[St Jon]

Happiest with that but even happier that I managed to install the mod without having to re-install the entire game!

I just installed the NoScore mod and logged in to the test pitboss game fine. Thx CS for professional instructions.

Just checking that it's OK that I can't move my starting settler or scout?

Hehe, I don't understand why all of you are so mod-shy. It really isn't that complicated. Click & drag a folder into the mod folder. That's all it takes to install a mod. Couldn't be easier.

[OzzyKP]

Ok, map finished! I hope y'all like it! I sent CS the link.

[LzPrst]

starting today? or is it april fool's?

Can any of you log in and build a city for Egypt (for example, any other civ without city yet would do, but ofc you don't know which are those)? write here if you had any problem doing that. -I had oos whenever tried to build a city.
also, try to do this with the viking.(I couldnt move with them, though the reason might be that they were taken by an other player, but still strange..)

I will reinstall my civ4 later, just to be sure it's not the problem

[Robert Plomp]

I had weird problems with Egypt as well. I'm rebooting the server now and I'll then start a new test game.

[deity]

Can log in yet?

[Robert Plomp]

I have started a new game now. (available at the same place).
There are some errors in the pitboss window, or better: warnings. not sure if those are problematic.

Anyway, please test it again!

I got in as Greeks OK but still can not move the units... the NoScore seems to be working.

[Robert Plomp]

Hmm, that means there is something wrong after all.
Yesterday I think I was able to move units....

[Hercules]

I got in as Greeks OK but still can not move the units... the NoScore seems to be working.

Same here, I got in as India.

[deity]

My intuition tell me that we will have trouble.

This is a simple game so lets get it started with ozzy's map.

We can perfect NoScore (maybe) for the next big diplo game...

[Robert Plomp]

Ok, will do that.
It'll be a first comes, first serves approach. (can't make do it differently I think)

[deity]

Yeah, I think it's best.

Everyone is itching to get started and now that we have ozzy's map and no one can complain, it's all go!

FORGET THE MOD FOLKS. Cyber is loading up the new ozzy map and then we get cracking.

I think 48 hour timer for the start should be fine Cyber

[Robert Plomp]

Let's start with 48, the turn will move to the next one as soon as everybody has played anyway. It would be a problem if someone misses his first turn.

[mzprox]

Bah.. the game could last for years and you can't wait a day till we figure out what the probléem is..

[deity]

Bah.. the game could last for years and you can't wait a day till we figure out what the probléem is..

People will drift away. Let's get started we have to make a decision and we have

Sorry, but as soon as something doesn't quite work it means there could be more issues. 13 people around the world want a straight forward game.

Better to use NoScore in the big diplo starting after DoC (one is starting according to Cyber RP, the awesome one)

[LzPrst]

how do I know what civ is mine?

[mzprox]

I guess you pick one.. which is not exactly random.. but people are in hurry here , we could had brainstorma bit how to make it true random

[deity]

Late comers to this game, please read over the thread - started Martch 18.

As soon as Cyber says the game is up, I'll send a new PM to all 13 players with instructions, cheez....

But yes, you pick an available civ and you must put a password on it to stop someone else double selecting it...

[LzPrst]

but if mz logs in and chooses greeks then logs out. then I log in and I have 11 choices..? or do the choices disappear?

[mzprox]

You will see in civstats or in 'playyourturn' which civs are taken already, also you must set a password when you take a civ so no one else could log in with it.

[Robert Plomp]

We may be able to apply the mod later to the game.

[LzPrst]

have I missed the first turn?
acording to: http://www.playyourturn.com/?page_id=17&gameID=109

is that the wrong one?

[Robert Plomp]

Game's up
DON'T USE THE NOSCORE MOD! WE DON'T USE IT

server: plomp.eu:2065
password: none

Turn timer: http://www.playyourturn.com/?page_id=17&gameID=109 (yes, that's a new type of turntracker! It's anonymous!! and it knows BtS civs!)

I suggest that everybody picks a civ on a first come first served base.
But you can't change when you've picked one!!!

And good players (who?): restrain yourself when you pick a civ!
All have fun


These are the possible leaders:
Ragner
*Justinian
Peter
*Pacal II
Gilgamesh
*Boudica
*Lincoln
Qin Shi Huao
Hammarubi
Napoleon
Hatseputs
Genghis Khan
*Augustus Caesar

I'll * those who are taken already.

[LzPrst]

which one of you cheeky bastards has stolen my... oh. I have an anonymity breach to report...

edit: it seems to be corrected.

also. this new turn thingy is to me slightly confusing... especially since it seems the year 4000 bc has been played...

[Robert Plomp]

I just did not create a new PlayYourTurn game profile but used the one we used before the restart.
So that's why 4000 BC was already played and why there was a wrong anonymity breach. (I had to re-setup all players and erased all old info while doing it)

[Pinchak]

Well, I logged in before reading this game update and hense did not put a password on my civ.

I think I am only the second person to play their turn... any chance you could reload this right quick cyber?
