Civilization IV Beyond the Sword mp game

[MetalDog]

Mentioned in this weeks Friday thread that me and Tuna and my buddy in Cali got a Civ IV mp game going.  Got replies in thread from jamus34 and Barthheart about interest in joining a game.

Now, all of you know my absolute love for this game and my semi-regular attempts to mp SOMETHING with this bunch, so, I am going to attempt this again.

The way I see it, we need to decide some basic things first.  Who's in?  What day and time?  How long will play sessions be?  I see those being the most important things to decide before we begin.  Once we have that, we can decide the other stuff specific to the game.  Map size and type?  Victory Conditions?  How many AI (if we can't get enough dedicated human players)?  And so on.

If you want to participate, please jump in and say so.  And let's get to planning!!

I'm typically around 8-10 EST most nights but will not be around much during the holidays.

Weekday might work out better in case of "social agendas".

As far as game setup I'm ok with whatever, just need to know if there are any house rules that should be upheld.

Is BtS the only expansion that you guys use?

[MetalDog]

Yes on BtS.  It's got all the bells and whistles.  I was looking more towards weekend mornings.  Although, night time during the week could work, too.  Which brings up the question, what time zone is everyone in?  I'm CST.

[Barthheart]

I don't currently have CiV IV on Steam. So it will take a pretty good sale to get me in as I already own it all on CD.

Carry on and don't wait fer me. I'll send up a flare if I pick it up.

[MetalDog]

It won't be the same without you.  Thanks for letting us know though.

It will probably be 7.49 in the next Steam sale for complete. I was in the Thanksgiving one.

What's your excuse now, Barthheart?  ;)

[Freyland]

 :'( And there was great sadness in Freylandia.  I would love to get some civ iv mp action, but my availability is inconsistent and any give night I could get called into the hospital.

[MetalDog]

Are you on Steam?  I don't have you on my friends list, but you can certainly add me.  Whenever you see me online, ping me.  It's likely I'm just killing time anyways ;)

Thank you, GR.  Sounding more and more like you just don't want to lose, Barthheart... ;)
