Parganos game for 6 players (running)

[solo]

Okay, start the game, then use game tools to get to the map editor and start it up. Type in Parganos when asked for the map name. Then right click on the little island you see to the northeast, which is province #31. On the left click the nostart box and a check mark will appear there. Then exit, and when asked for the new map name, just type in Parganos again. No need for another name, since you might as well keep this map fixed. You can always use the map editor again later to reset province #31 should it ever be needed as a starting province in the future.

So easy a caveman could do it.

Thanks, it's fixed so I suppose if EVERYONE does that I don't see why we can't play it.

solo, it would be alot easier if you copy the Parganos map file to something like "ParganosFixed.map", then use the map editor to edit it yourself, and let your players download the map when they connect to the server. Since the map image is the same like before, they only have to download the map file from the server - that's just some kilobytes of text. If they fix the original map file, then they might have problems in other games later on (the server checks CRCs).

I didn't know that, but wouldn't other games later on be plagued with the same problem when starting?

Why not fix the map, to keep this from happening again?

Anyways, it's up to ajr, who is setting up this game on his server. We'll go with what he decides.

OK, I *think* I've correctly edited the map and started the game. I have confirmed that I am not starting in province 31, but I need everyone else to do the same. Quickhost is on, but I'm not going to start the timer until we've confirmed that the start locations are correct and everyone can connect.

I am not on the island. I wish I had been, though. My starting
position sucks big time, and I do not even have the excuse :-)

[BandarLover]

My starting location is O.K.

Quick question ajr? Did we need to email you our pretender passwords? In case someone has to leave and we need a replacement?

[solo]

I'm okay.
