Re: Weak pretenders game
You'll need to download the attached map, which was generously provided by Gandalf using the mapgen generously provided by Paradoxbringer.
Sorry for the delay; finding housing for my little bro has been exhausting and my PI (boss) just got back from vacation, so I've been a bit swamped. The map is attached - you will need it to play. I'm not 100% pleased with the graphic changes I made on this one but at least it should be possible to tell the terrains apart easily.
I picked this map because it has a lot of choke points, which pleases me.
I'll upload pretenders and then switch over to e-mails for all the players as soon as llamabeast sets up the game. Thanks to llamabeast for providing the hosting and e-mail server.
We'll start with a 48hr quickhost in case people have problems, and then move to 24 hrs until a war starts, at which point I'll move back to 48, unless that seems unreasonable to anyone?
Good luck (or bad luck, if you get my pretender design)!
I'm a little drunk, hopefully I didn't forget anything.

Nice choices. Were the colors OK for recognition?
I particularly like what you did for subtle recognition of "farmland". I need to remember that one.

Re: Weak pretenders game
Okay, the game should be started and the turn files should ship shortly. Let me know if you don't get a turn file, or if I messed up horribly and gave you the God you designed  .

Re: Weak pretenders game
I got my turn file, but I can't get the map to work.. It doesnt show up when I try to start a new game either, but the files are there, just like with all other new maps

Re: Weak pretenders game
It may be a macintosh issue, as you're playing on a Mac. Maybe it can't read the text file? Try opening the .map file in notepad and then saving it again.
