Ascendant - Game On!

[lch]

In case you didn't get the email (Wrana, fix yours): Delete your old game files and connect again.

It seems to work, but everyone's troops are deserting because there's no gold. Can we try that again?

edit: the problem seems to be that provinces are all equal to 0 income

[lch]

Oops. Okay, I will try again. I'll have to be faster in convincing the game that it hasn't ended already...

Everybody, please delete all your savedgames files for Ascendant / Ascendancy.

[Renojustin]

Nice work! Tell us when we can reconnect again.

[Wrana]

And now wtf? Also, Ich, I usually just look at your stats page, so mail shouldn't be an issue... And my mailbox also has no your messages in spambox, too. So it's probably YOUR mailbox which needs rechecking..
And in case this will not have to be restarted (which I'm not against as I missed 2nd turn! ) -
R'lyeh - we do not need ye permission to do what we damn please, ye abomination!

About Claire - I've seen several times that the titles were given regardless of gender of Pretender in question as given in description... Probably either female-property was forgotten for some of those planned as female (as its main game effect is immunity to succubi... ) or title-giving doesn't look at it. I'm more inclined to think it's the first case.

A couple of provinces don't really connect like it looks like they're supposed to. Any way to straighten that out before you get the server back up?

[Wrana]

It's often the case with random map generator. Possibly with manually editing *.map file?

You can do that now. Remember to delete old game files first.

The message is bouncing back from your email server, see my quote. That means that it never touches your inbox or spam folder.

No. I wasted enough time on this as is. I'm not supposed to be patching the game while it's underway.

If the map generator uses the same algorithm for neighbor detection like the original fan made one it was based on, then that thing really sucks. I have coded something for this which I'll release later when I get to polish it a bit, but in any case these changes have to be applied before the game has started. After the game has started, the map graph goes into the fthrlnd file and the game ignores the .map.

Hey, you did it! Nice job man!!

lol wow- i didn't even realize all this had happened. I guess i got lucky and logged in after it was all resolved.
