Re: New Kinda Noob game Starting
 

Thank you for the map mods, attackdrone- they sound fantastic!

I think someone who has been playing MP Dominions for years is a little above our heads. I'm sure we'll find someone else to play Oceania, and if not then we can just play with 8.

I'm interested in the idea of CBM 1.7, but those changes do sound drastic. Perhaps holding off for now is the better part of valor.

Re: New Kinda Noob game Starting
 

Yeah, I'm not too keen on using the new CBM either. Armour Revamp changes a *lot* of things, and I'd rather not rush into an MP game on a mod I haven't had and won't have the time to play around with alone for a while to get a sense of what's what.

'sides, my monkeys already lost their clams, you want they should give up the hammers too ? :)

Where can I get the .tga file for the map?

Re: New Kinda Noob game Starting
 

Never mind, I found it. Google to the rescue!

Re: New Kinda Noob game Starting
 

Still looking for one more player to take the role of Oceania. Any takers?

Re: New Kinda Noob game Starting
 

only the one...

BTW I D/L Attackdrones map file....it is a RAR file (which I have no idea what that means) I just dropped it in the file with Land of Legends in my Dom map file. Is that good enough? (I REALLY do not know much about computers)

Re: New Kinda Noob game Starting
 

Ragnars: you need to unpack the .rar file (I don't know what kind of system you are using, but most modern systems will activate some kind of unpacking utility automatically if you click (or double click) on a compressed file.

Once it's unpacked you should have a Landoflegends folder which will contain a .map file. The .map file should be placed in your dominions map directory.

Hopefully that was clear enough. :p

Re: New Kinda Noob game Starting
 

I did double click on it and it asked me what I wanted to open it with (basically). When theat happens I never know what to do as the list they supply is pretty lame. So I just stuck it in my maps folder along with the Land of Legends map files.

If this doesn't work is there ay way it can be A ZIP FILE (Lol, I know how to hit extract):sick:

Re: New Kinda Noob game Starting
 

Or bite the bullet and grab winrar (assuming you use windows or its simulators), you may run into more rar in the future:

Re: New Kinda Noob game Starting
 

I don't think Windows extracts .RARs natively, only .ZIP. Look up 7-zip, it's free, tiny and super easy to use. Once it's installed, all you need to do is right-click on the file and select "Extract here".

If you're on a Mac, Google suggests RARExpander, but I'm Mac illiterate so I don't know how practical it is.
