn.

    I am currently involved in 5 pitboss games. 3 run on gamespy - including one that I am hosting. 2 run via direct IP/server based, including the one that snoop is hosting.

    Having played with both, I think I would vote for the direct IP method.

    I felt the same way for a long time. The only reason I broke down recently was because that was how Faraxis was hosting multiplayer. Gamespy is truely a peice of garbage.

    So why do i host my Pittboss game with gamespy as opposed to direct ip?

    To use direct ip you need a static ip address. Personally, I like to be a moving target when it comes to hackers.

    In my experience with cable it is a dynamic IP (not static).

    There is a program you can use to lockdown your ip so it doesn't change. Check out Snoopy's guide, it should give the details in there.

    You set up your password on your first connection.

    Someone with no permanent ip address can just go to www.dyndns.org and set up a permanent dynamic dns entry That's what I have and it's worked like a charm. You just install a service on your computer that periodically updates your DNS entry with your current IP, and it's set Free, too, which is nice

    Hi and welcome Provi. Can we just wait a bit. dacole is supposed to host (and be my partner), but I sent him a PM 3 nights ago, and as of this moment, he has not opened it. It also indicates that he has not been on-line in 3 and half days. Which has me worried a bit about him hosting. Perhaps Aro should take this on. Any thoughts?

    ... And then we have to find you a new teammate...

    I think we should wait until this WE for Dacole's answer. And if he doesn't reappear, then I would suggest we go on with the process and Aro hosts. I will PM him sunday in this case (because he probably doesn't read this topic anymore).

    Well, in fact I will PM him now because even if dacole comes, Proviisori and him can form a team.

    OK, PM-box full. But hopefully he will come around soon...

    So, who will be first, Dacole or Aro?

    I vote for 1 as I don't know many of the people here and likly the best people would get together to play if we choose 2. As for getting it started works for me I have all my new computer parts and hope to be setting it up and getting it working today or tomorrow.

    sigh three days and your already freaking out....heh. If aro has more experience hosting by all means let him I have never hosted or played a pitboss game before. I will try to be around more often sorry about that. Greece greets you france (sooo glad this is a pitboss game as beta can tell you I like to plan my turns in a non-pitboss multiplayer game you would all be screaming at me for the turn...all the time)

    Today is a tough day in my work (It’s a common practice in journalism… We have to make two editions, one for Saturday and the other for Sunday – that means two cartoons), and I have a dinner (girlfriend's birthday) tonight… So, Friday is not the best day to begin. To me, at last…
    But tomorrow I’ll be ready for the game!
    What I have to do is read this thread with attention, and figure out all that pitboss stuff. Piece of cake… I hope!

    Well the pics on your cartoons are interesting as I don't speak the language can't say much else. I may have to have you make a forum pic for me though love yours.

    dacole - we are still up for having you hoist it if you want to. The more folks who get up to speed on this, the better for the community. Let us know. It is not that big a deal, other than you have to have your comp run ning 24/7, and you sort have to keep an eye on it from time to time.

    Yes - welcome team mate.

    And yes, that was 'interesting' the HOTW 8 game. If it wasn't me it was you. Well, learning curve for both of us, and I think we did quite well.

    Ok - now - we need two more sort of mediterranean civs. Let me see what Wyatt the draft choice official can come up with. Oh - not good. Aro got Mother Hubbard's Dog Biscuits, and provi, you got Alpo.
    Cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war .... aw, forget that nonsense. Beer, please.
