No no no. Read it again. The point is that you shouldn't have the CB mod enabled since it's not a CB game. I could have said "make sure you have no mods enabled", but that would be mildly misinformative since no other mods that I know of make any difference to pretender costs. Creating a pretender while you've got the CB mod enabled is pretty much the only thing you can do to screw the process up (the server will accept the pretender, but once the game starts Dominions will accuse you of cheating and turn your pretender into a pointless magicless archmage), so I thought I had better mention it.

Re: Doom Chicken
 

Mythology would be a bad idea, as would nova deus, BTW.

Re: Doom Chicken
 

Oh..

I need to remember the first rule of the Internet. Learn to read, then whine.

Re: Doom Chicken
 

hrm. No harm done to either of us, I trust, despite my slightly sarcastic post.

Re: Doom Chicken
 

I'm first uploaded!

Re: Doom Chicken
 

Winner!

Apologies also for my slightly out of character "No no no read it again" - guess I had a grumpy attack! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Good point about Mytheology (sic) and Nova Deus, I'd forgotten those two.

Yomi is in, seemingly. GJ, Bursaber.

Re: Doom Chicken
 

What does GJ mean?

Re: Doom Chicken
 

umm... Good Job? Great Joke? Giant Jar?
(I think it was supposed to be a good job, but who knows, really? I often post stuff without thinking.)

Re: Doom Chicken
 

Good Job.

Re: Doom Chicken
 

Mictlan is in.

Re: Doom Chicken
 

OOhh I like Giant Jar!

Ouroboros has arrived. All Hail Ouroboros, encircler of the world, devourer of evil, lord of serpents, It whom births Itself, sin eater, keeper of the Giant Jar!

Re: Doom Chicken
 

Ouroboros? Does he bite his own tail?

Re: Doom Chicken
 

Ctis is in... Though I'm not confident with my pretender.

Re: Doom Chicken
 

Exactly. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/biggrin.gif

Re: Doom Chicken
 

All Praise Rigden Jyepo, He Who Seals the Gates of Death, the Armorer, the Teacher of Philosophy, God of Disease, the One Always at the Shoulder!

Re: Doom Chicken
 

That is obscure. Rigden Jyepo is in buddist myth, no? what is he supposed to do? Something about leading armies of goodness to destroy evil?

Re: Doom Chicken
 

According to Sungma Lama's book "Agartha" (1951), Rigden Jyepo ("King of the World") led a tribe of people underground and founded a kingdom there sixty thousand years ago, and watches over Earth till now in constant spititual contact with Dalai Lamas http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Doom Chicken
 

Intesting... I never would have thought Agartha was a real reference, but wikipedia says there's a lot I hadn't heard of. Might make for interesting reading.

Vanheim is uploaded. The world shall soon be as out of focus as all my units.

Re: Doom Chicken
 

Erm. Why are we running n outdated versin of worthy heros? 1.7b is the new one, and I don't have 1.7, nor is it downloadable.

Re: Doom Chicken
 

here is a link to the B version. It only fixes hydra spawning.

Re: Doom Chicken
 

I think just the host needs the updated version anyway, doesn't matter to clients (in case of hydra spawning, not generally that is).

Re: Doom Chicken
 

actually, I needed to comb the forums so that it would let me open my turn.

Re: Doom Chicken
 

Could someone post the earlier version of Worthy Heroes? I can't find it anywhere.
As Sauromatia, I guess I'll get the cool knight-farting hydra. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif

Re: Doom Chicken
 

here is the 1.7 version of worthy heroes

Re: Doom Chicken
 

cool, thanks

Re: Doom Chicken
 

Just C'tis left...

Re: Doom Chicken
 

For thousands of years one of the worlds oldest races, the Aboleths have kept mostly to themselves at the bottom of the ocean. They were a danger to anyone who got to close, but they never wandered far from their territory. No one has ever been able to communcate with them or understand what they are thinking. Now for the first time the aboleths have organized themselves. They have begun enslaving the creatures of the sea who were closest to them, to form an army. Atlantians have likely noticed that some of their deep ones have dissapeared, and that more frequent Aboleths have been spotted lately. But the Atlantians like eveyone else is still unaware of the true danger that they face.

