LT14 team

Okay, I'm going to start up a team for LT14. This does not neccesarily mean that I will be the captain, but I'd just like to organize it.

I'm looking for a group of players who are willing to work as a team. Anyone interested should either post the following info either here, or email it to me.

E-mail:
Freeciv experience:
Longturn experience:

Experience is just for others on the team to know how experienced you are, mostly it will be used to choose the captain. No specific level of experience is required, just an email address that will be checked regularly, and the willingness to listen and give input to the rest of the team.

Here's my info as an example:

E-mail: michael.tatlock@sympatico.ca
Freeciv experience: About a year of single player (never played outside of longturn)
Longturn experience: LTXIII from the beginning, LT13 as a sub early on, and LTex21

If you have any questions, include them here or in ther email.

rejected

Proposition rejected :). How can I know how many polls will fly in the air? If there will be no polls, game will start even earlier.

But if there will be more and more polls, or players will sign up/sign out, then it can be longer.

Players should send their

Players should send their polls at least 7 days before the start.

maho's picture

re: players should send their

this condition always meet, because game starts after 2 weeks of last poll start/players list change.

Or, sometimes I do game freezing, and all new polls are rejected because game is going to start.

I propose to set up a fixed

I propose to set up a fixed game start. maybe 1st October or so

Not that I really care - what about no new polls after 17th Sept (this is 2 weeks before 1st October).

2.0 version ?

Beurk...

I must be getting old -I can't bear these tiny tiles anymore ;)

Have a nice play !

Okay.

Okay. So far this team consists of myself, det0r and ninecivfans. We're still looking for up to 3 others who are willing to be active and work well as a team. Please either post here or email me. I'm not fussy about skill or experience, just willingness to work as a team.

There is no warclient for 2.1. The standard client is nice to look but useless for a real game. I guess it's the reason.

Cool

Sounds like that this could become a good bunch of ppl to play with :)
I definitely believe that "willingness to work as a team" is most important.
Fair few ppl are pretty stubborn and unwilling to change their style of play for the good of the team - I find that quite frustrating.
If I joint your team, I will come up with a 'best strategy' proposal for this particular game - I'll be happy to discuss/explain it and consider your feedback or proposals; but ultimately we have to agree on a coherent strategy as a team.
I'm willing to follow other strategy than mine if majority of players believe in it - and I expect the same from all team members.

Sounds like a deal? ;)

E-mail: stepan dot hilbert at at gmail dot com
Freeciv experience:
Shortturn 1.14 - I played it a lot and few times got very lucky and had beaten #1 players
shortturn now - I play occasionally + my ping is crap - I can't keep up with the best, I'm too slow in later stages and with warclient stuff
Longturn experience:
longturn - played 3 (as Evaghey), 4, 5, 11, XIII and now 13 (all under nick ste)
LT3 - not sure what happened to this game - I found a 960AD screenshot on which I'm 1st in population and production... ;)
LT4 - lost to... don't remember anymore
LT5 - I was winning before a Freeciv glitch (some buffer overflow) prevented me from logging in ;(
LT11 - we lost to Pablo's team after their brilliant spaceship victory (I had bad placement)
LTXIII - got eliminated early by Vonzgred's team (no excuses :)
LT13 - very lucky with placement and neighbours... and currently leading the chart ;)

sorry - this ended up whhhay to long ;)

No, it isn't the reason.

No, it isn't the reason. LT13,LT14,LT15 is 2.0 - based line of game, LTXIII, LTXIV, LTXV is 2.1-based line of game.

Sounds great

Sounds great. I agree that coming up with a mutual plan is neccessary. So that's 4 of us (canuck101, det0r, ninecivfans and ste). Two more spots are available. As long as you're willing to work as a team and be active, then its first come, first serve.

There is no warclient for 2.1
If so, I have been hallucinating for a month now, because I am using a warclient for 2.1.3+ in LTXIII.

Could you release your warclient? I've asked many developers of warclient, and they don't have any...

If it will really work, you can make page with attached file, I would create download section then....

Warclient 2.1.3+

Ok, I only have a modem connection for now, and I am not going to upload a 30Mb file with it. All I did was to download this;

http://www.2shared.com/file/33...

and then compiled normally. I think it bumped once or twice on small errors (like missing #endif or something), I adjusted it an moved on.

If something is wrong, I still have the original tar, so I could upload it in the weekend when I have a faster connection.

Next week, by Wednesday, I will be back to modem connection.

BTW, this is a very fine program, there are some strange reports sometimes on the research tab but I think that is because of the teams setting (like in LT9).

