Re: No Gods No Glory PBEM for newish players
 

If there is room, I'll be playing Abysia. Pretender has been sent.

Re: No Gods No Glory PBEM for newish players
 

Hah, I made my post, made my pretender, then went to lunch and I come back to this. I sent in my pretender anyway (R'leyh). If it turns out I got in too late thats cool, I should probably skill up in singleplayer some anyway.

Re: No Gods No Glory PBEM for newish players
 

Eddie's call I guess, dont' worry about it RentACop, I'm not too inclined to play this game, and since I "just" sent my pretender, I think you should get to play ^^

Re: No Gods No Glory PBEM for newish players
 

We can get it on guys, i have the full 15 pretenders!

Sorry Rentacop but Seriam beat you with 1 min, too bad but if this goes well i'll host another real soon.

Re: No Gods No Glory PBEM for newish players
 

Hmm... the title says that the game is started, but I haven't received an email.

Re: No Gods No Glory PBEM for newish players
 

ok guys if everything went ok then you should have your files.

please be sure to have the word 'glory' in your email's subject reply so my email filters it to the right folder.

Re: No Gods No Glory PBEM for newish players
 

G'luck !

New patch
 

When should we update to the next patch? After we send in turn #1 (and after you have hosted unpatched)?

Re: New patch
 

err, I patched it already...

Re: New patch
 

Eddie, looks like we need official word on what version we are supposed to be using. I'm on 3.04, but can easily patch if thats what we're doing.

FWIW, iirc from Dom2 days, they usually made it pretty easy to have more than one version installed. Also, I'm guessing that if we're running the wrong client for a turn or two, it won't be too big of a disaster (I hope...).

Re: New patch
 

Ah, there we go. Okay, turn's in.

Patch
 

Im not sure about it. I've heard of some patch problems causing crashes, this may just be on a server game... I had a PBEM game where differences in patch made weird things happen for a turn or so (battle results summary did not match what happened when you watched the battle).

Re: Patch
 

Well, answered my own question... when I tried to open the turn (using 3.04) my game crashed. So i suppose ill have to patch to take the turn.

Re: Patch
 

Near as I can tell, it seems that EW already patched. I tried to run off 3.04, got an error, installed the patch and it ran. I dunno, maybe somehow I did something screwy the first time I ran, and that something had nothing to do w/ the patch version. Anyhow, I'm patched and running, and it seems fine.

Re: Patch
 

Yeah, 3.06 works fine for me ^^

Re: Patch
 

I get a CTD when I try play my turn. I updated to 3.06.
However, I created my pretender in 3.04.

Re: Patch
 

i created the game with 3.06 so i guess you should patch first. pretenders should be fine.

Re: Patch
 

Any hope of cycling through more than 1 turn/day for these first few turns?

I'm probably dreaming given our around the world timezones, but otoh, it shouldn't take long at all to work out the orders for these early turns...

Re: Patch
 

my turn is in. I cant do another today... sorry.

Re: Patch
 

My game crash when I try to do my turn. I've come to the conclusion that it is the map, as I can't open it ingame when trying to start a new game. Could you send them again to me?

Re: Patch
 

Did you do the turn w/ the new patch (v 3.06)?

Re: Patch
 

Tried it with 3.04 and 3.06.

Re: Patch
 

Ok, I found the cause. None of you obviously run the game in Linux as I do or you would have had the same crash. The map file and the turn file look for a map file called "Lakeside.rgb", but the map file that was sent to me was named "lakeside.rgb". Big and small letters are not the same in Linux, in Windows they are however. Oh well, game on. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Patch
 

Is there a time set for the next host?

Re: Patch
 

We do seem to be slow getting out of the gate on this one...

Re: Patch
 

I'm waiting as well. Eddiewallie, clue us in. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Also, if we're going to be going daily, feel free to pick an hour, your time, when you will roughly process turns. (thanks for runnin' this and all that jazz) That way if any of us must miss a turn or anything, without prior notification, there's no spilt milk.

Regardless, I have a province I'd like to invade! Or perhaps it can invade me. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Great map by the way.

Re: Patch
 

I apologize for being slow everybody... i had to wait to get all the turns from a game im hosting, then patch, then i took my turn. I will be much faster in the future... i would definitely like at least a turn a day.

