PBEM: Veni, Vedi, Vici

[CerberusIV]

They are (apparently) not compatible. I am stuck on 1.14 until Infogreed release a 1.21 patch for the euro version.

Hmmm, replacements are fine. However, I'm not sure how keen I am on reverting to 1.14f since I'm in other PBEM's at 1.21f and play single player. How many folks do we have without the US version?

Clegg, its quite easy to use Dual installation.

If you have already installed 1.21f, just uninstall the whole ptw (back up saves). Then reinstall it, and run 1.14f patch. Now make a new folder for the 1.14f and copy (not move) the whole civ3 there. Then just install 1.21f, and you'll have both versions on your hard drive.

If you want to save space, use Sir Ralphs advice http://apolyton.net/forums/showthrea...threadid=79292

I prefer using the 2 whole civs system, but if youre low on HD capacity, then SR's advice is good, too.

Picture to clarify dual installation. The plain Civ3 folder is where i have the 1.21f

Ok. Sorry for the delay. Off visiting the relatives.

There are 3 new players interested in replacing those removed in the great purge. Please feel free to introduce yourselves.

CerberusIV - Celts - CerberusIVciv3 at aol.com
ormuzd - Egyptians - nebucadnez2ar at yahoo com
redstar1 - Ottomans - ????
????? - Scandinavians - ?????

The Scandinavians may be disappearing in 12 hrs unless someone decides to pick them up.

We are currently at 1.14 and will stay at this until the remaining players get updated. (Can it really take this long?)

I have no idea who has the turn so if you've got it speak up. If I have it please inform me.

My hope is to get this game going at least a turn a day consistantly. I realize real life sometimes interferes with this but be assured that I am committed to keeping this going as I feel it will result in a rich game full of intrigue and diplomacy.

On diplomacy...

If you've had contact with another civ that has been replaced please feel free to contact them. This event would also be a good time to sign that peace treaty. It is a new leader after all.

Or maybe you feel like waging war...

Either way let's kickstart this game. Good luck.

[SirOsis]

Scandinavians are back. Then there were 8...

Here is the updated player list:

1. SirOsis - Babylonians sirosis@hotmail.com
2. Clegg - Greeks jbirdsall at comcast dot net
3. ormuzd - Egyptians nebucadnez2ar at yahoo com

Bold are the new players

Where is the turn currently?

[SirOsis]

The turn seems to have disappeared. Therefore I am going to send 2710BC to Clegg. Version 1.14.

[Clegg]

It's going to take me a few hours to play the turn. Have to get home from work and then do the dual install.

[Tiberius]

Version 1.14? I wasn't in the mood to do a dual installation.

OK, how do I get the vikings?

[SirOsis]

I'll post the admin password up here so I don't have to go through the pain of changing the new players.

ormuzd will send you the turn Tiberius when he's done.

[Clegg]

Sorry for the delay, 2710 BC to Egyptians. Version 1.14f

[ormuzd]

I cannot begin the turn - the game asks me for a password. When I enter the admin password it tells me that it's wrong

[SirOsis]

Aaargh!! Try adminpbem

[SirOsis]

If that doesn't work send me the turn

[ormuzd]

played and sent 2710 BC to tiberius

[Tiberius]

My playing hours are roughly between 6PM GMT (sometimes earlier) and 10PM GMT. I'm at work right now, so don't expect the save too soon.
