Hi Mike - keeping the thread alive, are you?
Actually, I would be a bit sad if this dropped all the way down the list - I guess I'm just being nostalgic.
About the problem - the Ashigaru Spearman, and other units are from the Extras included on the PtW disc, but you don't need to copy them into the DyP folder to make them work. All you have to do is open up your map in the editor and adding in the following in the Scenario Options/Scenario Search Folders box:
..\Extras\Medieval Japan\;Double Your Pleasure
This tells the game to look in the Extras folder first whenever it needs a file, then go on to the DyP folder if the file wasn't found and it will then by default continue to the PtW and finally the regular Civ3 folder to find the file. You only need to add the 'Double Your Pleasure part if your map is in a BIX that is not called Double Your Pleasure.
If this makes no sense, try opening the Double Your Pleasure.BIX in the editor and look in the scenario search box.
About joining CDGroup - I really have no idea why that happens? It sounds like maybe you've misspelled your email adress
but It's possible that there is an error. Try again, and if you fail again, send me an email (adress on the DyP site) and I'll contact the administrator unless I can add you in myself - I might be able to, but I haven't figured it out yet
).
You have to get in - we need more people testing v.0.90....
Thanks for the praise - I am sure we will not be able to cram in anymore techs than we have in v.0.90 - well not many more anyway
Edit: Ooops - forgot something in the Scenario Search Folders line above - it is now correct. Sorry, posting frenzy..
