New Kinda Noob game Starting

Ragnars: you need to unpack the .rar file (I don't know what kind of system you are using, but most modern systems will activate some kind of unpacking utility automatically if you click (or double click) on a compressed file.

Once it's unpacked you should have a Landoflegends folder which will contain a .map file. The .map file should be placed in your dominions map directory.

Hopefully that was clear enough.

I did double click on it and it asked me what I wanted to open it with (basically). When theat happens I never know what to do as the list they supply is pretty lame. So I just stuck it in my maps folder along with the Land of Legends map files.

If this doesn't work is there ay way it can be A ZIP FILE (Lol, I know how to hit extract)

Or bite the bullet and grab winrar (assuming you use windows or its simulators), you may run into more rar in the future:

I don't think Windows extracts .RARs natively, only .ZIP. Look up 7-zip, it's free, tiny and super easy to use. Once it's installed, all you need to do is right-click on the file and select "Extract here".

If you're on a Mac, Google suggests RARExpander, but I'm Mac illiterate so I don't know how practical it is.

I just went in and was setting up a game (for the first time) and the Cbm 1.6 comes with so many different things I am not sure which to use. The one I was going to use is CBM 1.6 indy commanders only. Any ideas? I am also going to put this on the forum and send to Groundworm as he has started a game.

Also, do I set a master Password?

im not sure on master password, ask him - but if your going to use CBM use the whole thing, I don't know what indie commanders only means, but may as well go full CBM or vanilla.

I set the game up with CBM 1.6 and EDM 1.1 as posted in the original thread by Ragnars Wolves. Request granted!

I think admin password would be advisable, since you have a co-admin there's no problem, or you can pass the torch (password) to a player if you can't admin.

Not sure on the settings as I have yet to host a game, I did take a look and promtly got confused too @.@
