anyone still come here

hmmm not much activity here in multiplaying, does that mean civ 3 is not good for mp?? i just got given the ptw expansion pack and was hoping to find a hive of activity and games. but alas no such luck

Louisr2001 · July 25, 2003, 23:46

Docker,I am in the same situation,how about one on one?

not after the PtW fiasco

asleepathewheel · August 1, 2003, 03:45

try the pbem forum, if that's your cup. much more popular than the simul mode and turnless, would seem. Especially after what those modes were like at release and the nature of civ, not a suprise.

what fiasco???

Franses · August 15, 2003, 11:40

Some of us still do have a great time playing multiplayer. I am one of them and play it weekly at the least (one to one btw). But I do agree it is hard to find opponents. Especially during summertime. I myself just returned from holiday and am quite busy the coming month with the games that I still have running. But Docker, why don't you accept the invitation of Louisr and find out for yourself?

Docker · August 16, 2003, 12:23

i never enjoyed civ 2 one on ones, much prefered multi players 4-7 was good . so i dont think i would enjoy a one on one in civ 3. my greatest enjoyment from civ always came from the interaction , not necessarily in winnning

Johann Moritz · August 25, 2003, 18:20

I also have just got given PtW and I´d love to start a new game. I don´t mind one on one or whatever, I just wanna see how it works.

Louisr2001 · August 26, 2003, 09:31

Kaiser,I also just got the game PTW,about 2 months ago, I am up for a one on one just for the experience,and to see how it works, what say you?

Johann Moritz · August 27, 2003, 20:28

It´s perfect for me. In fact I think I´ll prefer one on one to Pbem, which looks kinda slow to me.

Louisr2001 · August 28, 2003, 18:36

What civilization do you prefer? And wht style of play? I can spare about an hour per day after Sep. 1

Johann Moritz · August 31, 2003, 19:43

Sorry for being so late. I spent the weekend out.
I´d prefer Germans. Style of play... I don´t mind, as I haven´t played before and I´m open to anything.
About time... What´s your time? You should do like me: Go to control panel up there, then click Edit Options and choose your time set (mine is GMT+1). This way we´ll know what time is best to play

Paddy · September 1, 2003, 08:42

sounds good.

I would like to play that

Louisr2001 · September 2, 2003, 09:20

No problem. I think turnless might work,then maybe the time is irrevelant,I prefer Romans.I am going to read directions on turnless and get back to you.

Louisr2001 · September 2, 2003, 12:58

Paddy,you would be most welcome if it's o.k. with the Kaiser.

Johann Moritz · September 2, 2003, 20:41

Of course I have no problem!

¿When are we beginning?

Louisr2001 · September 2, 2003, 23:32

I am just going to start it up,I don't think time matters,once I figure it out I will contact you and relay to you whatever info you need to start.

Louisr2001 · September 2, 2003, 23:53

Kaiser,I think you and Paddy need to be online when I start the game,we will use the name of this thread as the password,if both of you could give me a time(GMT) when you could be online I will try to be there also and start a password protected game. What say both of you?

Johann Moritz · September 3, 2003, 06:50

I can play anytime between 11:00 and 21:00, and very specially between 23:00 and 2:00 GMT. I´m very adaptable, you see

Louisr2001 · September 7, 2003, 00:51

Sorry about my delay,car troubles!!!!!!! Also still waiting on Paddy,you are very flexible and 2300 GMT is also good for me,and if Paddy can be online at 2400 on 03-14 I will launch our turnless game,if He isn't I will still do so,it will be password protected with "anyone can come here" all in lowercase,o/k/ with you?

Paddy · September 8, 2003, 10:21

bugger look what I have been missing out on...

I am here now.....

hope I catch the right bus next time

Wittlich · September 8, 2003, 12:19

I come here when ever I see a new post...but there really hasn't been anything new for some time.

Tehut · September 9, 2003, 00:01

I know what you guys mean i got CIV3 a few months ago and still haven't used the multiplayer on it. We used to have a lot of fun with multi at my work on Age of Empires. SO yeah i'd love to multi w/ anyone anytime.

Johann Moritz · September 10, 2003, 08:37

Louisr2001, shouldn't the password be "anyone still come here"? Or did you change it intentionally?

"if Paddy can be online at 2400 on 03-14"... Just curious: what do you mean with 03-14?

MotownDennis · September 10, 2003, 11:50

If you guys are having trouble finding MP games, why don't you check out the Civ3Players Ladder? It's at www.myleague.com/civ3players.

If you are a good player, you'll find top-notch competition here. If you are a newb, you'll find nice, helpful people who are happy to answer questions and give tips.

I rarely play SP since I discovered the Ladder. Check it out!

Louisr2001 · September 10, 2003, 22:24

Sorry,my fingers were working faster than my brain,you have stated the correct name of this thread and what will be the password for our game,I am willing to try as many people want to play brand newbies,see how that works,and if it keeps crashing restart new games with us splitting into smaller groups,I meant to start on 9-14, which I believe is Saturday, at 1900 GMT which I believe is 1100 my time,anybody interested is welcome and Kaiser has what will be the password,unless we want to change it to something more simple,everybody responding please state or restate the civ you would like to play, we are just playing to try this out,and it seems to me we have a great mix of people and countries and I am very excited about playing all of you.

Louisr2001 · September 13, 2003, 13:58

I really goofed on times and things,how about 1900GMT on 9-21 we all be on line and I will launch the game,I believe you all need to be online via PTW,comments please?

Johann Moritz · September 15, 2003, 13:32

1900 GMT next Sunday... I'll be there

Johann Moritz · September 20, 2003, 07:11

No, I'm afraid I won't be there

I assume someone still reads this thread? If so, Louisr2001, how about same time today or Wednesday?
