i need to restart the game.

Somehow I uploaded the wrong Mictlan pretender. I also cannot even take my turn because I get a strange error message, "Wrong gnumber". The error appears when I press, "No, reselect my nation".

gnumber is not a spelling mistake.

Strange, I'm getting that error in both my games.

Well I'd restart but I don't have time. Ned to goto school.

Until a dev pops in I will make a wild guess. Id say gnumber might be god number. And the problem might be if you created any new gods then put the player files in to try and restart the game? Something like that? Well a mismatch of some sort.

Are you using a dedicated icon to host the game from different directorys then the ones you yourself play on? That way the player stuff doesnt overwrite your stuff (like their gods)

Many thanks for dealing with my Mictian issue, I will sacrifice a nice plump slave in your honor come fall.

That can't be the problem. First of all, my pretender is saved in the game folder. And I deleted my pretender and made a new one a few weeks ago. This is the first time I'm getting this problem and I get the error message when I don't even select a nation.

Ok... I found out I can select "Yes" when it lists all the nations and asks, "Play the following nation(s)?"

Sooo, I have to select "Yes" and not "No, reselect nations"

When I choose "Yes", I am able to play everyone's nations. But, that's just a minor problem I will ignore for now.

gnumber = game number, but that won't make much sense either I think.

My guess is that something wicked has crept into your newlords folder. Erase your entire newlords folder and it might just work.
