I've got an error when trying to create one of the custom pretenders, or to launch a new game with this nation :

"random name: no name"

[Nounours]

OK, bug fixed (well... normally)

Try to download it again, the new attachment is the corrected version. Should work now...

[Endoperez]

Good progress there! I'll try the nation, but I'll probably play against it (as AI) rather than with it.

[Nounours]

I'm expecting your comments & advices, so let me know if there are any problems or suggestions.

[Sombre]

As soon as I get the lizards released I'll give this a go properly.

I think you should provide a graphical preview in this thread and repackage in a zip format. The current rar is actually packed with a directory structure which doesn't allow you to simply extract to dom3/mods. Also people don't like rars.

If you do this you're much more likely to get feedback. Anyway, I'll continue with my SP playing now.

[Nounours]

Well, I will prepare a graphic overview for this mod, and see if I can repack it using zip. Thanks for the advice !

[Sombre]

Oh and I forgot to mention, I had to rename a load of sprite references to get them working, because the modified o in Bohdpa etc came out as .. in my filenames when I extracted.

I think you should probably avoid using these in sprite names and sprite references, because they're bound to cause trouble for some people like me. Using them in descriptions and names is fine though.

- revised description of Citipati.
