Man uploaded!

Re: Sunken_Treasure : New Shahrivar game on Moseha
 

Seven uploaded now; still missing are :

Machaka : DrPraetorious
Arcoscephale : Romanus
Vanheim : Korn

Not sure those people's names here, so can't send a message. Plan is still to start the game tonight - Ironhawk will be uploading a pretender and kicking it off, giving us 8.

Aku and a couple others expressed interest, not sure if they're uploaded yet, but it looks like another person or two can jump in, especially if they leave those above three open in case the original players show up.

Re: Sunken_Treasure : New Shahrivar game on Moseha
 

Great, when I get home from work if it looks like there's room for one more (or the above 3 haven't joined yet and you still only have 8), I'll jump in. I was hoping to give this map a try.

Re: Sunken_Treasure : New Shahrivar game on Moseha
 

Okay - with 180 provinces (and almost all of it land) I'm thinking it should handle as many as 11 or even 12, which would leave 15 provinces per nation.

Re: Sunken_Treasure : New Shahrivar game on Moseha
 

I've uploaded as Ulm.

Re: Sunken_Treasure : New Shahrivar game on Moseha
 

Hi, I'm new and I cant tell if this game has started.

If it hasnt, sign me up !

Re: Sunken_Treasure : New Shahrivar game on Moseha
 

Hello Bill!

We are about to start, but I think there are still a few openings. Can you upload your pretender tonight?

Pasha

Re: Sunken_Treasure : New Shahrivar game on Moseha
 

Game will start in 8 hours, approximately 10 am New York time. If people miss it, well, there's a new Cradle game open on mosehansen.

Re: Sunken_Treasure : New Shahrivar game on Moseha
 

As posted, the game started at 8 am in New Mexico, 10 am EST, something like 2 pm GMT. I believe it's set to 25 hour quickhost, but will possibly have to check with Ironhawk who kindly provided the hosting.

Re: Sunken_Treasure : New Shahrivar game on Moseha
 

Heh - oops!

I forgot to give your game a turn-timer :} What do you want? 24hr? Maybe I will pop on the irc channel and see if any of you are online....

Re: Sunken_Treasure : New Shahrivar game on Moseha
 

24hr!

Re: Sunken_Treasure : New Shahrivar game on Moseha
 

I guess IRC is acting up again? I cant seem to log in. I'm just going to set you guys to what I consider to be the default - 24hrs. Enjoy!

Re: Sunken_Treasure : New Shahrivar game on Moseha
 

New turn is up!

Re: Sunken_Treasure : New Shahrivar game on Moseha
 

All right!

Re: Sunken_Treasure : New Shahrivar game on Moseha
 

yeeeehawww!!

Re: Sunken_Treasure : New Shahrivar game on Moseha
 

Interesting to see two nations take a second province on turn one - without getting anyone into the Hall of Fame. Wouldn't think it was possible, since the experience alone for a battle should get them into it.

Re: Sunken_Treasure : New Shahrivar game on Moseha
 

I could tell you, but then I'd have to... well, I wouldn't do THAT. But I thought it was interesting how I came into a province on turn 1.

Re: Sunken_Treasure : New Shahrivar game on Moseha
 

The answer is too simple - I had a castle neighboring starting prov. Or maybe I missed some specific rule about not capturing indy provinces with castles?

Re: Sunken_Treasure : New Shahrivar game on Moseha
 

Yep, that was it, there was a castle in a neighboring province, and I went to investigate, and the enemy is afraid and inside the castle, waiting for me to rip them to shreds. But no experience for single handedly taking a province. Darn.

Re: Sunken_Treasure : New Shahrivar game on Moseha
 

Ah, the good old castle "feature", which causes issues for maps that want to contain castles. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif Hadn't realized there were castles - thought it might be the "0 troops in independent province regardless of independent strength setting" feature. (I've seen starting positions with multiple neighbors containing no troops, despite a high independent setting.)

They're both more than a little inconvenient for MP games.

Re: Sunken_Treasure : New Shahrivar game on Moseha
 

Cool - when Truper gets away from work, it looks like we'll have 3 turns in the first day and a half.

Re: Sunken_Treasure : New Shahrivar game on Moseha
 

I can confirm that indys are set to 6.

Only time I've ever seen empty provinces when the indys were set to non-zero was on a map where there were specified indy provs, like Sundering.

Re: Sunken_Treasure : New Shahrivar game on Moseha
 

Had it happen in MP games on maps including Aran and Urgaia, with indies between 6 and 9. I remember the first time I saw it happen, I sent a unit in very cautiously, thinking that I simply wasn't being told what was there. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Re: Sunken_Treasure : New Shahrivar game on Moseha
 

I made a mistake making my pretender. Could we go again?

Re: Sunken_Treasure : New Shahrivar game on Moseha
 

A big mistake?

