Maybe, but I wouldn't have posted once if it were not for War's comment. The second post would not have existed without Ming's prompt. And this one is down to your good self.

[War4ever]

lol, spike making three posts for one point....Deity here you come!

[Hydey]

I think the good doctor makes a good point there.

SPIKE, PLAY A MP GAME
I know the time zones is a problem, but if we can play with the boys down under, it shouldn't me insurmountable.

[DrSpike]

Lol I prefer that post to the one it replaced.

In all seriousness if I make a return to MP (which is quite feasible after this semester ends) civ I will try very hard to set a game up........Baron O has asked as well, and I know War is always up for a good game. But it would have to be a different time for you than you normally play. You would have to play an afternoon or morning, which would be evening or afternoon for me, like I used to do with War.

Evening for you when you play is like 2 am - 8 am for me.

We've had people play at those times before. I remember one guy from London who right after he finished our game, he went to work

unlike normal units you cannot hit the 'h' key to change the home of a caravan - however the 'support from this city' option is available from within the city screen - this has led people to believe that rehoming is not an intended feature and hence is a cheat

This is a problem, I've always rehomed caravans and don't see why changing "support from this city" for caravans would indicate an unintended feature. What's that about hitting "h" to change support? I've never used "h" to do that (didn't even know about it), just the city option of changing support. Does that mean support for other units can be switched by pressing "h" but not caravans? In our current game using Rah's rules I've been rehoming caravans and the others complained. The irony is that in all the actual games with Rah et al, I doubt I've even been able to deliver more than a dozen caravans over the years. We're always at war and use vans basicly for building wonders. I don't even bother rehoming them for trade among my own cities.

What's this hut finder?

[Berzerker]

Hmm...okay, SG's hut finder says its for an 18 seed map, is that for the standard randomly produced map?

[DrSpike]

Yes the 'h' keyboard shortcut only works for units other than caravans. To my mind it is clear; I don't think it should be allowed.

Yes. The 18 seed means that they can't differentiate the type of special. I believe that needs a 36 seed algorythm. Using it has helped game starts. (or frustrated some poeple when the move towards the specials only to find grassland. hidden specials)

I hav never used h or support from this city on caravans, i have used it for defensive units when cities pop overwhelms its ability to produce units to keep it from revolt. i think is the legitimate reason this was put into the game.
