Never mind - I figured it out. It was hidden in a folder I never would have thought of because I have Vista.

It's funny, I use Vista but the files go where they "ought" to go. But yeah, I guess for others Vista puts them under the user folder or some such.

Okay, well, we've no takers yet as alternates, so I'll assume we'll be playing with 22 players. We're just waiting on 6 more pretenders and then we'll get this show on the road.

I think it depends on where you tell Vista to install it. If you take the defaults, it does the weird thing.

I agree it's time to get the game going. I'm a little uncomfortable starting as the only water nation in that large an ocean. What do you think of changing the water start location to one of the smaller lakes in the lower right of the map? And maybe breaking the connection between them? That way I'll be forced to start fighting land nations early.

Of course, if everyone's okay with the current setup, I'm fine with it. 80+ water provinces with no real opposition? I'll just have no excuse when I get slaughtered.

I'll put my pretender in tonight. I was waiting to see if we'd get another water nation.

Do you still need another player? I'd happily join the game!

Yes, we need another water nation. Rl'yeh and Oceania are the choices. If you want to join us, your welcome. We're still getting our pretenders into Llamaserver.

I'll take Ryleth and submit my pretender now

Good man! [You're a man right ...? Sorry if not. Internets and such.]

Welcome aboard, Ossa.

It seems the Deep Ones will have a rival in the seas after all. That will make our conquest more ... satisfying.

Firewalker: Is it worth editing the map for only 2 water starts, or should we just go with it? If one of us gets the middle location, they'll have a much larger backfield to expand into. I'm fine with it either way. If you can't change it without restarting the game on llamaserver, I guess it's not worth it.

Pretender's sent and ready to go!

I was having similar thoughts and was attempting to ignore them. But, now they have been validated by someone else. I'll look into it. I am thinking it shouldn't be a big deal unless for some reason we'd have to send the pretenders in again.

BTW, there're four people who need to send in pretenders yet. I suppose I'll need to look up who they are and bug them by PM soon.

Alpine Joe · #99 June 3rd, 2009, 10:55 PM

I am one of those 4, but unfortunately I won't be able to submit my pretender until tomorrow afternoon. Its gonna be a good one though.....

Does anyone know offhand whether it is actually necessary for the players to have a copy of the .map file on their local computers?
