[SPOILERS] Xenu Turns (over) the Tables (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻

Virtually every network device will accept the IPv4 address 127.0.0.1 as an internal loopback interface. Helpfully, many (most?) operating systems also include a hosts file reference pointing 127.0.0.1 to the name localhost. So you could try logging into the pitboss server at 127.0.0.1 or localhost and it should work, as long as everything else is set up correctly.

I can't imagine you'd have a firewall issue connecting the game client to the pitboss server on the same machine, but if for some reason it isn't working that would be my next guess.

Awesome - I'll let you know when I win.

[spacetyrantxenu]

If it isn't before 50-70 turns then I win my culture victory first!

[Boldly Going Nowhere]

I don't think anyone is landing a space ship within that time. Tech costs are pretty massive later in the tech tree.

I'll just make sure I take his capital before t220.

I'll just make sure I take his capital before t220.

Yeah unfortunately this is the answer. Or not the capital, pick another city and it works the same. 2mn's old capital would be the most exposed of the three primary culture cities. My empire shape had too many border cities, holding any of the culture candidates other than the capital could have been challenging against a prepared late game invader.
