I sent mine without password protection, so I have resent him this morning with password protection.

Re: New game for newish players- MA
 

pff, doesn't seem tedious to me:( but i guess i like world domination...

Re: New game for newish players- MA
 

World domination is pretty much the name of the game. >.>

But it can become a bit tedious when you are obviously dominant, but are forced to go through the motions of squeezing every last breath from every single person who has wronged you in the past. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif

Re: New game for newish players- MA
 

Oops forgot to set password too, resent pretender.

Well, its sent..
 

But it would be good if the email address was a valid email.

Re: Well, its sent..
 

isn't that the most fun:) time to rub it in, what they get for messing with you kinda thing:)

Re: Well, its sent..
 

huh? It is a valid e-mail address. Double check to make sure you are spelling it right. Just in case: the first word is glory. The second word is karsten. The third is name. If you are referring to the name part as being a little odd, I thought so too in my first game, but it works nonetheless http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif

Re: Well, its sent..
 

sorry i have to step out of this, since im 3 days away due to my job....

Re: Pretender status
 

You'd have had mine.. except the email... bounced...

And if hosting is a problem.. I don't mind doing it.. in fact I'd kind of like to. Gives me some practise on doing that.

Re: Well, its sent..
 

I'm referring to the fact it doesn't have a domain.. a .com etc. And the fact I've sent it 2x now and gotten bounce messages...

Re: Well, its sent..
 

Oh hell.. its DOT name.

Sorry man.. I looked at it and looked at it.. and my (old) eyes simply could not make out that dot. And thats WITH new glasses.

Ok.. I've sent it in (again) ... but I'd really rather just host. I've done so for about 30 lan games.... and I've got 6 computers around here.. so no problem dedicating one to it....

Re: Well, its sent..
 

heh, good stuff, who else are we missing?

Re: Well, its sent..
 

Atlantis Pretender just sent

Re: New game for newish players- MA
 

http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/biggrin.gif i think i got it boy the first time is a pain. please let me know if you have received my file. Bwhaha

Re: New game for newish players- MA
 

looks like we're just waiting for Pangaea and Eriu

Re: New game for newish players- MA
 

http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/confused.gif ok, how about now, did you get it? god windows vista is such a pain if your used to old windows http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/rolleyes.gif

Re: New game for newish players- MA
 

I don't know if this is kosher, but as we weren't all in, I just submitted a different take on my pretender. I apologize if that's bad form, I'm just kind of itchy, and when I checked him again I noticed a terrible error. I'll accept your decision either way, and fight my best. <3

Re: New game for newish players- MA
 

You can submit changes to your pretenders as long as the game isn't started, no problem.

Re: New game for newish players- MA
 

Laughing last game jim.. I sent in four designs.. all before hosting started.

anything up to game start is ok with me afaic.

Re: New game for newish players- MA
 

Thanks, I just feel terribly awkward when I don't know the rules. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

And I've never played MA Agartha..... I just threw darts at the nations that weren't taken yet. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif So it's culture, system, and probably soon to be shell shock. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Re: New game for newish players- MA
 

hi guys and gals i was just wondering if my pretender made it through? is there a means to check? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/biggrin.gif

Re: New game for newish players- MA
 

Does reading the thread count as a means? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Re: New game for newish players- MA
 

I have listed all the pretenders that I received on Page 4.

Re: New game for newish players- MA
 

As of this post we are just waiting for Pangaea

Re: New game for newish players- MA
 

its been days why don't we just start = )

Re: New game for newish players- MA
 

I messaged him to let him know and he said he would get it in today. So hopefully we will be starting very soon.

Re: New game for newish players- MA
 

http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif hi, i was wondering, what improv rules are we playing with? was told it convention not to copy bogus's crews orders, fire commanders, and attack commanders. also its not kosher to use phantasmal army and a kill all spell, for example wrathfull sky, or heat from hell. beyond this what else is not to be done? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Re: New game for newish players- MA
 

Attacking Machaka before turn 50 is also against the rules http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif.

