Hey cseanny - what were you trying to do there? Sounds like you were trying to open someone's save. I assume you have BUFFY installed. Did you follow the recommend steps for BUFFY on the HOF site?

Seems I recall that issue when opening a BUFFY save you did not create. I think it is indicative of having something setup that is slightly different, like maybe having the BULL DLL active. BULL DLL will work if active if you generate your own BUFFY save, but it will conflict with other saves that have Lock Modified Assets on, which all do here. So I usually just switch back to the vanilla DLL for BUFFY games. That's the only thing I can think of right now without knowing more about what you are trying to do.

@Dohh
The player goes before the AI. WvO won in 1935. Your SS would have arrived in 1936. Check the logs to confirm.

Just submitted an 1826AD for this. Missed Mids (although conquered later) and conquest was almost non-existent pre-cuirs (darned AP peace deals), so this date can def be destroyed. Got really lucky with my chain-GA timing. No calculations and my 48-turn GA had one turn left when I launched spaceship.

I played a high food start with no shinies. I wonder if they are needed for good dates as it's hard to get enough food to work them. Also, my tech opening was Myst, Med, PH, Writing. Never did that before...

First time I've played boreal. It's quite an experience... Production actually ends up okay in late game.

Accepted...but ineligible. You forgot to play without huts.

Hehe, Thanks. Doh, I am too stupid. Been playing some normal HOF games recently which generally need them on... Think I only got 100 gold or something! Still it will serve as a nice practice run (positive positive lalala)!

Well, I played it again. Slower though - 1846AD. Hopefully settings are okay this time

Mids were far away and surrounded by icy land so slowed everything down as I couldn't get enough good land for late game research without breaking dom limit. Also, I broke economy a bit too far before communism, a problem that was exacerbated by lack of the mids...

These two games have made me like space games a lot more. Nice change from Cuir dom/conq. And that's enough boreal for QM

My first effort ended up 1868. Could have been faster but I kept getting invaded, spent a lot of time building military!

Well done aitkensam! Your dates are quite impressive
