Title: BORESQUAD™ NIGHTS® - CIVILIZATION IV (PC) | Friends don't nuke friends.
Post by: Brehvolution on January 04, 2010, 04:50:38 PM
Since we have some new people who just got the game recently, I thought we could post here with regards to availability for multi-player games. I'm new to the MP experience and how saved games and such work. It would be fun to have at least 3 or 4 people play even for an hour.

I'm usually on around 8PM til midnight.

EDIT: Changed your title to make it badass!

Tonight I will likely be playing Battlefield 1943 and Modern Warfare 2, but I'm game the following evening. My brother is also down. I don't think he's touched his Xbox 360 since he bought the Civilization IV pack that went on sale on Steam.

I own this but have never played it.  I would join a game of people don't know how to play either.

Assuming we play tonight, how do the expansions work?  Should I install them all?  Do they integrate into the main game or are they each separate games?

They are separate games, but I am unsure if they require installation of Civ4.

BTS is the only expansion I have installed.

I think you just have to own it and then Steam will download the necessary files on its own.

Do we have a few people for tonight?  I'm down to play if we get a small group.

I'll be on with my brother tomorrow night, I'm too burn out for something as consuming as Civ tonight. I can start some fun tomorrow, though.

Sorry, Bayonetta calls. If I have the retail copy, I can play it online through steam?

my steam nick is bebpo.  Hmmm, yeah I'd rather wait until we can get several people together, so looks like tonight may not be the best night.

Started an marathon massive Ottoman game last night.

Around 520 AD I got stormed by the Mayans and French because I'd neglected to build any significant city defenses :'(

Time for a new game.

I own this but I never got around to playing it for some reason. I lent it to my brother, who spent about the next two months doing nothing else though, so that kinda scared me.

Post by: TEEEPO on January 13, 2010, 03:39:52 PM
ever since buying it during the sale, i've put in around 30 hours already. uff, this is why i stayed away from the game in the first place. i used to just go over to my friend's dorm to play in order to restrain myself from being totally absorbed.

but yeh, i only have the original but i'm down for some multi action.

Fucking annoying when my Artillery and Machine Guns are taken down by some cigarillo with Horse Archers.

Through steam? Maybe. I don't see why not. Anyone know?

In the Steam window, go to games. Click 'Add non Steam game' and see if that works. I wouldn't think that there would be different online lobbies for Steam and the retail version.

There shouldn't be.

I don't remember nukes having such small ranges. Fucking Mayans have built every one of their cities outside nuke range. I transported 5 ships of troops across to take a city just so I could nuke them out of existance and I can't reach them :(

Post by: pilonv1 on January 15, 2010, 07:35:26 PM
I've built all but the Stasis Chamber of my spaceship, but now can't build it because I don't have the Apollo Project. The wonder list has my version of it it in San Diego, which belongs to the USA on a continent I've never been to.

What a waste of a game.
