calling all players is in motion...

Hmm, I completely forgot about that. I'll send the files to you all right away. Thanks for reminding me, and sorry about forgotting them.

EDIT: I sent the turns, but forgot to tell what to send back. Until I get the TCP/IP to work, we might as well play a few turns in the old way.

The folder in which you placed the .trn file you should have gotten is the folder for this game. After you have played your turn, your orders will appear there in the nation.2h file. That is, you'll have arcos.2h or ulm.2h or... Of course, you only can get the .2h for the nation you play, so this should be simple enough in this case. You can e-mail this .2h file to me, and if I have everyones' order, I can place them to the correct folder, generate the new turn and send the new .trn files back to you. However, we hopefully WON'T have to do this too many times, as I'm trying to get the TCP/IP thing to work.

Try if you can connect to the TCP/IP. That is, choose Network, Connect to Server, enter 80.223.102.19 as the IP, 1111 as the port. If it works, you can just play your turn.

If it doesn't, you should put the .trn file I emailed to you to a folder (named 'smeg', 'calling', 'game' or anything)in your main Dominions II folder. You can then start Dominions and play a game with that name. After you are finished, you should e-mail the orders-file for me. The orders are in the folder you created for the game, in a file named "ulm.2h" or similar, depending on your nation.

Yes! It connected!

The TCP/IP connection worked for him, so at least the settings work. Good, I was starting to doubt them.

Shovah: you don't have to send anything, because the connection worked for you. Naresh, like me!, thought that it didn't work. I don't know what's happening, but hopefully (we'll get this working) --> I'll get this to work all the time.

Seems like there is happening alot here. Are severals turns alllready played? Or are we fighting with the first turn? I tryed to connect to the TCP/IP server today but failed.

And can someone tell me where to download the graphics package that the map uses.

We are still on turn 1.
You weren't sble to connect yesterday. I suspect the problem is that my computer isn't on all the time. Unfortunately, a fan has started being very loud, and I'd probably have to move my whole computer out of my room. We do have a spare computer (it's old and abandoned), and if it can run DomII and there is still space left in the modem, we could get a 24/7 server.