Re: Sunken_Treasure : New Shahrivar game on Moseha
 

big and stupid

Re: Sunken_Treasure : New Shahrivar game on Moseha
 

Re: Sunken_Treasure : New Shahrivar game on Moseha
 

Hmm... whatever the group wants to do is fine by me.

Re: Sunken_Treasure : New Shahrivar game on Moseha
 

I hate to restart, but I don't want anybody to have a sucky time just because he made a big & stupid mistake designing his pretender. We just started the game. So, we could restart pretty easy without much fuss.

Re: Sunken_Treasure : New Shahrivar game on Moseha
 

If we restart, clear Pangaea so I can change my pretender as well.

Re: Sunken_Treasure : New Shahrivar game on Moseha
 

I have nothing against restart, although I fear I won't have 2 provinces on turn 2 second time ))

Re: Sunken_Treasure : New Shahrivar game on Moseha
 

sorry people. Same server?

Re: Sunken_Treasure : New Shahrivar game on Moseha
 

Bloody hades.

Sent an email, we'll see whether or not he can easily restart the game. If he does, there's no issue with clearing Pangaea, because everyone has to upload a pretender again.

Just to try and make sure there isn't a need for YAR : make sure to take your pretender into a SP game and make sure it's correct. If you've made another pretender for that nation, make sure the new pretender is one you want for the game, or create another pretender.

Make sure you're creating it with Zen's 2.2 Pretender mod turned on.

Re: Sunken_Treasure : New Shahrivar game on Moseha
 

I think we're still waiting on a concensus or response from Cainehill and Ironhawk, assuming the game can be restarted. And if so, we will all be able to upload new pretenders if we want, but just have to stay with the same race. At least that's what I would guess, right?

Edit: Doh! I guess Cainehill's email came right as I was typing mine.

Re: Sunken_Treasure : New Shahrivar game on Moseha
 

Incidentally - if Ironhawk can easily restart it for us, I plan to use a revised map file with the pre-existing forts removed. Otherwise, as with this first game, people can grab "free" provinces as soon as turn 1. (And someone starting in #12 or #20 has two fortified free provinces immediately.)

Re: Sunken_Treasure : New Shahrivar game on Moseha
 

That would be fine for me. Because if I can't get lucky next time and get a fort next door, I say remove them all. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

Re: Sunken_Treasure : New Shahrivar game on Moseha
 

Restart=okay with me.

Re: Sunken_Treasure : New Shahrivar game on Moseha
 

Caine, I just restarted your game with the same settings as last time - it is no problem for me to do. I was working off the email you sent me tho, and had not seen this message. Rechecked your email and there was no attached map file. Do you want to send that to me and have me restart again? Or just go with what you've got. It's no trouble for me either way.

Edit: speak of the devil! you just sent it... one moment

Re: Sunken_Treasure : New Shahrivar game on Moseha
 

Ok, you game is now restarted using the sharivar_noforts mapfile that Caine sent me.

Everyone re-upload your pretenders now. Please make sure you get it right this time http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Sunken_Treasure : New Shahrivar game on Moseha
 

Do we need the new mapfile as well, or is that handled by the server?

Re: Sunken_Treasure : New Shahrivar game on Moseha
 

Only the creator of a game needs the .map file, so you don't have to worry about it.

Re: Sunken_Treasure : New Shahrivar game on Moseha
 

Hmm. Think everyone will need the map file, attached to this post, since I gave it a new name so I wouldn't overwrite Sachka's original one.

Re: Sunken_Treasure : New Shahrivar game on Moseha
 

I am at work, but I will upload my pretender this evening.

Re: Sunken_Treasure : New Shahrivar game on Moseha
 

And remember folks - do not click "Start Game" until all 8 pretenders are in.

Re: Sunken_Treasure : New Shahrivar game on Moseha
 

I know we should stay with our original race, but is it possible to change race as well when uploading the pretender? Just checking. I wouldn't change to a race that was already taken, but I was thinking about one of the open ones, maybe changing to one of them.

Re: Sunken_Treasure : New Shahrivar game on Moseha
 

Don't see where it would hurt, albeit my hope is that most people will go with what they already have, so we can get the game up and running soon, hopefully tonight.

Nations that were taken :

Abysia
Pythium
Man
Ulm
Caelum
Pangaea
Tien Chi
Jotunheim

Re: Sunken_Treasure : New Shahrivar game on Moseha
 

Pretender uploaded right this time.

Re: Sunken_Treasure : New Shahrivar game on Moseha
 

Pretender for Machaka uploaded (instead of Ulm).

Re: Sunken_Treasure : New Shahrivar game on Moseha
 

Wait, we can change races?
If so ima take ulm since Shmonk just dropped it.

Re: Sunken_Treasure : New Shahrivar game on Moseha
 

Go for it, it's free now.
