I just got started with RTS and have a few questions. I downloaded the setup exe. someone had created to make installing RTS easier. How can I add the new cards to this if I don't have the zip files? Also, I'm running on a mac and currently using crossover to run the installer, but can crossover run zip files?
A few other questions:
1) How do you find a game online? Where is the "lobby"?
2) Can you play alone against Computer?
3) When I put cards into play it seems I can put them anywhere, so how do you know your putting them in the right spot or not?
Thanks,
Chilaha

A few other questions:

To give a technical description of how you add cards:

RTS gets all of its card information from a file called "cards.txt" This is a giant text file that lists every card, the information to display for it, and what images to load. These images are located in "pics" folder. To update, you would update the cards.txt file with a new one, and drop the new images into the "pics" folder.  Whenever the next set comes out, I or someone else could assist you with updating if you need it.

1) How do you find a game online? Where is the "lobby"?

The "Lobby" you're looking for is located on the Redemption Connect website I linked to in my guide. However, that website will be shut down soon. More info on that here: Link

Once this goes down, you will need to use Hamachi to connect to other players. For information on this, see this post here: Link

2) Can you play alone against Computer?

No, there is no AI in RTS.

3) When I put cards into play it seems I can put them anywhere, so how do you know your putting them in the right spot or not?

RTS includes a background that serves as a general guide for where cards go. Table locations is something you pick up as you play the game. If you have a Rulebook that came with a starter deck, there is an image of the standard table layout. (This should be on the online rulebook, but the image link seems to be broken)

OK. Thanks for your reply. Also, I know the game is not Mac OSX native, but soon my crossover trial will expire and I will need to find another way to play it? Has anyone made a wineskin for it and has a link to it's download?
Or, should I just buy parallels or use bootcamp and run it on there.
Does this run on linux?

Also, I don't have any cards yet. I want to get a starter pack, but am not sure what the newest set of starter cards is, could you give me a link to the newest starter pack?

Oh, and I looked a little at the rules and I'm really confused, do you think it's easier to start with real cards first?

The newest starter is the Tenth Anniversary G&H starter (http://www.cactusgamedesign.com/redemption_starters.php).

As far as I know, it only runs on windows or a windows emulator. It does run fine on bootcamp, as I run it just fine on my macbook pro. (had to get it for college, installed windows to run my games, never touched the mac side again  ;) )

Yeah, this game can get pretty complex at times. I would suggest starting with a starter deck for sure (or at least use the cards found in the G/H starters in RTS)

It also can be converted with Wine just fine.

I don't know how to get Hamachi and I didn't feel like searching through seven pages of posts for help so I am just asking again.

You can download Hamachi here.  Everything else should be straightforward for the setup.

You should be able to use Windows Explorer to find it. Search for "Redemption" and it should find it.

Check the folder rts is installed in for cards.txt. If it isn't there try reinstalling rts.
