I'm starting this thread as a game host. Anything concerning the game (other than player-to player diplomacy that is ) is to be discussed here.
The players are:
#5 myself (Viking)
#6 quinns (Mexican)
#7 Solar (Romans)
#8 Eerion (Japanese)

I'll be sending the first turn to quinns soon. Hope it doesn't crash

Question: When playing PBEM on Forever Future (FF) do I have to have the FF files loaded on my "Civilization -- Call to Power folder"? Right now, I have two folders, one for my standard CTP PBEM games, and a duplicate folder, but with the FF mod installed called "Civilization -- CTP FF". When I click to open a turn, I wonder if it will bomb or know which folder to use...

[Max_Smirnov]

I guess if you're using a new install for the FF mod, it will bomb out, since the .cgs file is associated with the old install. Then you have to change the file association - and you can't do it on Windows Vista or 7, since the ctp.exe needs to be launched with a parameter... I'll just paste what I have written on the windows 7 issue thread:

1.Go here: creativelement.com/powertools/#download
2. Download it.
3. Edit .csg file entry with File Doctor (I believe that's what it was called). Add a 'r-click command'
4. The command should be civctp.exe -|"%1"

A bit of a hassle, but it'll allow you to have multiple commands available for the .cgs files, so you can play both normal and FF game with no further problems.

Also, turn 0 posted to Senor quinns. Waiting for a return file from Eerion-san

Good luck guys and please don't die prematurely You can post the turns to me anytime, finding 5 minutes to finish a turn is not a big deal for me, even if I'm busy, since I'm sorta between jobs now. I hope it'll be a great game, after all it'll probaly take a year or more

Turn 0 to Solar!

I just loaded it on another machine and overwrote the CTP_DATA folder there. That worked. I can't figure out how to have both on the same machine yet... maybe later!

Playing possum? Two rules I learned in CTP multiplayer: 1) Never trust anyone; 2) When you're sure you can trust someone, refer to rule 1.

[Eerion]

Well this rule refers to some other Multiplayer games, so thanks for info, but I already know that :P
I just jope I won't end up being between 2 deity AI's. They might crush me accidentally :P
