Thanks Digress! Much appreciated.

I vote for ... graphs off.

And can we please make sure we're using a Skaven.dm with the fix for the Vermin Lord sprite names.

Re: TigerCat - new MA game (recruiting)
 

Okay, the game is now open to pretenders. Mod nations please don't send yours in though, I want to check for issues and possibly create a multimod first (which might change nation numbers).

I am contemplating whether to play Arga Dis myself. The correct answer, based on how much free time I have, is no. But I am so tempted...

Re: TigerCat - new MA game (recruiting)
 

PS Aezeal, I'm inclined to remove you from this game being as you won't be able to play for the first week. Objections? Otherwise Pythium is now free if anyone wants to switch.

Re: TigerCat - new MA game (recruiting)
 

A couple of people just sent in pretenders and may have hit error messages. Sorry, it was a bungle at my end, fixed now though.

Re: TigerCat - new MA game (recruiting)
 

I won't play Arga Dis, I've decided. It would be madness, since I am really too busy at the moment (and am currently in 5(!) games, although I expect to be out of three quite soon).

Re: TigerCat - new MA game (recruiting)
 

no if you start the next week then I don't wanna play, thought we had already covered that and was already looking for a new game.. no use in playing a game when you miss the first 7 turns http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

Re: TigerCat - new MA game (recruiting)
 

Below is a new .map file (only needed by the server). It fixes a minor broken map connection.

Re: TigerCat - new MA game (recruiting)
 

We going to have a deadline for uploading pretenders?

Re: TigerCat - new MA game (recruiting)
 

Sounds like a good idea. How about a deadline of tomorrow night at midnight (GMT). I'll start the game as soon as I get up on Sunday morning.

Apologies for being a bit slack in getting this game going. I chose a bad time to start organising it and have been a bit over-busy. But now it's the weekend, hurrah!

Re: TigerCat - new MA game (recruiting)
 

Don't forget the multimod for us mod nations!

Re: TigerCat - new MA game (recruiting)
 

Can I send my god yet? He's ready, but you said to hold off on the Skaven.

Re: TigerCat - new MA game (recruiting)
 

Sounds good to me.

Re: TigerCat - new MA game (recruiting)
 

Actually I think you will be good to send the mod nations as they are, there shouldn't be any need to do a multimod. I was thinking there would be because I had to do one for Marmoset, but that was pre-patch and was because there were problems with hitting unit limits (so I had to judiciously remove units and stuff). Those issues are all sorted now (hurrah!).

Re: TigerCat - new MA game (recruiting)
 

Hrm! Do we need the nation mods if we aren't playing the nations?

Re: TigerCat - new MA game (recruiting)
 

yes we will need the mods as well

Re: TigerCat - new MA game (recruiting)
 

I think there is a typo with the Tomb Kings Mod, the weapon for the Servant of Seth should be 705- Mental Attack, instead of 700 -

Re: TigerCat - new MA game (recruiting)
 

Okay thanks for that, I'll check it out.

Re: TigerCat - new MA game (recruiting)
 

We're still missing Sivoc's pretender. I've PMed him.

Re: TigerCat - new MA game (recruiting)
 

Okay, we have all the pretenders in now. I'm sorry though guys, I'm having real difficulty getting to starting this game. I have to do it at home (since it includes mod nations you have to create it via the GUI, which is something I'm hoping JK will eventually fix), and I just haven't been at home very much. Won't be tonight either till nearly midnight, but I will start it either then or in the morning hopefully. Sorry again for the slow start.

Re: TigerCat - new MA game (recruiting)
 

Sounds great, thanks for setting this game up and hosting it!

Re: TigerCat - new MA game (recruiting)
 

No rush from where I'm at =)

Re: TigerCat - new MA game (recruiting)
 

Hurrah! Started at last. Hope it's all worked okay.

I can't remember if I asked whether anyone would be willing to be admin for this game. Well, I will do now - would anyone be willing to admin this game? Would be hugely appreciated.

Re: TigerCat - new MA game (recruiting)
 

Don't forget to fix the servant of seth weapon!

Re: TigerCat - new MA game (recruiting)
 

Oh yeah sorry, I forgot to mention. I fixed the Servant of Set weapon and Sombre's fixed the Verminlord issue with the Skaven. It might be a good idea for people to download the latest versions of the mods. For convenience I'll stick the two new dm files in a zip file here (the graphics haven't changed). Both the mod threads also have the latest versions attached to the first post.

Re: TigerCat - new MA game (recruiting)
 

When I tried to run this, and I have all three mod nations + worthy heroes, the game said I needed mod

Kitchen Sink II.dm

I can't find a link to this anywhere =\ Little help please?

Re: TigerCat - new MA game (recruiting)
 

What?! Oh, grumble grumble.

