Civ4 bts game?

[Alhazard]

Anyone?

EDIT: Changed thread title because I am actually open to a pitboss game as long as it is BTS.

EDIT: Final settings

1) Settings:
Pangea mapscript, cylindrical wrap, Emperor level, mapsize and other settings at mapmaker's discretion.
No villages, events, vassal states, technology trading.
Normal barbs.

2) Bans:
AP resolutions, blockades, active espionage (espionage is enabled in settings but no spies can be built; no limits on Great Spies), nukes, War Elephants, city and unit gifting (including city transfer as a part of a peace treaty).
No ban on GLH (should not be OP on Pangea), SoZ, Corporations.

3) Rules:
AI Diplo. No communication with other players in respect to in-game events other than offers in trade window. No use of texts, city names, unit names, numbers (specific amounts of gold) to communicate.
Otherwise, please follow etiquette rules as described in this thread: https://www.realmsbeyond.net/forums/show...p?tid=7311

The Mod contains bugfixes + Pitboss releated improvements and can be found here: https://civ.zulan.net/pb/PB_Mod_v8.zip
I can not host vanilla Civ4:BTS games on our server, but this mod is almost like it.

Please download and extract this mod into [Your Civ4:BTS installation]/Mods/ and made sure that your unzip program does not create an extra folder:
Wrong: Mods/PB_Mod_v8/PB Mod_v8
Correct: Mods/PB Mod_v8

To start Civ4:BTS with this mod you could create a shortcut and add the arguments 'mod= "PB Mod_v8"'. Attention, do not forget the space after '=' or the double quotes
It should look similar to this shortcut (for an other mod.)

To check your mod setup you can join on our test Pitboss server. If you made something wrong it will crash during the login.

If the mod works take a look into this post, I've written for PB43. It describes two improvements, which made the live easier. (Both was mainly developed by me and are used in our Pitboss games on civforum.de for years)

The server is reachable over pb.zulan.net:2044

Thing to consider.

Maybe a teaching game like PB23?
Classical start?

[superdeath]

any particular reason to have a base BTS game?

[Alhazard]

i personally dont like the mods.

[chumchu]

I'm interested

[superdeath]

id play if no spys along with the no active espionage. And id prefer Pangaea.

[Alhazard]

For clarification I thought no activr espionage included no spy building. Welcome a board. Need 1 or 2 more players

[chumchu]

Pangea is fine by me.

How about system for picking civs/leaders. I would prefer some random system with choice or a point system over a regular snakepick.

[Alhazard]

I would be ok with both of the above. Edited OP because I forgot about vassals.

How do you feel about the BAT mod? It makes the game prettier and easier to work with without changing the gameplay.
