Re: TheWatcher will play
 

i think he was planning on playing man or ulm...not sure where van came from http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

who's playing arco.....alex?...jordan?

edit: err...this was supposed to be posted by castigated. i just logged into the wrong account.

Re: TheWatcher will play
 

OG, it's really up to you. I'm happy playing any race: if you think you'd have more fun with Ulm, post here and take 'em, otherwise, I'll stick with them.

Pinck, Dan's the one who wants to play Arco. I don't think Jordan or Alex check the message board often enough to know about this game (at this point, I think Mictian is the last remaining race, since Atlantis or R'yleh would have a hell of time playing with the meagre number of water provinces).

Re: TheWatcher will play
 

Please join me to any nation that is left, except for Mictlan that is ;-)

Re: TheWatcher will play
 

All this nation trading is throwing me for a loop. Everyone involved in said trading please state exactly which nation you are now playing. Once thats done we'll know if there is room for Bluebird.

Oh and Watcher I strongly suggest you play Man and not Ulm. Ulm loses power SO rapidly that you are likely to be killed off in the first round of wars. Man has much more staying power and fault tolerance.

Re: TheWatcher will play
 

my last game of ulm went well. i figured, "ulm sucks at magic, so i'll take a god with no magic, and just use a bless strategy"...

yeah...i know.

Re: TheWatcher will play
 

Haha Cast.

Watcher, I'll stick with Van...I'll try Ulm in MP as I still don't believe everyone about how weak they are. You guys can't be better than the AI right?

Honestly I am kinda freaking about playing them but I gotta learn to get out of my comfort zone. If you didn't jump at the chance to ditch Ulm I was going to stick with em. Plus theres the side benifit of not making things complicated for Iron (thanks agian for setting this up).

Re: TheWatcher will play
 

To my knowledge I think I´m still Pangaea.

Re: TheWatcher will play
 

If you need another player, I'd take mictlan or ulm (I'd prefer ulm). Although with inland, maybe you don't need anymore. In which case, I'd be happy to sub or take over a nation if someone drops out.

Re: The Winnowing (Noob Game) - open
 

ok, so I asked TheWatcher to reserve me a spot in the game, cause I was really tired last night. What's still open?

Re: The Winnowing (NoobGame)-starting Feb. 2, 24:00 PT
 

i will take ulm if your still looking for players, i have very limited mp experince

Re: The Winnowing (NoobGame)-starting Feb. 2, 24:00 PT
 

so who is van? im confused (if someone drops as van i will take it but if not i will stick with the scaley guys)

Re: The Winnowing (NoobGame)-starting Feb. 2, 24:00 PT
 

LOL, this is getting interesting and we haven't even started yet.

Ermor up for grabs
 

I think we need a Wiki-like web page for claiming nations, since only the thread starter can edit the "official" post. But until that happens (i have no server space or knowledge for this sort of thing) we have to use the board and the good graces of Ironhawk for organizing (thumbs up!)

All that said, I have to be out-of-town with no computer from Thursday to Sunday. So though I'd love to be part of this, I should probably bow out so Ermor is up for grabs. Keep in mind that you have to play base (Broken Empire) since that's their only non-pop-killing theme.

Re: Ermor up for grabs
 

I'm still van. Thought I'd give Watcher the option since he gave up his original position, and took Ulm as an alternative.

As for 2 or 3 new guys, I am pretty sure the water races are still open, and now Ermor. Not sure what else is though.

Re: The Winnowing (Noob Game) - open
 

Hi, I'm definitely new. Just got the game on Saturday and still haven't figured out all the fine points yet but I'll take R'yleh if someone can walk me through how MP works. Thanks in advance.

Player allocations
 

To avoid any further confusion I have alloted players to the remaining nations. Watcher will stay as Man, Zywadugu gets Ulm, Bluebird gets Ermor (BE), and Oversway gets Mict. No water nations are allowed on the Inland map.

All nations are now taken.

Re: Player allocations
 

Ah well, I guess I'll just stay tuned for the news. Have fun all. =)

Server up
 

The server is now up for pretender uploads at

IP: 67.190.105.206
Port: 2002

Before designing your pretender be sure that you have enabled the Conceptual Balance 5.2 mod. Make sure to password your pretender, as well. Game will commence once all pretenders are uploaded or at Thursday midnight.

Re: Server up
 

kissblade, just stay on the lookout for the next one http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Now, 15 nations on inland is crowded - you guys are gonna be having fun right from the start http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

no victory conditions ironhawk?

Re: Server up
 

and with 65% sites and a rich world this will definetely be fun http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

Re: Server up
 

So all I need to do is connect through the game and pick my country, right? There didn't seem to be much else involved...

