Author's Description:

This adventure does NOT require Poseidon, also deals with Atlantis. Your dreams have been disturbed with the destruction of that great city. Can you prevent the disaster that looms ahead?

Really great adventure. Lots of different things to do. Lava time limit and limit on troops was very clever.

Thanks

BTW. Just wanted to also mention that this one, and Athena's Anger are one of the only few that I have actually re-played several times. Very nicely done.

I just want to know how he got 11 episodes. I can only get 10?!?

The author has a great story line here ... it's too bad it crapped out following the parent episode which follows the first (and only) colony episode... almost as if the adventure were unfinished.
The first colony episode presents a choice of four sites relating to four tests ... leading me to think I have four colony episodes to play. Great! I thought. But after the first colony (returning to the parent), you're required to suport 3 triemes ... after that, it's open play! What happened to the other three tests (colony episodes)? You really expect me to play this four times to experience each test? Can't understand why it wasn't completed, after all, the maps were obviously there and all the author had to do was include three more colony episodes!
Please finish it, Gadget Don. You have a great idea here. A few more rivals, some monsters, disasters. Could be quite a challenge.
Thanks ... Raman

What Ramanopopolus encountered was the dreaded "Open Play Glitch", where a player finds that the adventure suddenly slips into Open Play. It can be avoided by copying the FireAndWater.pak file from the FireAndWater folder into the Adventures folder. The people from Impressions have said we should install the .pak folder in the "right place" which is why I don't put a copy in the Adventures folder to start with, but I'm rethinking this.

I sure hope they got the Glitch fixed with Poseidon.

Normally, the "Text not found" message means that the name of the folder is wrong (should be FireAndWater, note the capital letters). But the installer I use is supposed to take care of that. Any chance you renamed the folder?

If not, try copying the FireAndWater.pak file into the adventures folder. This has been known to fix another problem.

Lovely adventure. I really liked all the unexpected events and tricks and at some time I even thought the mistakes. but I made it.
It's nice to have so many small test to perform. All completely different. It made me forget that sometimes the maps were a bit simple in design.
And of course I made the main city way too large, but you probably expected that to happen...

Really enjoyed the adventure. The defence of the one city was incredibly tough with the serious time limit! I barely had troops ready in time to save them, the first time I didn't have them at all yet.

Teach me to take my sweet time.

Thanks for the work.

For some reason I keep getting "text file not found", when it is actually there! Please help!
