you should create a new folder, inside your saved games folder, with the name of the game: in this case Lets_Try_Again. than download the turn sent to you by llamaserver and copy it into the folder you just created. than open dominions3, make sure you're on vanilla setting, no CBM or other mods, than go to "play existing game" and click on "Lets_Try_Again". than it should tell you: Lets_Try_Again turn 1, click on it and start your turn.

you do the same process with each new turn sent to you by llamaserver.

did all that and nothing shows in the save game dir. i got vista , which is a real pain in the *** with this stuff, any ideas

[Krec]

did as you said and when i look for game its not listed.

[Krec]

i figured it out, this damn vista is a real pain, i got it now , GL

this is the best advise you'll get as far as computers go:
UNINSTALL vista and burn the vista CD! vista is evil, evil, EVIL! uninstall it, get rid of it and never see it again! go back to XP, it's the only safe Microsoft operating system. or even better, get Linux.

Or get 7 Also, I find it helpful to set a shortcut to my savegames folder on my desktop for sending the turns. Make sure to set dominions to run as administrator as well.
