• I got it working! I got a pitboss server working, I have yet to place it ON a server in which we can all connect and join and enjoy a game of CIV 4, but here's the deal:
  Pitboss is a standalone server software for direct IP connection to a Civilization 4 game.
  
  Because I got it working with latest patch
  (1.74 available here), both fully updated non-steam, and fully updated steam client owners of Civilization 4 will be able to connect to the game! (I don't know about cracked/hacked users, haven't tried, but if you have it you can check for us once i have an IP up).
  
  SO, it's working now, what needs to be done now is decision as to settings.
  
  First up: Must be vanilla (anyone who has it can guarantee they have vanilla better than the expansions, I personally only have vanilla myself, but I'll probably get the expansions somewhere down the line.
  
  If you're not ainmosni, skip ahead to part 3.
  Second up: I would like an SMTP server from ainmosni if possible, the pitboss server does automatic e-mailing stuff for when it's people's turns and they're not on, the login info I can place is as follows
  SMTP Host
  SMTP Login
  SMTP Password
  E-mail address
  Seeing as it's a simple interface I doubt it supports SSL or even TSL, or other secure layers for e-mail. This is why I'm asking ainmosni.
  
  Part 3: this will be set up as a direct IP.
  Part 4: password will be brbu
  
  Part 5: (the long part)

i'd prefer a 24 or 12  hour turn timer to.  i'd like to fit this into my forum browsing schedual  ( once in the mornin' , once in the evenin' )

anyone who wants to play it faster than that should make their own game
