Civilization 4 PBEM Game Support etc.
Posted: Thu Jan 05, 2006 8:51 am
Now that the game has started and the turns should be starting to circulate I figured it might be an idea to supply a wee bit of info for those who might get stuck.
I’ve set the game up using email aliases civ4-pbem-1 thru civ4-pbem-7 accounts for darkkeep.org so we can hide our identities if we have well known email address, naturally you’ll need to reflect this email client when sending the mail, so it may be worth updating you client so u have an account with the altered email address as the return address.
The mails are chained as follows:
civ4-pbem-1 -> civ4-pbem-2 -> civ4-pbem-3 -> civ4-pbem-4 -> civ4-pbem-5 -> civ4-pbem-6 -> civ4-pbem-7 -> civ4-pbem-1
You can figure out where u are in the chain by looking at the to field in the mail you will recieve.
For those of you who wish to use the built in SMTP server you can enable it by entering your SMTP host name (pressing ctrl-d in the game will bring it up).
As for discussion I would suggest you register your leader name once you get it (it’s random) and use that on these forums.
Stick any questions u might have in this thread.
