With the Third Pick in the 2012 Demogame Draft, Team Apolyton Picks....
..Elizabeth!!
The rules and settings for the game are now decided and leader picking has begun!! There are nine total teams in the Intersite Demogame, we are picking unrestricted leaders and so are using a serpentine draft to choose. Team Apolyton was given the third spot in the draft and could choose a leader OR a civ. We decided to pick Elizabeth and choose a civ at the end of the second round. Elizabeth was our top choice so we are all pleased she fell to us.
Negotiations with her agent have begun, we expect her to be signed soon. Team owner, Robert Plomp is going to have to get out the checkbook to sign such a high draft pick, but team president OzzyKP and head coaches Calanthian & mzprox assure him Elizabeth is worth the price.... -

Defending in Civ 4 MP
Edit by jobe:
This is the second part of Imhotep´s series about Combat in Civ4 Multiplayer. The first was about attacking, logically this one covers defending all the way from tile defense bonuses over sentry nets up to the best defensive unit, the catapult
After our look on the possibilities of attacking we will now examine defending a little bit. We have stated in the previous article that Civ IV is a game that favours the defender. Let`s see what you can do to save your empire from the raging hordes...

Introduction into Industrial Era in Civ4
Prelude for Apolyton: This is one of the most extensive articles I did for fastmoves and I want to especially recommend it also to singleplayer focused civplayers. While you will probably never actually play this, this article, containing a complete rundown on everything important for industrial multiplayer settings, gives a deeper view into a completely different kind of civilization 4: Later Era Teamer Multiplayer, which is fully understandable for everyone as it starts from scratch and shows an actually played buildup example.

Spanish Mod solves infamous "Double Move" problem in civ4
Editorial by Robert Plomp: Astrologix of the Apolyton Spanish Forum responded to the "1UPT / Simultaneaus" debate in our forum with the following valuable post about the infamous "Double Move" issue that haunts Pitboss games for Civ4!
...
At the Apolyton spanish forum, we play simultaneous Civ4BtS pitboss games with a mod created by one of our members, Manolo. This mod does solve entirely the double move problem, because when a war is declared the turn time is doubled. If the time turn is 24 hours, then it becomes 24 (attacker) and 24 (defender). And the mod establishes a schedule. Of course, these are max times. If the players play quickly, the game runs quickly. -
