6 player January PBEM

Tue Jan 26, 2016 4:54 am

I am involved in two 6 player PBEM games. In one game on turn 5 the .hst file has the correct date for the war and the next turn but none of the resources change...only VP. The French player opted to annex Hannover on turn 4 which it executed properly on turn 4 but then the .hst file for turn 5 has it all over again. We executed turn 5 again with the original .org files from all players but same result.
On the other 6 player game we have had to restart twice due to bad turn executing for the .hst file.
I think something is wring with the program for multiplayer PBEM. Is anyone playing PBEM successfully with 3 to 5 players? Was it tested?

It's working fine. The problem is on your side. If you have old orders (someone didn't delete last turn orders when they get new host file) or something of the like, then you will get strange results.

The host MUST create unique sub-directories under the my documents/my games/wars of napoleon/saves directory to manage the separate host files and orders. If you are using a single directory for that and swapping in files, that could also mess things up.

WON will pick up the games automatically in the sub-directories, save them in sub-directories, so the multiple game management is simple

I agree with vicberg. Clear out old ords and start fresh
