I think it gets that from the first part of the .2h file names. You might be able to add an "if Perpetuality" line.

Works like a charm. And seeing the line-up of 62 nations in the setup screen is a grand sight. Congrats to Velusion and the other people making this possible, a game this large is not a small feat.

...now if only the game would host, looking at the neighbouring provinces I'm actually terrified of the indy mousetrap I might be in... *jittery*

Default Problem

I have a problem: after choosing my nation I got the following error-message: "myloadmalloc: can't open ./mod/./sns3/ea_arco_icon.tga" although I downloaded the mod and enabled it. (doesn't work when I disable it either)

What's your operating system? Of course you can go to the mod folder and check whether you have the ea_arco_icon.tga in the sns3 folder. Does the mod work if you make a game of your own?

Wait for the scoreboard after the first turn processes. Seeing the weave of colors on the provinces or armies screen is really cool. Kindof like this

altho some improvements have been made in the display since that was taken.

The real headache of a game this big is that you have to manually create the game by the host "joining" as each of the nations. Thats the part that I dread.

Sounds like the nation icons are not in the correct place.

The file downloaded with the mod should be extracted to your dominions3 mods folder. Afterwards, the mods folder should contain the mod itself, Mega-Age.dm, plus two new folders, the Mega folder, which contains the megabanner and the sens folder, which contains all of the nations' banner info, one of which is the ea_arco_icon.tga

These folders are probably not in the right place.

Thanks everybody. Problem is solved. Somehow it hadn't created that sns-folder.

Turn done.

A few initial comments:

First, thanks to all the guys who worked to set this up!

Second, wow how much do you think the Shipwreckers will go for?

Third, Most important:

All the poor souls stuck in the middle need to form some kind of coalition to keep them from getting womped!

Anyone wishing to join the middle coalition please speak up!

Due to position, I have downgraded my survival goal to 30 turns.
