All pretenders are in and with correct nations, so on Friday, 2nd September at 0:00 of Earth's GMT+1 time...

It has begun!

Just wanted to say, I love the name and the theme. :-)

Given that Ermor's policy is to liberate the Proletariat from the drudge of every day toil by setting them on fire, then stabbing them repeatedly and finally raising them as undead minions to serve in the legions, I can only hope that we will have a happy and meaningful diplomatic relationship going forward Ms Luxemburg!

I'm trying to update from 3.26 to 3.27

----------------------------
Dominions 3 has not been totally updated because of the following reason:

The access to the following file is denied:

dom3.exe: error - cannot replace, denied access
----------------------------

Yes, I have Vista. Vista sucks. Now what?

I'm going to try moving the whole dominions tree out of Program Files and see if that works...

If that fails, I think you can right click on the update exe file and run it as administrator, which should in theory get around the problem.

Moving the directory tree to C:\ worked -- and now I don't have to deal with VirtualStore anymore either. Yay!

But thanks for the rightclick/administrator idea. That might be helpful in the future.

I'll have my turn submitted shortfully. Thankfully, it started me in the big lake. Does that mean Ryleh and Oceania start in the small lakes? Or does the 1 ocean player limit mean he always starts in the big lake?

Dear Esmeralda, the world is known to flow as a river, in it's set direction, at it's own pace. Life comes in and out of our world in it's own natural way. It isn't wise from a man or god alike to be fighting the flow. Unlife is only an illusion of life and it is a serious imbalance in universe. People of T'ien Ch'i, followers of The Way, are akin to protect the balance of this world by their own choice, and they will do so. Please keep that in mind.

Best regards,
Ariasa, the Two-Spirited, Four-Handed God-Emperor of T'ien Ch'i

The rivers will flow as blood, against it's set direction, at my own pace. Life comes in and out of our world at my discretion. It isn't wise from a man or pretender alike to be fighting this flow. Hope is only an illusion of the doomed and it is a fleeting novelty of this universe. People of this world, followers of The Pretenders, are akin to sheep at the slaughter. There will be blood.

Best regards,
Big Red, the Beginning and the End, The Man Eater

By all that is sacred...this is blasphemy! This is madness!

The map seems to be fixed starts, so presumably that means the water dude always starts in the same spot?

Mind you, last time I played we didn't actually have a water dude.

I am a man. But I am also on a horse.
I AM MAN ON HORSE.

Prepare for something that is perhaps not quite unlike the Kentucky Derby but you do not have a horse and shall lose.
