4 Player PBEM Game - #2

[Arnelos]

Hehe.... I now have 15 primary city names planned appropriate to the team I'm supposed to be playing as , along with an additional 21 if I ever get around to building them (almost certainly not).

[Togas]

Arnelos, are you planning to play as if you were the Warmongers?

even if im last

how do i open the sav once i get it? pm help maybe.

There seem to be 2 methods that are done:

Method 1:
1) shut down Civ3, if running
2) launch Civ3 fresh clean
3) load the savegame received from last player through Main Menu - Load Game
4) play your turn & hit End Turn button
5) save the game
6) shut down Civ3
7) forward the save

Method 2:
1) Start the game
2) Hit Multiplayer
3) Make sure, Location is set to Local games and not to Internet.
4) Hit Host
5) Make sure, the Game rules are standard. At the left side, all options shall be checked, at the right side only Preserve Random Seed and Allow Cultural Conversions. Especially make sure, that Accelerated Production is not set.
6) Set Game Type to Play By Email.
7) Set Game Mode to Load Game.
8) Choose the game to load in the dialogbox.
9) Hit Launch.
10) Enter your password.
11) Play the turn. It is not allowed to save and reload during the turn, due to the production bug.
12) Hit the End Turn Button.
13) Save the game after the Save and Exit dialog shows up.
14) The file name willl be the name the game proposes by default.
15) Send the turn to your successor.

These are the two methods that were posted in the main Demo Game Forum.

Arnelos, remember, we are doing this to try to figure some startegy that, not only they whould possibly use, but to try to counter that strategy.

Count me in as an alternate for this game also as necessary.

If I am to take someones turns, I will need to get a PM from that person (so I will know to go check my email) along with the password if that was set up. If you use me and want to pass on some orders, that is fine. I will be playing as alternate in case someone goes on vacation or some such similar thing that will keep them away for a while and that the game would otherwise stall down for.

Ok, I'll play with some new strategies then... might as well try out something new

That said, I'm still using my cool GoW-ish citynames (wish I had Rome rather than China for this, but oh well)

Let's not post every time we send on the save. Let's use this thread, instead to discuss any problems or issues with the game/save. So that if we see this thread topped and red, we'll know something important is going on.
