3 hours for a turn I am seldom using more than 2 minutes (up to 15-20 minutes in the late game, when it goes high and I am in a hot war).

Maybe that explains why I am placed as number 10 and you higher up

you mean because im better or because my losses take longer ?

[blackgryffin]

how many people here are playing PBEM games these times ?

[Mathemagician]

in this thread ? i would say all that have at least one game (win or loss) entered for the ladder. except for a few quiet ones (David - to be expected back some time, Mieciofok - probably not to be expected back)

i'm playing a pbem game now but it's quite long ... interesting to practice the vertue of patience !!!

but i wonder if i could play another 1 or 2 PBEM game ... is there someone(s) who have time to begin a play or a game which begins soon ???

hum ...

[Mathemagician]

hmm havent heard from blackice for a while about our upcoming challenge game. if he changed his mind i might have time for one.

[blackgryffin]

tried a reboot of your PC ?
the game has a couple of SLIC modifications, but these should all be included in the save game file, so no compatibility problems. are you using CTP 1.2 ?

[blackgryffin]

lololololololololololol

in fact i got a macintosh osX and ... lolololol ... so i don't have to reboot the pc
yes i play CTP 1.2 but if you have some mods or some slic files changes, normal i can't open it

i have to get the same slic files changes to open it ... hélas !

by the way ... i'm looking for to change some txt and slic file for a function i saw in the files of CTP1 but inactive in the game : give, exchange and demand a city ... do u think it's a big deal ??

okay, should have said computer (i always think of PC as a computer, else i would say windows - ah whatever)
dont you mac guys reboot anything ?

is that a difference to a PC too ? normally (on a PC at least) slic file changes alone dont corrupt the file.

depends if it was actually implemented in the CTP source code. assuming it was, you should be able to just make a backup of your script.slc and incomment those functions that refer to city exchange. however, you would need to select that option inside the game somehow, since it is not part of the diplomatic screen. that could be much more complicated. better ask someone else...
