I'm new. I want play civ2MP online as fast as it's possible! ;-) - Page 2

floyd · January 25, 2003, 14:16

One more technical question,

I live in student flat with guy, which of course love Civ. We have local network and common IP number in internet. Are there any problems if both of us want play in the same MP? Other words: may two players join to game from the same IP?

thx for your help

Ming · January 25, 2003, 14:17

Never tried that... we have a network in our house, but each machine has it's own IP address.

War4ever · January 25, 2003, 14:19

yeah not sure about that.....there is always hotseat if it doesn't work, let us know though, i am going to set up another machine in my place in the next week and i want to know the same thing.....

floyd · January 25, 2003, 14:26

We'll try it in future. At the moment my friend is hard learning and waiting for evening game to incite me

Our comps have own IP each in our network. I think possible reconfiguration of ports on our router will be sufficient. We'll examine it.

Ming · January 25, 2003, 14:37

Good luck... let us know if it works, and how you set it up.

War4ever · January 25, 2003, 14:40

yes, with a second computer set up i can now peek and be on an even keel with the rest of the cheaters around here

floyd · January 25, 2003, 14:48

You're right. I didn't realize it. That's problem.

Only war between us make us credible

War4ever · January 25, 2003, 14:50

i was joking of course

floyd · January 25, 2003, 14:51

Otherwise, it's the most powerful alliance I know

Ming · January 25, 2003, 14:53

I remember when MWHC first discovered the two computer cheat... Thank god we all play with people we trust now

floyd · January 25, 2003, 14:57

I think, trust and honesty are base of great fun. Is any satisfaction from dishonest win?

I think isn't.

War4ever · January 25, 2003, 14:57

hehe......and thankfully he shared that info....nothing worse than an altered rules.txt or some other cheat to make you feel like you have wasted your time

Ming · January 25, 2003, 15:08

Yeah... I've never seen the purpose of cheating. It would seem to take all the fun out of it...

And yes war... back then, we would normally use the cheat for the game it was discovered in, and then start a thread on the subject, never using it again. In one fourway game with me, MWHC, rah, and Xin Yu... Xin was finding a new cheat/bug like every 20 minutes... and sending out king chat messages like, "you aren't going to believe this" or "you have to try this"

The early years of the game were a blast.

War4ever · January 25, 2003, 15:23

of course it took 8 months to play a game then, cuz xins turns took so long

floyd · January 25, 2003, 15:28

Is it true that Civ3MP automatically connect and find available online players? I heard about it. If it isn't rumour, it is very comfortable!

War4ever · January 25, 2003, 15:39

yes they have a lobby you can enter to find friends/games etc..many games are like that....

Ming · January 25, 2003, 15:43

Heck... I like the "lobby" in these forums much better, and find it FAR more comfortable

War4ever · January 25, 2003, 15:55

lol, its the place where everybody knows your name.....

plus those lobbies are hard to figure out who is talking to who....

floyd · January 25, 2003, 16:07

CapTVK appeared!!

We start the game in few minutes!

It's my debut!!

CapTVK · January 25, 2003, 16:07

Enough talk, time to play!

Ming · January 25, 2003, 16:09

Good luck guys. Have fun and kick some ass.

War4ever · January 25, 2003, 16:10

good luck you guys, go easy on him Cap!!!!!!

DrSpike · January 25, 2003, 17:08

What's the betting Floyd will be engaged in some Freeciv testing in the near future?

War4ever · January 25, 2003, 17:10

yeah i would say odds are 2-1 at this point, depends how the game goes lol

CapTVK · January 25, 2003, 18:31

Well the session is over, my skills might be rusty but I'm still in the lead (11 cities to 7). Got an early hit from a barb attack but managed to recover. The game could have gone either way though. I haven't gotten monarchy yet and meanwhile Floyd (who is in Monarchy) was mooching off my techs. I did locate some of his cities however.

All in all, a fun quick session

War4ever · January 25, 2003, 18:33

lol, did you tell him about free civ

Well, maybe just a little...

floyd · January 25, 2003, 18:43

Good game! I enjoy MP gaming! Thank you CapTVK!

There were not many those techs. My fourth diplomat was able to establish embassy only.

I was afraid I would finish game as fast as I had started, but my condition is well, I think.

I'm waiting to continue game impatiently.

Thank you CapTVK. If it weren't for you I wouldn't join Great MULTIPLAYER World. Thank you.

Floyd

Painful with 11 cities.

floyd · January 25, 2003, 18:48

I had strategic position. My archer was fortificated next to the Cap city, than my diplomats are always protected.

Cap: If you had destroyed this archer, I wouldn't have stolen you any tech.

Otherwise, your cities were located very close each other. Than I was able to steal you three techs.
