    Gemini11,

    Thank you for posting in this thread!

    First..Make sure you're playing as "player 1" when you playtest.

    Second..Do not put an ai start on your map for player1 ( the player you're playing as)

    Third..Make sure you set the player you're playing as to human and the others to computer in the "player data panel".

    Regards

    If I use playtest and select player 1 its works fine. I do not have an ai start for player 1, nor did i choose an ai for it. this only happens when I try and actually play it through custom scenario.

    Did you play on-line or single player skirmish before this?

    If this is for an on-line custom scenerio..It would be best If you refer to the pinned tips and tricks thread by MosheLevi..If this is for a single player scenerio..It is best to playtest your scenerio through the editor..If you play on-line or a sinlge player skirmish..It is best to exit the game then get back in before playing your custom scenerio..The editor is finicky..The ai doesn't load properly and it seems to confuse itself if you do otherwise.

    Regards

    If your scenerio plays ok through the editor, playtest..Then I would suggest doing it that way..That is the recommended way..Also re-read above post..I added some more info..The only other suggestion I can offer is re-trace your steps in the player data and make sure there is nothing you over looked..Most times it something small and is easily missed..Make sure the ai starts and the T.C.'s you placed are for the correct computer player..Did you click re-set homecity for each computer player in the player data panel? If all this is done..If it plays through the editor playtest..That's all I can offer..It's hard to pin point..I'm not there to know for sure

    Regards

    LOL

    You're most welcome..

    Glad to have been able to help..

    I'm assuming you saved your file in the editor and you used The save as?.

    One last thing..In your main screen..Go into single player skirmish..Are you playing as player1 there?

    Just a couple of things that came to mind late..

    Regards
