Okay, adjacent it is.

Sorry guys, I really won't be able to start this today. It'll be tomorrow night now. Apologies for the delay.

I don't think you've missed anything--I've been checking and it appears that Arcoscephale (ah that delicious unpronouncable name!) only just joined within the past few hours, bringing us to 12 nations. So I guess we can start soon... but I don't think anybody has fired the starting gun yet. Whatever that means.
Yeah, my apologies. I was awaiting the confirmation that Dr. P had switched the teams over. Then I realized, after looking at llamaserver, that everyone was waiting on me, so I quickly made my God.

Damn it, seems that I have forgotten my password. I found a thread about it; it is not retrievable, but master password can open the turn. How does it work? Does the game have a master password? Of course, this could be restarted because we are still at turn one.

I am very sorry people, I thought that I had picked a password that I can remember but apparently not.

You'll all notice I started the game twice - please use the second one. The first I started by accident with indies 8, which I thought was important enough to be worth a restart (since you would all have designed pretenders for indies 5).

FrozenFalcon - I'll send you the master password. It's not so dodgy to do so with a PBEM game since you can't peek at each other's turns anyway.

Everyone - FrozenFalcon will be the admin for this game, so if you want e.g. a turn postponing, please contact him.

Thanks, llamabeast.

One more thing: as opposed of what I thought, there seems to be 2 victory provinces (this is due to server setting; I'm not sure if it is Llamabeast's decicion or not). This propably won't be a problem since they seem to be at equal distance from all players; this will only mean that the game will go on shorter time. But still, because of one VP per year, I think the game is going to last for a while.

It's good to be getting started, though.

For the map, I've just renamed worldofgeometry.tga as worldofgeometry2.tga. I presume that's the correct thing to do.

I think we may need to restart again.. there seems to be 3 Victory Provinces, and the third one is not balanced. Llamabeast seems to have mixed up the Victory condition settings.

I'll just go them in detail here so we won't need any more restarts.

When making the game, click "Standard Victory" and select "Victory Points (cumulative)". I think we agreed on 3 VP:s and they need to be for the same team, not player. So, Required Victory Points 3, Nbr of 1 vp provinces 1, all others 0.

The Required Victory Points 3 just ensures that the game cannot end before a team has 3 points, but it does not end the game if two players collect the points, so in that case, game will be declared as finished.

Gregstorm: yes. Llamabeast propably renamed the map so he won't lose the original version of it. We just need the picture of the map, but game wants that its name is the same as the map's name so... I may be needlessly complicated, but yes. Rename the picture.

When loading the game, you need to have the trn file in a savegame directory exactly named as the game: EpikBattel. I think that may be the problem.

But we need to restart nevertheless, due to the victory point mess-up.

We cannot have more than 1 VP province.
