GMR 18 (No more new GMR!)

[Closet_Skeleton]

Wonders of the Ancient World might be enabled?

[Illven]

Can not load save because "Required DLC is not available".


...just, what? Everyone is using the base game (or expansion) civs, and I have both expansions.

I is confuse.

The only thing I can think of is I didn't click the DLC off when I started the game? But DLC was still disabled by GMR?

Try a revert re submit maybe?

[Closet_Skeleton]

If the save is tagged as requiring a DLC then it requires a DLC even if nobody in the game has those civs.

[thirsting]

So apparently options are

a) restart and make sure DLCs are off (other than expansions obviously)

b) I could drop out, so people don't have to abandon the starting spots they already got (I'd be able to live with this, really! But then you have AI player from turn 1.. )

c) I somehow obtain Ancient Wonders, if that one missing really is the root of this problem (which isn't happening, with no gold money)


Edit: And sorry. Feels like I'm always the one causing trouble in these games, unintentionally. Argh.

Reverting tried anyway, by the way. Did nothing

[Illven]

Well do you have bablyon? Raging Krrit wanted to play as that civ anyway.

I'd much rather restart, so that we can kill two birds with one stone.

[thirsting]

Yes, got Babylon, luckily.

[The_Snark]

Don't mind restarting.

See this... This is wooded deer, a hill one tile that I can move too. Plains, with a salt regional luxury. This is the life.....

I miss my old start location. This one is the worst I've ever seen outside of Tundra.

Basically I have to build two wonders (Hanging Gardens and Petra) or I'm screwed.

(Forgot to turn Steam overlay back on, so couldn't take a pic yet. Pressing Print Screen and copy pasting to Paint produced only blackness.)

Well, yay. Not sure if this is any better than the freezing cold tundra of our previous home.

This new land is.... swampy. There's not much to feed our people with, nothing to build our new homes and cities with. Hmm, unless we find a way to use this hard marble stone, somehow. But that will take time, for sure.

At least there is a river here. Maybe we can drain these highland swamps into it, make some fertile land for farming. But again, that will take a long, long while.

[Closet_Skeleton]

At thirsting: I meant the one from the New GMR game, I didn't even get to see the one from the game you made us restart so for all I know it could have been even worse.

Spoiler: Spectators - Starting spot

Show

( Right. Really bad spot for early production, meaning everything I build will come out slooowwwly. Have to research Animal Husbandry right away and hope there's a horse or two withing the city's radius. There's cocoa and marble, but they do pretty much nothing for the first ~50 turns. All the jungle will be sweet for science production in the later game, but that's a long way away.

Second most important thing is to find lots of new friends, and then exploit the heck out of them as soon as possible. Because that's what friends are for. :p

Social policy -wise thinking of going Freedom. Usually Tradition is easy autopick for me, but I think I really need another city fast, and Freedom is the fastest way to do it in this situation, especially if I get lucky and can grab couple culture boosts from ruins.

One great thing, pretty much the only great thing about this starting spot is that sea access is pretty much guaranteed. New world awaits! And waits... and waits.. )

"I know I left that intern somewhere, now where is he? I must say, moving is great and all, but you always seem to lose something when you do it...
"Ah, there you are. Let history know that we accomplished a mighty move. Rio De Janerio was successfully moved, though we don't have as much of a beautiful jungle surrounding us this time.


"However, this time we discovered a nearby mountain. And it is an especially unique mountain. We will certainly be looking for some fine folks who will volunteer to move here."

[thirsting]

Website claims it's still Babylon's turn (who is on vacation still), app says it's India.

Normal vacation mode behavior or is it borked now..?

Edit: vvv ... ^_^ worries unfounded

[The_Snark]

Normal vacation mode, it lets me download and play as usual.

[Closet_Skeleton]

This has stalled for some reason?

[Illven]

This has stalled for some reason?

I had to tell RagingKrikkit it was his turn, and I waited because it was the holidays.

[Zevox]

So, a heads up: starting this Saturday, and going for a bit over a week (until Monday the 16th), I'll be on a vacation with no internet access whatsoever. I would appreciate it if the turn timer were turned off for that, but if the group doesn't want to put the game on hold for that long just for me, I understand and will just have to hope the AI doesn't do anything too stupid while I'm gone.

The tribes greet you on behalf of the druids, the chiefs, and the gods, neighbors. Would you care to share anything about the lands to the north?

In exchange, we can let you know that west of here is our settlement of Edinburgh, and south of that is another settlement where they speak to the gods in strange tongues.

Also I don't think we have a turn timer on this one.

[Illven]

I will respond to your Ingame post at my turn.

I was going to add a 24 hour turn timer tonight, and then disable it saturday.

To the north lies a great desert. After a long time among the shifting sands you may find the fertile plains of our homeland. Where do you hail and what is the land like to the west?

Greetings from the west. We are pleased to meet you.

Okay turn timer up. It will be disabled friday.

Aside from the plains where we stand, we've seen a band of jungle and some grasslands sparsely inhabited by cattle. The trees are nice enough we suppose, but the druids insist that drier forests are more favored by the gods. We might be looking to build another settlement in this river valley for exactly that reason.

Greetings, friend. Our scouts recently sent me a missive declaring that our two peoples have met. In the spirit of friendship and for posterity, allow me to send you our warmest greetings. We suggest your scouts travel southeast, as there is a glorious mountain that would certainly be a benefit for your people to visit.

[Nerd-o-rama]

Ahaha of course I forget to take my turn the same night we turn on the timer. Hopefully I can get on ASAP after I get home from work.

We thank you, neighbor. We have not seen it yet but this is a beautiful city you have here, surrounded though it is by godless jungle.

This is not an insult, there are just literally more gods in hardwood forests. It is a proven fact.

[Illven]

I turned off the turn timer.

Greetings from the world of the Polish, how do you find yourselves this day?

I am back and good to go! If nobody else needs the timer off, it can be reinstated.

[Illven]

I have a turn timer set to 2 days, once it is no longer Babylon's turn I'll change it to one.
