I'm afraid I have a problem. Surprised?

Your Scenario runs fine but I cannot load the savegame. It just crashes CTP and brings my machine down with it.

I'll reset everything and try all I can think of but does an immediate solution spring to mind?

I don't think the problem is the scenario it self but it's CTP pbem and scenario.
To load a saved pbem game (*.csg), copy the *.csg file to a folder bellow \ctp_program\ctp\save\games\
You must load Apolyton pack with this scenario first. Launch a normal game, select this scenario, click run. If you are able to see some civilizations like Aztecs or Celts it means that Apolyton Pack is loaded. Then, select load game and select the *.csg file.

You can find more information on Apolyton Pack readme file.

Well,

I try to load jon's turn. It also crashs on my computer.
Moreover, when I try to load Tilemacho turn, there are some slic errors.
This computer isn't the one I use to create the game. This evening I will try to load it on the other computer. May be the configuration is not the right one on the other computer.

Bad news: these game is down
Good news: I met Jon by ICQ and we play 2 turns without any problem. May be there are some differences in Tilemacho's CTP, that's why the game crashed.
I will create 3 games (2 human players) and I will send it to Tilemacho, Swissy and Don to test compatibility between us.
If you meet an other player by ICQ soon, could you do the same thing ?

Very good news:
I succed in loading all games I sent to you yesterday night, and I think I understood why the game crashed on one of my computer. (slic error 'notifyCaravans' not found, etc...)
My packlist was not good: 5 for 6 folders

Now I must verify if we could add a scenario under Apolyton when a pbem was design using an other number of scenario. I mean that my quickstart is scen0004. What's happen if I add a scen0005 ?
