Problem with World War Scenario

[Edi]

What do you mean Archaeolept? Which file are you talking about? The .map file or the tga? And how exactly did it sort out?

I'm still faced with the same problem even after getting the fixed worldwar.map file, and it's starting to annoy me no end. Didn't help setting all players to human either. As far as I can see, there is nothing wrong with the map file either, but I'm no expert on those.

Is anybody else having this problem?

I think the problem may be an interaction of the "number of starting provinces" feature with the fact that the scenario doesn't give nations a contiguous starting point, instead splitting them into several pieces that are scattered around the map.

[Edi]

Quite possible, I suppose, but I also found out an interesting factoid yesterday: Whatever the "Något gick fel!" problem is, it only affects the aquatic nations. Trying to include either Atlantis or R'lyeh crashes the game, but without them it creates the game just fine.

They also have one less starting province specified in the .map file than the others (but then, so does T'ien Chi, which seemingly works just fine).

I've also had trouble getting the game to give any nation those extra start provinces, it just gives one, even when more are specified and special start is enabled.

Does this shed more light on the problem?

Could somebody else also run a few tests on this, and specifically concentrate on the aquatics?

If you run the Warld War scenarion you can't change nbr of starting provinces. They are set by the sceanario.

Whatever your problem is it isn't the scenario. Like i said i almost exclusivly play it and most of the time with Ermor:AE and Arcos. With the worldwar scenario you just need to set the nation which is human controlled and leave the others off and it will create them anyways.

I'll see if I can find a solution.

If not, I suppose I'm going to have to reinstall Dom-2 then, unless I find some other cause for this problem.

One more question: Most people here have gone through the routine of patching Dom-2 multiple times as new patches have come out, but I went straight to v2.08. Could that cause some anomalous behavior?

Never mind. Problem solved by the usual uninstall/reinstall routine, and all's well and fine now. Apparently something or other got screwed up at some point or another when I first installed Dom2 (the game itself, the patch, or perhgaps even the maps when I put them in the Maps folder, I have no idea which).
