Apolyton CtP2 Lemur Trophy: MP Tournament Thread

[mapfi]

settlers that subsequently get killed...

By whom? We rarely saw any barbs in our game - at least I didn't.

ETB, maq - I could free up some time on Sunday evening (like about GMT 1800 - 2200) - if you want to go along with that. Maq and I need first to test the game tonight though.

To all the other guys - have fun and attack early! (ETB and maq are way too strong already - especially Maq with his slave city NY that probably produces a machinegunner ever turn!)
Good to see the tourny get going after all!

Feels great to be in a tourney

We started today with Arsenal and Shadow our game, things for now are goings as planned, we will see how it goes on Monday when we will continue.

Its great to see people starting to have interest in Ctp2, and playing tourneys.

That's an understatement...But yes, I believe my problem is with my router.

I have DSL coming into my home, connecting into my router, and my router supplies the internet connection for all 5 of our computers (yes, my partner is a network administrator).

The problem I think is happening is that the game server wants the same IP address for upload and download on a given computer. I have one IP address (assigned by my ISP provider) and then my router assigns all the computers on the network another IP address....my partner is planning on buying a better router which will (hopefully) solve this problem, but the purchase will not occur for about another month...So I guess that I have to step out of the tournament until my partner and I can resolve this router/IP sharing/quasi-firewall issue.

Just a small thought on this one Wittlich, one of the Internet shops i work for had lots of problems when we first set it up. It turned out to be because we were using the router to automatically assign IP addresses rather than setting each pc up with it's own(static) IP. What was strange about that was that we used exactly the same system in our other shops and never had a problem. I'm not a tech guy, just might be worth a shot to assign the pc's you want to use a static IP????
Like you i usually play over LAN, so i'm interested to see if you can sort this problem - if i get time to try it online i may well face the same problems

Interesting. I basically had barb problems from opening my second goodie hut on. During one battle with the barbs, my entire RL house shook. Never saw that game effect before. Turns out it had nothing to do with the game but was a small earthquake/tremor here in LA (no kidding).

I am also finding, compared to Toni and Shadow, that I am quite the conservative player. My military adventures are usually saved for much later in the game. I may have to reconsider that strategy.

Fun stuff this multiplayer. A couple of small problems and idiosyncrasies here and there, but for the most part smooth sailing. We knocked out close to six hours of playing, which I think is a pretty good start. Hopefully the re-start on Monday will work out. My masterplan is just beginning to unfold.

Not far off, and its fascists

Strange that, because i checked in the lobby about an hour after you started and there wasnt anyone there Does that mean you got some resynchs? How many turns did you manage to get done?

I can't recall the number of turns, but we started sometime after 6 (local time) and ended at 11:00. We did get bounced on a couple of occassions, but had what I considered pretty smooth restarts (bar the very first).

Actually I meant to say close to five hours, not six.

Beside my claiming the whole American land to be my soil around turn 20, that's one more reason to take it over - liberate it from your oppression (of course not the slaves, let them work hard )

[Wittlich]

Child of Thor, Thanks for the insight.

Hopefully I can have my partner look into it this Sunday...

[mkalthoff]

@dregman: I can play from now on, but the other guy(Turambar) said, he is going out today.

[dregman]

well than we'll try sunday alright?

[mkalthoff]

yes, of course. I am looking forward to it.

[mapfi]

So ETB, are you around at all?
I can promise Sun at GMT 1800 but maybe even 2 hours earlier. I´ll post again tomorrow around 1200 GMT, until then keep practicing (you´ll need it)

[Turambar]

I'm fine for Sunday still .
