Just checking in! This sounds great. Although Hawklord being the Byzantines is a bit scary, I think we can survive. The franks would also like to extend a hand of friendship to the Germans!

I think I got rid of the starting units in spurious places. You should have some medieval spearman outside your cities and nothing in remote places on the map. I'm still getting used to the editor
The biq sent in the e-mail appears to be the one before I changed it - I hope

 

[Hawklord]

The last biq for christians is definately right, the one without all the extra troops.

 

[daufoi]

games are launched... i couldn't change my name in either screen so you'll see me as player

 

[Hawklord]

I think you need to use the Change Name button when you start one up. But Player sounds OK. Not a lot this turn.

 

[nivekclough]

We French are a kind people, and love wine! However, we suck at the art of war, and hope our neighbors are peaceful people!

I can't play these files. Some error in the pediacon file about a joust arena. Both 3 and 4.

 

[nivekclough]

Hmm if its a pediacon error I don't think its a problem on my end. Could it be that you didn't recieve everything from hawklord you should've? did you get a Crusades file in addition to the biqs?

 

[daufoi]

I was getting the same error... here are the instructions i got from Hawklord.... Let me know if you need any of the files.

You need to copy the middle ages folder from the conquests folder into the scenarios folder and rename it Crusades. Then unzip Text zip so it overwrites the original text files. The text files tell the game the pathways to the graphics. As the original game used the middle ages folder the biq was pointed at the folder in the conquests. However, since I added a unit the files need to be in the scenarios folder as they have been modified to include the information for the new unit. So we need a copy of the files in the scenario folder. The non-Christian biq is also attached.

This is a more complicated way of doing it but at least the files will get past your ISP border guards

 

[Hawklord]

I have sent the smaller files along with instructions.

 

[semental]

Fixed. Both files played and sent. 1st turn complete.
