As the host, I welcome you to the PBEM game of CTP with the Forever Future Mod, version 1.7!
We have 4 players so far, the game is still open.
The 1.7 version of the mod can be downloaded from the Apolyton site.
Here I will lay out the rules. If anyone disagrees, please do so before we start.
Title of the game: Fire and Ice
Starting date: 24th August
Game settings:
Map size: Normal (equal to Huge from the vanilla game), Earth-shaped world
Difficulty: Deity, Raging Hordes, Pollution on, Bloodlust off
Civs: 8 (human and AI players)
Terrain settings: 100% Dry, 100% Cold, 80% Ocean, 70% Continent, 70% Diverse, 70% Goods
Randomly determined player order (the last human player always takes the 8th slot, the one before the last takes the 7th etc):
1.Me, as the host
2.Solar
3.Cuaich
4.Eerion
- Any new people will take subsequent places on the first come, first served basis.
Honorary system rules:
1. No re-playing any turns.
2. No changing the produced item after rush-buying.
3. No exploiting the bug where you can build unlimited settlers/militias in any city that had one citizen + any slaves.
4. If anyone is killed off/forced to quit due to ignoring the early barbarian threat, the game is re-launched with a new player order, and the offender waits 5 starting turns doing nothing.
5. Oh, and obviously, no opening of the other players turns before the game is over.
Role-playing and posting creative stuff on this thread is encouraged

Oh - by the way.
Is there a chance to start on 27th instead of 24th?
Because there's a big convention in my city from 23th to 26th of August.
And I'll be kinda off. So we wouldn't do many turns anyway. And this way noone will get annoyed due to slow start.
And I have birthday on 27th!
27th it is, then. I'm assuming everyone else is happy with the arrangements.
Oh, and my birthday is on the 23rd by the way
Another important thing. Since I'm the host, I need to know who is playing what. Dibs so far:
Solar: France
Eerion: Japan
Me: Egypt
We can also vote on the AI civs, or you may leave picking them in my capable hands
May I join You?
Civ: Rome
Mail: "DarkTemplar.01@interia.pl"
Skype: nawias_x_nawias
Ah, you must be that friend of Solar he told me about.
Place 5, Rome it is.
I agree to the rules, I'd like to play the Celts, and my birthday isn't until February (Happy BD to those of you celebrating this month!)

Guys, I have a new machine and I can't get the saves to open at double-click - clicking a save causes the game to load the main menu.
I ran the csg_auto_file.reg file, but it didn't work.
Anyone can point me to the thread where it was explained in details? I can't find it!

Be sure to modify the file with all the proper paths before running it!
Thanks. Unfortunately, I didn't get far with this, but I'll keep trying. I can always use my laptop instead, where it always works perfectly
Okay people, I really hate to do this, but I'd like to introduce another improvement to the mod.
I'd like to reduce Huscarl's Attack value from 3 to 2 (to make him less overpowering, and cheaper at the same time), and increase his movement from 1 to 2 (so he's more viable as an actual marine troop - you'll be able to land your Huscarls and assault in the same turn, provided you're landing on flat terrain). Because as of now, Huscarls are your mainstay Classical Age assaulters first and foremost, which feels very wrong.
So, should I go ahead and make this fix, or is it already too late at this point?
I'd say go and fix. I also want to start ASAP, but I think it'd be reasonable to include such a sensible update first.
Well, it's already too late, we're starting tomorrow. So no fixes this time.
Here is the final civilization / player list:
#1 (blue) - AI - Persians
#2 (orange) - AI - Indians
#3 (green) - AI - Russians
#4 (pink) - Max Smirnov - Egyptians
#5 (purple) - Solarius Scorch - French people
#6 (teal) - Cuaich - Celts
#7 (burgundy) - Eerion - Japanese
#8 (brown) - Mr. (x) - Romans
Let's have a good game!
Yeah, let's!
(Although I believe we could still do this hotfix before the Huscarls appear in the game.)
EDIT: Cuaich, your email address seems to be wrong; I can't send you the turn!
OOPS...Sorry! I forgt the digit "1" just before the atsign...
brucemacdonald1
My apologies.
Also, @ Solarius:
I published the original fix for machines that wouldn't start the saved game directly. Let me know if you need help walking through the fix (which, I admit, does not work every single time).
Bruce
Thanks, but I think it's not a problem with how I'm doing this. I just had to redo the entire process on my laptop and it went smoothly.
Also, I sent you the turn. Again
Ossum, when can I find out how my starting location will look like?
Good question. What's going on, guys?
Aye.Have a bad feeling about something.Anything happened Cuaich?
16 hours ago I have finally received confirmation from Cuaich that he indeed received the turn. The extremely short message contained no explanation as for why he stopped the cycle before it was even started.
I know we're all friends here and that it's hard to find players, but at this point I feel the need to say that such behaviour is unacceptable. I understand that things happen and sometimes you need a break, but we've all agreed to this starting date and everyone was okay with it. We should be several turns in the campaign right now.
Cuaich, please do your turn now and don't do it again in the future without good reason. Because honestly, this ain't cool. Unless you have a really good explanation fro the delay.
Turn sent. I had to fire someone, and the paperwork is immense. Having said that, if you need turns played within the hour, I may not be the man for you...I have a business to run, and while I can play turns immediately at times, it won't be every turn. Let me know if you want me to drop out.
Bruce/Cuaich
Lol, an hour is a gross exaggeration. I think expecting one turn per day on a more or less regular basis isn't too demanding though, it's just a few minutes after all. That's how we played our previous game and it took us more than half a year to complete it.Originally Posted by Cuaich
Anyway, I can't wait for my turn!
Finally got a turnTurn to X.What interestind do you have to say about your locations?
Fair enough...I will be as prompt as possible, of course! I love seeing what's underneath that next dark hex!
Having said that, I am away at a cottage for the next 5 days. I will take my computer and play when I can, but it will also rely on wireless coverage (it's pretty remote). I've usually got pretty good 'net access.
Bruce
PS: My location has nothing but hills and plains...no water in sight!!
I will reply in vague terms... I can't go swimming, but I can have a drink
I'd KILL for a drink, in game or in RL!
Good luck... :PAnyway - since beginning is usually pretty boring in the diplomatic section, maybe let's make up for it on forum?Let's say - every 5 turns (till turn 50, maybe later), let's write an official statement of what we're doing (ofc only things that you can say).A short one, but still...I'd love to have this game more interting in the beginning too :PI'd KILL for a drink, in game or in RL!
Location? Hmm... I've got a huge amount of... nothing.
I think I should start looking for something.
