@thedog It is better to put the game notes directly in the file, rather than a reference to a png file.

[TheDog]

@rogercooper
Why?
From my point of view;

• no mark-up or formatting issuing
• it does not clog up the xml with text that cannot read
• it works in game
• I can just paste the png on this forum and they are read as intended
• it can hold other images and is rendered as intended

[RogerCooper]

@thedog In version 2.6, the notes are a separate file.

Forum posts don't last forever, TripleA has changed forum providers in the past.

@thedog I can't get this game to start, it says it can't find the map, the folder name is Roman invasion 2 but in the games list it is Britannia Roman invasion. ,,,???

[TheDog]

@ted-self
Oh yes, for 2.6 it does not work, the map.yml is broke.

Delete your current version/folder and download again, I have updated the 1st post download.

Open the zip file and copy the folder roman_invasion2 to your downloadedMaps folder.

Hopefully it should work now.

@thedog Thank you, I have a question if you don't mind. Is there a way to create a unit that can only be purchased one time? Like I want to create a unit called Richard (he is a general) and I want only one tribe (whoever buys him first) to be able to buy him. Once he is killed that is it, he is dead forever.

[TheDog]

Yes, probably
Richard is in every tribes purchase frontier.
When he is placed on the map a trigger removes him from everyone's frontier, meaning he cannot be purchased again.

[Ted Self]

@thedog Thank you. One more crazy question, there are 6 tribes but I want one of them to not come into play until round 25. Is there a way to do it?

[TheDog]

Rounds 1-24, no TT owned, no units on the map.
Then round 25, place them on the map.

To me it does not sound a good idea, as players will avoid the new nations territory, knowing they will appear. The AI will not have a clue. But ...
