Re: Nub Bash 2010 - Late Age - Recruiting
 

As legolasjrt has not contacted me about whether or not they're fine with no PBEM, I am assuming they've dropped, luckily with Herr, we still have ten players. I am starting the countdown now. The game will start tomorrow, anyone who wants in had better post in here quick. We will be using the 4up OGRE map, ans the endgame diversity mod along with CBM 1.6

Re: Nub Bash 2010 - Late Age - Recruiting
 

Corvus
It would probably be a good idea if your first post contained a link to the map image file, not only .map files

update:
Just looked at the map here and was totally shocked.
Guys, are you joking? Considering we have 9 land(or semi-land) players, it means 47 provinces per player. It means this game will last forever and thus is unacceptable at least for me (and, I'm pretty sure, for the most of you if you think about it). I tend to play on Alexander which is a pretty balanced map but even its 246 land provinces is extremely much for 9 land players.
If this map and the ages-lasting game is the final choice, I resign. Sorry.

Re: Nub Bash 2010 - Late Age - Recruiting
 

I thought it was rather large, but its what people voted for. And I would hate to have to put my foot down and ignore the players votes... So, would anyone like to change their votes? People would probably just go AI.... yeah we're using Cradle. Unless you can manage to get 3 votes for a different map by tomorrow.

Re: Nub Bash 2010 - Late Age - Recruiting
 

Cradle of Dominion works. It's about the right size. I would vote for that. It's also attractive and well-trod so no need to "fix" anything.

Re: Nub Bash 2010 - Late Age - Recruiting
 

Yes, it is a fine map, although still pretty unbalanced. If you happen to start at the eastern all-swamp region, it's almost definitely game over. So, if people want, we may hand-place the starts to make it a bit more balanced and fun to play. If not, so be it.
Also, there're still provinces with only two neighbors, namely 1,2, 216 and more. Probably, hand-placing the starts might be a good idea

Re: Nub Bash 2010 - Late Age - Recruiting
 

I´d agree with him.

Re: Nub Bash 2010 - Late Age - Recruiting
 

I vote for Cradle of Dom. Players won't start in any swamp provinces for cradle, and there's prevention system which prevents you to start with less than 3 or 4 neighbers in most of those maps that came with the game.

Re: Nub Bash 2010 - Late Age - Recruiting
 

I vote for cradle too.

Re: Nub Bash 2010 - Late Age - Recruiting
 

If we are to start the uploading of pretenders today, we need a port number please.

Re: Nub Bash 2010 - Late Age - Recruiting
 

Ogre is a nice looking map. But it is probably best with a larger number of players. For new players, one of the game included maps such as cradle (may have the benefits of not needing to be downloaded) maybe be better.

If Ogre is used with smaller number of players, you'd probably want to institute VPs either static or accumulation method, and a VP victory condition to prevent the game from running on forever. Accumulation method can provide even greater control of game length so might be more useful with this map.

Not to say that large numbers of provinces per player are not fine for some players who may like it. Or for games with an RPG/Scenario element, where there are other goals, victory conditions, and other things going on.

Re: Nub Bash 2010 - Late Age - Recruiting
 

Ogre is really only appropriate for very large games (21 land & 3 water players).

Re: Nub Bash 2010 - Late Age - Recruiting
 

In addition to the Cradle map vote, I would also be in favor of a VP condition. Kill all will generally end in a stalemate or capitulation. No one wants to conquer 100 well-defended provinces from a dude with a gem income in the 100s.

Re: Nub Bash 2010 - Late Age - Recruiting
 

I'm sorry but as this game didn't start, I took over a position of turn-90 Pythium which requires a tremendous amount of time, so, most probably, I have to skip this game. Please, don't count on me. It will be clearer in the nearest days if I'm able to maintain everything but probably not.

Re: Nub Bash 2010 - Late Age - Recruiting
 

oi vey impatient people, I can't log on first thing in the morning. And the game is going up as soon as he puts it up and sends me the port.

