I'm having some problems uploading the save game to the Poly server.

I will post below when this situation has been fixed.....

Thank you for your patience.

[RobWorham]

Poly uploader is still playing up, but we found a workaround that enabled us to get the saves up and running!!!!

Apologies for the delay, and have fun!!!!

I tried to load the save and I get this message:

'The save file you have selected is protected to ensure that the assets in you mod folder have not been changed.'

Anything to do with patch 3.17 ?

the screen then disappears., with brief glimpse of message 'load fails'.

[RobWorham]

Yes, these games were created using 3.13. If you are running 3.17 then you'll have to sit this game out I'm afraid..........

[Carch]

While I'm tempted to re-load the game from CD, I think I'm going to have to sit this one out, since Steam decided to auto-update me even after I told it not to.

Good luck

Finished. I'm not bothering to send a save file as I was crushed by a Zulu/Greek alliance in 1800 AD. :-(

So that makes three games in a row I've been destroyed (Game 17 wasn't looking hopeful, either).

Maybe Game 19 will turn out better?

[RobWorham]

It's always worth sending in a losing save. You never know, it might just win the round!!!

[Nugog]

This game is over!

Results soon.