Re: New game for newish players- MA
 

i like that, well said http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif its late i think we have at least one more day. by the way be afraid of ermor their damn preists have apostacy which hurts you more than me. your sacred spiders after they lose their riders has a mag resist of 8, ouch having them turn in battle can really hurt. i suggest mag resist spells http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Re: New game for newish players- MA
 

Thanks for the pointer. I am actually currently learning this in a game I am playing at the moment where I am fighting ermor. I switched from sacred spiders to normal spiders. Not as tough but at least I don't have to fight my own men.
Oh and by the way with no rider they have MR of 5, even more ouch. Although to be honest his nether darts backed up be skele spam is hurting a lot more.

Re: New game for newish players- MA
 

Pretender sent, I guess we're about ready to get this one on the road!

Concerned about having to get 9 out of 15 capitals... yikes. Want to just go with 7 like we did with Ascendant?

Are we going with a random map or Glory of the Gods? Never played on that one... does it have smoothed out starting locations so everyone has 5 provinces next to their capitals or something?

I think I'd just prefer a random map with victory markers NOT SHOWN. It kinds of spoils the early game it seems when you know where all the capitals are and everyone starts rushing exactly toward everyone else. And a random map has an equal chance of screwing you as helping you, that's perfectly fair.

Re: New game for newish players- MA
 

I've just sent in a slighty altered Pretender design if that's ok. If it's too late then no worries :-)

Re: New game for newish players- MA
 

Ooook.. well this is taking so long..
I'm heading to orlando in 11 hours.. and I won't be back until sunday night.

Hope we can wait until then...

Re: New game for newish players- MA
 

for the first turn we will have a 48 hour time limit so it should be fine

Re: New game for newish players- MA
 

Hey guys, really sorry but I just got an invite to my sister's college graduation and so I'm leavin tonight and won't be back until MOnday morning. If game starts before than, replace me, and if not, I'll see ya all Monday. Again, really sorry for the inconvenience, but my sister got her Master's Degree so I'm pretty stoked and I'm gonna drive out there.

Re: New game for newish players- MA
 

Hi, well this sucks, how about a cut off time say 12 noon sunday? I'm sorry but i've played huge monster board games Wif, war in the pacific, empires at arms, ect... how we deal with people not being available is we appoint a sub to keep the game going. cant we do this? im sure the various players all have war game geeks to fill in for them. but lets set a solid start time and if you miss it without a sub, you get dropped. Bwaha

Re: New game for newish players- MA
 

So you'd rather that everyone around the new AI nation gets a huge advantage throughout the game, rather than just start it a day or three late?

Who cares, the game goes for months and months. I for one can wait for the full roster. Have some patience, Bwaha, this ain't SP! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: New game for newish players- MA
 

okay, i'm just chomping at the bit. i so want to play till my eyes bleed this weekend. i'm new to this game and want to ty some ideas. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: New game for newish players- MA
 

Hahaha, I can totally relate. By the way, there is also a Dueling Club where you can get in on some blitz games.

Re: New game for newish players- MA
 

Hey all, sorry for the delays, but judging from the replies from chrispedersen and Cadel it's not that bad that we waited with starting the game... And I even got an updated pretender just a few hours ago again, too! *cough*

Bwaha, what you sent me was not a pretender file. Fetch your pretender from the newlords folder. You can create it in Game Tools -> Create Pretender God. As soon as I have your pretender, I can start the game, everything else is set up.

Re: New game for newish players- MA
 

sorry bout that it's just that i decided that a different god build would work better for Abysia

Re: New game for newish players- MA
 

No, it's fine, I was actually trying to distract from the fact that it took me so long to set this game up. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif
It's partly because I've been busy with this, BTW: http://www.shrapnelcommunity.com/thr...594#Post609132

Re: New game for newish players- MA
 

thats fine, anything that makes mp easier is a good thing

Re: New game for newish players- MA
 

argghh i thought i was ready but i failed. damn it i'm getting pissed off. i sent my pretender oh about four times. i'm not mad at anyone but window vista, it wont talk to gmail so i have to do just keep trying diferent options. i'm so sorry. Bwaha

Re: New game for newish players- MA
 

... aaaand the game is live. Check your email boxes for info.

Re: New game for newish players- MA
 

first turn and things are looking good

Re: New game for newish players- MA
 

so I joined the game, but i noticed that I have no saved pretender for Mid Ermor - im not sure..is it possible to join a game without a pretender setup?
