Civilization 5: Giant Multiplayer in the Playground II

[Driderman]

Okay, so do we have to do anything, or just continue playing?

Well if we manage to do a full round of all 10 players, I'd guess that we're in the clear, so for now we just now to take our turns

[Dhavaer]

I'm still getting the 'Required DLC is not available' error. It's also saying the game was started by someone playing Austria and there's been 33.5 million turns. I think something's gone wrong again.

Maybe you are in the wrong game?

[Dhavaer]

Maybe you are in the wrong game?

I don't think so. I can see you (Arabia), Sartain/Driderman (America), Studuko (Germany), etc in the list of players, and it's called GITP 2. The save is titled (GMR) Play this one!.Civ5Save.

[Silverraptor]

*Shrug* I don't know.

[Driderman]

All I can really say that I'm doing this like they're supposed to be done so I'm pretty sure the problem is on your end. Did you watch the video tutorial on how to use GMR?

[Dhavaer]

I did (I hadn't before, I couldn't find it, but I have now) and it's not working. Best of luck, guys.

[Silverraptor]

So, it seems one of us can not connect. Shame.

[Mx.Silver]

I'm getting the same problem as Dhavaer. For the record, the only DLC I don't own are the two most recent Map Packs (the 'scrambled' ones). So either those influence 'Hemispheres' in some way or there's something else going on.

[Driderman]

Honestly, I have no idea if Hemispheres is part of any particular DLC. It most likely is.
I'm thinking the solution will be to run another map type that we're sure everyone has access to, which means something like Continents, Large Islands or a Terra-type map are probably the best candidates. And considering the GMR-page for the game is screwed up regarding player Civs it might be better if we create a new game completely. Currently working on a project, but I'll set up a new once I get home, and people will have to join that instead of the current one.

If it is it's one I already own, since I can play hemisphere maps fine in single player. Nothing I've read about the map packs I don't own mentions altering it either.

Yeah, it's kind of looking that way (honestly I still suspect the civ screw-up is related to this somehow).

[Dhavaer]

Hemispheres is from G&K, I think. It shouldn't be the problem.

[Silverraptor]

But starting over might be worthwhile to do.

[Driderman]

Looks like Hemispheres is indeed from G&K, in which case I imagine setting up a new game should solve our problems.

Can everyone involved sign off on having all of the following DLC?

Mongolia
Spain & Inca
Polynesia
Denmark
Korea
Ancient Wonders
Babylon

Yup, I have all those.

[druid91]

Nope. I've got Mongolia, G&K, and BNW.

That's it. :P

[Driderman]

That's it. :P

Well you just made lowest common denominator so far, then
I guess we'll just go for a no-DLC game then, disabling Mongolia is no major loss and then I don't have to wait for people's replies before setting up the game.

I'm kind of curious how that'll play out, considering that the Statue of Zeus (a DLC wonder) is one of the policy locked wonders in BNW.

That's it. :P

And yet you didn't consider mentioning this when it became clear that at least one of those DLC civs you didn't have was in the game.

Statue of Zeus is available in BNW the way Spain is available in Gods and Kings.

I didn't know. I'm a civ noob.

[Driderman]

Alright, I set up a new game and added 10 new links to the spoiler box in the OP. Let's see if we can get this show on the road, please leave the GITP 2 game and join this one, Giant in the Playground 2, instead.

[Silverraptor]

Alright, I'm in. Now to wait for everyone else.

[Qwertystop]

I've got no DLC except Mongolia. Also I apparently forgot to subscribe to this thread and got really confused when people started dropping.

[Silverraptor]

Alright, so 6 of us are signed up. We need 4 more. Lets get this started people.

[Dhavaer]

I've signed up.

[Silverraptor]

7 people are registered. We still need 3 more. Who are we missing?

[druid91]

joined again.

[Mx.Silver]

Who are we missing?

Somebloke and Studoku, assuming they're still interested.

[Driderman]

I'm of a mind to start the game with the current players since neither Studoku or Somebloke have commented at all since we set up the new game.

Fair enough, unless someone else wants to try sniping their spots.
