Re: Sol - CBM EA Game on Llamaserver: 1 spot left!

If the last guy coming in doesn't want a water nation, you should probably pick Tir Na n'Og. If he does, Atlantis would be better so he can't just relax during the early game.

=====Statistics=====

Settings/Mods - Early Age, Conceptual Balance Mod 1.3 will be used (Mod can be found here). Score graphs will be turned off. This makes it more difficult to bully weaker nations without doing your own intel work. Renaming will also be on. Other settings will remain standard.

Map - Map will be PashaDawg's "Asia Twist" which can be downloaded here.

Hosting - Hosting will be every 27 hours with Quickhost on to start with. After 20 turns we'll have a vote to change the hosting time to whatever seems fitting.

Size - I'm looking for 10 Players. Inlcuding myself, we need 1 more. I'd prefer at least 2 underwater nations, though I'm good with whatever you guys want to pick.

Diplomacy - Diplomacy is really up to the players. Just note that treachery certainly won't win you any new friends, and if your victim has friends of his own to back him up, you might find yourself in over your head.

if we have no water nations - might want to choose strictly land map, evens it out so EA tc doensnt get any free expansion

Re: Sol - CBM EA Game on Llamaserver: 1 spot left!

Well Fomoria can get underwater as well, even without needing to research anything. In fact, anyone can once they find some Ichtyid, Shambler or Merman provinces. It should be alright to have a few water provinces at least. Granted this many is probably a little much.

Since nobody wants in the water, We'll switch to Primea (here).

And with that, we have our players. Give me a few minutes and I'll create the game. so you can send in your pretenders.

Re: Sol - CBM EA Game on Llamaserver: 1 spot left!

Just checked out the map...

Started with only 2 neighbors, and after that 2 provinces with pretty big special defenders.

Bad luck? Or is there something more to this map?

Re: Sol - CBM EA Game on Llamaserver: 1 spot left!

It was maybe just luck. I'll be using a version of the map that has set starting locations.

Alrighty, since I see a few of you are newbies, I'll just review how this all works so we can get playing.

Once you've created and saved your Pretender God using the Game Tools option on the main menu, you go into your Dominions 3 directory. In the directory, there will be a folder called "savedgames" and in that, a folder called "newlords".

Go into the "newlords" folder and look for the file your pretender is in. The filenames follow a patterns. For instance, the first god you saved for Marverni would be named "early_marverni_0.2h" and the second pretender you saved for Early age Ermor would be called "early_ermor_1.2h". Find the god you wish to use and attach that to an email to the following address: pretenders@llamaserver.net
Make sure the subject of the e-mail includes the word "Solar" because that is the name of our game on Llamaserver.

Once we've started, you'll receive your first .trn file from turns@llamaserver.net. Create a folder in your savedgames folder named "Sol" or something like that (I suggest putting a hyphen in front of the name so it will always stay at the top of the list). Once that's done place the .trn file you just downloaded into that folder and open up Dominions. In the "Continue Game" menu there will be the game and you can play your turn.

Once your turn is over and you've clicked "End Turn", go back to the game folder in your savedgames directory. There should be a new file there. That's the .2h file. Reply to the e-mail that sent you the .trn file and attach the .2h file to it to send in your turn. If you wish to amend your turn, just send the file again after you've finished.

Re: Sol - CBM EA Game on Llamaserver: Send Pretenders!

This is Llamaserver: http://www.llamaserver.net/

Here you will find a list of games that are being hosted there. Our game is called "Solar" (because it said the name Sol was too short). Games are listed in alphabetical order and you will find ours under the "Games waiting for pretenders". You can click on the name to see who has sent their pretender in so far.

Another note: Make sure that Conceptual Balance Mod 1.3 is active when you create your pretender.

Re: Sol - CBM EA Game on Llamaserver: Send Pretenders!

There are some problems with this map I think in the neighbor assignments...

64 for example is a starting location with no neighbors...

Can some one else check into this so I don't think I'm crazy.

Actually it appears as though 63, 64, and 65 are all basically the same province, but if you start in 64 you cannot move anywhere...

Also a problem with 104 and 105
