Re: Unknown Map, 8ish players, Age to be determined
 

im good with the game and the nation, but who do we send the gods too?

Re: Unknown Map, 8ish players, Age to be determined
 

For the records, MadFrancis: me and Apsophos switched nations, Mictlan <-> Shinuyama.

Re: Unknown Map, 8ish players, Age to be determined
 

Would the new warden of Shin care to try his hand with the statues of Agartha instead?

Re: Unknown Map, 8ish players, Age to be determined
 

No problem. This way the three of us who wanted to change are satisfied.

This makes :
46852 : Mictlan
Tichy : Shinuyama
Apsophos : Agartha

(unless, of course, other players oppose to this)

Re: Unknown Map, 8ish players, Age to be determined
 

Thanks a lot, Apsophos. I appreciate it.

So, where do we submit pretender files? And what is the deadline? I saw the earlier post that said Tuesday, but
3 am gmt. Is that 3am GMT Tuesday morning -- so tonight to us yanks?

Re: Unknown Map, 8ish players, Age to be determined
 

I was shooting for around 8PM Pacific Standard on Tuesday, but my math may be off.

Im just going to make a default Cradle map on LlamaServer, at which point we can all submit pretenders. I can change details as needed if we decide on them before the deadline.

Re: Cradle, 11 players, MA
 

So are we still going with the crazy resource, income, and other settings? I need to know this to build my pretender.

Re: Unknown Map, 8ish players, Age to be determined
 

No, that's right, and it's what I wanted to know. So 3am Wednesday morning GMT is our deadline, which is in the evening Tuesday for the west coast US.

Re: Cradle, 11 players, MA
 

Sounds to me like most people are against too much craziness. I'm just going to go with default settings, unless there is a large uproar about it in the next hour or so.

Re: Cradle, 11 players, MA
 

I believe it's better this way. Such randomness would favor some nations or pretender builds and then it's not a fair game.

Re: Cradle, 11 players, MA
 

Im having problems with the map. I am trying to have the whole map no start with the exception of 11 balanced starting positions. But when I test it out withh 11 human players the distribution is all wacky and some nations get placed ontop of others.

Anyone know why, or can anyone link me to a map editing tutorial?

Re: Cradle, 11 players, MA
 

Alright, clustering the start locations works pretty well. Now if only I could get LlamaServer to recognize my .map file as a valid file ...

Re: Cradle, 11 players, MA
 

I may be mistaken, but you may be limited, when using llamaserver, to the maps he has.
The reason i say that is I asked him if I could play a game using a map he did not have at a later date. and he said when i was ready to start the game, and it was tweaked the way i want it, he would add it to his list.

I think the reason he limited the maps was the amount of downloading involved. In any event, he will be back tomorrow and you can pm him then.

Gandalf has a server that is up and running, and you likely can play with your map on his server. That is tcp/ip however.

Re: MadCradle1, 11 players, MA - Submit Pretenders
 

Server name is MadCradle1, by the way.

Re: MadCradle1, 11 players, MA - Submit Pretenders
 

If you don't mind, MadFrancis, I'd like to drop off this game. I noticed there's another game starting where I can play Vanheim, the same nation I play in my first game.

I just started to think I might not have the time to get familiar with a new nation yet.

So if it's ok, could you just delete my freshly sent pretender?

If it's too much of a trouble or messes up the game somehow, I can try to hang in the game too, no problem.

Re: MadCradle1, 11 players, MA - Submit Pretenders (Need 1 more to play Mictlan)
 

I'm in that other game too, and with a nation I never played.
Well, I don't mind losing badly, and I know it's not everybody's case.

Re: MadCradle1, 11 players, MA - Submit Pretenders (Need 1 more to play Mictlan)
 

It's not the losing that I'm shunning, it's just the fact that I don't have the time to get familiar with another nation yet. Mictlan would've otherwise been an interesting nation to play... But still, when you got nine-to-five work and wife and kids at home, you don't really have the time to delve into nordic myths and the blood gods of the Aztecs all at the same time ;)

Really sorry to have dropped out of the game, but I'm glad I made the decision before the game started!

