Anyway with the latest version of Civ4 the pitboss has finally been released. It is pretty much a server for PBEM style of play. Basically it lets players log in and take their turn and log off. Once everyone has made their turn the next one begins. If everyone is on it plays pretty much like a standard multiplayer game and if they aren't people can freely log in and out to take their turns at a slower pace if people are busy.

So I'm wanting to try a game with the pitboss and am wonder who would like to join. I'll be setting the turn timer to 24 hours so we'll atleast progress one turn a day though if people are more active it will go as fast as people play their turns. Also it seems I have to set the civilizations when setting up the game in the pitboss so if you want to play a particular civilization and leader you'll need to tell me before hand. Comment if you want to join in :).
I've been waiting for this for months! I'd be happy to try a game.

I've only played a few basic games of Civ4 so you are probably guaranteed to win, but what the heck.

I will also note this is the multiplayer model I always thought Civ should have, and is what inspired a whole lot of never-released work to support something similar (that you had a hand in at one point!)

Erm, make me the Chinese, for no good reason.

Now to get this patch working...

Actually I see that you can set the Civ to Random, so just do that for me, since I don't have an opinion yet...
Tap tap tap...

(Oh if you emailed me about this, need to put BYOND in the subject so it doesn't get filtered...)
