Arabia has received the file from delmar.

Tries to figure out how he is ever going to remember the password that delmar has given him.

And has forwarded the game to Egypt. (cc delmar)

Is there any AI in this game ? Or all human players ?

[Hot_Enamel]

Dont bother answering..I checked the previous thread.

Damn... no goodie huts !! and I chose an expansionist civ.

delmar...your random password is fine

And "no" to AI.

I guess I should of checked the thread more often.

Please remember, every turn should be sent to our moderator as well, so he can keep track of the game.

[jshelr]

Sent earlier, just wanted to benchmark the thread. Do we post each turn here or is sending it to Delmar enough?

[Flandrien1]

I don't mean to be too negative, but this does not look like accellerated production.
Unless I am the only one without accellerated production ?

Anyway, first turn on it's way to lmtoops.

I think this is a bug. I am not only sure that I selected it when I set up the game, but I also built a city, after I created the first SAV file (that I sent to Enamel), just to confirm that accelerated production was on (it was).

Now I loaded the SAVs that you sent me so far, and it is indeed off.

However, if I go to Multiplayer, then click "Host" and then select "Load Game" under Game Mode, and load the SAV files from there, then I do get accelerated production.

As Spencer says, our beta testing continues...

PS: I almost suggested that you replay the first turn, making sure that everyone loads the game through the multiplayer screen, but I think it is not necessary. It is enough if you load the game through multiplayer from now on, because acc.prod. means you need less shields, not that you produce more.

[lmtoops]

Sometimes I think my brain just turns off

I will be away from my computer, 12/21 - 12/28 (Vacation). Delmar - Can you play my turns?

I will set up the game as I want it, so you only have to do minimal moves. Just in case my first unit is built, I will PM you on what to do with it.

If you can't, then I will find a substitute player.

[Hot_Enamel]

I tested and reloaded the first sav sent to me
Using the multiplayer load...accelerated production is off
And my build speeds are the same.

having accel prod off doesnt bother me.
Just as long as it is off for everyone.

Turn 1 Complete - Sent To Hot_E

I emailed the game to Hot_E (sounds like a porn star or a rapper).



Accelerated Production was OFF

In any case, I'm OK with no accel. production.

[lmtoops]

More thoughts are floating to the top of my head (That head banging really works!!).

I will be able to access the internet and email infrequently (maybe every 2 days). I just can't play.

[Hot_Enamel]

Game forwarded to Egypt

And yes... I am a porn star

Right. The acceleration production (and I guess any other) setting will be whatever you set before you load the game. My setting was acc.prod. on (remainder from the original game setup), so when I loaded the game from the multiplayer screen, it became accelerated. If however I turn it off first, it will be off in the game as well.

In other words, the SAV file doesn't contain this information.

I never really bothered to get upset about these bugs but this multiplayer aspect begins to throw me over that certain limit. Anyway, I will spare the Firaxis bashing for now.

I guess it's just like with all the other shortcomings that can be misused: play fair and hope that the others will do the same.

Well, as a moderator, I guess I could check on you guys from time to time...

Damn !!!!!!!!!!!

I checked... And you are right.

Thats a serious bug !!

Just to confirm, I am playing with accelerated production off....is everyone else doing the same ?
