SUccession Game

civman2000 · February 9, 2002, 18:50

There are a whole lot of posts for setting up this game, so if you want to get to where we actually start playing, click HERE

OK, this will be my first succession game. THe 1st person will have 20 turns, then 15, and the rest 10. Random civ on my edited huge world map , with all 16 civs, difficulty worlord or regent (TBA). Up to six people can join...I will not be able to start it for a few days for reasons explained here .

I'm not very experienced and have never done a succession game before, so i wont be too good...Anyone?

Coinich · February 12, 2002, 19:11

I'd like to give it a try.

Sovy Kurosei · February 13, 2002, 01:48

Never tried a succession game before, but I am willing to give it a whir

civman2000 · February 13, 2002, 18:01

Good, but i wont be able to start until at least next week...

CLick on the link on the first post to see why...

Sovy Kurosei · February 14, 2002, 22:25

Did you try uninstalling properly? Or at tried installing into a different directory?

Either that, or you need to check out your game and maybe the regedit for a bit.

civman2000 · February 14, 2002, 23:49

no...i got a response from tech support...ill have to try a few things, but ultimately ill have to clean the disk...i just hope i dont accidentally mess it up...

anyway, it might be another week before i can get started...sorry!

Sovy Kurosei · February 15, 2002, 19:48

Oh well, just another week to work on my story

Exactly my original thoughts in setting it up!

steelehc · February 15, 2002, 23:59

I'm in. This'll be my first succession game.... any ideas as to which civ we'll use??

Sovy Kurosei · February 16, 2002, 02:50

Depends... Personally, I wouldn't mind taking on Babylonians, because of their Scientific And Religious persona.

Plus, nothing can compare to the 2/2 Bowman in the Anciants time

Sovy Kurosei · February 16, 2002, 02:51

BTW, should we all get patched up with the 1.17f patch?

civman2000 · February 16, 2002, 10:07

nope

I already had plans for this before civ messed up for me (hopefully ill get it fixed this weekend

). Random ciiv, but rename it and stuff...ill let the details be a surprise!

Yep...sorry for making you all wait so long

civman2000 · February 16, 2002, 10:15

So when we start (hopefully monday or tuesday) this will be the order:
1. civman2000
2. Sovy Kurosei
3. Coinich
4. steelehc

1st turn for everyone is 20 turns, then 15, then the rest are 10...Difficulty will be regent

civman2000 · February 16, 2002, 10:20

oh yeah, one more thing: I think you might have to have the scenario in order to be able to load the saved game, so make sure you get it

Sovy Kurosei · February 16, 2002, 17:07

Maybe... The files are 5 MB's themselves. Sometimes more.

I am pretty sure they would have the map that it is included with them. Sorta serves like logic, since you do need the map and the unit placement in the same file, otherwise the unit placement wouldn't know how to place the units.

NO, mine is very small, <1 MB.

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

CLeaning the disk didnt work! Now I'll have to buy another copy...probably at least 3 more days!

They don't have to be in the same file...I'm not even sure if they both have to be in the civ3 folder, because it probably just saves the path to the setup when you save.

Sovy Kurosei · February 17, 2002, 16:21

I am pretty sure you don't need the map...

Lets remember random maps now. They don't have a scenario file, because it all packs up into one big 5 MB save file

Coinich · February 17, 2002, 18:23

I guess I need it all explained to me.

Can someone please lay out what all the particulars (including files) are that I must have to play in this game.

Thanks a bunch! I guess we now know who the weakest link is

steelehc · February 17, 2002, 19:41

You need:

A computer.
Civ3 the game.
The .sav file for the succession game.

I don't think you need the map file, it stores that in the .sav file. I think thats all you'll need for this particular game...

Coinich · February 17, 2002, 20:00

Steele - ok - thanks

Was getting confused by all the map talk I guess

Coinich

civman2000 · February 17, 2002, 20:07

Just in case, you should still download the map (attatched)

civman2000 · February 17, 2002, 20:12

This is irrelevant, i know

but I found out you can add yourself to your own buddy list (experimentally!)

Sovy Kurosei · February 17, 2002, 22:18

Actually, related to the topic above, I believe there was a bug with ICQ that crashed your computer/ICQ Program. The only fix to it was to add yourself to your buddy list. I think its fixed now, but just related to the above post

civman2000 · February 17, 2002, 22:34

ICQ?

Sovy Kurosei · February 17, 2002, 23:22

ICQ is a chat program. Much like MSN Messenger, AIM, Yahoo! Chat, and to some extent, Internet Chat Relay ( IRC )

steelehc · February 18, 2002, 07:41

ICQ-- Stupid "acronym" for I seek you.

Steele

PS:When do we start?

civman2000 · February 18, 2002, 09:53

as soon as my game gets fixed...hopefully some time this week...probablywednesday or thursday

Sovy Kurosei · February 18, 2002, 14:53

Bleagh... Thats 2 or 3 days away! Oh well!
