One of the files in the replay directory must be renamed: A replay consists of [something].wgf and [something].wrpl.wgf , else the replay does not load. Edit: referring to file "king of nowhere _ nemesis26.wrpl"

Does anybody know the history behind this choice of suffixes?

Hey, I just checked round 2 and found that I go a free promotion, as of that dropped dershrimp I guess. Thats finde for me as my time slots are currently quite limited, getteing better in and after novermber. But I actually did some training on that already face-wink.png

So I offer anyone to do some trainig with me, and so we find some bugs in the latest build. About Bugs: the current trunk contains (or contained) a bug that will make resuming that win codnition (with empty player slots) impossible. So check the version you use for that bug, or play it to the very end.

Greetings

King of Nowhere,

I just realised that there are many versions of the Nile map; latest seems to be 2rc1. Should you specify, which version is to be used?

Edit: Maybe the map "The Nile v2", bundled, is the newest?

the nile 2 and the nile 2rc1 are the same map; i think it was renamed the nile 2 when it was made official.

I didn't specify because I assumed it given that I was referring to the official map, but I can see how that can be confusing

I'm going to play on The Nile against its creator - Einstein13 - this sunday (first october) at 7:30 pm CEST.

We are planning to play daily trunk, even though one cannot watch with that the replays of the trunk matches of the last round anymore.

I'm wondering if that's a bug... : /

I am quite excited for this game. I was playing this map 2 or 3 times on multiplayer games. I would like to find a person who will beat me on this map. It was designed for my style of the game and I am looking for the better strategy!

(Un)fortunately there is 4-hours limit (Territorial time).

WordlSavior, do you want an autocrat revenge? face-grin.png Of course, out of the tournament.

I can't make the last version work. It says it cannot do it because it can't find libfreetype-6.dll and libiconv-2.dll

we will have to play with 19

so, first surprise of the tournament: I lost against tando.

I could try many possible explanations, but ultimately, he just had a better strategy. He conquered land faster than me, and he kept conquering land faster. He always had approximately 50% more land. I was hoping to catch back with my stronger army, but I was too slow.

The game crashed many times, and the replay is in 4 pieces. The last 25 minutes are missing because, after another crash, and with the perspective to wait a long time to reload the map only to play a short time with no hope of recovery whatsoever, I preferred to surrender.