Re: MadCradle1, 11 players, MA - Submit Pretenders (Need 1 more to play Mictlan)
 

I am willing to play Mictlan if you still have that last spot, but I won't be able to send in a pretender until this evening CST (GMT -6)

Re: MadCradle1, 11 players, MA - Submit Pretenders (Need 1 more to play Mictlan)
 

I have sent my god in and i am all set

Re: MadCradle1, 11 players, MA - Submit Pretenders (Need 1 more to play Mictlan)
 

Okay.

Re: MadCradle1, 11 players, MA - Submit Pretenders
 

Hi -- Now that we're getting all ready to go, is there a way to change the first post to be an information page for the game (server, email address for turn submission, game name, players and their nations). It's always nice to have a quick reference.

If we can't edit posts anymore, maybe we should start a new thread for the game start.

Re: MadCradle1, 11 players, MA - Submit Pretenders
 

The first post can always be edited.

Jazzepi

Re: MadCradle1, 11 players, MA - Submit Pretenders
 

The map still is not being recognized as a valid file by LlamaServer. Until then we either use a map listed or we wait.

Re: MadCradle1, 11 players, MA - Submit Pretenders
 

Shall we just roll with the regular Cradle of Dominions? I have that in another game that I'm running and it's working great.

Re: MadCradle1, 11 players, MA - Submit Pretenders
 

Hey.

I created my pretender and then read the llamaserver FAQ so I think I know how to email it in. I don't have any mods, we aren't playing with any, are we? Should I go ahead and send my god in or should I wait for the map thing to get sorted out?

Re: MadCradle1, 11 players, MA - Submit Pretenders
 

Hello guys, I'm back from holiday. If you're having some kind of problem with the map submitter thing, please PM or e-mail me (I just skim-read this).

Re: MadCradle1, 11 players, MA - Submit Pretenders
 

We're all set to go. Just waiting on Pretenders. There was a stock Cradle map with 11 starts and 1 sea so i just used that.

Once Pretenders are in this game is all go.

And no, you don't need any mods.

Re: MadCradle1, 11 players, MA - Submit Pretenders
 

Sounds great. Just 3 pretenders to go. As an fyi - once the last pretender is in the game auto-starts - so any changes need to be done before then. Not that there should be any, just an fyi.

Re: MadCradle1, 11 players, MA - Submit Pretenders
 

Yeah, we are just waiting on Abysia/Jazzepi, Vanheim/GrudgeBringer, Bandar Log/slMagnvox to submit pretenders.

Re: MadCradle1, 11 players, MA - Submit Pretenders
 

It appears that the Llama Faq is out of order...

I know this is dumb as I am in 5 games but I forgot how to get my Pretender created. I know go to game tools ect but do I create it hit copy then paste it in a file in the game?

Re: MadCradle1, 11 players, MA - Submit Pretenders
 

Go to the Llama FAQ link at the bottom of the Server page ... it should take you directly to a thread in which it is laid out ... but you make your pretender in Game Tools, save and then email it to pretenders[@]llamaserver[.]net.

The subject of the email must be the server name

Re: MadCradle1, 11 players, MA - Submit Pretenders
 

Subject line needs to be the *game* name. "MadCradle1" I think...

Re: MadCradle1, 11 players, MA - Submit Pretenders
 

Okay ... MadCradle1 seems to have dissapeared. I am just going to repost a new game and hope it doesn't dissapear too. Please resubmit Pretenders .... :(

Re: MadCradle1, 11 players, MA - Submit Pretenders
 

E-mail Llamabeast if there's a bug.

Jazzepi

Re: MadCradle1, 11 players, MA - Submit Pretenders
 

Yup. He knows.

Re: MadCradle2, 11 players, MA - ReSubmit Pretenders
 

Don't bother doing a new game. I'll sort it all out this evening. Sorry you've had such troubles, the timing's been unfortunate with me going away (and then being busy for the last day), leaving the server with a couple of new glitches. It won't be hard to get MadCradle working again though.

