New MP Game - Random, Anonymous, No Diplomacy

[Alneyan]

If memory serves, gnumber is when you use an order .2h file, and not a Pretender .2h file; 7k is way too big to be a Pretender, but it can be a small order file. I had the same problem in another game, and I'm pretty sure it was the gnumber message.

Whollaborg: Heh, you're welcome; I guess I will just create a game when I feel like getting into a new game (once my current game, Song of the Blade, is over)

[Arkas]

Yeah, i was playing a test game out with my faction. It probably is from a game in action. I will modify the pretender and resend when i get home tonight.

Remember, you send the nation.2h file from the newlords directory, not from a game directory.

There's really nothing to modify. As Cainehill said, just go to your \newlords folder and your unmodified pretender for your nation will be there. Just send it off and away we go!

[Cainehill]

Well - if he hasn't created another pretender for that nation since then. Arkas might want to start a game with the pretender just to make sure it's the one he thinks it is (with the _default_ pretender name, etc).

Ok. I have everyone's pretenders. I will get the game started!

It is my understanding that the map folder is not being modified. I just need to get the victory conditions right.

You will have to use the modified map (it is included in a previous post) which removes all the preset VP provinces. Then you do the followiong:
1. Click on 'Standard Victory'.
2. Select 'Victory by victory points'.
3. Put the 'Required victory points' to 9.
4. Put the other three slider bars to zero.
5. Click the 'One VP per capitol box'.

And that's it!

Ok - thanks. I will find the modified map.

Report:

1. Hmmmm. The game says that King Lear's pretender is not a dominions file. I will ask him to send it again. Sorry for the continued delays. The game recognizes everyone elses pretender files.

2. About 4 players did not assign passwords to their pretender files. Does this matter?

3. I did a test run, and I think I have everything right. However, let me make sure I have the correct mods:

- Zen Items 1.0
- Zen Pretender 2.2
- Zen Spells 1.8
- Zen Scales 1.2
- Hero Mod 1.2

4. I assume that the map mod is not being modified. Instead, I need to make sure that victory points are set at 9 (with only victory points in capitols). (I assume that I otherwise set the VP scales to zero and just "click" the "VP in capitol provinces" box.)

Thanks. Sorry for delay.
