Someone needs to host.

Can anyone step forth?

*tap dancing in a desperate attempt to be noticed...

for 6-7 players we should go with a normal sized map. preferably we could get another player or two and that would be perfect. IMO crowded maps add for more competition and thus more the need for more diplomacy for early on. therefore a small map (or whatever is right under normal) might even be advisable if we dont get more people by saturday morning. hopefully a few wildcards will fall in during week. come on people! sign up for some good old diplo fun!

I'll think about it.
I'm not sure if I want to play untill 02:00 AM my time, after I already played untill 03:30 AM the day before.

I host the HOTW5 game with reasonable success (except for the OOS error on one session). I also hosted the HOT backup game using 1.61 and it went faultlessly.

I'm in support of HOTW VI completely, but I think you should have more than four people before starting. I think 7 us optimum, but six seems to be more realistic. You should mention this thread on the 1092 ad thread, you may be able to get a few players there.

On second thought, I'll do that. But I like this group so far, good job guys.

Peace.

we have 5 at the moment

Anyway. If everyone throws together where in the world they are located then we can plan the best time for everyone.

I'm In Norway\Central Europe\GMT +1\ UTC +2.

So is OmnipotentTrout if I may be so bold and speak out of turn.

Thank you so much for that! Definetly remebering it for future reference. =)

If we need a sixth, I could bring a friend in. He's very good at normal Civ IV playing, but he's never RPed before in any sort of game, so I don't know if he would be the right choice.

Since I'm GMT +8... Sunday at 6 am. o_o

Uhm.... I *could* try to make it... but that may be too crazy even for me, heh.

[LzPrst]

RP is not 100% mandatory schtix, but it is desireable. I dont think there will be any danger in letting your friend join us even if he doesnt want to RP, but usually people get caught up in it and adapt quickly

[Schtix]

I'll speak to my friend about it more seriously, before I had just mentioned it.

Now that 1.61 is out, I have a question: if I do upgrade to 1.61, will I be able to play in the match Saturday? I'm downloading it as this is typed, but I won't install it until I get a confirmation.

[deity]

I think all new games and even existing games should move to 1.61.

The problem with existing games though is that for the Fin trait Banks are no longer cheaper, so anyone who already built banks is disdadvantaged. But what the heck, it all pans out. 1.61 is the go. I tested it and it opens all older saves just fine.
