5 seconds later I get them....

BTW, I suggest you remove your votes from public display (I know what they are now) and we all PM you ours. Else the last players can see what vote will suit them best.

[Dauphin]

settings are;

Monarchy,
roaming,
continents,
rest is default.

All the saves I have received are at Cheiftan level.

I think we need to set up the games as follows:

The person who loads the game initially must uninstall Civ3 and PTW, then re-install both. Install the 1.04 patch and then load, play and send the game. He or she can then install the 1.14 patch. The other players can keep their systems the way they are as games started in 1.04 play with 1.14.

The reason I posted mine, is to not be influenced by the other votes. For others to vote 'strategically just by knowing mine, is going to be of limited use .

I don't mind redoing them, but then they will be 1.21 ones (just use a crack with the US patch on a euro instalment and you should be fine.
I'm not going to uninstall 4 times

[Dauphin]

How do I play them at Monarch then? As I say the files I received are Cheiftan.

I don't mind playing cheiftan level if no-one else minds, but I don't want to be installing crack patches for European versions

[alva]

That's the problem, unless I go through that uninstall routine, the dificulty level will drop.

The only other option would be for me to upgrade (and use a crack) to 1.21 and to set-up the games again (I wouldn't mind doing so).
The problem here is that everyone will have to go to 1.21 in order to be able to play...

You don't need to do it four times.

All you need to do is uninstall both Civ3 and PTW once, reinstall, upgrade to 1.04, then play the 4 games, then upgrade to 1.14.

Its a pain, but I'd prefer to play on a level harder than cheiftan.

[Dauphin]

Turns sent to FP.

[alva]

I don't even have my civ3 cd here, so I can't do it.

If you are willing to go through the hassle, then please go ahead

[Dauphin]

Sure, I can do that.

I'll set up with the rules as stated. Who would be the admin though?

Edit- If I can find the damned CD.
Edit2 - I can't find the 1.04 patch. Anyone know if you can do it with just 1.01?

[FrustratedPoet]

OK, I'll go ahead and play these turns, despite the issues we're having.

[FrustratedPoet]

I'll set up and admin the game if you want ... I actually have everything all the CD's and patches.

I've played the turns ... shall I bother PM'ing alva my votes?

Also, who's turn is it after me?

[Dauphin]

Cerberus is next.

We may as well do the votes, there is no harm.

If you want to admin and set up the games straight away then we can scrap the 4 on the rounds at the moment.

[FrustratedPoet]

we'll try this one more time then....

[FrustratedPoet]

New turns on their way to BC.

/me crosses his fingers and hopes he didn't f**k it up.
