I know the problem. I unzipped the file into Savegame. and for some reason AOM refuses to play the game if u unzip it to another folder inside Savegame folder so resolution:
After zipping the file. cut and paste it directly under Save Games and the game will play fine.
so this is 1800 Vanilla? is 1800 kinda like 1700s pre-TT days? cus i saw the game and to be honest with you..this game doesn't look like a 1800 game more like a high 1700 game.
