Thank you much for the quick reply.

So - just to make sure I understand correctly...I was browsing around in the /Program Files/dominionsII directory, and noticed that the .2h files were stored in their own folders, based on what the names of the games are - so everything should be happy there. But in the "newlords" folder, will the new Caelum pretender I create overwrite the old one? Or is the pretender information stored somewhere else as well?

Thanks again.

yes it will overwrite and will not interrupt the pretender design of games which have already been created.

Ah...I see.

Thanks again for your help and for assuaging my fears...I am just terminally scared of screwing things up, since this is my first MP game and I don't want to ruin it five turns in.

Just for clarity. Once your god file is sent in to the host for the first round of the game, its not used anymore. It only reads god files and the map file (text part) that first time. After that its part of the game.

So you can have a dozen games running both MP and SP will all different Versions of Caelum god.
