Right i am going to start this now... any more applicants will have to post their interest here and i will start the fourth game when the first three accumulate.

Good Luck to the rest of you.

When you post your turn use the following dialogue on the forum so we can trace where it is.

Turn 1 --> Baston (for example)

... and feel free to roleplay - i usually do

Turn 0 --> Rue

4000 BC FRANCE DECLARES ITSELF AN ISLAND

Peace is sought by the Bastonian tribal leaders of the fledgling French civilisation, although because we are an island we will deter any unauthorised landings with force unless you have obtained express permission from the current Monarchs.

A diplomatic voyage will be undertaken soon to see who else is out there.

So that I don't slow down the game when it gets to me, could one of you quickly explain what to do with it?

Also, I think I have the Ducheese pack correctly installed: I replaced the three files that it said to and then put the entire folder from the stuffit archive into the top layer of the Civ:CTP folder. Does this sound right?

Finnaly, who will I be sending my turn to?

Thanks! (and sorry for all the questions )

Turn -1 ---->KingSheba

The Turkish tribe finds itself mired in quicksand. They call the place dutcheese.
They put three files indicated (messageicon.text, Units.text, and uniticon.text) into gamedata folder. However, error messages were received and game failed when starting up from file sent to me by Baston. I am passing the file to KingSheba.
Any help will meet with great rejoicing.

Ok, let me a give detailed set of instructions on how to get dutcheese installed and working.

First, inorder to make restoring CTP back to it's original status a lot easier I recommend that you label the dutcheese files with a bright color. I labeled mine red. (using File-->Label)

Now move messageicon.txt, uniticon.txt and Units.txt into the following directory;
ctp_data-->default-->gamedata

Click yes to replace the original files with the dutcheese ones.

Next, move gamemc01.txt, premc01.txt, and varimc01.txt in to the following directory:
ctp_data-->default-->gamedata-->gl

Next, move mcCAMC01.tga and mcCBB002.tga into the following directory:
ctp_data-->default-->graphics-->pictures

And finally, move dutcheese.txt and Strings.txt into the following directory:
ctp_data-->english-->gamedata

Click yes to replace the original files with the dutcheese ones.

Now you're all set.

If you have further questions, feel free to ask!

Rue:
You need to hang onto your turn until you get dutcheese installed and working. You'll need to be sure and play your turn before you pass it along. Otherwise, Kingsheba will end up with your turn and won't be able to play his. Goodluck!

[Rue]

Thanks Ash. I got the first part right the first time as I changed all the dutcheese files red. I'm now starting from scratch and will follow your instructions to the tee.

Turn 0 --->KingSheba

The Turkish capital of Ankara was founded in the year 4000 BCE.

[KingSheba]

I followed the dirrections as well and I hope that it works!

Rue, is the latest game that you sent (around 22:57 saturday) the one that I should play? I have only recieved one game from you as of yet and I think that it is the messed up one...

If you have sent it, note that I have not recieved it and you may want to try again...

KingSheba,
No that game you should ignore. I've just discovered that my mail server is down and I can't send messages. Furthermore, no one is answering the tech phone at this time I will post as soon as I can get a message out.
