SmokyBat - Started

[Aristander]

Very strange. I re-enabled the two mods (worthy Heros 1.7b and Blessing Hotfix. I then made a pretender.

No difference that I could find, same as unmoded. All I can think is that I restarted Dominions a few times while in the process of originally creating the pretender.

Mods are on the Dominions 3 Mods forum. Just download and put in your Dominions mods folder. Start Dominions 3. Select preferences. Select mod preferences. select mod or mods to enable.

Also I've attached the worthy heroes mod somewhere in this thread I think. I wasn't planning on using the Blessing Hotfix, because I don't think any of the players have sacred undead.

Okay guys, I've just done some tests - I started the game three times using the same pretender for Atlantis and Aristander's resent pretender. Twice it worked, twice it gave the error. Seems like a bug in dominions or something to me - really really odd in any case.

So I will just start it again and hope it works I think.

This is a really interesting map, a little more strategically complicated than it looks at first glance. I'll have to pay attention to all those bridges.

Just curious about this weird thing happening with me. I had worthy heroes installed already, but for some reason my file was 1.7 rather than 1_7. So I downloaded the file Llamabeast attached, but I was wondering if there is any difference between the two, or if it has simply been renamed.

Gah! Much agony and two restarts later, I think we are fixed. Please use the turn that was "resent" to you (should be the only one without cheating messages, unless I have got confused, which is entirely possible).

Exceptionally weird error. I started the game exactly the same every time. Sometimes it gave an error, sometimes not. I actually think it is a dominions bug (which I don't say lightly), I will report it when I get a chance.

Atreides - that's probably just either me mistyping the name or something when I was making my zip, or someone else mistyping something at some point. The files will be exactly the same.

I think you might've gotten confused.

Without the Heroes mod installed, the turn won't start.

With it installed, but not turned on, the turn will start and turn the mod on without asking permission.

I think, if people are going to be creating pretenders without this mod being active, the best thing to do is to (short term) rename the appropriate .dm file with another (additional) extension (like .backup) so the game does not recognize it as being valid for its use.
