MP Game - Artifact Game - running 48hr qh

Double post.

But hey - seems we have enough players, maybe we can get this puppy kick started Sunday or Monday?

Oh - how do you specify which Twin Spear is given? I keep getting the blood/astral one every time doing my tests.

And btw Ironhawk - great idea making it a couple of near-useless commanders - sounds like they'll be good for, mmm, Fever Fetish bait at most where two scouts would be too awesome for nations that don't have regular / cheap scouts.

Another awesome deviant game plan - thanks Ironhawk, this and CoW have both caught the imagination for very different reasons.

(Not the main reason for that, but "All Wyrms All the Time" in the one is kinda neat, and all human pretenders is also a nice change of pace.)

I dont want to put them in the first post since they wont be completed till the Twin Spear issue is resolved. Until then, you can use the map and modfile I've attached in this post to practice with. Unzip the .map file to your maps folder and the .dm file to your mods folder. Make sure to then enable the mod and use that mapfile when you start your test game

didnt work for me when i tried to load the map :C

It worked fine for me. Do you have the Shahrivar .tga? If you haven't already downloaded Shahrivar, it won't work.

Oh... hmm you know I hadnt run into that problem yet. I've been assigning artifacts by name but clearly that wont work for the Twin Spear since the name is exactly the same. I suppose I will have to do it by item number? How do you get the item number? Ctrl-I on the info screen?

I'd planned on just using scouts but then the cursed artifact problem cropped up and it made a lot of sense to make some nuetral-effect units. What I really hope is to see someone try and make something out of these units. Like an early-game prophet or something hahahaha!!

Yeah I'm really excited about this one too. I think it should make for a really interesting game!

Unfortunately my efforts to assign the death based Twin Spear have failed. I just posted in the modding forums for help but given my experience I think the problem may be unsolvable. We should start thinking about what item to replace that spear with... I'm certainly open to suggestions on this one!