This is a bug in dominions whereby it randomly includes other mods from your mods folder when starting a new MP game (Velusion, do you ever hit this?). Normally when starting games on the LlamaServer I have to manually move my mods folder elsewhere and create a dummy one only containing the required mods while I start the game. Because I started this game at home, and via the GUI, I didn't think to do it.

The Kitchen Sink mod includes things like higher clam prices and stuff. It's all good stuff, but it's not really fair to include it without warning people. Guess I'd better do a restart... will do it in a few hours.

Re: TigerCat - new MA game (recruiting)
 

Yep its a little tricky through the GUI. You have to make sure only mods you want to use are enabled. when you start the game.

Re: TigerCat - new MA game (recruiting)
 

hmm, i don't know if it matters now that the game will restart anyway, but I didn't receive my first turn.

Re: TigerCat - new MA game (recruiting)
 

You should make sure Llamabeast has your correct e-mail.

I received my first turn.

Jazzepi

Re: TigerCat - new MA game (recruiting)
 

What is involved with admining the game? I suppose I could do it.

Re: TigerCat - new MA game (recruiting)
 

So, it turned out that the Kitchen Sink mod was sneakily enabled, and having no banner I didn't see it. I've done a restart now.

In text mode though, it seriously does enable mods you don't tell it to. It's weird. It loves Ulm Reborn, and will always include it if given the chance.

Velusion - just postponing hostings/changing the hosting interval as appropriate. You can do it all via the web interface. If you're up for it I'll PM you the password.

Re: TigerCat - new MA game (recruiting)
 

I am also willing to admin if Velusion wants a break from that kind of thing. Thanks to both of you for hosting all the games you do.

Re: TigerCat - new MA game (recruiting)
 

Okay yeah, you and Marignon were the first two to get your pretenders in, when I had done something wrong with the game. So I fixed it and forwarded the pretenders, but forgot to change it use your e-mail addresses.

Fixed now, you should receive your first turn any minute.

Re: TigerCat - new MA game (recruiting)
 

cool, thanks

Re: TigerCat - new MA game (recruiting)
 

Oh yeah JanIm, I would remove your e-mail address now before the spambots get it.

Re: TigerCat - new MA game (recruiting)
 

Gack! Mammoths spotted on our southern frontier!

Wonder if they've had their shots ...

Biggus Rattus

Re: TigerCat - new MA game (recruiting)
 

Our folks use Mammoths as beasts of burden. Spreading rummors of Mammoths as weapons of massive destruction is very unfair to these friendly and subtle animals!

Re: TigerCat - new MA game (recruiting)
 

You bring much joy to Skaven, for you have given us much inspiration! Perhaps you will be our muse?

We see a vision of a fortress ... and from it far-off hills, from which a cloud rises. A great rumbling grows, louder and louder, and the ground shakes! Over the hills come the Mammoth Bombs, great beasts with a fierce fire in their belly, charging forward, insane with the pain that burns inside. They crash into the walls of the fortress, and with perfect timing the poisons in their bellies ignite and explode. A sight the world has never seen, the walls are blown asunder, and stone, flesh, blood, and fur rains down from the sky!

So, how much for a couple mammoths? We will begin drawing up plans for our experiments immediately.

Re: TigerCat - new MA game (recruiting)
 

The new scale mechanics are a bit interesting http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/Sick.gif. My pretender designs are usually somewhat sub-optimal/deeply flawed but I tend to favour good scales and highish dominion.

Have done everything to aid dominion spread .... to no avail.

On another note I am heading bush next weekend - probably heading off Wednesday night US time - for three or four days of fencing fun. Had some storms at the family hobby farm/block-o-weeds and some fences are in need of urgent repair.

I will try and rustle up a sub before I go so the game won't stall for an extended period

I'm looking for air, water or death gems and can provide fire gems for trade 1:1.

PM me if you want to make a deal!

Re: TigerCat - new MA game (recruiting)
 

Haven't found a sub yet - will advertise more widely.

Re: TigerCat - new MA game (recruiting)
 

Wokeye will be subbing for me (he has my thanks) - so no need for any pause in the game. I shall contact admin directly.

Valerius are you the admin officially or does Velusion hold the post ?

Re: TigerCat - new MA game (recruiting)
 

Nope, not me. I'm think Velusion is the admin.

Re: TigerCat - new MA game (recruiting)
 

Nope not me... I thought you were... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Really I have so much going on it'd be great if you took it Valerius.

Re: TigerCat - new MA game (recruiting)
 

No problem. I'll PM llamabeast now.

Digress please PM me Wokeye's e-mail address.

Re: TigerCat - new MA game (recruiting)
 

I thought that the hands had gone up but "teacher" hadn't picked anyone.

Will PM you the e-mail address, Valerius.

Our thanks to the new admin.
