I decided to place the start positions by hand. I'd just like to say it's impossible, so when you end up with a weird start position please bear that in mind! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Actually only one person is starting in a genuinely odd position with only three neighbours, and I'm going to add an iron mine to one of the adjacent provinces to make it better for them.

Edit: Not true in the end, I managed to put everyone in a reasonable spot I think.

And we're off!

Sorry for the slow start on this game by the way. It's been like herding cats.

well, i can't get it to work.
"you need the following mod installed: heroes1_7.dm",
after i unzipped all the mod files to my \mod\.

just let you know, that mod worked if i play it in a test run. and meh, i don't appreciate a mod at last minute...really. no offensive, but it would make me happy if i knew there's one earlier, so i can adjust my pretender design....you know, the luck/misfortune things. =)

Heya,
Getting same error:
"you need the following mod installed: heroes1_7.dm",
after i unzipped all the mod files to my \mod\.

AreWeInsaneYet: Point taken, sorry about that. I will make sure to make mods clear from the start in future.

As for the mod trouble, that's because I was being thick. In the zip I uploaded the mod was called heroes1_7b.dm, where as it should be called heroes1_7.dm. Oops. I'll change the attachment in a sec. But you can fix it by just renaming the file and getting rid of the "b" in the name.

Hmmm...
Mine worked, but I've had worthy heroes installed for some time.

Re: Chinchilla - Game for new/newish players (open
 

Tried it again, and noted the mod downloaded is heroes1_7b.dm

The one the game asks for is heroes1_7.dm

No b in the game mod.

This I assume may be the issue?

That's the one Sleet, well spotted. I guess you were typing that when I made my last post. Just rename the file.

Cool. Up island on a sloooow connection so refreshing the screen takes a while. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif
Fixed and good to go.
