Youngblood Recruitment Center

[Keygen]

It means CTP with Apolyton Pack installed. It's an add-on, which adds new units, graphics and several modifications. You can download it from Apolyton, downloads section of CTP. I haven't played with it ever so Nuke could explain you in more detail about it.

So far we have:

Nuke Boy
DeViL
Darth Eddie
Blackice
Vitlog

and probably Dugrik, so totally 6. Good number to start .

Count me in, please!

Maybe in this way I can play a little more turns per week. In both youngbloods games there are not movement since monday and High Voltage is not started yet.

Just for your information I will soon start a new thread for the Youngbloods Recruitment Center as this one is already big enough.

I'd LOVE to play a game with Apolyton Pack. I've played a full game with the pack at King level and it's much harder than the "out of the box" game.

There aren't many new units, but there's big changes to government, trade, the effect of some wonders and the cost of public works. There's a big readme doc when you install that explains these.

And the Powerslics are great and help you manage your civilization better. For example, every time one of your cities grows its population, you get told, so you take a look, think about reallocating workers to food/gold/production...

But a word of warning. I had a lot of trouble with it at first which were only fixed by a complete deinstall/reinstall of CTP. It's a big mod, but you do NOT overwrite any of your CTP files. There's only one line in a CTP text file you have to edit, everything else is installed and accessed from separate directories like Keygen's CTP PBEM mod.

Keygen,

Apolyton units really dont matter to me, but would be nice. Could we have a world map game? Similar to Another World, but only played faster?

Sorry Nuke Boy I thought you meant Apolyton Pack. What are Apolyton units?

[Av8tor]

PN,

I meant the Aployton Pack and,therefore, the related units. There are some differences, which I beleive is on a readme file. I dont know whats involved in using them in a PBEM game. I've played against the AI with them and its definitely more challenging. Some of the unit changes are interesting as well (e.g., catapults, archer horsemen, helicopters, satellites, and cruise missiles). I would like to try it out on a world map, but just mostly would like to play another game.

Guys,

I've been having serious problems playing with the Apolyton pack scenarios. In a private email from PN, I was advised to read the readme files and they would explain to me how to fix these problems. Guess what, the readme files I could find did not do this. I still have the problems, basically I can't load a saved game without the game crashing.

BTW, I have installed the 1.21 Hack which is reported to be the fix. It wasn't, at least for me.

So,... at this time I can't in good conscience join a pbem game using apolyton pack, because I think at best I woun't be able to play, and at worst I may accidentallly corrupt the save file.

That being said, if anyone out there has documentation which actually helped them overcome these (known) bugs, I'd be obliged for a vector.

Thanks,
-Darth Eddie

Darth,

I didn't want to suggest the readmes would tell you how to fix your problems, I was suggesting that your problems are known problems. For example, in ReadMe100 it is a known problem that you cannot load a 24-player world map saved game. First you must start the game, begin a NEW game with 24-player world map, take a single turn, save the game, then load the previously saved game that you really want to play.

This should be fixable. The pack has been around for a long time. Before I installed it, I searched the posts to see if people were having problems and generally speaking they are not. Post on the CTP General/Help/Stratgey forum exactly what you are doing step by step before the game crashes, and what goes wrong. I and others I'm sure will be able to give advice.

[Darth Eddie]

Thanks for the assist PN. I'm in for an Apolyton game. Now all we need is a moderator and we're in business.

Substitute needed for Ed in the US-game (not you Blackice , you have already your share ). The game is NOT rated. Ed is playing the germans. He is last. No war is going on.

[Av8tor]

I'm interested. Let me know if I'm in or out.

[Keygen]

I am looking for a permanent replacement for Napoleon in Another World (Turn 4). Post here if you are interested.

Ok Nuke Boy. You are in.

As Maestro wrote: "The nanite defuser has already been built, so no objections."

You will received turnposts from Don. You shall forward played turns to me (max.reiff@lyngbyes.dk). Your e-mail in your profile, is that correct?!?

All the 'youngbloods gathering' games are running at the pace of an arthiritic snail! May I suggest have only 4 player games next time ?
