Tech Thread - EitB XXVI

[Brian Shanahan]

FFH subforum.
Why would you put it in succession games?

Yeah, stupid idea. Chalk it down to me posting 10 minutes before leaving work.

[Molach]

I am willing to take over if that is what you are looking for. Not willing to just do primary turnplay, because knowing me that won't work out. Of course I'd be happy to have you chime in Tasunke, but I'm not willing to basically play a team-game, too much effort and time needed that I don't have.

If thats ok for you guys, I would also like to take the offer - if it is still on the table - to (maybe) change the civ. Simply because I played once with Sheaim and it was horrible... have to check game settings etc., but if you don't want that than I don't need to invest that time

This is fine by me. Including the civ switch, which means another restart. I've only played turn 0 one time, think Whosit will have done it 3-4 times by the time we get things sorted out...

Tasunke made a thread about needing a new team-member - so I can wait a bit to see if someone takes up that offer.

What Civ/leader do you want serdoa?

[Serdoa]

CoE, Jonas (that should be the EXP/SPI one I believe)

[Whosit]

Alright, cool, sounds like this is getting resolved? Serdoa, how badly are you going to whip the rest of us? :P

[Qgqqqqq]

You'll get the game tomorrow then.
Can people work out where serdoa should be in the timezone orders.

[Serdoa]

Timezone should be fine as it is Q (I'm GMT+1, play in the evenings - Ryan was GMT+2, also playing in the evenings).

@Whosit

I have never played EitB and only a few games of FFH2. Won just one multiplayer-game (FFH12) via a ToM-victory. Everything should be fine. Btw: Do you guys play with Barbs on? I read this whole tech-thread but I found not one post putting together all the settings you had decided on.

[Serdoa]

One request to all: Please DELETE all save-games you have for this game. You guys probably have one or two folders in your savegame-directory (called EITBXXVI and EITB26 respectively if I followed the discussion correctly) which you should get rid of before we start this anew. Else we probably run again into savegame-issues with wrong saves being played, saves being overwritten etc.

[Whosit]

I... don't think there was a very clear discussion of settings. I assumed Barbs would be on since that seems like it's kinda part of the whole EitB thing. I mean, I also thought we decided on a "vanilla" game, but it was clear that the map maker added some things in, so I'm not entirely sure what the game was set to.

[Qgqqqqq]

Barbs are on.

The save will be called "EitBPBEMXXVI: Restart03"

I can give a pic of settings if wanted

All Unique Features
Normal barbs
Human takeover for hyborem/basium
.DLL fix enabled

If I'm missing anything let me know (or if its not as you meant it, I've been following a few tech threads so might be mixed up)
