Game question...

If you are allied with a player and have an army on your mutual borders.

Another player attacks your ally in a province that you can help defend.

How can you go into your allies territory and fight the aggressor without attacking your ally?

You can't. The best you could do is ask your allies permission to take his land in order to help him out; then you can return it later after the crises has passed.

I rise from my slumber, sending for the Lord of war appropriations, I say "bring forth the Mighty Hero's, Let the criers sound thruout the land, Lord Chill calls for you." Then He looks at the Lord of research and says "the state of research in The Land is abysmal. Go forth and find me the best mages and scribes in The Land." Then i turn to my crystal ball and start scrying around me.

GrudgeBringer, your first post was a little hard to understand. I'll do my best.

You don't need the pretender or anything like that. You don't need the turn file from last time the game started - that game is dead. You do need the .trn file that was sent out last night (GMT, about 9 hours ago anyway). That needs to be put in your dominions3\savedgames\FreshMeat folder, and you should then be able to play the game.

If you've somehow deleted that file, you can request a resend. To do that go to www.llamaserver.net, click on "FreshMeat" and then click on "Request turn resend" at the bottom.

Hope that helps.

I sent this to llamaserver also but am somewhat at a loss...I have played on a dedicated server (like WOW, Battlenet, ect) and TCP/IP but never PBEM.

I got turn 2 and put it in my file that has all the other files to get the game started (TRN, first turn ect) but now I am not sure what to do.

I loaded the game and tried to play the save to see if just putting turn 2 in there would update it but it doesn't.

Sorry I am really new at this but once this turn is done and I get it sent in I should be smooth for the rest of my game (I should last at least 3 weeks...I hope)

I'm not sure what the problem is. I'll just state the basics. If you already know all this, and it doesn't help, then I apologize. Under saved games you should have a FreshMeat folder which the turn file should be placed in. AFAIK, the turn file should be all you need to open up your turn. Select the game to play within Dom3. Take your turn and then save and quit.

Saving the game will generate a file with the extension 2h. You Email this to the server with "FreshMeat" as the subject line. If you don't have the correct map, that might be a problem. Earlier versions of Dom3 came with an earlier version of the cradle map which had some flaws. You have 3.17 installed, right?
