Teach me!

[Kirkenix]

Cool!

With a few exceptions I believe so. I just hope I will last a few months!!!

[Blake]

I'm game. Random is the only civ for me.

[vondrack]

I'm game, PBEM or Pitboss. (thanks for the pointer, Alex)

Random civ/leader for me, too, please.

Not that I'd be able to take a random civ and shine as Blake can... it's just that I remember nothing about civ traits, starting techs, and whatnot... that's why random.

Or, if random is taken , make it Saladin for me. I... eee... kind of like his leaderhead.

EDIT: hmm, I may be late, after all - if that's the case, just ignore me.

[Beta]

I may be late as well, in which case maybe we should get a group together for a second game. Or are you up for two Alex?

[Gyathaar]

I dont think the game has started yet (atleast I havent received any info about how to join the game..)

Failed to contact peer Alexman..
This player may not have his firewall environment properly configured...

Fix it!

[alexman]

OK now?
You have logging enabled, by the way. I hope you are a trusted player

[Andydog]

Yeah I can't get on either. [edit, can now]

But Alex, to host a pitboss game you need to do it via Direct IP Connection. You then need to provide us with a direct IP address and password, so we can log in and out as required.

[alexman]

Edit, after reading your edit

In Pitboss the AI will take over only if you get kicked. Direct IP, Internet it doesn't matter.

[Andydog]

edit after your edit,

cool.

I got into the game, but dunno if you were online at the time, so dont know if it was fixed.. is there a way to tell if someone is online?

As for logging.. am sure both you and me could get full map, unit, etc info directly from the save file without even looking at the log files

I havent tried it myself, but I believe I have read that when hosting pitboss though gamespy the game will eventually just drop off the list or something (gamespy kicking the game due to inactivity or something I expect)

[vondrack]

I had some troubles connecting, but eventually took Hatty. We will see if it was just my new shiny firewall needing few touches or if it's going to be such a pain every time.

EDIT: BTW... at first, I thought - hell, everybody was talking about how great Blake's AI is now when placing cities and there you go, the dumbhead will suggest founding my capital here... it took me a good minute to realize that the blue circle had fresh water...

[Solver]

Alex, I of course get the version mismatch error due to modded files. Is it enough to merely have the original files in Assets, or must I also remove all extra files from the folders - backups, txt notes to myself, etc? Finding the unmodded versions is getting a bit tricky .
