Re: Artifacts II - Recruiting
 

Well, it won't be a whole map, just custom locations. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

But thanks.

Re: Artifacts II - Recruiting
 

I suppose smoking mirror does not count as a human then?

Re: Artifacts II - Recruiting
 

Is 20hp the only actual distinction? Does Smoking Mirror have more than that? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/redface.gif

I'm having so much trouble making a Patala pretender..... I've always wanted to give them a shake, but really assumed no one else would jump on Jomon. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif Also my tests show that while I have some pretty neat gear, no combination of my starting items seems to result in a thug that can solo indies. What a bummer! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

Re: Artifacts II - Recruiting
 

Yeah, sorry, not quite human.

Re: Artifacts II - Recruiting
 

Yeah likewise Pyth was my second choice, didn't pay too much attention to the synergy of items with their units.. have no idea what to do with most of them, they don't fit at all. If anyone wants to trade for any pyth items (Boots of Antaeus the only ones I won't trade) let me know http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Recruitable thug nations, like the giant races (Gath scary, they were my first pick), are going the be the danger early on. Arco could be nasty too with Tempest

Re: Artifacts II - Recruiting
 

20 hp and new path cost can't be more than 10. Unfortunately smoking mirror got a new path cost of 20. Even though he is just as human as the other human pretenders! this is racism!

Re: Artifacts II - Recruiting
 

Obviously Smoking Mirror is some sort of genetic throwback, what with his poor ability to acquire new magical skills. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif

Maybe I should see if there's a good Patala guide (pretty sure there is), cause I must be missing something really cool I can do with them. Though, a somewhat "standard" idea isn't going to take me any indie provinces with their magic goodies, I don't think. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif

I am honestly totally amazed how often Light Infantry can get a double digits damage on a Naga with Robe of Invulnerability on..... it seems so very wrong.....

Anyone have a decent shield they'd be willing to part with? I got some neat stuff to trade. >.>

Re: Artifacts II - Recruiting
 

I have a Scutata Volterus up for grabs.. unfortunately not sure I really need anything Patala has (short of the artifacts themselves), its mostly thug equipment http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif

Re: Artifacts II - Recruiting
 

when can we upload pretenders?

Re: Artifacts II - Recruiting
 

Sent llamabeast the new map file, so as soon as it's on the server I can start it up and people can start uploading pretenders.

Re: Artifacts II - Recruiting
 

If there is still room I would like to join as Agartha if its still open

Re: Artifacts II - Recruiting
 

Game is now up to upload pretenders.

Psi: I'm afraid the map is now set for number of players... however in the quite likely event that somone drops and fails to upload their pretender, I'll let you know so you can take over.

Only five pretenders uploaded. Hopefully with the board up again, the pace will pick up.

i wasnt able to as i had not yet downloaded the mods ^^

You need only CBM 1.3 to create pretenders. You need both CBM 1.3 and artifacts holder mod to play.

Yeah i'll upload my pretender soonish

Re: Artifacts Forgery (starting soon)
 

Hey, I think I'm gonna drop out of this one. I tried a bunch of test builds on the map, and I'm really just not feeling inspired by any of them. Maybe I just need to play Patala in a non-modded game first, get a better feel for them.

If PsiSoldier still has some time on his hands, he can have my spot? <3

Re: Artifacts Forgery (starting soon)
 

how lame :P

Re: Artifacts Forgery (starting soon)
 

Looks like some people are unable to upload their pretenders for a week. Maybe they have no idea the game started or even forgot about it. Were they notified? If they were, and still not responding, shouldn't we start to search substitutions already?

Re: Artifacts Forgery (starting soon)
 

It appears that five people have yet to upload their pretenders:

Ossa: Ulm
Juffos: Man
Heinrich: Pan
JimMorrison: Patala
Bwaha: Bogarus

JimMorrison has quit and Bwaha is having some personal problems and went AI in several games. I wonder why the other three has not uploaded their pretenders yet. And we would need two subs.

