Looking for SE IV players.....

[JurijD]

Hi, a friend of mine any myself are looking for about 2, 3 or more SE IV players to start a Multiplayer simultaneous game. We're moderate SE IV players... nothing too fanatic, we play for fun... If anyone is interested please REPLY and e-mail me. (We're really looking forward to playing against other people, so far we only played against each other and the AI ... if u wanna call it that

Some questions people will probably ask:
1) Have you created a forum for the game on PBW yet, and what is the name of this game?
2) What Version of SE4 are you using (Gold patch 3?)
3) Are you using any mods?
4) What are the settings for this game.
5) What is the turn timelimit?

nice that u told me about the pbw system... the links on the SE Iv page are so confusing.... they really tried hard to hide it I'll look into it.... just one question... the PBW manual says it only supports Versions up to 1.78 ... but I downloaded the 1.84.. is the PBW faq outdated or do I need to downgrade my SE IV

The FAQ must be outdated. It will supporst 1.84 and any mod out there. If it doesn't support the mod then ask Geo and he can change that.

I'm sure you thought of this but you might want to be careful with that victory condition. With that set as it is the game could end as early as turn 4.0 (40 turns) of the game start unless there is some early fighting. If all empires are spaced just right it could be 10 turns or so before you meet in the game, and then alot of people start off peaceful so as to build up their empire and economy. So an early end to this game could come about rather easily.

Just something I thought of. But as I said, I'm sure you're well aware of this already.
