Good to hear Loc, cheers!

Guys, like I already said in the beginning of this thread, it's probably a problem on my side: ....

Yeah, I saw that. And once I ran the mod on a brand new game and saw it ran perfectly, I was certain. The good news is, it gave me a few hours to play around with it and familiarize myself a small bit before the actual tournament started. Quite a mod. It's going to make for a difficult game I can tell already.

Okay, I uploaded a new savegame, please download the game again and see if it works now.

BTW, please make sure you actually re-download the savegame and not accidentally reuse the version in your browser-cash; unless you have a really fast connection, it should take at least several seconds to download the file (check the file date if needed: it should have been created on the 5th).

yeah... it a little late but i got that prob 2

anyway... i'll d/l it again

[Dread_Doomfist]

hmm..seems the new savegame works fine..no more probs with the science..but other probs..;-)

think..i need a reinstall of the game...the game crashed after saying "can't find *blabla*.tga"...have to much copying files from one folder to another and so...

ok..it's enough time to kick the highscore...

[Shadow]

I got mine to work no probs.

This time I'm going to go for a science victory. Not sure if I'll get there in time though, due to the slowed down nature of Cradle. We'll see...

How does everyone else intend on playing? Or what victory type are you going for rather?

Cheers, Shadow

[HuangShang]

tight
cant play untill tomorrow...

Downloaded and played the newly installed game about 80 turns with no problems. I will be going for a conquest victory.

I'm very impressed with the game so far. Are the diplomatic features modified at all?

[TheArsenal]

I loaded the game, and played a few turns to make sure it was okay. It's working fine.

Being new to this mod, especially with the revamped tech tree, its tough for me to figure out this early what the best strategy is. But I will probably go with my favored Diplomatic Victory strategy of establishing quick peace with the friendly nations and going to war with those who are not, until they accept an alliance or are destroyed. But based upon a "test" game I played for a few hours last night, the AI seems to have an aggressive military and expansion policy, so this will be a tough haul.

I'm very impressed with this mod. Too early to tell, but could be my favorite so far.

yeah...very aggressive...so less goodies in the ruins..mostly barbarians.....hard to play...in 4000 BC..the cyprus stands in front of my main-town with a 8-stack army...

[TheArsenal]

Just a clarification on my posting above. When I say I played a "test game" I mean different game with different settings to familiarize myself with the mod. Once I start a tournament game, I don't believe in "replaying" turns and such.

[Shadow]

This is the best game ever!!!

I'm seriously about to get my butt kicked though... these guys just don't want to talk.

I'm spreading my cities out quite widely to they can grow to HUGE sizes. Few problems with the method so far, but I'm slowly getting there.

Science Victory here I come!!!

[Shadow]

Don't get the AI mad... or you cop this...



The AI is getting harsh on me now, picking of cities at will, roaming 12 stacks all over the place! There's really not much I can do about it. I can't stand up to them militarily (yet), and diplomacy is become increasingly useless...

All in all... GREAT GAME!
Just hope I survive...

[Maquiladora]

That doesnt look too good Maybe you shouldnt have took those slaves.

[Dread_Doomfist]

yeah...have 9 citys...and fight for my life against the persians in the east and the etruscer in the west...looks not so good..but now i have hoplites for a better town-defense and archer....knock back many of the intruders mostly 8-9-stack-armys...and i'm allied with the greeks...

anyone able to build more then 2 wonders between 7000 BC and 1350 BC....??
