Great! Once BandarLover connects, we will have 5, and I'll start the game.

I read the help after I already started the server, and I could have sped things up by using command-line options to auto-start once the game got to 5 players.

Oh well, live and learn. I'm pretty sure I can't stop and restart the server at this point in time because currently the only options are 'Cancel' and 'Start Game'. So I'll manually start it once when we get five. Unless I'm asleep .

Here we go ...

We've started with:

C'tis - BandarLover
Lanka - K
R'lyeh - thraveboy
Abysia - jimkehn
Agartha - vfb

Good luck to all, and have fun! Please PM me or post if there are any problems.

I have quickhost on, so the next turn will start once everyone gets their turn submitted.

Aww nuts.

It said I got a bad pack from the server and crashed. This happened while downloading the map. Would it help if I download the map ahead of time?

BandarLover:

Yes, please try downloading the zip file. Just unpack the zip file into your dominions3/maps/ directory. You might need to change the case of TGA in tyrande_103.TGA to tga, as in: tyrande_103.tga.

Here's the link:

http://ulm.illwinter.com/dom2/tyrande_103.zip

Also, have you patched to 3.06?

Default Quickhost Offline Warning

A warning about quickhost games (since this game is quickhost):

If you choose to complete a turn offline, make sure it is finished before you connect to the server.

From http://www.quartertothree.com/game-t...d.php?p=776183

Quote:

The only danger in doing a turn offline is that if you save it, even if you aren't done, the game saves a valid .2h file for that turn. If the game is set to quickhost, and you are the last player to submit a turn, and you connect with your partially completed turn, the game will see valid moves for all nations and will auto-host. So don't connect to a game with a move made offline unless you are prepared to have it be the move you submit. Unless the game isn't set to auto-host when all moves have been submitted, in which case you are safe.
bemura.dyndns.org should always be running, so it's probably safest just to do all your turns connected.
