New team game

[Ephack]

Super Dacole, thanks! I'm waiting for the PM

Geomodder, I hope the map won't be to large for you?

[dacole]

ok to make things quicker the password is island ip will be in your mail

[dacole]

oh yes as I like slower games I put the speed on epic so don't freak out. This way we will have time to play with some of the older techs (otherwise we would have been into modern inside of two weeks or so)

[snoopy369]

dacole, epic isn't acceptable as a time speed for a PTBS game, at least not for me. Even with PTBS, a normal length game (500 turns) is over a year and a half of play... for PTBS, it should be normal or quick.

[snoopy369]

As another setting possibility, does anyone object to X+Y wrap? IE, add Y wrap to the normal X wrap, so it wraps around to the north-south? It makes island games a bit more interesting/fun usually to not have the arctic circle ...

[dacole]

Bah ok will take the game down and then put it up as a normal speed game. Can we have both wraps on it I was under the impression that you could only have one. If both is possible then I would love to go for that. The IP and password will be the same when I get it set up. As well the game is set up on CivStats. If we can get 2 to 3 turns in a day it would still be fast on epic speed but is up to you all. I will wait to here from a majority before I take it down and put it up again as it is a good bit of work.

[dacole]

scratch that changed my mind going to put it up again now with it set for normal speed and will attempt to put both wraps on. If it ends up that we just have north south wrap would hope we can just go ahead and play it...

I agree with Snoopy, epic is too slow. If we can get 1,5 turns a day, it will be already very good, since we are 12 players!

Other question: are you sure you set the game correctly? When I log in, I have to check "ready" and then nothing more happens, as if the game was waiting for the other players. That should not be the case, everyone should be able to play his turn when he's available.

[dacole]

game is not set up yet resetting it up now despite the fact it is 3:00 here now. Does anyone know if it is possible to set it up to be world wrap both in the top and the bottom? I am colechemist on yahoo if anyone wants to send me a message. I can wait about ten more minutes but then I am launching the game with toriordal chosen for the world wrap.

[snoopy369]

I've set up many games with both X and Y wrap on, so it's certainly possible Not sure of the specifics though.

[snoopy369]

Indeed, toroidal = X+Y wrap (both). I don't think it's possible in PTBS to have only Y wrap (which is not different from X wrap in terms of gameplay, thus no reason to allow it).

[snoopy369]

I think I am going to try and re-do my PTBS walkthrough on Tuesday, if I can find the time and am not too stressed out from work Maybe I'll PDF it, since in Word format the pictures do weird things in terms of spacing.

[dacole]

Ah ok the other people I have talked to were wrong then, they said the tororidal was just Y wrap..

ok the game is now up! Everything else is the same it will be up soon also on civstats. Have to get rid of the one I put up there before...

[Pinchak]

Ok, maybe a dumb question, but...

Is tech trading on?
