Civilization IV anyone?
« on: August 10, 2011, 12:15:42 am »

Me and Umiman had a game earlier (he won) and will be doing so again.  It would be pretty cool if some of you other dwarfy people would like to join us.

Things you will need
Civ IV with the Beyond the Sword expansion, patched all the way up to 3.19
Hamachi
Something to play the game on (I recommend a computer of some description)
The snack and/or beverage of your choice
A brain

If anyone wants to play but doesn't have/can't afford the game, feel free to drop me an email and we'll see if that can be worked around.

For those that are interested; would you prefer to play vanilla or the Fall from Heaven 2 mod?

I have it, but unfortunately its not a legitimate version. Does Hamachi completely work around that? If so i'd be up to play a game.

Well, you do have a busy life, what with keeping tabs on wild, rough-and-tumble forum members while sorting out the drama between your twenty two inner lesbians.
Your drunk posts continue to baffle me.

Hamachi basically acts as a fake LAN, so you'll be fine.  What patch version are you running?

E: you can check through the game itself if unsure.

Wish I could join you, though I don't have Beyond the Sword...

I'm missing Beyond the Sword and a brain, so I can only watch in envy.

I would like to be in, but ...
When are we playing ?
I'm working, and in france, so could play from now, during 6 hours, or during the week-end....

Also, never played online, and not played for long (tried CivV since, but ... meh ...).


PS: and i've got the 3.5 Go to DL again ^^'

I'm just across the channel myself (UK) so it shouldn't be too hard.  I figure we can arrange a time and date once we get a few people interested.

I would be interested, and in a similar time zone ( italy) so it shouldn't be a problem.

Fall from heaven gets my vote, should be rather interesting.
I am not sure if I can join however, recently I tried to use hamachi and it stubbornly refused to work. Which is strange since a few months ago it worked perfectly.

Do you use Steam or AIM or MSN or anything?

If so, we can have a bash at getting it working for you now.

I use steam. I could try the other 2, but I would be rather clueless.

About that, I'm on Steam too (tompliss).

And, which version of FFH ?
with a modmod (FallFurther, WildMana, Master of mana) ?

The latest version can be downloaded here: http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=308020

Grab that and put 'patch o' and the media pack (linked to in the same post) on top of it.

'Patch p' (the unofficial one) can be obtained from here: http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=419634

The default installation path should be Program Files\Firaxis Games\Sid Meier's Civilization 4\Beyond the Sword\Mods.  There's no need to overwrite any files to use mods in Civ IV.

*walks in*
Hey, doesn't Fall From Heaven 2 have a tendency to disconnect players and make a huge error message cover the screen?
