    I'm not sure that our team did it the right way.
    Frankly, nye's post puzzled me. How do I "load a savegame in MP mode"? The only way to load a PBEM game for me seems to be through the regular Main Menu, Load Game. The guide specifically says PBEM games are to be loaded this way.

        Did you do the 'Set location to Local' step?

        We've been playing a PBEM amongst ourselves and someone else couldn't get NYE's instructions to work. Missing that location step was the problem.

            Nope, sorry, did nothing like that. I have just tried to go to the MP setup screen to see, but I do not seem to get any Load button there - I can set the Location to Internet or Local, but it does not matter.

            Can you tell me what EXACTLY is one supposed to do when loading a PBEM savegame? I am definitely not technically disabled, but let's assume I am - it may be something unbelievable stupid...

            What I did was:

            launched Civ3 PtW 1.14f
            from the Main Menu, clicked "Load Game"
            selected the savegame and loaded it
            set up the password for our team
            played the turn
            saved the game
            emailed the save to nye

            This is what my printed guide told me to do. Or, what I supposed it was telling me...

            Where exactly I was supposed to do things differently?

              It's ok, this is what I have been doing for a couple weeks now and I never experienced any problems.

                It maybe wrong, but that's exactly what I did also.

                    I did the same thing, except I sent to it to Flash at the end. You all sent it to NYE?? Apparently it is wrong - IF you do not have 1.14. (A bug in earlier versions.)

                      Ahhh... could it be that someone used 1.04f to play the turn? flash or CiverDan?

                      Eli, did you play the turn again on 1.14f?

                        Nope.

                        As I said, I have been always opening games from the main menu. I've been doing it in :
                        1) Games started and played with 1.04f.
                        2) Games started with 1.04f, where all players but me upgraded to 1.14f.
                        3) Games started with 1.14f where all players but me upgraded to 1.14f.
                        And now :
                        4) Games started with 1.14f where all players including myself had 1.14f.

                        Some of those games have AP, some dont, but I NEVER experienced this or any other problem.

                            Someone said that doing that manner for others PBEM games, the level of the game was reset to Chieftain.

                            And maybe the "Accelerated production effect" is another bug caused by this way to load a multiplayer game.

                              Well, then, let's see what comes from Lux Invicta... I just hope they make it in time. I will be AFK this evening, from about 6pm to 11pm my time (which is GMT+2). If they send it while I am away, I will play the turn as soon as I come back to my machine, some time around midnight my time. Either way, nye should get the savegame from us today.

                                Describe in full detail, please. How do I load a PBEM game using the "NYE method"?
