Game of the Month - III Edition

[sezoN]

Hey all! I've got great pleasure to introduce you all a III Edition Game of the Month. February is first in III Edition, so now you can start play with us! It's time to play in modern ages, you will command German nation and your goals are.. Check it here! Good luck!

You can see how global ranking looks after two editions. It would be very nice to see other nations in that ranking after III Edition.

Best regards,
sezoN

sezoN,

This looks like fun. I downloaded the game... but how do you open an RAR file ? Also, I am confused about some rules ... for example, do you really play in multiplayer mode ?

[La Fayette]

Same question as Peaster: how do we open your .rar game?

[Scouse Gits]

.rar is a compacted format (like .zip) - very popular in europe - you can open it using WinRar - a utility very similar to WinZip - which is freely (as shareware) available on the Web - just do a quick search for winrar (or winarj - another similar utility which deals with .arj as well as .rar & .zip)

SlowThinker would like this one - rehoming caravans is not banned...

[La Fayette]

Thank you, Stu
I downloaded Winrar and it worked

Perhaps I shall rehome a few caravans in memoriam XinYu and SlowThinker

Helper programs, black-clicking and other tricks don't seem to be forbidden either... but I won't go that far

[La Fayette]

BTW XinYu is back, at least on the OT forum.
He has started a thread named "if Darwin was correct", which I enjoy reading (though it's mostly nice words ... as usual on the OT ).

LaFayette, is it possible to post a 4000BC save in regular format on this forum?

I am not sure I understand your question.
AFAIK you can post any save (max size = 500 000 bytes) as attached file.

La Fayette,

If I may...I believe Grigor was being overly indirect and that a likely restatement from him might be...
"La Fayette, will you please repost the "unzipped" opening here as a .sav.?. Thanks."

Assumes this is a language/misunderstanding problem....

[La Fayette]

Thank you, Monk!

[Grigor]

Thanks LF.

Peaster and La Fayette, of course Scouse Gits has right, *.rar is similar to *.zip and it's very popular in europe. For others who's can't open it. Here it's oficial site of WinRar program. currenty in 3.42 release. - http://www.rarlab.com/

Rehoming isn't forbiden and black-clicking either but that second can really spoil your fun.

By the way, for what you want GotM in simple *.sav mode? Only in *.net file it's useful. So better download it from original address or attach here full *.rar file.

Peaster but why multiplayer mode is confuse for you?

[Peaster]

sezoN,

I got winrar and have opened the start.net file, so I guess I am ready to play. But I am surprised that we are supposed to play a single-player game in multiplayer mode.... (why do it that way?). Also,

** I guess we need to save the game when we defeat the Mongols, or achieve any other goal, to prove when we did it?

** I looked at the rules.txt file. Hope that is OK.

** We want the Americans to have a lot of cities at THE END of the game, right?

I am going to try to zip the necessary files and post them here [fingers crossed]. You need MGE to play, and must open the start.net file in MP mode.

I know that you have it but someone else maybe don't. What about MP mode, so it is easier to check final scores, especially when some of goals are depends on number of cities ect. ect. And it's our standard, some kind of our GotM tradition.

Yes, as I wrote here, you should send me every save of bonus that you claim for.

It's no problem at all.

Yes, you should keep so many American cities as you can.

I would add something. You should start from read the main rules.

By the way, I'm very pleased that you've decided to try it! I'am curiouse how you will stand in future rank. After game it would be very nice if you write some thing about it on our forums Wish you luck

P.s.
sorry for my poor english
