OK guys, the game is back up. Again, sorry for the short notice on the break. If I hadn't been out of town it would have just been a couple hours, but I haven't given my wife a class on setting up the pitboss server and civstats uploader yet...lol

I don't know about everyone else but this has been thrill a minute/edge of your seat stuff so far!

I can't wait to see what is going to be in my goodie hut!

I'm wondering, is there a way to speed up the turntimer for the first 2 weeks of a game to let's say 12hrs and put it back to 24 when the first barbs arrive?

BCLG100 · 31-03-2008, 22:22

you can change the turn timer mid game for sure. I already popped my goody hut, i got fission!

Sorry it's a boring game. I'd change the turn timer, but there's no way I'd make all my turns at 12 hours. I know Bodean has a pretty busy schedule as well and is probably toughing it out just to make 20 hour turns. Just floating the idea here to see what kind of responses I get, but what would you all think about a tearing down the game and starting a new one with different settings?

I dont mind so much but its up to everyone else- we could try advanced start with say 2000 gold or something like that. That'd bring us back to where we are now essentially.

I think that, if (at least!) 2 of you are bound to be slow, advanced start would help.

I think it is an OK game, Civ4 is actually boring and slow but once it gets going after 60-70 turns, it will get better. As all have noticed, I'm having a horrible start (dead last in score for the time being) but it is still OK, just slow going at the beginning. If the map would have been inspected before the start for overlaps or for two civs on one island, we could have started with 2 settlers, 3 warriors, worker and some gold but even if we did not, it still might be fine.
