[PBEM] Golden Bear vs Shogun Gunner

[Shogun Gunner]

My dad stays with us every Monday and Tuesday (he works at the same company as me, but lives in Richmond). I just overhead a long conversation between my wife and dad about the messy dorm room from when I was back in college. My wife counters with my civ2 hermit apartment that was so messy.... yeah, I stayed in my office when they were discussing this.

So, I guess you are right.

I'll be ready to try the cIV PBEM in a few minutes...

[Shogun Gunner]

Laptop specs:

Intel Pentium M 1.6 gigahertz
512 megs of RAM
nVidia GeForce4 4200 Go I think it only has 64 meg of RAM

I just ran the test at srtest.com and found that the video card fails miserably. I'm not sure if the test is legitimate. It says I don't have any video ram and I'm sure i have 64 megs on the card.

sent back to you. I can't get SMTP in game emailing to work.

I was able to enter my information, but it failed to send. I tried about 10 times. So I emailed....

can you use my gmail address for this? That's how I have it set in the game, not that it's working yet...

[Golden Bear]

I don't know - as far as I can tell, nothing has changed. I had entered the MSN address with no SMTP server.

It still shows up with the MSN address and my SMTP server... clearly a couple teensy bugs to be worked out. Try again and put in your server too. Also post it in case I need to enter it for you.

BTW, I popped a goodie hut and got a scout! Woo hoo! Big timing it now! I'm tempted to run the warrior back into Timbuktu and just explore with the scout.

However, I'm sticking to the plan of warrior-worker-?duh, i dunno? I changed the resource square to finish the worker faster. I'm so indecisive.

anyway - back to you, dude!

Continental is more "Civ Like"

Terran is more realistic.

I have NOT played a continental map, but I have played a terran map and I love terran maps.

Look at the top of the forum. They have a web based map guide posted

We need to get Beta going on a 2 vs 2.

Or do you guys have anyone else in mind to play?

[Shogun Gunner]

that could be interesting.... I know so little of the game that I want some time to play a game or two before getting into any competitive games.

Also, I'm honoring all my civ3-pbems -- even if others ultimately will not -- and I must take great care to not overbook myself. Easy to do when a new game is out.

Speaking of which -- do we just assume that the "Tribes of Babylon" is dead?

[Golden Bear]

I'm up for a 2 on 2. I assume you mean a mini-Demo.

Or do you mean 4 different civs with locked alliances?

I can handle it... particularly since the CivIII PBEMs are languishing.

[Shogun Gunner]

I think many of the civ3 pbems will die a horrible death.

Well, i shouldn't smilie a "shame" because some of them deserve to die

[Golden Bear]

Yeah. I was recruited into the Sci101 game to replace somebody - and then dinged because I thought that I sent the save but hadn't. So I sent the save...

That was like two weeks ago or something.

It is fine with me if I don't have to swap my CivIV disk out anymore.

[Shogun Gunner]

I use a "crack" version of the civ3 main executable. I don't think we are supposed to talk about this at Poly, but who's checking each thread?

Since I bought two copies of Civ3 and all the expansion packs, I'm hardly a software thief. There is a site that lists a fair number of games where you can download the main executable to disables the need for the program to check for the CD in the drive bay.

I specifically use this on my laptop, because I don't always have the media with me. I have no idea when/if they will have this available for cIV.

There's another program called Alcohol 120% which allows you to image an entire CD or DVD to your hard drive and run everything from there.

I feel this is my right and a "fair use" of the software. I never distribute and I always purchase the products. BTW, you can't download the entire program from these type of sites, just the main .exe file.

[Golden Bear]

I'm too afraid of getting viruses to download something like that.

[Shogun Gunner]

worked like a charm. I'll be your BETA tester.

Where can a copy be found?
