toblix Posted May 25, 2010 Yes, there are still free slots and we'ven't started properly yet. Come, join! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
toblix Posted May 25, 2010 Oh, anyone know if queued up actions, such as movement, is done automatically even if I don't log in for my turn? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SuspectKitten Posted May 25, 2010 Ello ello, looks like I may be joining yous in there if there's still a slot. Just updating I will also be on at the weekend for a 30th Birthday game, if anyone would like to join on Saturday afternoon, say, 3pm onwards for a full instant game?

I've never tried one of those -- how long does it usually take? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sombre Posted May 25, 2010 I'll be away from Thursday-Monday, I hope my game auto updates the moves I leave it to. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
toblix Posted May 25, 2010 PS: I think the CivStats Uploader disconnected. Actually I turned it off, since it was consuming CPU cycles like crazy. Do you know if it has to be turned on all the time to be useful, or if I can just run it once a day? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
toblix Posted May 25, 2010 Okay, it's back up in a new game here. Let's see if it works this time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HPopper Posted May 26, 2010 Okay, it's back up in a new game here. Let's see if it works this time. What's the Registration Password? Actually I turned it off, since it was consuming CPU cycles like crazy. Do you know if it has to be turned on all the time to be useful, or if I can just run it once a day? Sorry, never tried it. Just thought it might be useful since this is such a spread-out game. There's also Play Your Turn, another Civ Stat Tracker, which might be less of a resource hog. If these programs slowing down your machine, don't worry about it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
toblix Posted May 26, 2010 What's the Registration Password? Actually, to set a registration password I have to select which leader (Napoleon, Pacal II, etc.) you're playing (from a list of names without pictures). Could you all let me know which one you picked, and I'll set a password. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
toblix Posted May 26, 2010 SuspectKitten, the game warns me that you have different game files than the others playing. It's not a big deal, but you should check to make sure you're all patched up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
toblix Posted May 26, 2010 Also, I tried the stats uploader again, and the pitboss app froze. I had to reload yesterday's state, so some of you might've gone back a turn or two. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Murdoc Posted May 26, 2010 Blarg, I'm all over the place and totally missed this. I'll try to get in the next game that's set up, hehe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
toblix Posted May 26, 2010 Blarg, I'm all over the place and totally missed this. I'll try to get in the next game that's set up, hehe. No, Napoleon is still available. Get in here, we've only done a handful of rounds, nothing that should matter in the long run. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SuspectKitten Posted May 27, 2010 Sounds exciting. I've never tried one of those -- how long does it usually take? I guess around 4 hrs I think? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SuspectKitten Posted May 27, 2010 SuspectKitten, the game warns me that you have different game files than the others playing. It's not a big deal, but you should check to make sure you're all patched up. Yeah I get that too. I'm all patched, I assumed it's just because my moves are different/syncing? Also, you do realise this game will take years, right? It's not even on quick lol. To build my barracks is 60 turns. A turn a day = 60 days = 2 months. I'm building a warrior right now, 15 turns, so I may as well not log in for 2 weeks.. hmmm I'm still up for it, but if it's perhaps still early, could be worth changing the game to quick mode at least, and doing 2 or 3 turns a day, as most moves will all be set up as auto, right...? Happy either way though. Could be funny playing it over a year or two! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
toblix Posted May 27, 2010 I'm all for making changes. I haven't really done any calculations, and don't know the expected duration of anything. It's still early, so if we can all agree on a speedier setup, I say we do it. What do you other people think? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's still early, so if we can all agree on a speedier setup, I say we do it. What do you other people think? If we could agree on a day & time to play, we could play through a bunch of turns until someone had to leave. I'm also fine with changing the game to Quick. Also, if "Take over AI" is checked when setting up the game, you could reduce the turn timer to 12 hours or so without people having to worry about their people just standing around waiting for orders if they miss a turn. The Size could be set to Standard, too. I don't know what it's on now. Or we could do both of those things. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sleepdance Posted May 28, 2010 To be honest, I would prefer the long version of the game, but if others want that kind of game I'm fine with it. Although, couldn't you have another paralel game that would be set for a shorter game? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
toblix Posted July 22, 2010 Okay, I just have to ask: Is anyone but me still playing this thing? I keep the pitboss running, and people are racking up scores. I just want to confirm that this is due to people playing, and not just a bunch of automated workers slowly covering the earth in roads and irrigation.

I just want to confirm that this is due to people playing, and not just a bunch of automated workers slowly covering the earth in roads and irrigation. I am, but I never seem to see stars next to other people's names (meaning they've finished their turn). Edit: Or at least, I was until the server went down today.
