This is the IT and Tech Issues Thread for RBP10. The planning thread can be found here.
The game is now live. If this is your first time connecting please read this entire post carefully. Text in Red will be of interest to veterans.
Access the game via DirectIP connection to sunrise089.dyndns.org:2062. No password is needed (nor will one permit a successful connection) when connecting to the game. Make 100% sure there are no spaces in the field or you'll get an error. Spaces love to crop up unexpectedly, so please double-check this before posting that you can't connect.
The first time a player logs into the game they will be asked to set and confirm a password. This is non-trivial to change, so please make sure you know what it is, can remember it, etc.
In-game you can play as normal. This game is played via sequential turns. Under simultaneous turns and possible sequential (YMMV) you can queue unit actions and builds like normal, even after you end turn. I get asked sometimes, so I'll note you press TAB to chat in-game. When you're done playing please log out via Exit to Main Menu, not Exit to Desktop (it creates connectivity/lag issues).
I have set a 24 hour timer per team for the first turn. Starting next turn the timer to approximate 24 real life hours based on how fast things are moving in game. Of course in the future the timer can be tweaked according to the wishes of the players.
This game uses Civstats to track the turns and other info. This game is here. If you want to register via Civstats and claim your civ the password for each civ is "sirian."
From now on, please let me know if you have any technical concerns in this thread. I can be reached infrequently via forum PM, and easily via email at sunrise089 at gmail dot com and IM at sunrise089 on either AIM or GChat.
Game Rules:
Always War
Immortal
Quick
No barbs
Lakes-like map. (Maybe with some islands?)
No circumnav available
Cylindrical wrap
Natural landforms
No mirroring, but fair
Snake pick
See starts before pick
Your two leaders may share a trait
Given turn order 1234, snake pick order is: 4321123443211234
Banned civs/leaders: India, Inca, Willem, Pacal
All players start with scout + settler only
24h timer
No "New random seed on reload"
RULES YOU MUST FOLLOW
(No banned wonders)
Banned Other: War Elephants, Spy missions, and Nukes
Can't gift cities after their first turn of founding or capture*
Can't accept or cancel trades if one partner has ended turn and the other hasn't
(No ban on giving GPT)
Can't be giving net GPT to partner while striking
General policy is no reloads
* Cities can only be gifted on the turn you found or capture them, before ending turn. Additionally they must be gifted before taking any actions that would not be possible, or have different outcomes, if you had gifted the city already. Examples of such actions:
- Drafting a just-recaptured city.
- Starting a golden age having just captured the MoM city.
- Building an improvement in the second-ring borders of a just-recaptured city. (If you were the original owner, cultural borders can pop immediately for you, but after you gift it the culture will be reset so you couldn't build the improvement.)
