Oh - when you say we'll be playing with Zen's modifications, you mean the Cradle of Zen Version of the map, and not Zen's balance mod, is this correct? (I'd been more used to seeing his map Version simply referred to as Cradle of Zen.)

Re: MP Game (open) - Cradle/De-celerating Schedule
 

Yes, the Cradle Version of the map, though in retrospect it would have been interesting to play with the balance mod.

Haven't started yet. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif One thing I like about the balance mod is that is doesn't unbalance the nation or the gameplay, but it definately makes a wider range of pretender choices viable.

(And we might get more players flocking in, if it's with the mod. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif )

Ah, you tempt me...

Other players: do you object if we use Zen's Conceptual Balance Pretender mod for this game?

If not, everyone should re-create & re-load Pretenders for their nations using the mod, to take advantage of Zen's tweaks.

You'll have to delete the existing pretenders. It won't copy over successfully IIRC.

That's only with mosehansen, because he has code to restore the original pretender. Dominions itself allows existing pretenders to be overwritten as many times as desired. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

The thing which sometimes has to be deleted is people's directory, if a game is restarted with the same name or they won't see their actual position on the map, but rather their capital on the old map.

Done

Re: MP Game (open) - Cradle/De-celerating Schedule
 

Um - we do need to decide which Version of Zen's balance mod to use. I think 1.72 is the latest, but people may've uploaded with 1.71. Better to declare a Version and stick with it, in case more minor Versions are forthcoming, in which case people have to keep recreating their pretender and reuploading.

That is, if everyone was happy with going with the pretender balance mod.

Re: MP Game (open) - Cradle/De-celerating Schedule
 

Those I've heard from did not have problems, but I have not heard from everyone and am not sure that everyone knows they would need to download the Mod and use it to re-create their Pretenders. Looks as though Calistas went ahead and uploaded a modded Pretender--

is that right Calistas?