I also have a compiled version of this client for Suse 11 (it may work on other systems) I can give you a link to that if you desire that
The 2.1 warclient has some problems when calculating trade routes for a large ammount of citys, so that may not work well for you.

book is busy working on the 2.2 map editor, and pepeto is too busy with Real life to work on such a project.

warclient

warclient 2.1 exists
I recommend using isotrident tileset over the 2.1 default one, as with the 2.1 warclient the tileset is slow, however if you want to use 2.1.6 w/o warclient, the 2.1 default tileset works great with it.

I have no confirmation from Bluemoth, and post from Kernow doesn't look like confirmatione either. Will Blue confirm or team will be without him?

vonzgred's picture

hm...

"i'm in" looks definitely like a confirmation to me, as for Kernow.
I'll mail Bluemoth about neccessity of puting a post in this topic.

sorry, I didn't read second line. It looked like a signature, which is often automatically filtered out by my in-brain filters :D.

Haken LT-Playing Style Team [LT14]

I hope i'm right here now.

want to create or join a team but only to players, who know and like my style of playing longturn, and support this style.

a real Barbarian Team ;) LOL

hehe, this will be very

hehe, this will be very small game :-)

Start???

It seems there are 3 teams floating around. Team KIVI is all confirmed. Team Darkside is half confirmed. Team TopGun have not officially formed a team on the correct page or individually confirmed participation.

Can we get these teams confirmed (and any additional people who want to make a team - eg. Paff, Canuck101 and others) so that we can start the game. Other games (LTxiii, LT13) are advanced (if not about to finish relatively soon).

Next someone announce team in comment below this page, and remaining team-mates confirm their consent in that comment's reply.

Which words in "below this page" and "in that comment's reply" can't you understand? :)

LTXIV

- "Other games (LTxiii, LT13) are advanced (if not about to finish relatively soon)."

I'm waiting for some signs of ffa LTXIV. Is ltxiii perhaps moving toward a conclusion? I look forward to getting back into the community.

Actually same as Paff and canuck101 I look for a team for LT14 (even if I strongly feel the Empire will win). I assume it is better to post here since nobody responded to their posts.

Yes. But that may be a few weeks away.

I'm waiting for some signs of ffa LTXIV.
OK I will start a thread to discuss LTXIV.

Remember this is longturn. Discussion, sign-up and votings may take many months.

Hi all. We have full signup

Hi all. We have full signup list. It's time to not waste time and start the game soon. - My last game LT13 crashed due to long long pre-start phase.

Maho, please determine the start. - determine the deadlines to sign up teams. The quality of the game is in your hands. It costed me much much effort to invite so much shortturn players. Please, do not frustrate them.

Notice, I have some other shortturn players able to play if some players will be not able to create teams.

maho's picture

you're right

Ok, you're right.

I will specify deadline soon, will announce it on the main site.

Folks, please form teams. If there will be no teams formed until deadline (I think about 2 weeks), I will put unteamed players into 1-size teams (hopeless situation in team game), or start FFA game, depending on my mood in time of game start.

Note, that only one team is confirmed so far. Janq - I hope you know that your team can't be treated officially, as haven't been announced nor confirmed yet?

(btw: my team doesn't exists offically yet either, what a shame :( ).

I will put unteamed players

I will put unteamed players into 1-size teams (hopeless situation in team game)

A better case would be to throw all the unteamed players into 1 team... at least they can pool science and fight amoungst themselves ;-)

It looks like there will be at least 4 self formed teams, so enough for a good rumble.

Yeah

Depending on how many are left, they should be split evenly into 2 or 3 teams.

Maho, the 2 weeks already flowed up and u did nothing. The pre-game phase is going to be too long. Hate that. The first subscribe has been done 2 months ago.

I strongly recommend to fix up the start of the game, as soon as possible.

Canuck - please post a list of team members on the main LT14 game page and get them each to confirm.

Once they are confirmed maho will add them to the official list of teams.

No place left :(

Oops. I just realized that you meant there was no room left to subscribe to the game. If you're interested in playing just joing the waiting list (there's no topic yet, just post in the main discussion of lt14 I guess). You'll get a spot taking over for an idler as soon as the first turn is over.

As Reiter told me that that

As Reiter told me that that team "Something" no longer exists, so I removed it from teams list (and comment announcing it too).

So, we have still only one team in game. Very funny .... :)

I would like to join, if there's a spot open.

Email: jonathan.davis@mail.swu.edu

Freeciv exp: Some, but Civ I - IV have sucked more hours out of my life than I would like to admit! ;)

LT exp: This would be my first LT game, but not my first once-per-day game, if that makes any sense.

Thanks in advance!

If we are aloud to add

If we are aloud to add players to a team, then you are both accepted. Please confirm here ASAP.

And, check your emails.
