New Shahrivar game, not on Mosehansen

Hmm. Think everyone will need the map file, attached to this post, since I gave it a new name so I wouldn't overwrite Sachka's original one.

It is not needed, no matter what you did to it. The .map file only creates the game, and sets the name of the .tga file... which incidentally allows the game creator to do some mischief with it. In KOTH, I used a theater6.map file, and everything worked fine without having it.

If you have changed the name of the .tga file, the players will have to do the same on their end, but that's the only problem I can think of.

Ah, cool. I had thought that the .map file was at least required for the local client to know the neighboring province scheme.

The neighbouring provinces seem to be kept in the .trn file themselves (explaining why turn files for turn 1 are already 36 kb big). I guess that's a good thing too, as otherwise a player could alter neighbouring provinces on the local computer... though it could be avoided by using a check of some sorts.

I put you guys back on a 24hr timer. Let the turns flow...

Added server / port information, and nations / players to the first post in the thread for quick easy reference.

And, we're only waiting on some Mainiac to take his turn.

[PashaDawg]

This Mainiac has taken his turn.

New turn up!

All turns uploaded except Pyth, it seems.