Re: MadCradle2, 11 players, MA - ReSubmit Pretenders
 

When the server's back up, we play? I'm am prepared to send hordes of mokeys to their glorious chittering deaths. Kind of anticlimax if this game doesn't run considering all the hours I spent monkeying around with the AI. Hah.

Re: MadCradle2, 11 players, MA - ReSubmit Pretenders
 

Oh I know the feeling. I think I'm prepared to fight those darn archer indies now! Last time they boxed me in for ages, but not this time. Oh no. This time it's personal!

Re: MadCradle2, 11 players, MA - ReSubmit Pretenders
 

Pretenders can be sent now

Re: MadCradle2, 11 players, MA - ReSubmit Pretenders
 

i have my pretender sent in for the original game...

Do I need to resend it and if so what is the name of the NEW game,'

I am oK with my nation....

Re: MadCradle2, 11 players, MA - ReSubmit Pretenders
 

MadCradle2

Re: MadCradle2, 11 players, MA - ReSubmit Pretenders
 

i have sent my pretender into pretenders[ at ]llamaserver[ dot ]net (with Name MadCradles2) on the subject line twicw and have not got a received notifacation.

I know LLama had to redo his server ect so is the address still the same?

I checked on our game and my pretender has NOT been received as of now.

Re: MadCradle2, 11 players, MA - ReSubmit Pretenders
 

I got the notification that my pretender was received, but he's not on the list at llamaserver either. Weird. I'm sure things will be sorted out soon.

Re: MadCradle2, 11 players, MA - ReSubmit Pretenders
 

I deleted the original pretender and re-created a new one thinking maybe that was the problem.

Agian I sent the 2h file to the same address.

I have NOT received a confirmation NOR a mail undelivered notice and it doesn't show up on the received list.

I am somewhat computer challenged so if anyone knows what I am doing wrong please let me know.

Thanks!!!

Re: MadCradle2, 11 players, MA - ReSubmit Pretenders
 

A small request first: Please could people not explicitly post any e-mail addresses here? If you do, they will be picked up by spambots, and the address will start receiving spam. It's quite unfortunate. One way of getting round it is to write the address in a "munged" form, e.g. pretenders[ at ]llamaserver[ dot ]net.

The server's fully functional again now - hopefully your pretender is now visible Psycho. Everything should be smooth running from here.

Grudgebringer - I think your e-mails aren't getting through. It sounds like you're doing everything correctly.
1) Try e-mailing yourself. Does it arrive?
2) E-mail your pretender file to me. Then I can check everything is okay.

Re: MadCradle2, 11 players, MA - ReSubmit Pretenders
 

Also, I'd like to apologise again for the extraordinary bad luck this game's been cursed with, server-wise. The timing's been very unlucky. Thanks very much for all your patience.

Re: MadCradle2, 11 players, MA - ReSubmit Pretenders
 

He is visible now.

I think I may know what Grudgebringer's problem is. What did you put in the subject - MadCradle2 or MadCradles2? The first one is correct.

Re: MadCradle2, 11 players, MA - ReSubmit Pretenders
 

Yeah, he should still get an error message though. The LlamaServer replies to all e-mails, regardless of what's in them.

Re: MadCradle2, 11 players, MA - ReSubmit Pretenders
 

Ya know I e-mailed you direct a couple of weeks ago and you said the same thing...

I have noticed I am noew getting about 8 spams every time I log oN....(sigh) my bad!!!

I e-mailed myself and got it immediately back.

I am e-mailing my pretender in agian, it is Vanheim and I will mail it now at 8:45 AM CST (I don't know GMT sorry)/

If you have any ideas let me know because obviously I can post on here....

As I said my first pretender to the original game went thru.

Now I DID upgrade to 3.20 but it wouldn't take it before that. I also have my mods on and CBM is on...could that be the cause?

Thanks for all you do...your always gracious.:doh:

Re: MadCradle2, 11 players, MA - ReSubmit Pretenders
 

Grudgebringer, reread the quoted post, I think Psycho is right and this is what was going on?
