Re: Elli (Recruiting)
 

At a mere 11 water provinces (and horrifyingly close starting positions), I don't think its any problem at all to make Atlantis the only underwater nation. Especially considering the horribly close starting positions i got in a test game for Oceania and Atlantis.

I'll avoid the question of Atlantis' strength like I'll avoid any further big (20+) player games. Until I win something (as ANY nation), or learn something, I'll keep my mouth shut. I figure with 8 players, I have decent odds of victory- not counting other player's skills.

Derailed for a moment there. Only one water nation, Atlantis, allowed in game, on account of their being only 11 water provinces.

With all this debate, I've forgotten who asked for Atlantis.
I'll come back to this thread today and update the player list to include Atlantis, Lanka- oh and almost missed it - Maverni which goes to MoM, if I'm not mistaken.

Re: Elli (Closed, Readying)
 

Okay, that's nice. Filled up fast. Nine people. I'm a bit overloaded with games, so I'll likely step out, leaving us at eight. If not, I'll ask llamabeast to increase the cap to 9.

Need to know whether everybody's ready with a pretender, or needs some amount of time before they are good to go?

If everybody submits a pretender, we'll start ASAP. I'll message Llamabeast now, and make sure he's got all the settings. Deadline for submission looking to be Saturday.

Anyways, everybody above, you're in. I'll update the first post a bit later with a complete player list for convenient PM.

Re: Elli (Closed, Readying)
 

Okay... Everybody got their choice, I'll step out of this game. I'll likely be opening up another HoV game at the end of the month if somebody missed a chance to get in. I needs remember to PM llamabeast, make sure everythings good to go. Deadline for pretenders Saturday, will start earlier if everyone gets their pretenders in.

Re: Elli (Closed, Readying)
 

To recap for those who don't remember, I ripped this lil info bit from one other game (and replaced the name with this game's name, zomgz).

You can now upload your pretenders to the LlamaServer. To do so:

- Make sure you have no mods enabled
- Go to Game Tools -> Create a pretender god in Dominions
- Go to the savedgames/newlords folder in the dominions directory, and find your pretender file (e.g. mid_pythium_0.2h)
- E-mail the file to: pretenders[ at ]llamaserver[ dot ]net
- Crucially, you must have the game name 'Elli' in the subject line of your e-mail

Re: Elli (Closed, Readying)
 

Should we get a house rule against retreatin mage casting wrathful skyes and stealing bogu´s friends commands?

Re: Elli (Closed, Readying)
 

A house rule against a retreating mage casting Mists of Deception and Wrathful Skies sounds good to me. As does stealing Bogus's and his friends' commands.

Re: Elli (Closed, Readying)
 

I've heard of the "retreat spells" being exploits - so I'm definitely for a house rule on those.

I'm not sure what stealing Bogus's commands is... can someone fill me in on that one?
