5 CST AM or PM? I'm assuming PM, which probably means I will be unable to join, as it's pretty damn late then.

PM, roughly 4 1/2 hours from now.

Not guaranteeing anything, but I should be able to pop in. I would recommend organizing through the Dwarf Fortress Community (Steam) chat. Might pick up a few extra people too.

4-5 people is what I was aiming for.  There's actually one really interesting 4 player assymmetrical map I came across that is fairly well balanced which I was thinking about having us use if this got that many players.

Annnnddd... I just had a surprise trip dropped on me with zero prior warning. Fairly good chance I'll be on the road or about to hit it when the games start

May still be able to join in, but it's now looking doubtful. Bleh.

[Donuts]

Yeah, I probably can't join at 1AM. Maybe magic will strike, but it's unlikely.

Man, this game looks so unintuitive, compared to TA...

I may be able to start it around 3:30 CST instead, if that would help.  One of my classes is dismissing early.

TA?

While it does give off that appearance, I find it is fairly intuitive once you get down to playing it.  Tutorial might help a bit, I admit.

*waggles hand* Only a little, in practice, especially by this point. It's certainly more complicated -- being able to more-or-less custom design your units is going to do that, as is the research system -- but it still flows pretty well and controls pretty decently. There's quite a few really nice quality of life options (auto-retreat at low health, ferex). Arguably flows even better for the larger-scale combat, since the existence of commander units and how they work do a decent job on cutting down micromanagement and whatnot. There's a lot of things going for it.

TA would be Total Annihilation, Zanz.

Don't forget about the sensor/counter battery/'air detection' (can't remember the specific name) towers.  Pretty good at automating defensive positions, though having them mounted on a platform allows for specific targeting.

When would we start, then? I might be able to sneak in a little bit of time before I'll have to get my sleep.

Setting up the game now.  The teamspeak or mumble won't be there this time around, but I am going to stream the game.  Don't cheat off of it.

[Zanzetkuken The Great]

Game is now up.  The game name is 'Bay 12 Game' and the password is 'Dwarf'.  I have it set to a 4 person map, but if less show up, I'll lower the amount.

Can't see the game. You sure you port forwarded and shinnanigans? Also, that you have the latest version?

Running the latest version.  Had to close and reconnect, as the first time it canceled due to permissions.
