Re: Are you tough enough to be the "King of the Hill"?
 

Since we need to achieve a decision in settings I propose one good starting planet.

Re: Are you tough enough to be the "King of the Hill"?
 

Thats great with me.

Good luck http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Re: Are you tough enough to be the "King of the Hill"?
 

So the settings are
</font>

• <font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">One good starting planet</font>
• <font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">No openers</font>
• <font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">No talisman</font>
• <font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">No ancient</font>
• <font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Geo's balance mod</font>
• <font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Other than that default</font>

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">
I think that's all.

Good luck to you too.

KOTH Game!

Game posted:

Verified to contain no ruins and balanced starting positions.

Let's keep this a fair fight. Primitive, no hitting below the belt and Asmala, no calculators permitted in the ring http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif .

Updates would be nice (after all, you guys are in the spotlight).

Re: Are you tough enough to be the "King of the Hill"?
 

Well, drat! Seems like Primitive is getting an "incompatible" error trying to open the game.

P, to answer your question, I set the Path.txt file to point to the Balance mod folder. Then I started 1.91. Turned off ruins and generated maps over and over and saved off 6 interesting ones. "Tabbed" out and opened the editor. After a while, I had found one I liked and set points and saved off the map. Exited the map editor. Loaded the map into SE4 (Version 1.91 as it's the only Version I have now). Loaded one of my "Ancient" empires and looked at "Specials" to verify no ruins and verify it was placing me in one of the 2 starting places. Canceled the game and created another one. This time, loading Asmala's empire first, then yours, and, of course, the map I made. Made all the other settings I needed to. Then I ran the initial turn and uploaded to PBW.

You are correct that you don't need the Balance mod for you to play a game on it. I'm not sure what is happening but I pulled the file down from PBW here at work (a completely different PC with 1.91 on it) and loaded it up. Told it to run a turn (and of course, it asked me if I wanted to run it without either of the 2 player files). It ran fine. (I'm not sure if that is a good test or not since I didn't actually load up a player's turn).

I think we need to let Asmala give it a try. He's generated a lot of games and maybe he can see if it runs on his PC and offer suggestions as to what might be wrong.

Sorry for the problem http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">What about slide rules, are they allowed? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Re: Are you tough enough to be the "King of the Hill"?
 

I can't open the file either.

I think the problem is that you've Balance mod Version 1.1 which uses 1.86 data files. Version 1.2 uses 1.91 data files.
