Just got my pretender in. Sorry about the delay, today was insane.

Let the Water War begin!

First turn due monday due to holidays? I haven't received it yet and I really am out of time. I'll try to get it submitted Sunday for quickhosting depending on how soon i get home.

Had a bit of an issue with the map file having spaces in its name. As a result you'll need to rename your map images from "Wrap around water.tga" to "WrapAroundWater.tga".

Game started! Have fun!

I noticed the turn is due sunday. Requesting (again) a delay so I can get back from 4th of July (Independence Day here in the US) weekend and actually take my turn.

It seems that someone has been given a land province as a starting location. Unless I'm badly mistaken, this is crippling for any of these nations - we may have to restart (possibly assigning rather than randomizing start provinces).

FrozenLama, did you update the .map (text) file to refer to the new .tga (image) file's name? The map shouldn't work at all without a correct .map, but I'm not entirely sure (I've only modded nations - .mod files - so far).

It seems to me like the .map file should prohibit land starting locations - I know that can be done somehow, but again, I haven't done any map modding).

In case that's the problem, I've attached a fixed copy of the .map file (an easy fix) - I didn't see anything in the file that specificed water capitals only, but I didn't look too close and, though the scripting format is the same for .mod and .map files, the commands are different.

Ok i'm *extremely* confused....

the Vanishag- I have no clue what you mean.. did you get a land start? I've made several test games on the map and never started on land.

If some modding needs to be done, I'm useless. I know a lot about playing Dominions, but i know nothing, absolutely nothing about modding maps, nations, anything.

i downloaded your attachment, and then changed the names of my old version to not include spaces and now i have 2 copies of the map, and the game works just fine for me.

sorry about this, but i'm at a loss for what you mean?

I cannot play my turn, each time I try the game crash and I get the following message: cannot find map image "nameofmap".tga file...
