PBEM anyone?

Can you attach the 1.04 patch that you used.

Surely you mean 1.14, right? That's the most recent Euro PTW patch - I can't imagine why we'd want to use an older version.

It's 10MB, so your hotmail account won't be able to handle it.

hang on .... I've turned over several pages at once here.

wtf is the 1.04 patch? I've never heard of it.

I messed it up, didn't I?

[CerberusIV]

There isn't a 1.04 euro patch AFAIK, they went straight to 1.14. There was a 1.04 patch for the US version.

It should not be a problem to set the game up with 1.14 (either version), the problem is that euro versions can't be used to play a turn once it has been on a US 1.21 machine.

Info****!!!!

The problem comes in that all games default to Chieftan. miccofl told me about the workaround using an older version to set up games. If it requires an American version to setup I can't be bothered with trying to find someone to set up for games.

I say we just play with the four games doing the rounds that alva created and resign oursleves to playing chieftan.

FP, have you sent them to Cerberus?

Nope, Firaxis did.

Well, some of the PBEM games I am in are at Regent - but I didn't set them up so don't know precisely how it was done.

I am not too bothered about playing at Chieftain, it is the same for all of us and there are no AI's to exploit.

I hadn't ... but I have now.

[CerberusIV]

Received. The games came up as Regent so I presume that is what they will be?

Sent to Zeit and votes to Alva

[Dauphin]

Curious. What version have you got? 1.14?

[FrustratedPoet]

I definitely set the games up as Monarch (1.14) - *sigh* damn bugs!!

Still ... it's better than Chieftain.

[Dauphin]

Don't worry about it. Its not your fault, its a known bug.

[CerberusIV]

Yes, 1.14.

Having said that I think that all my PBEM's possibly come up as Regent. I will have a careful look at the happy/unhappy citizens in the various games since that is about the only way to tell. Unfortunately most are still at an early stage so I don't have many cities over size 3 and I may not be able to tell.

Whatever the difficulty level is we will just have to play it now.

[alva]

So, which one are we playing?

Mine, or did FP set some up as well ?

[FrustratedPoet]

I did set some up, and I sent them to BC. I don't think he's played them yet. There doesn't seem much point now.

It looks like we're sticking with your original ones. If the saves I sent Cerberus are at Regent and not Chieftain then we should stick with them.
