Finally you guys are about to begin [Image: popcorn.gif].

Or...you are just testing the server. What the hell is taking so long? Get the game going already!

I know we've been assuming we'd use EitB v8, but is there any reason we have to? I'd be happier if we just stick with the newest version, it didn't include many balance changes from v8, and it does include at least one substantial bug fix.

Our team would be against switching versions, simply because we've had enough delays for setting up one game and another one is the last thing we want right now.

[strike]I'm happy to update, was just assuming we'd use v8.[/strike] EDIT: just to confirm, this isn't happening.

Potential problems:
1) Troubles with the map and the new version of the game. I don't know enough about map making to judge this though.
2) Balance changes. I haven't read the updated changelog yet, but I'm downloading it now. I was under the impression v9 specifically tweaked leader balance...
3) Unknown bugs.

But really, I guess the biggest issue would be communicating to all players that we're using v9 instead... the delay on this end would be minimal - I'd just change the mod directory before starting the Pitboss instance.

So, you're asking me (or my team) to accept a massive nerf on one of our civs, for a bugfix that only applies to PBEM's?

If I had a funny image macro, it would go here.

So not happening. I realise this sounds a bit harsh, but that change was one of the reasons for our choosing the Sidar in the first place.

I was able to log onto the test game, but this game crashes when I try to connect as Balseraphs. An error box flashes on the screen for about a second, saying something about "Your save folder ... protected ... ". I'm still using "testing" for a game password.

If we want to swap to V9, we would need to repick civs. Not happening. I'm not waiting another week for this to start.

Ehhhh. Great. I got the same problem.

I'll re-host it. I noticed during set up that some settings were not what was agreed on in the original thread, so changed them. This might be the problem.
