Empire for PBW

Yes, it's the lack of the correct shipset (not empire file) that causes the problem. The empire file defines the shipset to use and can't be changed, so you and your fellow players will need that shipset on their computer. (in Pictures/Races folder) Those that don't have it will get a random shipset from those they do have. Just download it at any time to fix the problem.

I played my entire KOTH game against Parabolize seeing a new shipset each turn. I am sooooo lazy!

Okay. So that goes into the races folder inside the pictures folder, and that's all I need to do?

Pictures/Race folder is for Race images and race AI files.

If you do not have the correct race the game will automatically assign you a random race each turn. This can become very annoying. What race are you playing as?

Atrocities: That's what I was afraid of. The Game description says I'm supposed to be Minbari.

I've been accepted into the game, but haven't yet played a turn because the game rejected my password.

You can have the game host generate a new password for you; youll have to miss a turn for that but that probably isn't much of a problem since you haven't been able to play any anyway

And while you wait, download and install the Minbari shipset. It's probably available on PBW in the Files section.