Re: Artifacts Forgery (starting soon)
 

On the llamaserver game page http://www.llamaserver.net/gameinfo.cgi?game=Forgery there is some Chelms nation joined... As I recall there's no such a nation, so what does this mean?

Re: Artifacts Forgery (starting soon)
 

Chelms is LA man.

Re: Artifacts Forgery (starting soon)
 

Oh, right... :) Towers of Chelms, just figured it out, thought itwas some sort of bug, sorry... :)

Re: Artifacts Forgery (starting soon)
 

So, any opinions about the next step? Should I remake the map again with only 12 spots?

Re: Artifacts Forgery (starting soon)
 

i personally dont really care.
i guess we should get a roll call for whos still here/interested and yeah then just start.

Re: Artifacts Forgery (starting soon)
 

Maybe we'd change topic subject from "starting soon"to "recruiting", and find 4 more players?

Re: Artifacts Forgery (starting soon)
 

yeah, lets try and recruit 4 more. After the work you put in woul dbe a shame for it to be less than you planned

Re: Artifacts Forgery (starting soon)
 

Well, bad news, editing the title of the first post no longer edits the thread name on the new forum...

Re: Artifacts Forgery (starting soon)
 

I'll start a new topic with a link to this one.

Re: Artifacts Forgery (starting soon)
 

Ok I am trying to find Conceptual Balance and Artifacts Mods but with the update to the forums none of the old links work. Can anyone post a new link to the mods.

Re: Artifacts Forgery (starting soon)
 

Here you are.

Re: Artifacts Forgery (starting soon)
 

Got it. Thanks.

Re: Artifacts Forgery (starting soon)
 

Doyou still need players? And if so, which nations are available?

Re: Artifacts Forgery (starting soon)
 

Still do, Ulm, Bogarus or Pangaea.

Re: Artifacts Forgery (starting soon)
 

I'll take Ulm.

Jazzepi

Re: Artifacts Forgery (starting soon)
 

Ok, Ill take Pan

Re: Artifacts Forgery (starting soon)
 

This map is based on Antilarium map (the one with lots of choke points). Just to let you know. :)

Re: Artifacts Forgery (starting soon)
 

While that's annoying, as long as there aren't VPs filled with huge stacks of strange, powerful units NEXT TO MY CAPITAL, I doubt it'll be that bad.

Jazzepi

Re: Artifacts Forgery (starting soon)
 

so only need one more? hope we can fill it out, before someone else drops out suddently..

Re: Artifacts Forgery (starting soon)
 

Do you still need players? And if so, which nations are available?
Last time it was "Ulm, Bogarus or Pangaea" .. but Ulm and Pan are taken now .. which nations are considered "dropped out" now?

Re: Artifacts Forgery (starting soon)
 

Still room for Bogarus.

Re: Artifacts Forgery (starting soon)
 

Actually the choises are: Bogarus, Agartha, Midgard.

Re: Artifacts Forgery (starting soon)
 

The other two would mean redoing the map though. ;)

Re: Artifacts Forgery (starting soon)
 

Which should not be a problem. :) If you do not have time, I can help do the conversion easily.

Re: Artifacts Forgery (starting soon)
 

All 3 are not my top choices, actually, not my choice at all. Sorry, will pass on this ... :/

Re: Artifacts Forgery (starting soon)
 

Lets get this game started!

Jazzepi

Re: Artifacts Forgery (starting soon)
 

Maybe you'd like to upload pretender for a start?

As you can see here: http://www.llamaserver.net/gameinfo.cgi?game=Forgery everybody's just waiting for Ulm and Bogarus.

Re: Artifacts Forgery (starting soon)
 

Done. Actually I thought I had put it up earlier.

I'm pretty sure there's nobody for Bogarus.

Jazzepi

Re: Artifacts Forgery (starting soon)
 

Is it as tiny map as other artifact game? If it's big enough I could consider joining and filling that gap [assuming that place is free].

Re: Artifacts Forgery (starting soon)
 

Okay, I uploaded. Apparently I sent it to "artifact2" instead of "Forgery".

Now everything looks good.
