Organizing Napoleonic Empires Free For All (tripleA) - Third Universe

[Veqryn]

Savegames are incompatible due to the new features i’ve added to 1.6.1
Keep 1.5.2.1, and download 1.6.1, and you can run them both at the same time (use 1.5.2.1 for your 1.5.2.1 savegames, and 1.6.1 for your 1.6.1 savegames)

The only time savegames are ever compatible, is if it is the 4th digit that is the only digit that changes. (x_x_x_y [if the only change is ‘y’ then savegames will work])

Example: 1.5.2.1 to 1.5.2.2 would be compatible (also 1.5.2 would be compatible because technically it is 1.5.2.0)
while 1.5.2.1 to 1.6 is not compatible, and 1.6 to 1.6.1 is not compatible

You can have multiple versions of triplea installed at the same time.  Even running them at the same time is ok.

About playing “live” games, have you tried clicking the “Play Online” button at the top of the main screen? 
There is an online lobby where people play live games against each other, and we have an average of 50-110 people online during peak hours.

ah I dont think so, but will definitly try that, thx for pointing out!

Veqryn, does 1.6.1. need Java while the previous did not need it? I can run the old one, but the new one asks for Java and wont start. The previous one never asked for Java (and I dout I downloaded the Java version)?

Thx

you have 2 choices

download java

or download the one with java

[lexgreat]

I am a pain, I know, but even when I download and install 1.6.1 with Java I am asked to install Java runtime environment 1.5.0.

There is no Java on my computer that the Java website could detect, and the old versio runs perfectly fine. Then again, I am a noob in those things.

[Gargantua]

Try the No Install version ?

[Noll]

Hey Garg, if you confirm that you want to play this I will start the thread

[lexgreat]

will try to get it going tonight so to not delay the game.

[lexgreat]

Ready to go

[Noll]

We better wait another player, 'cause Gargantua is keeping two games on hold right now. I think more than 10 days passed alreay.

So… looking for 1 more player!

[Gargantua]

Yea I wont have the time to play :(

Sorry boys.

[lexgreat]

Hi Noll, any progress? Thx.

[Noll]

We’re still waiting for 1 player!

[seth4god]

Just as a heads up, but I’ll be out of the country for 3 weeks in August and probably won’t have internet access. So feel free to find someone else to take my spot if that’s too long to wait for.

[Veqryn]

considering how 2nd universe just died due to 1 player never posting for 3 weeks and 2 players dropping cus of that delay, I now have an ‘open slot’ for a game

i’d like to join, but here is my condition:

everyone needs to be able to post within a day of their turn, hopefully quicker

i would love to see a game where there are several turns done in a day

(obviously this isn’t a hard and fast rule, there will be exceptions and unforeseen things in your schedule, which i am fine with.  i just want this to be a goal.)

i’ll take whatever nation is left over

alex, can you play quickly, yes or no?

[lexgreat]

principally yes, a turn each of my evening/nights should be possible.

[Noll]

So let’s re-review this game. Who’s going to play Napoleonic Empire - 5players version?

Noll, Alex, Veqryn are 100% sure.

What about wheatbeer and the others?

[wheatbeer]

I’ll still play  :-D

[Noll]

Ok we still need 1player! but Maybe I’ve found one!

[Veqryn]

I’ve nearly finished a ‘live’ game of this (well, technically we did finish after someone got the VC victory, but we’ve opted to keep playing), and it was fun as hell.

i hope we can find 1 more person

(and i hope that everyone can play relatively quickly)
