Re: Signup
 

Is there still place in the game? If yes I'd like to sign up

Re: Signup
 

OoohSnap:
Yes, there's plenty of space, so you're welcome. I just have to hope you won't be staling as much as in Highlander;)

We already have 16 players so I think I will assign teams and nations on Tuesday. Let's leave Monday for those who wanted to sign up but didn't do yet.

Re: Signup
 

Hehe thanks, I would like to apologize for stalling so much in the Highlander game. I had some problems with my schedule due to school and all, sometimes I even ended up in forgetting I had to play a turn http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/redface.gif

Re: Signup
 

I would like to sign up. Not played a team game before so it should be fun. No team mate.

ano - its probably because of summer that sign up is a bit slow, lots of people on vacation, etc and the megagame has probably absorbed lots of players.

Re: Signup
 

Actually, no problem with it) We, madmen, found your provinces to be of great use for our insane needs.

Meglobob:
You are welcome)

sum1lost just PM'ed me and said he won't be able to play, so we still have 16 people.

Re: Signup
 

Hey Meglobob, wanna team up?

Re: Signup
 

Sounds good to me http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

ano - can you put me & Baalz down as a team?

Re: Signup
 

Sure thing)

Re: Signup
 

so who needs a team mate then?

Re: Signup
 

I think that the best choice for everyone is to find a predictable teammate because what I read at the forums about random-made teams didn't inspire me at all.
Even if you are the best-of-all hardcore player you will most probably lose to your mediocre opponents who play as a team. That's actually true for almost any team game, RTS, for example.

Re: Signup
 

It's holiday time in France too, that cannot help. Furthermore, weather is good for the first time in months...

Hum, I went here because I wanted to join. I have no team mate though. I'm searching for one right now.

Re: Signup
 

I need one, want to team up?

Re: Signup
 

Me and my team-mate would love to join if there is still a place.

Re: Signup
 

Who is your teammate? If he's not registered provide some nickname, please.

Re: Signup
 

sure thing http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Signup
 

I need a teammate if anyone is still looking for one.

Re: Qwerty - MA team game. Sign up!
 

I'd like to join in with Sicaire as partner.

Re: Qwerty - MA team game. Sign up!
 

yep count me in with kheldron if there is still room for us

Re: Qwerty - MA team game. Sign up!
 

I'm still needing a partner too Hoplosternum. Actually I was about to send you a mail about it.

Re: Qwerty - MA team game. Sign up!
 

We have the only slot left.
It is reserved for WraithLord if he agrees to join and open otherwise. Still we do need this last person because everyone needs a pair.

Re: Qwerty - MA team game. Sign up!
 

How romantic. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Qwerty - MA team game. Sign up!
 

That was Noah who said so)

Re: Qwerty - MA team game. Sign up!
 

when will we know our races ?

Re: Qwerty - MA team game. Sign up!
 

Tomorrow (I mentioned it before) or once we get the last player. Also I need to know whether kasnavada and Hoplosternum form a team.
If they do then the only people without teams are Cor2, Ossa, and FAJ

Re: Qwerty - MA team game. Sign up!
 

Yep that's great. I'll team up with kasnavada.

Re: Qwerty - MA team game. Sign up!
 

you could already make the nation assignement =)

Re: Qwerty - MA team game. Sign up!
 

coobe
Understand that nation assignment means team assignment. I left Monday for those who either didn't sign up yet or didn't form a team.
I understand your impatience though;-)

We have only 3 lone players so probably I'll try to distribute everything today.

Re: Qwerty - MA team game. Sign up!
 

Great !

Re: Qwerty - MA team game. Sign up!
 

Will we start next to our teammate - i.e. are you placing us on the map? Or are the starting positions random?

Re: Qwerty - MA team game. Sign up!
 

I think that they will be random. I see no problem with it. However, this is open to discussion.

Re: Qwerty - MA team game. Sign up!
 

So... The drawing is done and you may enjoy your races and develop team strategies (see first post).
I think we'll start no earlier then Sunday and once we receive a teammate for Cor2 (WraithLord wanted to join but he said he won't be able to play until May, 20th) and have all pretenders uploaded.
I don't think it is worth making predefined starting locations on the map as I see no problem with random ones but that is open to discussion. Also if you have any suggestions on the game, map etc, let's discuss them.
I will also add the list of exploits I wouldn't like to see in the game. Suggestions are welcome.

Re: Qwerty - MA team game. Sign up!
 

Fine ! so we have the week to work some strategies out.

Re: Qwerty - MA team game. Sign up!
 

btw don't you think there is an error on the alexander map: province 276 should be Farmland I think.

Re: Qwerty - MA team game. Sign up!
 

Yes, it looks like a farmland... Probably, you should contact PashaDawg on this issue.

Re: Qwerty - MA team game. Sign up!
 

Looks like you have got the major exploits listed already ano.

I take it each individual team sorts out which of the 2 races they play between each another?

Random starting places may be unfair if lets say 2 teammates start next door to each another and another 2 on opposite sides of the map.

Re: Qwerty - MA team game. Sign up!
 

Actually wraparound map doesn't have opposite sides. And I am not sure that being close to each other is a big advantage. If you have better suggestion, let's do something. However, if we decide to make predefined locations, it would be better if someone more close to the map-making did it.
This has a downside too: when locations are predefined, very early rushes are available.

Answer to your second question is "yes". I mentioned this in the first post ("rules" section).

Re: Qwerty - MA team game. Sign up!
 

Province 276 is farmland on the latest version of the map. Note that the updated map file is posted in the thread a few posts below the first post in the map thread. If I got it wrong still, let me know. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Qwerty - MA team game. Sign up!
 

Sorry, but I am going to have to drop out of this one. I wont have time in the comming weeks and I don't want to make a commitment that I can't keep.

Re: Qwerty - MA team game. Sign up!
 

That's true - thanks ano for PMing me. However, I'll be back on the 20th so I'll need at least a day to contemplate my game strategy and more importantly discuss with Cor2 thus I'll only be able to start on the 21st. I hate to impose delays on the majority so I'll leave it up to you players and to ano to decide whether or not that can work. If so, I'll be happy to join this game and work together with Cor2, otherwise, no big deal, there's pleny of games to go around http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Qwerty - MA team game. Sign up!
 

FAJ
That's bad. Btw, you were in one of the strongest teams, IMO.

WraithLord
I think, we will wait for you if noone objects. Also we now have one more open slot and need to fill it.

Re: Qwerty - MA team game. Sign up!
 

http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/cool.gif

Thanks!

Re: Qwerty - MA team game. Sign up!
 

Hey Ill take open slot if it is still open that is http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Qwerty - MA team game. Sign up!
 

Now it is not open if you take it;)
Contact your teammate and prepare to battle)

Re: Qwerty - MA team game. Sign up!
 

Ill take it!!!

Re: Qwerty - MA team game. Sign up!
 

when is the deadline ? i dont get a response from my mate http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif

Re: Qwerty - MA team game. Sign up!
 

AFAIK sunday or so.

Re: Qwerty - MA team game. Sign up!
 

I'll contact llamabeast on game creation on Friday or Saturday. After that everyone will have to upload pretenders. Not sure about the deadline. As this is a team game, everyone should have his teammate. If the whole team will be missing after May, 21, we will start without it.

Re: Qwerty - MA team game. Sign up!
 

Sorry but I will have to leave this game due to stressing RL. I'm sorry.

Re: Qwerty - MA team game. Sign up!
 

Bad...
I opened the slot and will ask llamabeast today to create the game at server.
coobe, maybe you'll invite someone you'd like to team with?

Re: Qwerty - MA team game. Sign up!
 

I assume this means I'll have the 21th to submit my pretender. right?
