Thanks, llamabeast.

One more thing: as opposed of what I thought, there seems to be 2 victory provinces (this is due to server setting; I'm not sure if it is Llamabeast's decicion or not). This propably won't be a problem since they seem to be at equal distance from all players; this will only mean that the game will go on shorter time. But still, because of one VP per year, I think the game is going to last for a while.

It's good to be getting started, though.

For the map, I've just renamed worldofgeometry.tga as worldofgeometry2.tga. I presume that's the correct thing to do.

I think we may need to restart again.. there seems to be 3 Victory Provinces, and the third one is not balanced. Llamabeast seems to have mixed up the Victory condition settings.

I'll just go them in detail here so we won't need any more restarts.

When making the game, click "Standard Victory" and select "Victory Points (cumulative)". I think we agreed on 3 VP:s and they need to be for the same team, not player. So, Required Victory Points 3, Nbr of 1 vp provinces 1, all others 0.

The Required Victory Points 3 just ensures that the game cannot end before a team has 3 points, but it does not end the game if two players collect the points, so in that case, game will be declared as finished.

Gregstorm: yes. Llamabeast propably renamed the map so he won't lose the original version of it. We just need the picture of the map, but game wants that its name is the same as the map's name so... I may be needlessly complicated, but yes. Rename the picture.

When loading the game, you need to have the trn file in a savegame directory exactly named as the game: EpikBattel. I think that may be the problem.

But we need to restart nevertheless, due to the victory point mess-up.

Game crashes when I try to take my turn. Says it "cannot find map image worldofgeometry2.tga

I downloaded the World of Geometry map and have a map file, though it is called worldofgeometry.tga (doesn't have the "2")

Well I didn't! How is it to know who I am anyway? Does it know me by e-mail address or does it actually look into the file? The thingy said it doesn't matter what you put in the subject or body of your message, so it can't be that. And the file name only appears to indicate nation, so it can't be that.

Oh what is wrong!
