  • i thought we had to restart due to the password issue.
    however, masuro, if you didn't have a password set, maybe you can try loading your latest turn?

    • Since Gargamel has quit the game, I suggest we start over with a Magnificent Seven game. A fresh start is always good. The PBEM trading bug was fixed, right?

        • I just loaded up a pre-patch single player game and everything worked fine. Some people said they had trouble after patching so I was a bit worried. The game seems to be running more smoothly.

          • Well gents,

            I was in 12 pbems, and now that the incredible geniuses at Firaxis or 2k or whever the bureaucracy of this game screwed up, every one of the 12 games is unplayable due to several issues:

            unable to enter pw and press enter,
            pw's are no longer needed and when I enter the game, it just sits there saying waiting for other civilizations,
            unable to perform any actions... game is frozen.

            Looks like every pbem has to be scrapped, and I will not be starting any new ones, because I'm sure the so called geniuses at Firaxis and 2k or wherever will have overseen these issues and any new ones which will rise up at the next patch... until they make us buy an add on pack, which of course will have to be patched at least 2 times, before they make us buy another add on pack, which of course will have to be patched 2 times before civ5 comes out promising better things.... lol, and we're the idiots who buy these games and get addicted to them. What geniuses.

            • Sorry to see you go but I can certainly understand your frustration. I purposely didn't start many PBEM games because I was afraid this kind of thing would happen.

              Do we go with Magnificent 6 or just say bugger it?

              • i vote for "try again"!

                unlike E_V i only lost 3 games which were in average at turn 4 or so... so a shame, but not a tragedy.

                • Okay. There are only six of us now. What size map would you like to try? My system handles small maps very well and spends a lot of time churning through large maps. Standard? Small? On a small map we will probably get 3 or 4 cities each.

                  • 6 in small is a bit tight. although, it will make early warfare more likely and resource distribution less optimal (someone is bound to not have copper, iron and horses and is screwed)

                          • i've started waaaay too many. 2 of them died before the first round went past.

                            before i start the next, i'll have to figure out who is reliable enough

                            • After the patch killed the first PBEM games I lost interest, really. Single player was interesting for a couple of weeks but soon became dull. Not because the game is bad but because I was playing Civ 3 for a couple of years and it is more or less the same (though improved in many respects).
