Great game obeservations

I just purchased the game yesterday via download. Great addicting gameplay.

My first question is, how do you find your own custom maps? I created a map and saved it in the default location but it did not show up in the list of maps when I started a game. Do I have to move the file to the default install location?

How do I play custom scenarios? I created a scenario to go with my map and couldn't figure out how to find it.

This morning I had a CTD and I sent the log file but, unfortunately, did not give any details. I also had not saved in a few turns. I will try again and if I crash I'll send more details. Judging from the support forum this has been an issue for awhile. I hope it is quickly resolved as this is one of the more entertaining games I've played in a while.

If you just saved into the default location then it won't appear in the list - it has to be saved in the "skirmish" folder to appear in the list.

To play a custom scenario, it has to be part of a campaign, which in turn has to be listed in the "campaignlist.txt" file - sorry that this wasn't made clear in the documentation.

Thanks for the reply. I'll try your recommendations.
Also, I played several turns of the game that crashed yesterday with no crashes. I've been saving every turn but so far so good.
