Re: I so love flogging a dead horse
 

It is supposed to be an epic heros mod - if the heroes don't change the course of the game by themselves, they're hardly epic http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif.

That is not to say that I don't think they shouldn't be balanced - but I think the epic heroes should be balanced towards all being excellent, rather than balanced towards all being a slightly-above-average bonus commander.

Update:

I just tried to send in a pretender for Abysia-and received a message the game is already full. So you may be able to change your pretender if you are playing the same race, but we may have to wait until Llama returns home on Monday to be able to add my abysia pretender and the mictlan pretender in place of Ulm.

Still have yet to hear from Man, Ryleh or Vanheim. I am assuming they are sticking with their present races, but would love to hear from them for confirmation. Vanheim's hero received a lot of love, so at least for him i cannot see the restart as anything but good. Man and Ryleh were unaffected by the 1.4 changes, except having a dangerous neighbor removed.

So I'm out of this game or what is happening?

Re: Update game status
 

My bad Dedas,

I inferred, perhaps incorrectly, that you did not want to play in the game if the Epic Heroes Mod was being used?

We are still going to go forward with the game, with Epic Heroes 1.4, the Worthy Heroes, and hot bless fix mods.

Did you want to play Ulm as it is in 1.4, or a new race?

Re: Update game status
 

If Dedas is back no worries, I can wait for the next one.

Re: Update game status
 

I'd like to get the game started to be honest. It can take a long time for a mod to get to the point where most people are happy with it; it is probably just best to discuss balancing the mod over in the mod forum in the long thread on this mod.

This game was advertised as being a fun game to test out a new mod, no one is presenting the mod as completely balanced. I still want to play as R'lyeh, but would like to get the game under way and focus on making changes to the mod in the mod's thread over in the mod forum instead of in the game thread.

Re: Update game status
 

Likewise - I attempted to replace my pretender and got a game-full message.

Re: Update game status
 

While I appreciate feedback on mod balance, let us move any balance issues to this thread:

and preserve this thread for the upcoming game discussion.

Re: Update game status
 

If anyone's been having difficulties replacing pretenders - hopefully it will work fine now. Sorry, I'm away and keep on only being online briefly, so I'm doing things in a bit of a rush.

Oh - if you're replacing your pretender you need to use the same e-mail address as before otherwise it will tell you someone else has taken the slot.

Re: Update game status
 

And Xietor, you should be fine to upload Abysia now, as should whoever's playing Ulm.
