ambrose33 · September 23, 2003, 16:31

i played as the mameluks and released jersuleam but whne i go back to the scenario picker screen its not there when i click on the saved game and look at the shields.

Did you right-click on the shields to get the whole list of countries? It should be there.

ambrose33 · September 23, 2003, 17:53

it wasn't, and im just so mad because i want to play as other countries.

Nikolai · September 24, 2003, 09:55

Weird...

I've done that myself, and I was able to find it...

You DID save after the release of the vassal, right?

ambrose33 · September 24, 2003, 16:24

yea iu did i tried it about a thounsand times and it never works???

Oerdin · September 24, 2003, 16:24

I've do that all the time and I've never had a problem. What version of the game are you using?

General Ludd · September 24, 2003, 16:54

I know it was already asked, but you did right click on the highlighted shield and scroll through the list to select it, right?

ambrose33 · September 24, 2003, 17:15

what do you mean, what version???

General Ludd · September 24, 2003, 17:17

when loading the save game, I mean.

ambrose33 · September 24, 2003, 19:17

Huh?

General Ludd · September 24, 2003, 21:23

When you select your save game, rightclick on your previous nation shield (in this case mameluks) and scroll through the list and select the new country you want to play as. Then play.

ambrose33 · September 25, 2003, 06:38

thats what I do, but it never appears there.

Nikolai · September 25, 2003, 07:04

Then you
1) haven't seen close enough, or
2) haven't saved after the releasing of KoJ as a vassal.

I see no other possibilities right now...

ambrose33 · September 25, 2003, 15:01

i will look again, but everytime i open the saved game and go to gold sheild and right click it aint there, i mean must you realease it as a vassal?

Of course you have to release it as a vassal! That was said from the beginning...

ambrose33 · September 25, 2003, 16:26

I alsom have another question i downloaded the 1.07 patch so i could play independent europe mode and i downloaded iem and it didn't work, can you give me an idea of y?

General Ludd · September 25, 2003, 17:55

You did release them as a vassal while playing the game, yes? You have to do that before saving.

Ecthy · October 2, 2003, 06:21

I think I've had similar problems before... it's strange but it's true... just reload and try again...

Which patch are you using? Many parts of the game change depending upon which patch you use.

Ok, just to be sure I'm going to walk you through it step by step.

1) first highlight the country which you were playing when the game was saved. The country must be high lighted or it will not work.

2) Right click on the highlighted shield and a drop down menu will appear. Depending upon the speed of your computer and the amount of available memory this might take a few seconds.

3) From the drop down menu you will see a list of all available nations. Since you saved the game after KoJ was released as a vassal then you should see "Kingdom of Jerusalam" as an option (It's shield is a black cross on a grey background).

4) Left click on the KoJ and the drop down menu will disappear leaving you with the KoJ as you new highlighted shield.

5) load game as normal.

I think that's what he tried, Oerdin

Ecthy · October 2, 2003, 06:32

as for the version number, you can see it on the startup screen

He's having trouble so I thought I'd break it down for him. One of my friends works at a call in tech support line and he told me people often miss things which people who use the program often take for granted. Thus spelling things out step by step sometimes helps to solve the problem.

Ecthy · October 2, 2003, 07:22

Alright then. I don't work in a call center....
