The Gods envy us.
They envy us because we are mortal, because any moment might be our last.
Everything is more beautiful because we are doomed.
You will never be lovlier than you are now.
I don't own RTW: Alexander, will that be a problem for me installing the mini-mod?
Not at all. The minimod works just fine for RTW.exe. I think that just part of the minimod allows you to use ALX.exe...not necessarily make you use it.
Also, I am vouching for using the phalanx mod and the city mod for the minimod pack. I know that the city mod should be unanimous but I understand that there was some objection to the phalanx mod.
As for difficulty, I agree we can use H/M.

I wanted to use BI but I understand not many people own any of the expansion discs so I just said RTW.exe. Sorry

13.Post here in this thread with red letters notifying me of your completion
Erm... my pack overwrites it and makes the next steps irrelevant

Can't wait to start!
(btw I would like to play as Getai in case you didn' see my post from the other thread)
Skullheadhq - I didn't know that. You get a balloon for all of your contributions
davepyne - Welcome to the game. Now dave, remember that every new player causes us to rewrite the genericScript. So, re-download the generic script from the first post and put it in the folder. That goes for everyone.
This is turning out to be quite a game...even before we start

There is a problem in the EBBS_SCRIPT: ";Section 2h: Sweboz Reform" is missing a semi-colon before the word "section". I fixed it in mine.
Thanks for the info. I actually took out the old Sweboz reforms and replaced it with the new after talking with bovi. I will update the minimod yet again
Also, Skullheadhq, I was looking over the genericScript that I downloaded from you. Did you use the turn order found in the minimod folder? Without it, the script will skip players and stuff so it won't work properly.
If you did I must have looked at the wrong one or something...but don't worry about it. I am generating the new script as I speak.

I see you've started this game but don't seem to have finished the first turn yet. Would there be any way for me to join you as the Sweboz? I don't think I'd have any problems modding my EB (though I might reinstal it from scratch just to make sure) And I understand with the current economics I might be in for a slow start.
Or would I be really too late
There he goes. One of God's own prototypes. Some kind of high powered mutant never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die.
No no, you can jump in now (AFAIK, that door never closes). You'll even get to do your first turn (and you would be no worse off than you'd be in SP.)
It's good to have another player in Europe. (Just don't ever think about coming to Gaul! )
Viking, Let's do it this way.
Hax just do add_money -2700 so you get 3000mnai again.
Upload the save(you already did that)
Play on.
PS: I forget the CAMPAIGN_SCRIPT.TXT. Fixed that now so we can play on!
