When I tried to open the save I got the dreaded "Failed to load. This is not a save file.

Someone else report please.

Argh!
I really hope that it works for someone because I haven't got the save any more. I definitely checked that I could open it when I'd finished playing and saved it, but we're in trouble if no-one can open it.

Not so fast there, speedy.

The barracks part of the remark should have indicated I was speaking of units available in the build queue. But if that exploring NON dragoon makes you feel stronger and safer start a war with the Greens.

Need some miltech. (Stealing Leadership for instance)

Oh, dear.

It won't load for me either. And the file seems to be too small for this game - @48Kb versus @450Kb. I thought it might be zipped, but renaming it to .zip didn't work.

Do you have any autosaves?

Never mind, you don't, because the game gets uninstalled every Monday, right? Tell me I'm not right...

[-Jrabbit]

Yeah, bad file. should be a 450k .sav or a 38k-ish .zip

[Elephant]

Might it still be in the Recycle Bin?

[Scouse Gits]

Unfortunately it does appear to be a Civ .sav file - or rather the beginning of one ...

[Bloody Monk]

Looking at the 1580 save and thinking forward....

It might be a good idea to boost lux to 30% so the Charybdis elvis can work the sea. This will allow the food box to fill a bit before the coming revolution to avoid stravation. Likewise, The Institute will need a harbor at size three or it too will starve during a revolt.

With so few cities every pop. point is important.

I'm afraid that I won't even have any autosaves because I turn that off, and just play from the disk these days, rather than installing and uninstalling every time. I have no more record of the game I'm afraid.
It seems that someone (Stray?) will just have to replay all of the turns. The fact that I've explored won't help me at all because it'll be ages before I get the game back again.



I'm just off to cry in the corner. Sorry everyone.

Straybow -- if you can't get to this soon, let me know (since the Jedi is occupied elsewhere) as I might be next. I'll be hosting family for a long (maybe week+) Thanksgiving holiday & my participation for the week following is iffy.

I can jump in today, Wednesday & Thursday AM, but after that...

(STYOM -- if the Duke's mixup isn't settled, maybe I should jump in tonight & carry the ball from La Fayette's save & Straybow or the Duke can play this weekend from there (?))

[Six Thousand Year Old Man]

Unfortunately, it seems you're right, duke. I'm more worried about Stray (and others) benefiting from your log than you doing so, though.

Hopefully Straybow sees this and can pick up La Fayette's save without perusing the details of your turns.

Straybow had wanted to play, and he had been skipped before. OTOH, he hasn't posted since the weekend. So, give him until tomorrow (Wednesday), and then if he hasn't posted some intention to play, you should play your turns, OnS.

No, I shan't be playing again next weekend because I'm engaged in the technical department of the Institute for the next couple of weeks testing the boffins' new automatic butt-kicking engine. While all this is going on, I'll have to watch Clockwork Orange-style news footage of Civ games being saved until it is imprinted in my mind.
The game now goes to Stray who will be under great pressure to get the Statue (again ) and just maybe protect the rabbit's tail from Scouse buckshot. I managed to get the Statue, so it is possible, and will only require the spending of lots of cash at the right time. Go Stray!
