I really hope me and dell can finish the current game off tonight. So round 3 could start as early as Saturday 4pm CEST. We will need to finish around 6 though as I am going out to watch the football.
If you are new to our games you need to open UDP port 2056 and check it with the tool downloaded from here http://portforward.com/help/portcheck.htm.
The map we use can be found here http://forums.civfanatics.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=14572. Hints and tips can be found here http://www.civfanatics.com/civ4/strategy.
I think we should include a rule like "you can be replaced by AI if you are 500 points behind the top player and everyone else is online".
Post your choice of civ below if you wanna play.

so that would have been anyone besides delling and you in our last game
Mhh ok! I can't make saturday this weekend but if it's ok, would like to join in later on.
Inca -> Ethiopia -> Persia in order of preference
Oh and put in a 12 hour turn timer :P
I think the 500 point gap only really opened up last night Grish.
12 hour turn timer and city raising to be turned on. How do people feel about changing to "Epic" game lenght. That is ~600 turns instead of the ~400 for the last game.
I'd rather stick to quick or normal, because those are the speeds I know (and I presume other people are comfortable with them too).
The whole 'Normal' thing really threw me off in this game -- it's the first Normal game I've played past 100 turns!
Sounds good!
I'd like to give the vikings a try, if archz doesn't mind.

You better win then!
I could try the Aztecs, or whoever that light blue player is -- Pacal? They have mysticism I think... will have a look.
Just make sure you plan ahead then delling. My performance in this last game is no indication of how playing in america is, I failed.
But it's still a disadvantage, except it's a lot safer.
The Myans are awesome though. They have the 2 best civics, great unique unit (UU) and unique building (UB) and the native americans to shield them from the worst of the barbarians.
I look forward to seeing what kind of empire Dell has when I sail over there!
ill stick with russians again... allthough i failed a bit last game
So which civs are taken, and which can I chose from?
Edit: and do we have to do the same map?
I'd like to play an american civ, or maybe the one sint played last time, in south africa?
A few notes:
- 12 hour turn timer! Or maybe even 8?
- City razing, can we turn that on please? :)
- Maybe make it, say, 30% behind the leader, instead of 500 points?
- I wouldn't mind the epic game length.
Ya, I'll try the Mayans. Not convinced they're great, beyond the first 2 or 3 cities... but... I'll give it a shot!
I wormed enough with Single player , will come on parteh , can be Indian (hair style i like :D ) aka Native American.
Incan I guess, Americas is full.
I think I'll try Koreans, doing some SPs now, failing but whatever, that's just the way it goes :D
I been playing a bit of SP (used to love civ3, but never had time for civ4), so I'm interested in how skilled are you. On what difficulty you play your SP games, noble? Do you automate all workers actions (A) or build improvements manually (I understand they don't build enough cottages in A mode, but I cba to manually control them)?
Thanks :)
if you use worker automatisation, you can set cities to focus on production, commerce and other things and workers will build the improvements that go along with it, so in case you set the city to commerce, it's just gonna be full of cottages everywhere
We play on noble mouse. All the humans and the AI.
I think I'm gonna go with Babylon if Kesh wants the Zulu.
Any word on city razing? :)
Yes to city raising.
Hugmaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan, where are youuuuuuuuuuu

Did you put up a game yesterday? Any AI I could take over?
Yap. Holy Roman, Mongolia, Ethiopia, Carthage, Ottoman.
