To confirm, your version *is* different. It should be OK for me, because I don't think the fixed neighbors thing is affecting my first turn, but people should make sure to use the one Austen uploaded if they can't get the one from tnnet.fi!

ironically in what could go wrong game...i have downloaded this map from 3 different sources, and every time i click on play turn one, it dumps me onto my desktop and says i do not have streamlands

Did you download from the post immediately above. That one worked good for me.

I looked at the files and I seem to be missing a fthrlnd file and a 2h file. Where do I get those.

This FAQ should tell you everything you need. The 2h file is generated when you take your turn I believe.

Don't know about the ftherland file. I didn't need it for my turn.

I think the fthrlnd thing is for the home computer allowing it to host turns.

Before putting the trn file into the folder do I have to make any changes to it?

Also I think my computer is weird. It has split the dominions 3 directory into two parts and uses them both.

I think that file is for single player games.

I am going to turn off the autohost to make sure everyone has time to get this turn in, then I will turn it back on.

One other thing I mentioned before.. when you run Dom 3, right click it and choose "Run as administrator". That seems to effect how saves are handled.

Heh.. right as I went to change the interval you submitted so I guess you figured it out

Is anyone interested in doing an AAR of this? I'm sure this would be good for the veterans out there to laugh at.

I would be willing to contribute, or even write one with others' input. It could be published with a delay of a certain large number of turns (to make it spoiler-free), or be done after the game ends if people are willing to make writeups/take screenshots during.

Also, Austen, you might want to change the thread title to be '[in progress]'.
