I am much too much of a greenie to give lessons about downloading.
Anyway, here is what I have understood: to play this scenario, you need to download the scenario itself (you must have done that since you were the one who started the game). Then you download the savegame you are willing to play now, and the savegame must be at the same address (in the same directory) as the scenario.
Perhaps your problem now is not that one. Perhaps it is the reverse of the problem I met when trying to play, namely the slight difference between the English and the French version of the game. Julius has found a solution which allowed him, then me, to play 10 turns each. Perhaps it is necessary to apply that also when coming back to the English version. Unfortunately, Julius is on holiday.
IMO, here is what can be done:
1) You check whether the savegame is in the same directory as the scenario.
2) If yes, and if problems are still there (strong units and the like) you ask SG1.
3) If SG1 has no solution, we wait until Julius comes back (we can also write to the author; he gave an address somewhere, I am sure).

I can also try to send you the files that Julius sent me.
Let me know.

[kcbob]

I can get close but not all the way to loading the game correctly. Ecthelion, if you'd like to take my place, please feel free to give it a shot.

Sorry, guys.

[Rasputin]

No more for me plese

sorry guys, this is way beyond my ablity to endure. I just downlaoded the file and played from where it was and found due to the changes in graphics and not knowing what to build because i dont the what unit is what i couldnt plan ahead.
I obviously dont play like you guys, you had london maxed out on science with food caravans arriving, i stuffed that up first turn before relaising what the food caras were for and how to deliver them properly. Whilts i would love to be able to continue to paly and learn, i feel that my ineptness will only detract from the game and ruin it for all of you.

so i hereby regretfully resign...

1) About the settings in London ('starving city' with food caravans coming in from other cities), I chose to send my savegame in a 'half-starving' situation to show how it works. You can either make the city starve more, hiring new specialists in order to increase science or gold, or make it stop starving (for example choose settings that give at least one food in excess; in that case the food caravans can be used to go on increasing the size of the city swiftly).
2) About downloading
Did you get a game that looked 'normal' (without strange units or other oddities)?
3) About your resigning
Of course you are free to resign if you don't feel like playing this game any longer. But if the reason is that you don't want to spoil the game for us, please don't be afraid to go on. This is a succession game and anyone of us knows that he might be somewhat surprised by the savegame he receives.

(La Fayette, asking Raz to go on)

LaFayette - as noone else appearz to have done so - yes your zip file worked fine - thanks
Raz - do continue, if you feel that you made an unholy mess of your turn - why not start those ten turns over again with a little hindsight we can all improve - we are all learning this game I assure you, just because some of us seem a little further on the learning curve than others is not a cause for despair, rather a hope for improvement -- by the bye you areby far the most experienced MPer here - so we look to learn somethings from you!
kc - as long as you unzip the save game into the same directo0ry as you have the scenario files (rules.txt, units.gif etc) there should be few problems

all - off on holiday - to France - for a fortnight - consequently out of the loop - feel free to miss out my turn rather than hold up the game ....

I tried to download into the same directory and I did lose the carriers, bombers, et al. But I also lost the new city improvements pertaining to the scenario. I'll give it another try tonight but don't wait on me. Let someone else, Ecthelion?, go ahead and move on. If I get if figured out by my next turn, I'll jump back in.

And Rasputin, the fun of a succession game is to see how other players handle situations and give them (and yourself) a hard time in your posted narratives. Hang in there, buddy.

Gets up for one more effort

ok guys i will try again, but forgive me if i set you back a few turns...


And as for MP. nothing in MP can prepare you for SP ... In MP the ability to negotiate is the highest , unless you playing boring Duels ... But in REAL MP.. Diplomacy is king ...

You are forgiven, Raz.
I suppose that all the other advisers will be happy to see you have a second try (and King Apolyton V is not a ruthless despot; I bet he will say thank you for your advice).
(why not have a try at bribing those barb cities in the east, for example?). No, no: this is a succession game. You do precisely what you like, Raz.
Burn the heathens!

After a full week of great vacations, I am back
I didn't find the "trésor des templiers", but it was cool
How's the game proceeding ?
LaFayette has made us rich
And now

Dommage pour le trésor! (il paraît qu'il va être converti en euros)

About the game, it seems that kcbob met huge technical problems and decided to give up (hopefully only for this turn).
Rasputin was also about to give up, but decided to have a second try. I suppose he's playing it now, but there is no hurry since the SGs are next on the list and they are on vacation (also in France, but a bit farther away from the treasury ).
Meanwhile SG2 and Marquis de Sodaq have started their own games and played about 50 turns each. I found it fun and started mine. I have played over a century now: TOUGH .

(I don't wish to tell the details now, but I am convinced that it will be fun to compare our strategies)

[Rasputin]

replays

just been replaying the same game a few time sguys, will post the final version tomorrow for the game to continue ..


PS. Wishing I could join the SGs in PAris, seems like fun !!!

[kcbob]

I'm still around and following the thread/logs. I still haven't succeeded in loading the game but then, I haven't tried all that much. I'll give it another shot and hopefully be ready for the next time around. Until then, death to the infidels!!!
