The artifact mod doesn't change the artifacts - it only changes the Asmeg into Artifact Wardens who are capable of dropping the artifacts regardless of cursed status.

The Twin Spear can't, apparently, be changed : even putting multiple Twin Spears in simply results in copies of the first (lesser horror calling) spear into the game, according to my tests.

This is correct. So the artifact mod that you currently have should be fine. I just placed the Conceptual Balance 5.1 mod up in the first thread alongside it for ease of download. Both mods will be required for this game - make sure to have both enabled before you build your pretender.

What you will recieve that will be new on the date of game start will be a new .map file with randomized start location. This file also contains what artifacts go to which nation and it will contain a Wraith Crown for Ermor instead of the promised Twin Spear.

Oh, I forgot to mention something which a few of you may have noticed by now. Due to the fact that the Artifact Wardens have only two hands I was forced to give a third (and even a fourth) warden to certain nations like TC and Machaka. Not really a big deal but I thought I would let you all know.

Ok hmm, got the map, got the mods, enabled the mods, made a pretender after the mods were enabled and made a game. No artifacts or wardens in sight.

What simple thing am I missing? I wish to practice!

When you create a game, you need to select "Land of Shahrivar (free, artifacts)" as the map.

that version of the .map is based on the original, w/ all it's connectivity (and terrain) issues. Just strip out the preset sites from the revised - though there are two connectivity issues that are still w/ the revised - they're easy to clean up and I'll post them later.

Hmm I seem to have but the regular shahrivar map and the shahrivar free map. I know it's something simple and dumb because thats always the case..

You want the old shahrivar.tga or whatever it's named (the graphics part), the .map file found on page 5 of this thread (shahrivar_artifacts.map), and the artifacts mod and CB 5.1 found at the beginning of the thread (whew!)

If the .tga and .map and .dm's are where they are supposed to be (.tga and .map in the Maps directory, .dm in Mods) I don't know what the problem is.

Arch, can you send me this revised .map file? I guess I dont have it.

Working now, thanks for the assistance!
