MP Game - Newbie Game (by JDScherrey)

[Klatu]

Well Norfleet is currently hosting our game right now and really don't want to bother him about hosting another. I on the hand have my computer on 24hours and would have no problem with hosting a server for us to run our second game(and then I can come up with the wildly sarcastic name lol).

Aku, Drool, Pickles(maybe), new guy Alexi, anyone else so far? We would need to decide on a map and game settings.

Post your responses on the thread please.

Okay, cool. Have you tried hosting before? If you have a firewall or router, it may need to be tweaked to open up a port and whatnot. Depending on the firewall, this may take minutes, or it may take hours - might want to do a trial run and have someone try to connect.

If you've already gone through this before, I'll shut up but it can be frustrating, especially after you've already announced the start of the game.

[Klatu]

yes I have hosted before.

[Aku]

yeah we have tested it with me connecting to klatu before

for game settings...norfleet recommended when we started our current game to play karan...you guys want to give it a try

if we play karan there were 3 files...do we dl them all?

also for events they happen like every turn on common but on rare they still happen a lot but it isnt bad...so i recommend the 2nd game for events to be on rare

also for magic sites...how about at least 50 this time?

indep strength i guess 6 or 9 i dunno, 7 indep like we have now just seemed odd

world richness...either normal or rich...no clue on that one

put hof on 15 and renaming allowed

these are just suggestions to get the ball rolling

for my nation i would like to try out abysia if tannath isnt using them again

Maybe you should start another thread for this other game of yours. Otherwise it gets kinda hard for me to sort out when somebody is referring to the game I'm hosting, or the game you're hosting.

[Aku]

ok ill start up the 2nd thread...so guys post in the other thread the suggestions for the 2nd game...ill label it MP Game - Newbie Game (by Aku)

I cant check the game right now but if you guys are waiting for me and klatu to do our turns we will be home within the hour to do them. I hope it quickhosted so we can do a new turn lol.
