By whom? We rarely saw any barbs in our game - at least I didn't.

ETB, maq - I could free up some time on Sunday evening (like about GMT 1800 - 2200) - if you want to go along with that. Maq and I need first to test the game tonight though.

To all the other guys - have fun and attack early! (ETB and maq are way too strong already - especially Maq with his slave city NY that probably produces a machinegunner ever turn!)
Good to see the tourny get going after all!

quote: Originally posted by Wittlich That's an understatement...But yes, I believe my problem is with my router. I have DSL coming into my home, connecting into my router, and my router supplies the internet connection for all 5 of our computers (yes, my partner is a network administrator). The problem I think is happening is that the game server wants the same IP address for upload and download on a given computer. I have one IP address (assigned by my ISP provider) and then my router assigns all the computers on the network another IP address....my partner is planning on buying a better router which will (hopefully) solve this problem, but the purchase will not occur for about another month...So I guess that I have to step out of the tournament until my partner and I can resolve this router/IP sharing/quasi-firewall issue.

Just a small thought on this one Wittlich, one of the Internet shops i work for had lots of problems when we first set it up. It turned out to be because we were using the router to automatically assign IP addresses rather than setting each pc up with it's own(static) IP. What was strange about that was that we used exactly the same system in our other shops and never had a problem. I'm not a tech guy, just might be worth a shot to assign the pc's you want to use a static IP????
Like you i usually play over LAN, so i'm interested to see if you can sort this problem - if i get time to try it online i may well face the same problems

Interesting. I basically had barb problems from opening my second goodie hut on. During one battle with the barbs, my entire RL house shook. Never saw that game effect before. Turns out it had nothing to do with the game but was a small earthquake/tremor here in LA (no kidding).

I am also finding, compared to Toni and Shadow, that I am quite the conservative player. My military adventures are usually saved for much later in the game. I may have to reconsider that strategy.

Fun stuff this multiplayer. A couple of small problems and idiosyncrasies here and there, but for the most part smooth sailing. We knocked out close to six hours of playing, which I think is a pretty good start. Hopefully the re-start on Monday will work out. My masterplan is just beginning to unfold.

Strange that, because i checked in the lobby about an hour after you started and there wasnt anyone there Does that mean you got some resynchs? How many turns did you manage to get done?

I can't recall the number of turns, but we started sometime after 6 (local time) and ended at 11:00. We did get bounced on a couple of occassions, but had what I considered pretty smooth restarts (bar the very first).

Actually I meant to say close to five hours, not six.

Yes, I am finally back home. It was a rather busy trip this time, but I still had time on Wednesday to sneak into Apolyton for a few minutes. I’ll look for your post tomorrow morning. I can make 1600 or 1800 GMT/CUT/UT. Shall we meet here or just go into the CtP2 lobby?

Sorry guys, due to personal issues I haven't been online much last week, and I'm afraid I can't say how much I'll be online this week. Fortunately it looks like you guys are managing fine without me though I'll try to read through this entire thread and see if my interference is needed anywhere.

If you urgently need me for something, it would at least for the next few days or so be best to email or PM me...

Okay me ETB and Mapfi just "finished" our game, we decided on the result after many crashes due to (we think) a corrupt save file. After Mapfi took 3 of my cities in 2 turns (one of which i wouldve taken back next turn ) and I took one of ETB's cities, we decided that Mauro won, me (a VERY close) second and ETB third.

I wouldve fought on to the end seeing as it was so close but the crashes became more frequent so i let Mapfi off I blame the result on me being placed inbetween the two, preparing for war on 2 fronts isnt a good idea!

Good game nevertheless

Windows XP and 2K appear to cause headaches for MP. Maquiladora had no problem connecting to a game started by mapfi or me, but mapfi could not connect to a game that I started and visa versa. That’s how Maquiladora became the host – he was the only one that we could both connect to and play. Turning off the firewall helped, but our game still crashed after that and mapfi and I still could not connect in a game that he started as host. I would like to know if anyone has any suggestions because I do not have CtP2 on a computer with windows 98 or 95 on it!

It was a fun game – and stable until we tried to attack each other. I have a lot of new ideas that I want to try in my next MP game!

Do you mean the setup with the colours? In which case id suggest you change the colours on your own setup to brighter colours, except staying with the general colour so it doesnt get confusing in game with other players. Like that brown is hard to read anywhere, so just notch it up slightly.
