The Early Days. Game running.

[shard]

Phew almost missed the turn. For some reason I can't seem to get the game running on my laptop at home without it looking for the ma_ryleh.tga file or something, had to drop by the office.

On the other hand prime Shedu beef is delicious, especially when it has been raised with large dosages of astral salts and liberal helpings of chunky earth.

The prophet scout sent to us wasn't as palatable, but our eagle warriors didn't particular care as they tore him apart.

Man. Am I being punished for starting in between hinnom and neifel or something? I have one of the largest quantities of land, but practically no income. And I can guarantee, that is not the fault of my scales. Almost every province I've taken has less than 3k pop . Too late to complain I guess, but it would have been nice to have some sort of compensation for starting in one of the most dangerous positions on the map. I guess I should just be grateful I am not mictlan.

Yes be grateful - whoever gets this juicy spot is cornered between the sea and two of the 'powers'.

However do come west, while Hinnom and I are running troops past each other rushing and counter-rushing, i'm sure he wouldn't miss a few of his many outlying provinces. Theres no cow to graze on them anymore anyway.

That sounds like a R'yleh map icon issue to me. Have you checked to see if you have the "standards and streamers" and/or "llamabanners" mods installed on your laptop? Or indeed all the mods for this specific game that could have changed the default R'yleh icon?

If all else fails, then perhaps just copy the entire contents of your Dominions folder at work onto your laptop. Dominions is not a harddrive hungry game, so it should easily fit onto a 1GB USB stick.

But either way don't suffer with this problem, as it should be an easy enough thing to solve with a little feedback and help (from any of the many helpful souls on these forums )
