chat now

[OPD]

The chat is on now on the undernet server.

here is where the saves will go

[OPD]

It's really quiet in fact spookily quiet.

not a very lively chat so far.

[Thud]

How does one join this "undernet server"?

[WhiteBandit]

Use an IRC client...

Download an IRC client such as MIRC (http://www.mirc.com) or X-Chat (http://www.xchat.org).

Then when it loads up, choose a proper nickname for yourself and choose a proper server (Undernet) and click connect.

Providing you connect, you need to join the #civ3dem channel.

You would type:
"/join #civ3dem" (without quotes of course) and you should be good to go.

There is a more detailed version somewhere else I believe, but this is the very abridged version

Got it now, nevermind

[OPD]

We took bactra with 2 knights each losing 1 hp

[OPD]

a few more in now

[OPD]

we didn;t like the city names so were coming up with a few of our own

[OPD]

check it out

[Aro]

Hurrah, OPD!

[OPD]

new save made the decision to attack susa 1 turn early
and we took it iwth no loses.
Opiadom expanded but it was too late and chartes already has the land. we now only have 1 square of thiers making a flip unlikely

[OPD]

another one

[OPD]

trying again

[OPD]

ok there an elite sword under the knight next to tarsus and the other 2 are both knights

[Shiber]

Thanks for the map OPD. I'll be using it instead of loading the game because Civ III is a very CPU-intensive application and that overheats my CPU to over 70 Celsius degrees and causes it to shut down (it is currently stable at 67 degrees). I will replace it in a few days and then I should be able to play normally again. Maybe I'll even install a heat sink afterwards...
Regarding Chartres, I think you're mistaken about the culture flip thing. We have 3 of their 21 city tiles, not 1, thus making a flip more likely. We should also strive to improve our total cultural value if we can to improve our chances even more. The Sistine Chapel with its cultural output of 6 will surely help.
