    PC game Gorgon Editors

    I am one of the lucky ones who still got the original Birthright PC game. The Gorgon alliance by Sierra.
    Now my group is playing a Birthright campaign and I would like to use the PC game to keep track of the PP game.
    For that I need to get the game installed! My PC got windows 7 so that did not work. I found a website where I could buy a version that runs on windows 7. (problem solved)
    Then I downloaded 4 different editors from Birthright.net. Non will work! all tell me that they need to be installed same place as the game (but they are)
    Any one got any smart ideas’ ?

    I have installed the game on my PC in the folder C:\Sierra\Birthrt
    The editors need to be in the same folder as the game to work.

    The editors do not work with the early 1.0 or 1.02 releases of the game, but only from 1.03 and later so make sure that you update the game to patch 1.04

    [1] WHAT THE PATCH FIXES
    ====================================
    Several minor bugs
    Code support for the Deluxe Tools

    1. Scenario Editor support. Any new game scenarios (no longer The Gorgon's Alliance) can be dumped in the saved game directory and loaded as if they were ordinary saved games. But, they will allow you to select other realms (not just the 17 the original game allows) and it properly modifies the game so that if you are playing an awnshegh or monster realm that the game adjusts appropriately.

    2. The Character Editor is now fully supported in the game. Create your own characters and inventories and have them appear in the game.

    3. The game will display and allow players to go on adventures built with the Adventure Editors. Build your own castles and dungeons and adventure in them yourself. Or send them to friends for their use.

    4. The Character Editor was fixed and improved. Lots of minor suggestions by users.

    5. The Adventure Editors were released. Building a full, new adventure is a time consuming task, but determined users or minor edits of existing adventures are possible.

    6. The Scenario Editor is done and working. Allows users to change ownership and starting conditions of every province, holding, and force in the game. Setup starting alliances. Choose which realms are in the game and which are player starts. Lots of cool features. Radical changes to game play are possible and scenarios may be shared.

    7. Experience At Battle Level The following chart of combat experience points now works. The first number is points awarded to fighters, the next to priests, the third is for thieves, and the last number is for wizards.

    Engage in Battle 500, 500, 300, 500

    Go onto the battlefield 1000, 500, 300, 500

    Cast magic or use magic item 50, 200, 50, 200

    Command a win in battle 1000, 500, 500, 500

    Bonus if command a win against larger army 1000, 500, 500, 500

    8. The intermittent message "Endier assassinated a unit in" has been fixed so that the location of the assassination is now printed.

    9. The intermittent message "unknown has gained an experience level" was fixed.

    10. The intermittent bug in which a character at the realm level, defeated in battle, chose to not retreat and then could not be engaged thereafter was fixed.

    11. Battle magic was improved so that non-mages could now use magical artifacts such as Necklace of Missiles on the battlefield.

    12. A bug in which items with multiple charges disappeared from the hot-boxes after one use was fixed.

    13. The message about characters gaining a level now identifies their realm.