Re: Doom Chicken
 

I believe Atlantis has been having fun with the messaging system. If I'm supposed to be taking it seriously, my mistake. However, I'll respond in what I believe to be the spirit of the message.

Re: Doom Chicken
 

Sauromatia also got this message, and we've tasked the useless old crap we get instead of a scout to decode it. The only word he's been able to find so far is "Ry'leh" which he thinks might mean R'lyeh. Perhaps its a warning about this mysterious people.

Re: Doom Chicken
 

I got three.
Here's my response.

Also, this is the first game I'm keeping all my saves + 'playbyplay.txt' for an AAR. It would be more convenient to post it as it goes on, but somehow I think that's not a brilliant idea?

Re: Doom Chicken
 

Why, i would like to read which tactics you will gonna use http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/biggrin.gif

Re: Doom Chicken
 

Don't woryy we will only read your posts for interest sake. when it comes to doing our turns we will forget what you wrote. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/cool.gif

Re: Doom Chicken
 

Umm... I, the Atlantian in question, did not recieve your reply. I looked at it on the forums here though.

Naturally, your lizardly arrogance blinds you the the fact that frogs can walk on land as well as swim, unlike lizards. Furthermor, we are not adverse to conquering other foolish non-amphibious folk in between our civilizations.

In other news, there might actually be a coded message somewhere. Or there might not be.

And I'm utterly serious about the fortune telling. One Gold.

Re: Doom Chicken
 

Somehow this threat fell so quitet, is this in awe of kailasa? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Doom Chicken
 

Indeed, the Martakan Menace chills us all.

Re: Doom Chicken
 

... I've been maintaining a partial play by play text... but have had nothing mentionable since [classified], which made me happy. But I haven't even met my neighbors yet, so there's no guarantee I'm even capable of using it. Especially since my pretender design was confused- though my strategic goal was clear, and straightforward. And [classified] has confused my strategic goal even further plus an unrelated change of research plan as well. Fortunately, it was early enough I don't think it will cripple me.

Re: Doom Chicken
 

Nearing stage one of my strategy- research was involved. Unfortunately, I'm near the bottom of the province race now. I'll be diverting my efforts to expansion now. Here's hoping.

*Squawk!*

Not there yet, though, and it's not a world shattering research goal, just a mildy useful one. I'm trying to go into games now with a plan of action, instead of blindly. Since I couldn't think of anything late game, i focused on having a loose starting strategy. Writing an AAR report after every important turn helped as well, where normally I might just recruit a homogeneous bunch of troops and send them off without bothering with things like formations or tactics. I'm playing for history, now. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif

My mid-game strat is more a collection of ideas than anything game-winning, or tested. But it is there, for once. I'll probably be focusing on diplomacy, to limit my risk to one front while I test out this strategy - which I'm not even certain I'll be able to pull off, though I did weigh things as heavily in my favor as possible, though it cost me a couple more sacrifices than usual.

Re: Doom Chicken
 

i will be away over the weekend and xietor will sub for me, so please direct diplomacy ment for kailasa towards me.

Re: Doom Chicken
 

I will need links to mods used.

I am using 2 different versions of worthy heroes mods already in other games, and I think there was a recent patch that changed it yet again.

if people are not all using the same version, it can cause some weird issues.

Re: Doom Chicken
 

we ae all using 1.7, no (b) at the end.
Also, there are links in this thread: 1.7 worthy heros and big game mod.

Also, you should give all your gems and gold to atlantis, because you're a nice person.

Re: Doom Chicken
 

Sigh,

For future reference Hadrian_II , you do not need to pw protect your turns on the llamaserver. thanks!

You may hate me, but i changed your research paths. That is the danger of subs!

Re: Doom Chicken
 

Is this game still recruiting players? If its is can i join as tir or nog

Re: Doom Chicken
 

No, we are at turn 10 already.

Re: Doom Chicken
 

dang! Now i want to keep playing!

You owe me big time Hadrian II. You will know of what i speak tomorrow. Go away for the weekend and come back to what!

This is likely my last turn subbing for Hadrian. Good Luck everyone. Looks like a fun game.

Re: Doom Chicken
 

Due to me stupidly forgetting to send in my 2h file, I've staled. Sorry for holding the game up :-/
If anyone sent me an important in game message, could you please send it again?

Re: Doom Chicken
 

Oh, so you missed the DOW from every player?
