Who's up?

techumseh · June 6, 2003, 23:47

Uh, that would be me.

Here's what I did. I loaded the save game from Pompey, then minimized it and loaded lazy CPSL, played my turn over, did the Ctrl 'N' thing and saved. Is that right?

MagyarCrusader · June 7, 2003, 02:38

no, it was civfan's turn, then mine, then you

techumseh · June 7, 2003, 02:46

OK, if I did it in the wrong order, did I do it right?

If you didn't conquer and cities, yes but it wouldn't matter. If you conquered a city you would have had to do this:

Quote:

- Let's say a player start his turn, well, before doing everything else, it should select LazyCSPL bar and press 's'
- LazyCiv will save all production queues of all cities with the exception of player civ.
- The player play its turn as always.
- Just before saving the file he should select LazyCSPL and press 'l'

Actually it would be MJ's turn. After I moved the Gauls, neither St.Leo nor Fairline captured a city, so their turns don't cause a problem. MJ did, so he needs to replay the turn, and exactly recreate the results of the turn in which he captures Legio - using LazyCSPL this time (the test file doesn't replicate the turn exactly, so it's not valid). After that, Tecumseh, ANZAC, and CivFan proceed - also recreating their last turns. None have to use LazyCSPL UNLESS they captured enemy cities during their turns. After Civfan's turn, THEN the Gauls move and the game returns to normal.

I think that sums it up.

Just checking in. I'll play/post my turn when I get back from work tonight.

It's deja vu all over again.

The ANZAC · June 12, 2003, 23:04

It's still safe to sail "Mare Nostrum"

Civfan · June 14, 2003, 19:37

ok

fairline · June 15, 2003, 11:56

OK, do I need to use this LazyCSPL when I take my turn?

The ANZAC · June 15, 2003, 13:19

if you don't capture any cities during your turn, then there is no need to use it. If you do capture a city, you must use it.

In order to work, LazyCSPL {EDIT} can be used anytime after your turn begins, but it MUST be launched and "run" PRIOR to capturing an enemy city. (Click the LazyCSPL bar and type "s")

"Message to Julius Caesar":

O' Caesar! This time thy gifts are truly stunning in their bounty! Cities, Generals, Legions, Velites, Archers.....one scarcely knows where to begin! Well, perhaps here. Vercingtorix has a few suggestions for thee, Roman Dog:

1) Surrender thy few remaining Gaulish cities to their rightful owner.
2) Pack up what little remains of thy armies and lead them south into Spain.
3) There you may claim title to the Basque cities of Pallantia and Legio.
4) Begin your retreat immediately and perhaps - just perhaps - the King of the Gauls will let you live.

Begone from my realm, son of slaves, and let not thy tent flap strike ye in the rear as you flee in ignominy!

"Message to Pompous the Windbag":

Bravo evildoer! Thou hast sunk to new depths of treachery, and have thereby gained temporary custody of Legio. But rest assured, the Gauls are now aware of this tactic and shall not be fooled twice. As for thy future, verminous hyena-spawn, simply cast thy fearful eyes to the North and East and there behold the fate which now befalls that impotent catamite, Julius the Misbegotten. Tremble in thy simpering sandals and know that the might of Gaul shall turn upon you in all it's fury once we have dispensed with your erstwhile ally!

A sale of all the libraries has yielded 80 gold.

Tech: I just tried to DL the scenario from your site (yet another thing lost when my pc died) and I got this message:

'The file you are attempting to download exceeds our file size limits. There is a 1MB file size limit for free accounts and a 5MB file size limit for paid accounts. If the file is under 5MB we suggest that you upgrade your account in the User Manager section when you login.'

Is it available elsewhere?
