Problem with World War Scenario

[Edi]

Hi everyone, I'm back (not that anyone probably noticed me missing) and I've finally got Dominions II. Will be a long time before I can get really familiar with all of it, but I've a specific question about the World War scenario.

Can't get the thing started at all, I get the dreaded "N�got gick fel!" popup and it complains about not being able to find suitable starting provinces. Unless I set number of starting provinces as 1, in which case I get the one starting province, not the 5 I was promised. If I put that at 5 and special start enabled, the game crashes.

Tried with Ermor, and with Arco, and it gave me the same error both times. Is there something wrong with the .map file or what?

Can anybody help me with this?

I play that scenario all the time. Did you patch the game. It's supposed to run with 2.05+

Patch 2.08, as a matter of fact. Could it be there's something in that patch which breaks the map for some reason or another?

Is there also a difference between which Version of the tga file you use? I've got the improved one which has the darker background.

There is no problem with the patch. It sounds as if the problem is map related. Either there is something wrong with the new tga (such as no white pixels on the map) or with the map file (less likely unless you have tampered with it).

i couldn't get it to work w/ just downloading the new file - I think I had to download the old and then the new...

Definitely not the tga I'm shocked you could suggest that.
