First blood.

In all directions do the Vanir spread, yet farthest ranging is the lord Baalz himself. Riding the winds he blazes a trail of blood across the countryside as barbarians and lizards alike are brought under his banner. For the first time though he has encountered something different, a much more organized barbarian. Great gray beasts driven before disciplined formations appear to be carving out their own nation and to have merely stumbled upon the great lord. They made the fatal mistake though of challenging Baalz as equals, but as he pushed a dead elephant from his spear with a mighty boot he considered the fleeing men and paused to consider the fate of his newly discovered neighbors. They would require a different policy to deal with than the unorganized tribes he has thus far been bringing to heel. Were these a worthy opponent, a worthwhile ally, or more contemptible weaklings?

okay I tried to think of a way to make this dramatic, but its really not going to work, so here goes....

everytime I open up dominions, the skaven mod is automatically enabled. When I try to open any saved game, or start a new one, dominions just closes, with no error message. I messed around with the mods in the mod folder, and the thing that does it is the warhammer skaven.dm file. When that is in, the problem persists, when I take it out, I can play my other dominions games.
I tried redownloading the skaven mod and copying the new warhammer skaven.dm file to the mods folder, but it did the exact same thing.

The frustrating thing is that I haven't changed ANYTHING since yesterday in dominions. I have to idea why this problem is suddenly occurring.

advice? Could we postpone the game?

If i can't figure this out, I might have to find a sub

hmmm maybe leave the mod in the folder but disable it in the "preferences" screen. You should still be able to play your turn even if the mod isn't enabled.

Or maybe re-install and re-patch dominions? Or try it on a different computer if you have one?

Upon opening his turn file it will enable the mod anyway.

24h delay granted (for now, I'll extend it further if need be). That's a pretty obscure bug. I think that it might have something to do with the game Dramatica itself, perhaps try to delete game files and redownload them. Can you disable the skaven mod from the preferences screen? If you can, does that do any good?

Hmm. Since you replaced the skaven mod, it can't be that. Can you run the game on dubug and see if the log has anything useful? If you don't know how to run debug, see insrucions from here: http://dom3.servegame.com/wiki/Command_line_options

Thanks for the delay and suggestions burnsaber, I will give running in debug mode a try.

Burnsaber · #67 December 7th, 2009, 05:48 PM

Alpine Joe, did the debug tell anything? Or should I start to recruit a sub?

Alpine Joe · #68 December 7th, 2009, 06:50 PM

Nothing useful unfortunately, so yes, you should look for a sub.
Sorry to inconvenience the game so much. Good luck everyone!

I was really looking forward to playing Skaven too.....

The Skaven have a new, less capable, leader and have begun their march to ever so slightly mangy and disease-ridden glory.

We acknowledge our many and varied neighbours and hope you all catch something nasty. Coughing up blood and pus nasty.

And fleas, we hope you are harassed by legions of fleas ....

And lice ....

And worms, in all their forms ....

And don't forget the mites ....

At this stage thats all we have ... and boy are we ready to share.

Weaklings, is the decision. The last few of the fools cower behind their walls behind an old man who, in his senility styled himself a god. The only question remaining at this point is if any more of these weaklings will pretend to be men on the battlefield, or if they will just abandon the senile old fool, sneaking off in the night to save their own skins.
