I see no way of setting anything else. Not that I could set my civ or leader.

Ruff_Hi Wrote:I've added RB_PBEM_2 to the pbem tracking system. Players should join the game and enter their civ details. Don't worry about the turn order - I need all 6 players entered before I can properly update it.

Well I hope that T-Hawk gets the name exactly right, otherwise we'll just have to orphan another game on the tracker like we did last time.... tongue

Oh, and I note you didn't password protect the game on the tracker ... I take it you've never had some random person wander up and register themselves into a closed game before? Fortunately the admins can bump a player for you, but I prefer not to take chances. wink

Basically it handles the transfer of the game files between players, and by providing a visual tracking of who's turn it is negates the perrennial PBEM question of "who has the game?"

All you do is register an e-mail address with it, then when your turn happens go to the site and click on the "upload turn" button (which won't be visible until Ruff kicks off the tracking) and attach the relevant file. It then uploads the file and stores it on the server, as well as sending it to the e-mail of the next player.

One remaining key thing about it is that the "in game" name that is on the site has to match the name that is being used by your civ. Any changes have to be reported to Ruff so that he can alter them in the tracker to correctly send the save on.

So if you wanted to change your leader's name from "FDR" to "Krill", that has to be reported to Ruff.
