well whole start really got me off guard, didn't expect so much different game from regular ones
Is there something I missed I should have told?
Vets map?.. Prepare yourself for a long epic game!
I wouldnt minded to know that starting units were more generous than the usual 2 colonies+1 scout patrolSorry, I though it would be enough to see it. But if it is a real issue then you may replay the turn for this time.
well whole start really got me off guard, didn't expect so much different game from regular ones and made couple stupid mistakes from the start. Bit annoying but oh well. I'll leave save here for time being.Ah, this one is it and if so what do I do with it.
Spanish class? OK, Ill go for spanish ;)Perdon, hablo un pico, (only been learning one week). No entendo bien.
No se como trabaja el iniswap2.2. Lo que podes hacer es empesar un SP jugando los 4 primeros jugadores siendo los mismos que en MP44 y guardando despues del primer turmo - eso va a arreglar tu partido.
Disfruta!
Senni, it's OK if you reload your turn for such reasons as using iniswap. Just don't abuse it. And it's considered nice to post that there were reloads and why.Gave up on iniswap I'll just have to put up with red Gaian's, don't know if you can run it after the start of the game. That's ok. I posted what happened earlier in this thread. Sorry, my sleep apnoea is going through an exacerbation, and I'm rather slow and stupid at the moment. Going back to the hospital clinic to get my CPAP machine fixed next week. So shall be less cognitively impaired by next week.
So whose turn it's now? funbot's?
OK, But I cope you speak a little (poco) and not a pack (pico) ;)Thanks for that, I was overcomplicating things. 2.2 is the one in the archives here. Pico was a typing error. Lots of those this week. Has the player who was after me pick up the save That I posted after my move, in the TTT thread.
I never tried iniswap2.2. You can just begin an SP with the same factions in the same order as in the game and save it. this will save the correct visual settings.

I find iniswap extremely handy and it's fairly easy to set up, let me know what kind of problems you have run into. I already did my turn and pushed it to Mallax.Thinks for that. At the moment I need a step by step idiot's guide, so I'll probably leave it til next week when my CPAP machine is back running properly.
