I would like a Multiplayer game...

[Barley]

Trying to enter lobby's.. getting the message 'Waiting for Servers'.

I'll have a play around though if you have any suggestions please let me know.


PS. Sorry for lots of stupid questions but im a computer illiterate, thanks for your time and help.

Hmm, it sounds like it could be in the wrong folder, for clarity mine is in:

C:\games\CtP2 MP\ctp2_program\ctp

The default would obviously be:

C:\Program Files\Activision\Call To Power 2\ctp2_program\ctp

[Barley]

Yep thats sorted it, now in lobby.

Thanks a lot, have a great Christmas and New Year... Dont get to pi$$ed.... oh go on then

[Maquiladora]

Nice one.

You should post a report on your game or something too, theyre always interesting to read. Maybe ill join you next time.

[Ekmek]

and our screenshot thread thread could use some resurrecting...

[Maquiladora]

I suppose someone could submit the ones from the screenshot thread to the directory.

Not sure how many people would see them now, but still theyre nice to have in one place.

[Barley]

I'll post some summaries and screen shots of games, however at the moment my oponent is learning some of the finer points of multiplayer game and is fairly new to CTP2.

Hey Barley & Maq, just saw your post, wow I'm glad to see you guys are still around. It has been a while, we definitely should get together for a game, as Barley said an old timers game he he. By the way I haven't touched Ctp2 for like 10-11 months lol. I even think my last game was with you Barley, so we have a save to continue LOL. I’m right now on a vacation, I will be back home after Christmas. Will get online on icq asp and we can start from there.

Yea Maq I've been playing some CivIV since it came out, game is good lots of Ctp2 ideas copied there.

Glad to see you two are doing ok will see u soon. Just Barley try not to disappear like last time lol

I will be playing as soon as I'm back.

Cya guys, Cheers

Hi Toni!

Hopefully we can get a game going in the new year then.

Knowing how hard it is to arrange these meetings, hopefully we can finish at least a game a night this time, in maybe a 5 or 6hr session.

[EPW]

I'm always up for a game of ctp2 Well, when I'm bored anyways

[Toni]

Hi Epw, it’s good to see you too.

Ok so we have a game then, wow I barely remember the game lol I'm a newbie



I'm up for 1vs1 and team games

Cya u all soon

[Barley]

Lol you guys are fantastic...

We'll have the old 4 sum back together by the look of this.

Hi Toni, EPW good to see you guys around to.

I stopped playing, as during the summer months I compete in Triathlon and other races, this takes most of my free time up with training and as such CTP bit the dust.

I have time over the winter months to play and dug the game out a few weeks ago, I to havnt played sine about February this year, amazing how rusty you get but its coming back quite quickly.

As your on vacation Toni can you let us know the dates you can start, im free pretty much every night (Friday's and Saturdays possibly a little more difficult), as usual I can play from around 7pm GMT - 2/3am GMT (later if a weekend night).

Ive always loved CTP2, just a game im so used to and think ill always come back to it. Make sure your all still around for the 2025 CTP2 unoficial world multiplayer championships.

[Maquiladora]

"World" championship as in "us four".

I can play Mon-Wed any times and Sat all day but finishing before midnight GMT.

[Barley]

"World" championship as in "us four".

Unless you can suggest any better CTP2 Multiplayers?

Ive never come accross any with the exception of Cloud and a few others in the good old days of Battlefield though I think we even took game play to a new level of perfection before we stopped.

This said im sure there are a lot of guys that play that we're not even aware of, even now (this week) ive seen a few people in the lobbies and there always used to be a few German games going on...

There are also many who no doubt play the modded game, know the game dynamics inside out from developing the source code etc.

[Maquiladora]

Very few, Mazaika and H would be included, and some others who abandoned the gameleague, and some from CtP1 PBEM are really good players but they wont switch over.

Theres not much you can learn from the sourcecode that would practically give you an advantage, since you still have to make the right choices, which only comes with practice.
