I'm in the same game as Conq. I'd be willing to sub if needed.

Well, the "give-away" would severely unbalance the game.

I have declared war on CTrain and have launched an attack on this turn. I was the last player to play the turn at 8:00 EST but will not use the double move. I will wait to move again until after CTrain plays the turn.
As Stin said a while back, it was getting boring. Also, I am respecting the original alliance on this continent (whiplash, necro, ctrain) which was violated by ctrain.

From Canuck Soldier:
For those who want to keep both versions of WL's to finish PBEM or DirectIP pitboss games here's what I do.
This assumes that you have not patched and still only have version 200, if you have patched you will have to uninstall WL's and reinstall WL ver 200 from the CD.
1. Open windows explorer, and navigate to C:\program files\firaxis games\Sid Meier's Civilization 4\
2. You should now see a folder called Warlords, right click and drag that to your destop, when you release your mouse it will give you the option of copy or move please chose copy. You now have a copy of the original ver 200 folder.
3. Click on the folder name on the desktop folder, and change it to Warlords200, hit enter to finish the change.
4. Now move(not copy) that folder back into the "Sid Meier's Civilization 4\" folder, you should now have a Warlords folder and a Warlords200 folder.
5. Now you can feel free to patch via the WL's lobby or D/L from a fan sight. Unfortunately the Firaxis installers will only patch the WL's version that was originally installed, and it has no option to change folders. Which means that it will patch the orginal Warlords folder to 208.
6. Now you can create a shortcut to the exe in the Warlords200 folder to your desktop and after renaming it warlords200 you will now have a shortcut to 200 and the original 'Launch Civ4 Warlords" shortcut will launch ver 208, you can rename that shortcut Warlords208 if you like as well.
Now your off to the races, just becareful never to enter the MP lobby with ver200 or it will want to autopatch, just use 200 for your PBEM or DirectIP MP games.
Cheers CS
For those that patched without doing this, you are gunna have to back up.
Reinstall the original Warlords. Then follow CS's instructions. I need to know when we are all ready to go again.

Nobody replied to my last post; but the time is here. I'm told the patch is available using the in-game update function.
Are we gunna all patch-up for this game or continue with the game version we have?

Are we all gunna run this with the patch that is imminent?
There are balance issues:
Expansive gets +50% production for workers, and just +2 health Organized gets cheap Factories Creative gets cheap Libraries
If we all patch, players with these traits will morph.
We could just keep running with 1.63 but that may be an inconvenience for players in real-time MP.

I never payed any attention to the Benchmarks. I'm ok with whatever the consensus is.

I am involved in a Warlords PitBoss epic hosted by ColonelTrieze. It's running quite well and I am now convinced that PitBoss is stable. PitBoss combines the best of an EPBM and a real-time MP game. It eliminates the suspision of the reload cheat by capturing each unit move on the server at the instant it is made. (Too bad the ISDG was launched before this feature was available) It can be played EPBM style with a preset turn time limit or in real time if all of the players are availble for a real time session.
I am proposing the following play format:
24 hour limit for one turn per day for each player, and A 3-4 hour time commitment for real time play on weekends.
This means that you will commit to playing one turn any time of every day and for the weekend session at a time mutally agreed upon.
I would like to run this with 6 or 8 dedicated players. If I only get 4, I might consider running 4 players each having 2 civ's.
We can discuss settings, the settings in Trieze's game seem to be working pretty well.
Post here if interested.

Maybe you should limit the field to players with 1GB RAM for 8 on a large map.