Re: Server up
 

yup, thats all you gota do (until it starts)

Re: Server up
 

a further note, tom - if you decide to change your pretender before the game starts, all you have to do is reconnect and chose the nation again - and pls don't accidentally chose anyone else's nation ;p

Re: Server up
 

Fine. Num, the God of Jotunheim, is awaiting incarnation.

Re: Server up
 

Indeed, kissblade. Since we overflowed by 2-3 players on this game it would seem to indicate that another is needed. Perhaps when the first round of players die in the initial wars I will start another noob game. So all those players can get back in the action and everyone else who is waiting can get a chance.

Inland with 15 will indeed be crowded. Unfortunately there is nothing to be done for it - its the biggest map out of the box. Stay on your toes, everyone, its going to be bumpy from like turn 10 on!

And no, no special victory conditions. Victory by agreement, I suppose. Either be the last pretender standing or beat the hell out of everyone/make them all so afraid of you that no one contests when you claim victory.

Re: Server up
 

i will contest any-one claiming victory right down to the last militia! (or if i die quickly in my sleep...)

Re: Server up
 

biggest one out of the box is Orania actually - its large enough for all 17 - but setting up beginners on it w/out a reasonale victory condition would likely lead to something horrible happening http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: The Winnowing (NoobGame)-starting Feb. 2, 24:00 PT
 

Mictlan, eh... cool. The blood will flow.

Victory Conditions
 

I will have it known that I, Num, God of Jotunheim and Lord of the Big People, am a kind and merciful deity and will not hold a few moments of spirited independence against any near-divinity wishing to join my pantheon in a subordinate role once my obvious superiority has been established.

Suffering in eternal torment is so last incarnation. I plan to offer generous pensions and a quiet retirement to an out-of-the-way paradise dimension.

Re: Victory Conditions
 

Well if C'tis opens up, let me know. =) I'll keep a look out for other newbie games or such. Also, what's the IRC channel, everyone goes to since I can use a few tips before I play.

Re: Victory Conditions
 

irc.gamesurge.net #Dominions

Re: Victory Conditions
 

dam im to l8, wanted to play in this one but took me nearly 2 days to be aloud to post on forum cause the mail's for account validation kept getting binned by my spam filter, well if a slot free's up mail me at Pinchy_666@hotmail.com or eve-mail kontraband if any of u are on eve.

Re: Victory Conditions
 

Puff the Confused Smurf is up an running as Van's god of choice. Again incase anyone missed it, he'd rather make love not war so lets get to lovin or atleast talking.

Oh and Tom, if he dies I'm blaming you lol.

Re: Server up
 

Haha nvm I know what I did.

Re: Server up
 

Bob, God of Gods has been uploaded.

Re: Server up
 

BE Ermor sucks - but I will do my very best and see what luck can bring me ;-)

Ermor BE
 

Hahahah! Well its not as bad as it used to be Bluebird. Keep in mind that the Grand Tham has +1D and that Shadow Vestals are immortal (!!) now.

Re: Ermor BE
 

Feb. 02 24:00 PT is Feb. 03 08:00 GMT, for all us European people, right?

Re: Ermor BE
 

just upload your god now...the majority of us already have http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif

and no thinking in advance. that's cheating. the more you think, the less likely i will win. not that that was very likely to begin with...

Re: Ermor BE
 

Veristas, the Radiant Lady, Mother of all spiders [img]/threads/images/Graemlins/Bug.gif[/img] is ready to lead the Machakan empire to glory (or miserable defeat, more likely) http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: pretender
 

I'll have the mictlan pretender uploaded tonight.

Re: Ermor BE
 

shadow vestals are immortal? holy ****, thats amazing

Re: Ermor BE
 

Yes, don't underestimate Ermor BE just yet... and remember a prophetized Thaummaturg can reanimate Longdead Horsemen, a unit that usually doesn't come online until early-mid game. Oh, and javelins are good.

Re: Ermor BE
 

oh, and just spam ghouls to defend your castles - they don't eat, and aren't mindless, so defend as well as a human...

Re: Ermor BE
 

Ghouls don't eat? That's just WRONG.

(It's WHAT they eat that defines them as "ghouls", isn't it?)

Re: Ermor BE
 

They do eat about 10 population per ghoul when they're created.

Re: Ermor BE
 

true but would you rather have 10 pop or 1 ghoul? if your right with the 10 pop then just put your ghoul spammers away from your castles and ferry ghouls in

Re: Ermor BE
 

Well - it will definetely be a fun game where I will try uncommon tactics for Ermor (ever seen Ermor with a positive Growth? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif )

Re: Ermor BE
 

The King is dead. Long live the Queen. All praise Lilith.

Edit: Change of plans.

Re: Ermor BE
 

Still waiting on:

Man
Ulm
Arco
Caelum
Mict
