Players will not have access to the map file, they will have to set forth and explore with their pretenders.

However, the map file is available on the mod page! I'm confused... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/confused.gif

No, you probably don't have it! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif A dom2-map consists of a graphics file (.tga) and mapfile (.map). The .tga is required for playing, while the .map is only required to set up a new game. The downloadable shepherdsmap.zip contains only a faked .map file, which does not hold any unusal information about the scenario (just neighborship relations), but allows to play the map without any features of the scenario.

Illwinter will setup a game for you using the proper .map file, so this is nothing to worry about. The reason is, that players cannot simply look into the mapfile to see how the scenario is scripted (e.g. which province has which sites, defending commanders having precious items, preste-castles, pre-set villains for the central AI, etc.). So this is done to keep some surprises for everyone!

Hmm, but is the .tga file the actual map? I thought it was going to be "shrouded" or is the "shrouding" they're talking about have to do with the missing .map file? thx

Re: Shepherds of Creation signup

Does the \shepherds directory go under the \Mods directory?

Re: Shepherds of Creation signup

Kristoffer, I PM'ed you yesterday with 7 names for a full game. Can you please give me an ETA? Thanks!

Re: Shepherds of Creation signup

It seems nobody can log into SOC1, and this has been the case for maybe 20 hours now. Did it crash on your end?

Re: Shepherds of Creation signup

Hi all!

I've been preoccupied the last week or so. Sorry for the inconvenience. I have set up the third game now, but as Turin has moved to Huntsmans group we will need a new player in the third game. So as soon as anyone is ready for Rudra there is a game going.

Re: Shepherds of Creation signup

Thanks for setting us up. Map looks great, BTW. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Shepherds of Creation signup

SOC1 appears to be dead again. At least, I've been unable to connect for 12 hours.

Re: Shepherds of Creation signup

Hmm... From next Saturday I'll be out of town for over a week. Will the 3rd game start before 4th April? Because if it will, then I think it is best I make room for somebody who can be present during the first crucial turns http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif
