Llamabeast: I just got PM from Hiker (Pythium), he's dropping out of the game.

Uploaded pretender: Marignon

Re: VesperBat - LA game for new players - open
 

Will we be sent the map by email?

Re: VesperBat - LA game for new players - open
 

Okay, thanks Zenzei. Seems like the pretenders are coming in fast now.

Also, I'm considering switching the map to the slightly larger "Glory of the Gods (Multiplayer)", since we have quite a few players. Hopefully that won't affect pretender designs.

Re: VesperBat - LA game for new players - open
 

Arghaii: You already have the map if you have the latest version of Dominions.

Re: VesperBat - LA game for new players - open
 

Ah, ok, I thought we were going to use a modified map.

Re: VesperBat - LA game for new players - open
 

Okay, sent LA Atlantis pretender. Sorry for the delay, my computer started crashing like hell...

Re: VesperBat - LA game for new players - open
 

Right, we are just missing Bogarus.

I will start the game when I get home tomorrow, either with or without Bogarus - it's time this game got started I think, you must all be getting impatient! Also Real_friend has just joined loads of games I think, so he may well be getting overwhelmed.

Re: VesperBat - LA game for new players - open
 

Hi, is there still room in this game, or has it started already?

Re: VesperBat - LA game for new players - open
 

Hi moderation. Sorry, this game's already full. Looks like you found a spot in Serenity anyway - have fun!

Re: VesperBat - LA game for new players - open
 

Good luck everyone:)

Re: VesperBat - LA game for new players - open
 

How long will the turn be? Once per day or slower?

My bakemono are baking their beaks...

Re: VesperBat - LA game for new players - open
 

Right! The game is started! Hurrah!

In the end I went for Cradle of Dominion as the map. Since it's a biggish game as well, I thought it would be a good idea to have victory points. So each capital has a vp, and the winner has to get 7. This is a lot - probably too many in fact - but I thought it was better that the game shouldn't finish prematurely.

I hope everyone's okay with my dictatorial and arbitrary choosing of settings. I think it will make for a very fun game.

Right, so hopefully you will all have received your first turns now. Hopefully the e-mail itself will explain enough for you all to get underway. If not check my FAQ.

The game will be on 24 hour quickhost. That means that it will host either 24 hours after the last hosting, or when everyone's turns are in, whichever is sooner. A bit of thought will reveal that this means both that every turn will host at most 24 hours after the previous one, but that you will always have at least 24 hours after taking your turn to take the next one. Weird, eh? Note that there are 48 hours on the clock for the first turn in case of problems, but hopefully you won't even nearly need that long.

Right, have fun everyone!

Oh by the way, make sure to check out www.llamaserver.net . It's useful.

Re: VesperBat - LA game for new players - open
 

Oh, sorry, just was finidhing my pretender. I'm in 2 games only now, just travelling in another country, this sometimes crashes plans.

Re: VesperBat - LA game for new players - open
 

Woooo! Good luck guys. This is my first MP game but don't go easy on me...may the real god win http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/evil.gif

Re: VesperBat - LA game for new players - open
 

Whoops, disregard.

Re: VesperBat - LA game for new players - open
 

One more question - do we have to have installed and enabled that Worthy Heroes mod on our clients when we play this MP game? Or is it sufficient to run it just on that Llama server?

Re: VesperBat - LA game for new players - open
 

If you've been able to play your turn you must have got Worthy Heroes installed. But no, you don't need to enable it. Dominions is clever, and uses the correct mods for any game you open. Which mods you have enabled only affects any new games you create.

Re: VesperBat - LA game for new players - open
 

Oh, I was worried about that. I didn't have it enabled when I took my turn. GLad to hear its not a problem.

And dammit come on jomon!!! I want to take turn 2 already!!

Re: VesperBat - LA game for new players - open
 

Arrgh, I just remembered that I won't be here on Sunday and Monday, and so will miss two turns http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif

Re: VesperBat - LA game for new players - open
 

Arrrg Jomon is making me so angry looks like we do actually need the 48 hours he better not stale I was hoping my first MP game would be quicker http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/mad.gif

Re: VesperBat - LA game for new players - open
 

Oh man, still no turn by Jomon. I'll PM him and e-mail him.

jmb - let me know when you're going, and I'll postpone hosting for a couple of days. It's unfortunate, but we really don't want people missing turns so early in the game.

Re: VesperBat - LA game for new players - open
 

Sorry everyone, I finally made my turn. I did not notice the game had started... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: VesperBat - LA game for new players - open
 

Guys, I will be out from tomorrow 09:30 to sunday 23:30. I have already send my second turn to llamaserver and queued some regular units. So, when all turns 3 and 4 are in except mine, please host the new turn. Naturally, if you want to wait for me, or take only one turn in the meantime, it would be greatly apreciated, but if you don't, there is really no problem. Sorry, the problem was unexpected.

Re: VesperBat - LA game for new players - open
 

Damn jomon you need to pay better attention homie. Isn't it common courtesy to take the next turn immediately if you're the last one to go?

Re: VesperBat - LA game for new players - open
 

I do agree. If you are last to put your turn in can you please have 2 turns.
Should never have to wait for the same guy twice in a row.

Re: VesperBat - LA game for new players - open
 

... so... may I suggest... an initial alliance... like... everyone against Jomon? :-D

Re: VesperBat - LA game for new players - open
 

Hah,

Well I was inclined to agree, but Jomon has caught on and had 2 goes last time. But a possible note of warning I think for people who take too long. I will be sure to get my turns in quick. 11 v 1 would be pretty steep odds.

Re: VesperBat - LA game for new players - open
 

"Come on,
let's bunch up on
Jomon!"

Re: VesperBat - LA game for new players - open
 

So,, suck my dick kamamura, and don't ask for allies to get [censored] by the true Godö

Re: VesperBat - LA game for new players - open
 

Why don't you gang up upon yourself- you dickmouth?

Re: VesperBat - LA game for new players - open
 

You're so newbie I'll get stuck in the [censored] you throow in the forum, you [censored]- kamamura.

Re: VesperBat - LA game for new players - open
 

Ehm... you made yourself very clear both about your manners and maturity.

Re: VesperBat - LA game for new players - open
 

Sorry, but I don't like you being so aggressive [censored] about people like me- so get an alliance against yourself if you like ganging on the weakerside, you ****head!

Re: VesperBat - LA game for new players - open
 

I'm not so mature as you may think...

Re: VesperBat - LA game for new players - open
 

Kamamura - which nation are you? I'll get to you.

Re: VesperBat - LA game for new players - open
 

Whoah Kyosti, that's quite enough of that! Any more bad language, or even generally offensive behaviour, and I will kick you without hesitation. That kind of attitude is absolutely not the point of the game.

Impressively, I think this is actually the first instance of bad language I've ever seen on the forum. I guess we are generally pretty lucky.

By the way Kyosti, I think Kamamura was fairly obviously joking.

Re: VesperBat - LA game for new players - open
 

Sorry, I was out of line there... Too much beer, no sense of humour.

Re: VesperBat - LA game for new players - open
 

Okay cool, thanks for the apology. Right, on with the Ascension Wars!

Re: VesperBat - LA game for new players - open
 

Right, after such an impressive display of diplomatic skill, let's get back to killing innocent independents and magic research. But, once the world turns out to be a small place, and the borders clash... you know where the territory ripe for conquest lies :-)

As Mulak-Tuk, the great Innuit shaman said - "A man who cannot rule his own temper is hardly fit for ruling a nation".

Re: VesperBat - LA game for new players - open
 

As I said earlier..

barbarians.. hah

Re: VesperBat - LA game for new players - open
 

I recently checked out the names of other people's gods. I think I might have gone a bit overboard with my title, but only by comparison.

Re: VesperBat - LA game for new players - open
 

It seems everyone except me has taken the time to come up with a good name for their pretender. I'm ashamed. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/redface.gif

EDIT: This game is starting to move forward faster, nice!

Re: VesperBat - LA game for new players - open
 

As far as pretender names go, I like Heideger the most. Ingenious!

Re: VesperBat - LA game for new players - open
 

Same here. I'm leaving now for two days, so when turns 5 and 6 come due I won't be here, but just go ahead and host them and I'll try to catch up when I come back (the more challenge, the more fun http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif )

Re: VesperBat - LA game for new players - open
 

I would rather avoid people missing turns, so I've postponed the timer by 48 hours - hopefully that is a good amount of time for everyone to get back. Apologies to the rest, but it's best if everyone is able to take all their turns.
