Yeah, no restart needed.

Seconded, I have no idea how we played so many PB before having access to him and his tools.


Don't forget to check your techs everyone.

Side question - do you all use Discord with any sort of regularity? In PB70 we used a discord channel as a semi-substitute for minor tech thread issues (pauses/timer extensions), and it was honestly really handy as it's easier to drop a post in there on the go than it is here. No need if you all don't use it, but if you do then it might be handy.

Yep, starting techs look good. I've got the standard India starting techs of Mining, Mysticism, and... Artillery :P.

I have a Discord account but I don't check it regularly. Like, you'd have to remind me here to log in and check it if you want to discuss something there. But that might be better if we have to talk about anything complicated.

Sorry for noob question but how do I join the game once I have the mod loaded?

On the main menu select "Multiplayer" then "Direct IP Connection". If you have the steam version, this option only appears if you have the beta branch installed.

In the resulting menu, fill in your player name and use pb.zulan.net:3073 for the network address. Leave the password blank.

I highly suggest you download the alternative EXE files that Ramk provides, they make it much faster to access games, and you don't block others from signing on to the server.

Link/details to both of these is here on the PB64 page in the Tools section: https://civ.zulan.net/pbspy/game/119/

I would strongly recommend setting up the wrapper and alternative exe. It's pretty easy. I just bounced off you trying to login, and that will fix that problem among other things (like loading into game much faster as the game save gets larger).
