The host should not be sending you his .trn file. You send him your .2h file, he sends you YOUR .trn file back. That's it. You don't need his .trn to play your turn.
I assume the game was created correctly? In other words, the host put your pretender file and his pretender file into /newlords, did Create New Game, and sent you the resulting .trn?
Also, BuayaDarat is correct, no one should ever send the ftherlnd file. It stays with the host.

Re: How do you play over email?
Sorry.
Ive been more host than player. To me the game directory looks wrong without a fatherland in it.

Have you ever sent a ftherlnd file to someone, though? I'm curious whether this would allow them to host.

Re: How do you play over email?
Not to be ignorant...
But why do people play PBEM when a network game is one thread-request away?
I'm always hosting new Dominions 2 Network games and so are a bunch of other people. I feel PBEM is a waste of time.
