Admit it, Deity, you're scared

Guys, my motherboard died on me, so I won't be able to make it to this session. (Unless you want a repeat of the early part of HOTW5 ) Look for a sub for me, will ya?

[Robert]

You should at least try it with your other motherboard!
Maybe you can transfer some memory or your graphics card!

That'll improve your old computer!

[OzzyKP]

Is Franski available again?

He's gonna end up subbing for everyone by the time this game is over, hehe.

[Levi_the_Oracle]

If we are desperate for a sub, I am certain I could scrape someone up from the civ4mp lobby in a pinch. I wouldn't expect such a person to necessarily be the type of person that you would want to play with on a regular basis, but anything has got to be better than an AI.

[LzPrst]

Fransi isnt around atm. but he might be at game time. he's wild you know...

Everybody who's going to patch: make sure that you'll have 2 versions ready friday! (200 and 208)
I'm sure that there's a good possibility that one or more players will still be on 200 and we should be ready for all possibilities!

For those who want to keep both versions of WL's to finish PBEM or DirectIP pitboss games here's what I do.

This assumes that you have not patched and still only have version 200, if you have patched you will have to uninstall WL's and reinstall WL ver 200 from the CD.

1. Open windows explorer, and navigate to C:\program files\firaxis games\Sid Meier's Civilization 4\

2. You should now see a folder called Warlords, right click and drag that to your destop, when you release your mouse it will give you the option of copy or move please chose copy. You now have a copy of the original ver 200 folder.

3. Click on the folder name on the desktop folder, and change it to Warlords200, hit enter to finish the change.

4. Now move(not copy) that folder back into the "Sid Meier's Civilization 4\" folder, you should now have a Warlords folder and a Warlords200 folder.

5. Now you can feel free to patch via the WL's lobby or D/L from a fan sight. Unfortunately the Firaxis installers will only patch the WL's version that was originally installed, and it has no option to change folders. Which means that it will patch the orginal Warlords folder to 208.

6. Now you can create a shortcut to the exe in the Warlords200 folder to your desktop and after renaming it warlords200 you will now have a shortcut to 200 and the original 'Launch Civ4 Warlords" shortcut will launch ver 208, you can rename that shortcut Warlords208 if you like as well.

Now your off to the races, just becareful never to enter the MP lobby with ver200 or it will want to autopatch, just use 200 for your PBEM or DirectIP MP games.

Ok 1st of all i would like to apologize to Ryk for my immature reaction. And last i won't say a word next session, will bite on a towel or something. Just hard for me to adjust to this game pace. Really hard trying though, cooking didn't help too much either. I will be good from now on, hate myself seeing that i'm getting on peoples nerves

Good session everyone!

And go me for being the first diplogamer with a vassal!

[Robert]

diplogamer? 'diplogamer'?
''''''''''diplogamer''''''''''

All diplomats that live, will live or ever lived protest against the use of that word by the mouth of the biggest warmonger of Terra!
