you are forwarding several saves to me, this order must seem un-natural :0

Yes, you are my "go-to" guy in so many PBEMs, I have to remind myself that "The Randomiser" has changed everything -- even the order!!!

[Paddy]

indeed


Ok, this game can be upgraded to 1.22

with great thanks to Alexman.

there is some mucking with biq files.

I am happy to do the game files upgrade to get this game from 1.15 to 1.22

all it then needs is for each of you to load the 1.22 upgrade\

interested???

[bongo]

I have a small number of other PBEMs going as well, all at 1.15b.

How do we do it, do we have to do those dual install thingies?

[Paddy]

there is a thread operating with all the guff from Alexman

I will try to find it again

Does 1.22 need the previous installation of 1.20?

[bongo]

Nah, think it will work fine on a basit v1.0 install

[Paddy]

unfortunatley the upgrade 1.15 to 1.22, that I was trying, does not work...

from Alexman - on the other thread
Your "1.15 to 1.22" install is the 1.22 executable with the conquests.biq, conquests.mb, and civilopedia.txt from 1.15, right?

This install is so that you can play 1.15 saves using the 1.22 executable, but these games will still not be able to be played on pure 1.22. Is that what you want to do? If so, I don't have any suggestions, other than manipulating the saves using a savegame editor or some

[Iron Jackson]

My upgrade didn´t work too. Even worse, it destroyed my whole Civ-installation. Thanks to XP it took only 5 min. to restore the old configuration. Had to make a complete new installation to upgrade to 1.22 .

[Paddy]

ouch

glad all is well in the end

[bongo]

So we're running on 1.22 now?

[Paddy]

no v1.15

this game can not be upgraded yet

-------------------

there is a suggestion, that if we do want we could restart it in v1.22, then we take all the same settings, we just start with several settlers, some workers, a warrior or 2 and some startup cash

[ChrisiusMaximus]

The save has not arrived could you resend please

[Johann Moritz]

Resent.

Can someone refresh my memory? 1.15 required 1.12 to be previously installed to work, didn't it?
I'm trying to explain the patch issue to a friend so we can multiplay, and I can't remember this

[ChrisiusMaximus]

Yes I think that is right Johann the 1.15 needed the 1.12 tio be there

turn sent to Shogun

[bongo]

Well, almost correct. There are two 1.15b patches out there, one requires the older patches to be there(1.12b,1.13b), the other is bigger and works directly on the 1.00 install.
