I seem to be having a problem- I received the first turn file, created a directory for it in my savedgames and attempt to load it up via "play existing game", get to the point where I select the game and click play and I get a crash to desktop :/

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong here, anyone got some insight? I tried having the file resent with the same result.

Just tried it again- to clarify, I select the game and it goes to "C'tis- turn 1" or something similar then and crashes after I hit play at that point. Other existing games I have seem to be working fine. Perhaps my file is corrupted?

I had it too- and fixed it. The problem is that one of the files in the map pack (Attatched to the first post) has the wrong name. Change 'parganos.tga' to 'parganos_llama3.tga' by renaming the file. It worked for me.

Hmm, I'm pretty stumped. I tried as you said, sum1lost, but still experiencing the same problem. I am on a Mac by the way, if that matters. I can also create a game using Lllama's map and it seems to work fine so I'm wondering if my file itself is corrupted or if it is a Mac-PC compatability issue. Could I forward my trn file to someone to see if they can get it to work?

I had to request a resend of my turn. and the mail took longer than usual to arrive in my mailbox.

Every one seems awake and playing, 5 players have already played their turn 8 ^^

I wouldn't worry too much. At some point everyone will look at the server list and realise everyone is waiting on them.
The important thing to remember is not to make them wait twice in a row.

I am playing a different game at the moment were some guy is about to get triple teamed because he is always the last guy to submit his turn. In fact he would get quad teamed except the 4th guy can't get his armies in to fight.

The forest lords of pangea have heard rumor speak of some false god's spies stirring up the smallfolk. The lords of the forest consider this to be encroaching on their domain, and are saddened by the aggresion of the younger races.

Could I please get the game suspended from 14:00GMT Wednesday 23 April until 14:00GMT Saturday 26 April as I am going away for 3 days.

Please let me know if this is ok as I will not have access to a computer in this time
