[SPOILERS] PBEM 10 Lurker THREAD

[Woden]

You should be able to create the game and save it after opening to suboptimal's turn and just send the save. suboptimal then won't need the mod as it is just a save file.

[Emperor K]

Ok that will work, thanks woden.

[Emperor K]

Here is the starting save, everything looks ok to me is there any one who can take a look?

[Cornflakes]

I downloaded the save but was unable to load it in game. Additional content required: Play Your Custom Maps.

My post here: http://www.realmsbeyond.net/forums/showt...#pid654202 I link to a tool that I created which takes care of the SQLite and re-naming in 1 easy drag-and-drop. Then simply start a game like normal but select Earth as the map type (remember to still un-check the huts checkbox)

[Emperor K]

I do not have the game installed in the default directory.

Here is the map file. Is there any way you can get it to work, or give me some pointers.

[Cornflakes]

I do not have the game installed in the default directory.

Ah, that's a deal breaker as far as my tool is concerned   The prior posts in that same thread cover everything that you would need to do in order to manually make the edits if you want to explore that for the future. Give me a few minutes and I'll try setting up the starting save with the map file that you attached.

[Emperor K]

Yes I was able to make the edits a few versions back. Every time I had to make a world builder save I had to redo the sql changes. If I could have went back I would have but now my original is messed up. The mod is not a bad mod though if worst case I don't think they will mind downloading it. It does not even need to be enabled to work.

Bad saving the old files on my part I think.

I'm deriving some early amusement from the players commenting on Cornflakes' changes to the city states:

RFS-81:

The city placement is just pure trolling. It's not next to the oasis, but blocks of all city spots around it. When I don't need their culture anymore, I might be better off just razing this city state and placing a new city in the area.

shallow_thought:

Man, that's a rubbish city-state. Bad suzerain bonus, bad position for capturing (pre-Aqueducts, anyway) given that it's dry.

I also like how thorough everyone's reporting is so far. I feel like I have a really clear picture on this game.

[pindicator]

I think that's smart placement of city states. Players won't like it but it will eventually be a city you can capture instead of a city that you feel you have to capture in order to get ahead of a growth curve

[Chevalier Mal Fet]

Agreed. It was a good call.
