I've only finished the first year so far. It's clearly a very long game, and you've worked hard on it. I feel that I need to know a heck of a lot more about Greek military history to play it to the best conclusion, since I've only heard of half the names. I did love the line 'Shouldn't gods have a little more dignity?'
By the way, the images weren't showing up for me. I don't know if anyone else has had the same problem.
I'm still very new to making games (this is only my second), so I don't really know how to troubleshoot things like images not working. They worked on my computer (on both Firefox and Chrome) and my brother's computer (not sure which browser he used, probably Firefox), both running Windows 10. I think they *ought* to work on just about any system as long as they're in the same directory as the main file and their names haven't been changed, but my knowledge is kind of limited to what was written in the tutorials and wikis linked to by the Twine site...
It is definitely a very long game, much longer than I really meant it to be. (My decision to put ten events per year was not a smart one...) Most of the names aren't even terribly relevant (some of them I only remember for silly reasons, like that Ascalaphos had the dumbest death in the entire Iliad), and a few might have been more familiar if I had used their Roman equivalents instead of the original Greek. (Especially in the case of Aias: everyone seems to prefer the Roman Ajax, but to me "Ajax" will always sound like a cleaning product...)
It could be the types of image files used. Some will only work in certain browsers. I presume you put everything into a zip folder, and that the HTML Twine game was called index.html? That's the only way I was able to get music to work. Unless you're linking from an image-hosting website, like imgur. That way, you can use internet links instead of computer directories, so any computer can access them. It could slow the images appearing, however.
If you go onto the Twine subreddit, you might be able to get help there. I've found the people on there very knowledgeable and always ready to give advice.
Everything is in a zip folder, yes, but I didn't rename the .html file. Since it's set to be downloaded rather than played online, I wouldn't think the name of the .html file would matter, though? Whenever I update it to add in a glossary and any corrections I can make, I'll be sure to rename the .html file then, just in case that was the problem.
Try unzipping the folder and then playing it. The images should work that way. It didn't occur to me until a few minutes ago that it was even possible to launch the game from inside the zip folder, but then I went and tried it, and sure enough the images didn't work that way. I'm a relic of an older time when the contents of zip folders were impossible to access without unzipping first; using files that are still zipped is completely outside my mental box, you know?
