Awestruck. New Late Age game. (Game over, Atlantis wins)

I cant get the map to run - can someone post me a link to the correct .tga file?

The one in the OP is correct, you just have to rename it to what the game tells you it can't find.

[himselfbh]

just rename the map file to RiverLandsNoStart ~

Oh, one more thing I should mention, The Chalice is 5N 4N, which means it costs 40N + 25N. The issue is the game checks those values separately, so if you have 40N gems the game checks and sees you have 40, then checks and sees you have 25 and sees you have 25, and so allows you to forge the item. HOWEVER it isn't that big a deal because it then subtracts all of the 65 gems, leaving you at -25N.

Unfortunately there isn't a way around this and the 65N cost is intentional, so I recommend the admin issue a rule/clarification on whether people should be allowed to go into negative gems.

Thanks (again) for the heads up, hadn't noticed that yet. In fairness, as you pointed out, I don't see any big issue here. I like to keep big admin pronouncements for things that actually matter, so have at it and forge your chalices whenever you like I'd say.

In other news, Kakarotto let me know he was out of town for an unspecified length of time, and KeithZ will take over for T'ien Ch'i for as long as is needed.

Sorry for the hold up. Some madman tore up some cables in the building so I had no internet until now.
Lucky me the first turn is on 48 hours.

Damn! In my entire Dominions career I haven't renamed a commander once, but if I had noticed the name of my starting somethingorother before profetizing him I seriously would have.

I might be mistaken, but I'm afraid a prophet with a name like Nini will not add anything positive to the image projected by the one true Siluyatok, the Persuasive One, Lord of the Hierarchs, Guardian of the Law, Prince of Writing and Speach...

It is quite fitting for a scout, even if he does own a tent. I'm amazed your people even know writing, let alone have a patron god for it.

Hey! Our civilisation is easily as old and as advanced as yours, you know. And given that we can grow almost 20 times as old as your younglings, I would hazard the guess that we remember a lot more of that fabled (if also somewhat faded) ancient civilisation than you do.

Ah, you see: that's where the writing comes in.

On clay tablets of course, not this newfangled "paper" stuff. That catches fire if you so much as look at it in the wrong way.
