Re: MadWar - Game Almost On!
 

OK now I am all confused...Do we have a second restart? is the second game still going on? No need for re-submitting pretender files and downloading new maps?:confused::confused:

Re: MadWar - Game Almost On!
 

There is something wrong with the restart script in Llamaserver. Llama is conducting test on it so no one should worry. When he finds the bug and fixes the script, then everything will be fine. Replacement player will then send in pretender and game will restart.

As for map file, remember we did restart to get balanced starting point. We are still playing on the same alexander map, just (hopeful) well balanced starting locations. You can see all the starting locations in a previous post of mine. And your comments is greatly welcome.

Re: MadWar - Game Almost On!
 

I've started a game to test your map Konming and starting positions seem quite balanced to me.
The only one who may have a tiny advantage would be the player starting on 122. He may quite easily secure the mountain range surrounding him IMO as there are very few breakthrough but that's a problem of this map not your starting positions I think.

Okay, all is well again, MadWar is fixed and the map is uploaded (remember to change the map before you start the game!). Sorry about the hiccups.

Re: MadWar - Game Almost On!
 

So is it possible for me to upload my own pretender? I'm guessing by default llamaserver is going to reject me as I'm coming from a different email addy....

Baalz,
I am wondering if you get ganged up upon in alot of the games you join because of your high profile on these boards?

I still remember a quote you said last year which makes me chuckle every time i think of it:

"Why is it I(Baalz playing sauromatia) choke on everything I try to eat(me in my first game playing Argatha) while ULM (Miach) dines in luxury."
LoL

Alright. Everything seems to be working well. The server is going to be down for a few days starting the 30th apparently. I am thinking of just waiting for it to come back up before starting it. Unless everyone wants to get a jump on the first couple of turns before then.

Re: MadWar - Game Almost On!
 

Go ahead and email your pretender in. I have deleted the previous R'lyeh pretender.

Unfortunately yes, though I also get the flip side and have a +10 to my bluff and intimidate rolls in negotiations. ;) The worst was in Epic Heroes II (which I based my Eriu guide on) my initial attack went so well I moved right on to attacking neighbor 2 ridiculously fast....at which point no less than 6 people ganged up on me (counting the 2 I attacked)! This was in year two and I wasn't even 50% larger than second place. Heh, good times....

Ok, so what are we waiting for now?
