Support Apolyton, pre-order Civilization IV

I know what your email addresses are - I just wanted to avoid to write it in the game (see YRC comments on page 2 from JB and Keygen).

Should I make a restart now with some more "saying" names?

Yes Max. Mainly because the file name that I received from you and the file name I sent to you were exactly the same (CTP_PBEM_CHALLENGE_3) which leads to confusion. Other than that, I don't care about the names. Do whatever you like there.

Tired of ads?

Lung has accepted my challenge. Check out the above standard one vs. one settings Lung. If you agree with the standards, (I hope you do, were trying to get the one vs. one players to use the same settings), then I'll start. If not, let me know which ones to change. Thanks for accepting the challenge.

I'm in.

Blackice -- Are you and Birdman starting a one vs. one challenge match also? Good. The one vs. one PBEM games move very fast. Birdman and I are on turn 112, and we started in May 2002!

No I just thought it would be a whole wack of fun if the top dogs had a shot out. Tourney rules no ruins and a nice big map that was the same for all.

So we just have Lung and Kralj to go. I know Kralj is going on holidays soon. That could give us some time to get a map together.

Regarding a map. We could drag out that old map that was called sym4wayc.csg. (Blackice, Gavrushka and I played a good game on that one -- Gavrushka won -- Damn lucky bloke! ) That was symmetrical for 4 players, but it was set up so that 8 players could have exactly the same terrain and goods. I would only have to remove the central land bridges to make it completely symmetrical for 8 players, (or connect the other land masses on the left and right edges via additional landbridges.)

Sounds good that was a fine job you did on that map

Gav yes he turned into an extremely good player, my guess is he had a great chance at taking that tourney. So did you Quinn

I don't like those sym-maps.

They simply takes the "living" and surprises out of a game.

Okay. I like random maps too... but let's make all ruins off limits... and the wonders illegal -- to lessen the luck factor. Everything else goes. How is that?

AAAARRRGGGGG..... Hulk-hulk.

How studid can I be. I just realized, that I do not need to be afraid of building cities "in-the-middle-of-nowhere" in my first Quinns-challenge (ruins allowed in that game).

I HAVE CONFUSIOUS ACADEMY. I have no need pulling those "wandering normads" closer to my homeland.

quinns,

Modify the following constant to have a value of zero in the Const.txt file before creating the map:

After:

RUINS_CHANCE_PER_BOX 0

This file is generally found in the Civilization-Call to Power/ctp_data/default/gamedata folder. It can also be modified and saved in the default/gamedata of a particular scenario so I've heard

Birdman,

Did you find Confucius Academy in a ruin?

Why, THANKS ICE! But there is some pretty stiff competition there in that "tourney" -- I would have been hard pressed. And one needs VERY much free time to commit to playing in that tournament. I will stick to PBEM. I wish some of those top internet players would come over to PBEM. They would be good competition here. It kind of baffles me -- the reluctance most all of the great internet players have to play PBEM? It just takes a few minutes a day to play PBEM, but hours upon end to play an internet game which usually ends without result. Oh well, to each their own!

True but not many of them have good military skills.

I think what they do not like is the fact cheating is easy to do. I believe all those years in GL have left a permanant distrust of others for them?
