    ToT and Civ2MP have simultaneous movement!

    It's true, human players can move at the same time in MP!

    Excuse me for posting this here, but this could be major news.
    Skeptics should forego any thought of convincing the unconvinced that we hold the torch of truth illuminating the darkness. A more modest, realistic, and achievable goal is to encourage the idea that one may be mistaken. Doubt is humbling and constructive; it leads to rational thought in weighing alternatives and fully reexamining options, and it opens unlimited vistas.

      The only reason this would be of any interest to us, of course, is if there are scenario implications. And I think there are.

      1) Battle type scenarios: It would be interesting to see how this works with a scenario like "Gettysburg". Maybe Polaris & a volunteer could test simultaneous play and give us their impressions. A modified, 2-to-4 player version of "Second Front" would really be something!

      2) Dungeons & Dragons: This could be an entirely new genre of Scenario. Imagine a human "Dungeon Master" overseeing and interacting with several human role-players. The DM sees the whole map and has "spotter units" posted at key locations so he's always aware of what's going on. He could control the monsters and maybe even some units which temporarily join each player's quest. Perhaps he also controls the trigger units and is able to move them into position as needed. The possibilities are endless!

      From what I understand of that Civ game of yours, it's all about launching one's own spaceship before the others do. So this is no big news after all: my father just beat you all to the stars once more. - Philippe Baise

        Hey Field Marshall, what image are you talking about seeing at the civfanatics forums?
        That would be great for scenarios if someone could make a great WW2 scenario like Ansteig but not just for the germans, it'd be great.
        Anyone wanna try it out?

          Wow, I made my own copy of that image and put it up, but it has gone away. Wierd.
          It was the image with the selection menu showing the simultanious movement box. I recieved an email from CapTVK saying that he was asked to not post it because it was causing slowdowns at the fanatics site, and that I should do the same. So, I copied the image and put it up on anglefire (which for some reson worked, and now it doesn't).
          Whatever, everyone has seen the image with the new box checked off so the point has become moot.

            Erm, I don`t mean sound naive, but where is this option? I can`t seem to find it anywhere in the Civ preferences at all.

              You must add the following line Simultaneous=1 to the civ.ini file in your /windows directory.

              Check the threads above for details.

                That would explain it. Thanks.

                  It doesn`t. The option is blanked out.

                    Question: Does this/How does this work in Hotseat?
