Yea, it works fine, as long as you ignore the 1st post about renaming the single age mod.

Essentially download that mod in the 1st post BUT DO NOT RENAME IT and bingo your good to go.

No need to re-submit pretenders.

As you can see, several players have already done there turns overcoming any small 1st turn glitches.

Yeah had to rename the file and folder for Timewarp--so next Single Age I try Ill just try the SAC.dm first and then the S A mod.dm 2nd if it doesnt work.

The pretender file does not save any information directly relating to the mods that were active on creation, name of the files or otherwise.

The only mods you ever actually -need- to have active to create your pretender, are mods that affect pretender selection, or costs, OR nation mods that may be applicable for the game.

When the game is started, it just looks at the data without any thought as to what is a mod or not, it just loads the files, pulls the relevant info from the database, and checks spent points to make sure that all is proper and legal.

At that point, then you must have the same mods (or really, just any .dm files matching the name of the files used to create the game) in order to open the turn, but again, the turn doesn't have -any- of the mod data within it, so you could have empty text files, or totally different mods renamed in your folder, and the turn will run, but you will observe very strange behavior on your end, and you could potentially send in corrupted turns that cause hosting errors.

Don't know if any of that clears up anything that needed clearing up, but there you go.

Got SingleAgeComplete.dm as well as the other two in my folder and it's working fine.

I don't mean to be a pain but the game turns were sent to the wrong e-mail address (fixed now though). Could we please restart?

JimMorrison · #6 February 17th, 2009, 05:05 AM

Oh my.

Oh dear oh dear oh dear.....

How does it get sent to the wrong email? It automatically sets the email to the one that sent the pretender file, so.....

Well, according to the Pretenders of the World report, chrispederson grabbed MA Mictlan instead of EA Mictlan, thereby making him the only nation (Mictlan of all things) in the game without natural Blood.

Since it's so early in the game, restarting is not much trouble. However, I'll be leaving for Florida tomorrow, so I won't start the game back up until I get back next Thursday.

Game has been un-started. It is now back to the "Waiting for Pretenders" screen. Game is now officially on hiatus until I return from vacation.

Please ignore the false extra start there, that was a glitch.

Well, if we are having a restart (which I have absolutely no problem with btw) can I drop out of the game. I have looked into my crystal ball and in the summer, when this game really gets going I am going to be too busy to play.

Sorry about that guys! If its possible just delete Ea Helheim pretender when re-starting or if anyone wants to join and play Ea Helheim, feel free to upload your pretender file over mine.

I would have liked to play but just not enough hours in the day.
