Alright guys, I was never able to resolve the problem, so I'm out of the game. Oh well.

Good luck with your game.

Re: FreshMeat - EA Newbie - (WAIT FOR HOSTING->UPL
 

I had Worthy Heroes on accidentally when I made my turn, is the game smart enough to turn it off automatically or should I redo it?

grudge, no rules, we just gonna be a bunch of newbies running around with padded sticks whacking eachother http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif)

personally i like to honor my treaties, but i see no reason to enforce that somehow http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

besides its a game of character too...roleplaying a bit etc....

another thing i want to note is that up in the top left corner, there are 3 players starting quite close, and up in top right corner as well....luckily im neither of these....but given that this map is so big i was thinking it was a bit odd....a few people are only 3 spaces away from another capital.

anyone want a rehost? hehe, i know its a pain in the *** to do that after it took so long to get this thing going (a week! wtf! a week to find a game, a week to get one started....blah!)
anyway its up to all of you. if i was stuck up in the corner right next to 2 other people in a map this big for 11 players, id be none so happy. thats a pretty quick game for 4 people here (considering, probably, 1 person out of each "trio" in each corner will conquer)....

but then again maybe not. maybe they do some treaty. but in that case for the ones pocketed in the corner, they will eventually (very soon) be blocked in unable to expand.

i actually have quite a good position so its a bit of a pity to restart but for sake of a good game, i vote for restart.

maybe darkstone can even figure out how to email a file by then haha http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif
if 5 more people want restart before hosting tonite, ill ask llama to restart it.
if not we continue.
welcome to the game everyone!
do your turns and submit them in any case, btw...

Let's wait. If I defeat all my neighbors, we can go on, if they defeat me, then I suggest a restart. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif Hehe, j/k. I think restarting is probably the best thing to do, but I understand if some people just want to get on with the game.

Re: FreshMeat - EA Newbie - (WAIT FOR HOSTING->UPL
 

i'm easy either way. but if theres a restart i would like it to be timely. i ask the players put a vote, yea or ney for restart. if no one votes lets continue, no long debates please. i abstain from this vote because i just want to play and want no more delays. i'm one of the close proximity players and will either win or die and be better for it. maybe a ally with one or both of them, so we can make up for our disadvantage. anyway lets go forward not backward. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif Bwaha

Re: FreshMeat - EA Newbie - (WAIT FOR HOSTING->UPL
 

I havn't looked at the map but a restart is ok with me...(Murphy says I WILL be in the worst position!!) just let me know.

Re: FreshMeat - EA Newbie - (WAIT FOR HOSTING->UPL
 

I have Gone to the dominions file/saved games/freshmeat file.

I received the e-mail with the marverni_.trn file which I put in that file (I tried to open it but windows xp couldn't do it)

I also received the marverni_.2h file but windows would not open it either.

I went to see if the game maybe didn't need opening and it wasn't in the exisiting games.

Did I do something wrong?

I need to have my turn in by tommorrow so any help would be appreciated Thanks and Heeeeeeeeeeeelp!!

Re: FreshMeat - EA Newbie - (WAIT FOR HOSTING->UPL
 

okay try this, create a folder anywhere handy. i love my flash drive becuase its not cluttered with a bunch of stuff. then go the the email that contains the turn file. copy don't cut the file. then go back to the folder and paste the turn file there. now that you got that little bugger pinned down its easy to manipulate. i'm still new at this but i found this to work. i'm sure there's a better way, but it works for me. (i hope) http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif Bwaha

GrundeBringer- there are agreements Non-Agression etc. and most player ARE honorable and won't sneak attack you, there is always a couple of turn notice, but I've been betrayed twice so far ( man that can be nasty ), so now I'm always on the look out, treaty on no treaty.
And I think something of a black list should be created for this so you should know who to thrust.

Re: FreshMeat - EA Newbie - (WAIT FOR HOSTING->UPL
 

Good to hear the game is up and running :-)

Haven't had chance to check out where I've started, but if 2 seperate groups of 3 players have started on top of each other, then I'd certainly vote for a re-start.

11 players on 'Cradle' should be plenty of space for everyone to have a decent start, even without a water nation. But it sounds like 3-4 players won't survive long enough to learn anything, or have any fun :-( And all us newbee's are here to learn and have fun right? :-)

I won't be able to get my turn done until tomorrow anyway (luckily for me it's 48hrs first turn) so a re-start might not be that big a delay at the end of the day.

(Edit) ps. If there is a re-start, we can give Darkstone another chance to get in if he still fancies it. As from his posts it looks like he's missed out through no fault of his own, and certainly not through lack of trying.
