Well, statistically it will slow down somewhat, but it's impossible to know how much. If we're everyone in the same timezone otherwise, but the new players are in totally different ones, obviously the change is much larger than if we're already distributed well across the Earth.

Ok, I'm having a bit of a problem with the technical end of things. I can't seem to find the "savedgames" folder in my dominions3 directory where the file for my pretender should be. I see the 'battlemaps', 'doc', 'maps', and 'mods', 'rawsound' and 'tutdata' folders, but not 'savedgames' where the pretender file is supposed to be. Anyone know what the problem is?

Are you playing with mac or windows?

My guess is you haven't created your pretender with the separate tool for it inside the game. Launch the game, then Game Tools -> Create a Pretender God

After you're done, the game should create a folder called savedgames and there's a "newlords" folder where your god is.

Which would imply you haven't made a single normal game on your computer either, so there's no save folder.

Can't think of anything else at the moment.

Try making a filler game with something in it, then use the tool to create your god.

I did create it with the game tool. And I have made several normal SP games, which save and load normally, so obviously there is a savedgames folder SOMEWHERE on my PC, I just don't know where.

If I can't fix the problem soon, I'll try an uninstall/reinstall.

My vote is definetly to add the 2 and go the bigger map. If Holey wants TC I'll be happy to take Caelum instead!

[schoelle]

Larger map and 2 more is fine with me. The game was marked as slow anyways.

it's probably the Windows7 / Vista issue where saved games and pretenders are stored in another directory from the installation one. You shouldn't need to reinstall.

Look at the top of the second post in Edi's FAQ for more info

Thanks, that allowed me to find it. The previous games of D3 I played were before I upgraded to Vista, so this is the first time I've had to deal with this issue.

New players are fine, but def bigger map.