Time
 

Understandable that its slow. There was some tech problems to work out. No ones fault. I am impressed Dedas solved his problem so quickly. Would have taken me at least another day http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif

I think setting deadlines for hosting in the future would be good however.

Re: Time
 

Oh yes, I also like the map very much.

Re: Time
 

The map is really great.

Re: Time
 

Great map, poo starting location http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif Unless of course I have about a 5 province buffer.. then i might be able to... nah, i'm screwed http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Time
 

Hey Eddie, just post here whenever you send out the turns, that'd be great.

I'm not saying this becuase I want you to be in a rush. It'd just be more convenient in ways. (I check these forums more than I check my mail >.>)

Re: Time
 

no one wants to get this going more badly then i do but i cant make the turn until everybody sends his files.we are currently waiting for niefelheim. i find it hard to set a time limit since i'm an ocean and about 7 hours away from most of you and i'm really bad with these time tables.

glad you like the map, so do i =)
btw who is the one with 4vp's in his capitol, you lucky %!$@#!

the hosting is pretty easy although it takes a little time to get started as you all know by now =/. it's 3 at night here right now so i'm gonna get some sleep. so good night and NIEFEL get that giant turn done! =)

Re: Time
 

Well, perhaps this just me be a jerk, but I say let 'em stale! I hold the opinion that if the player can't put in enough effort ask for a delay by sending you an email, or posting in the forum, then letting them stale is just fine and dandy.

Also, I would say that setting deadlines based on what is convenient for you is also just fine, since so long as we have 24hrs to do our turn, we've had our opportunity to get the turns in. I'm sure w/ our globe spanning crews that no matter what deadline you set, it'll be 2am for someone somewhere.

All the above said, if someone requests a postponement in advance, or if there's some unique situation, I'm all for being tolerant and flexible and for you to use your judgement as host.

Re: Time
 

By the way...I know we're playing with VP's, but what excatly are the winning conditions? 0.o

Re: Time
 

the victory condition is 30 vp's.

Re: Time
 

Eddiewallie I think if you set a time, any time, we all have the same 24 hours to submit our turns, i think that would be fair.

by the way how is the weather in the Netherlands? Its about 6 degreed F here in Chicago. Burrr.

Re: Time
 

well we are having a crazy winter, it'about 10 celsius here, like 50 f, way too warm for winter but not to bad for me =)

i'm sending the new turn files in a bit so the next deadline would be tomorrow this time. that 3 pm for me. sadly, well for you not for me, i'm going on vacation for a week tomorrow night. but when i'm back we can pick up the pace and speed things up a little.

Re: Time
 

So, Eddie, you are at GMT +1:00?

If so, then for us in the new world (or more specifically the US) that'll work out to:
9:00 am EST
6:00 am PST

Re: Time
 

true, abysia dropped and it's gonna be a second stale for niefelheim. on a third i'm gonna switch him to ai like abysia.

Re: Time
 

Maybe you should try and get replacements for them? Plenty of players wanting to play...

Re: Time
 

i tried but the ones that applied don't respond and i did not want to delay the game any further. there are now 2 drops: abysia and atlantis both are a.i. controlled. if niefelheim does not awnser someone can take his place because i'm gone till next saturday. i'll send you the turn and see you next week.

see you
 

Have fun on vacation eddiewallie!

Re: see you
 

yes, Eddiwallie, have fun, i'm waiting eagerly for your return.

Re: see you
 

Are we alive again?

And not to throw yet another monkey wrench into the works, but I'm out from the 13th - 15th, if we are playing, I hope not to stale...

Re: see you
 

Terrel, know someone who can take your turns for you?

Re: see you
 

No, but I'm willing to hand off the position to someone (and I'd rather do that than take a sub on turns 3-5).

Re: see you
 

hi guys i'm back

sorry i'd kept you waiting but i was real busy with working to get some study done that i should have done during my time away =) the turn is alsmost ready i only miss agartha-jutetrea. and rentacop is going to take over for niefelheimm, i hope..

Re: see you
 

Wow, I was beginning to lose hope. Hope you had fun. I suspect if people haven't sent their turns in after like, uh. Nine days. They aren't going to. *sigh*

Re: see you
 

Well, likely, but I almost forgot about it myself. A PM might wake people up again.
