i'm getting ERROR READING FILE when trying to open it :(

already sent an e-mail back to you Luigi30

UPDATE: lol i'm an idiot and didn't notice that when you launch SMAC via GOG Galaxy it only launches the base game and not the expansion. launching terranx.exe manually sorted it!

cheese-cube posted:

just played my first turn however i must have hosed something up as it gave me a message about having already played the file and tampering. i swear i only tried to play it.

anyway, save has been sent onto improbablelobster!

edit: jesus i am really an idiot, just re-read glorgnole's e-mail about the save tampering thing so all good.

glad you were able to work through it! thank you for documenting your problem-solving process here, for the benefit of future generations

if oldalias sent me the save that Improbable Lobster sent them, that means i can waste their turn and then play my own turn and pass the save file on to cazlab, right

Yes. But tbf, you need to understand how to "game" the mechanics or you'll get dunked on whenever you play the cheating difficulties. Basically learn how to do an ascension victory in <100 turns, then you can play the game on transcend.

yeah there's still room for like 4 more people on the nominal b-team so make a post if you want to play. i was going to try to get the first game through a handful of turns to work out the kinks before i piled on another completely separate game.

extremely looking forward to The Second Turn though

lot to unpack there, especially micromanaging with such precision that you rename your cities every turn so they get evaluated in a specific order

lol at taking two weeks to move a colony pod. game's gonna finish sometime in 2022 at this rate

probably not a bad idea to impose a deadline, especially since in theory the turn's already been taken and it should just be a matter of attaching the correct file then sending an email.

how about : OldAlias passes on the save before Wednesday the 29th. otherwise, in the interest of keeping things moving, the keys to the Believers go to one of the B Teamers.