Re: Nub Bash 2010 - Late Age - Recruiting
 

I understand, Corvus. I just have had free time and could not resist an attraction of looking at lategame Pythium that needed a sub. And although it is rather complex I decided to take over.
I actually have developed pretender and strategy as Agartha so if the game doesn't start Tuesday evening, I might as well jump in if there's still place. Sorry once again for inconvenience.

Re: Nub Bash 2010 - Late Age - Recruiting
 

Since there are concerns with the Ogre map, I vote for Cradle of Dominions.

Re: Nub Bash 2010 - Late Age - Recruiting
 

Is End Game Diversity mod going to be on too?

Re: Nub Bash 2010 - Late Age - Recruiting
 

Yes.

Re: Nub Bash 2010 - Late Age - Recruiting
 

game.dom3minions.com
port 12341

I think the double post is forgivable?

Re: Nub Bash 2010 - Late Age - Starting
 

I usually edit unless the post is needed to keep record, so we can start upload our pretenders now?

Re: Nub Bash 2010 - Late Age - Starting
 

Yep.

Re: Nub Bash 2010 - Late Age - Starting
 

Doesn't seem to work for me..How come when i connect to server and i'm to choose nation to play..marignon is not there for me? I have pretender done.

Re: Nub Bash 2010 - Late Age - Starting
 

I uploaded my pretender last night, but I cannot seem to connect this evening...

Server down?

Re: Nub Bash 2010 - Late Age - Starting
 

Someone hit start before everyone uploaded pretenders -_- The servers being rolled back so I think people will have to re-upload pretenders. People who downloaded a turn file need to delete those files on their machine. And when I find out which nation rus stands for, you're getting a smack on the wrist for hitting start. That smack on the wrist being MY WRATH INGAME BWAHAHA.

Re: Nub Bash 2010 - Late Age - Starting
 

Due to my Edit button not being there, I'll have to double post. Server is back up, and only Mictlan and Pythium will have to re-upload their gods. Now, ano, are you in or not? Need an answer whether to wait for you.

Also, Kupiko, what exactly is the problem? Are you clicking on Marignon in the list and nothing happens? Are you not able to connect?

Re: Nub Bash 2010 - Late Age - Starting
 

I think he tried to get in after it started without him.

Re: Nub Bash 2010 - Late Age - Starting
 

I was politely waiting for everyone to join and let the admin start it... I'll re-upload...

Re: Nub Bash 2010 - Late Age - Starting
 

That was...strange. Well, Pretender reuploaded.

Re: Nub Bash 2010 - Late Age - Starting
 

Yeah that was the problem. The game started before i uploaded my pretender. It's ok now :)

Re: Nub Bash 2010 - Late Age - Starting
 

No, I'm not in, sorry.
Good luck for everybody and have fun

Re: Nub Bash 2010 - Late Age - Starting
 

I was one who blundered on and hit "start." I simply didn't know better.

I will now go in and delete the 2H file. Then re-upload my pretender, and not hit start.

My apologies, but it was an honest mistake.

Re: Nub Bash 2010 - Late Age - Starting
 

And now when I did that, the screen still says I have played my turn, even though all I did was accept Pythium as my nation.

What am I doing wrong?

Re: Nub Bash 2010 - Late Age - Starting
 

Dont press the button to start the game. Let Corvus do that when he has all the people he wants in it.

After uploading your pretender you might have to scroll down abit to see the disconnect button. You just want to disconnect.

Re: Nub Bash 2010 - Late Age - Starting
 

When connecting to see wether the game has started, I get a rather strange phenomenon. First of all, I thought we were supposed to be 10 players, so why si the game started with only 9 nations? Second, when I then select Mictlan, he changes the screen to the "receiving turn"-screen, though the bar never fills and instead just start to flash, with the normal turn screen inbetween flashing trough. If fast enough, I can click exit, but never play my turn, as I then get "error ret turn file". What the h...?

Re: Nub Bash 2010 - Late Age - Starting
 

My bad. Forgot to delete the fatherland file before restarting the game. Try now

Re: Nub Bash 2010 - Late Age - Starting
 

After connecting I return to the Choose a nation for your pretender-screen with "StartGame/Disconnect" at the bottom. I suppose we are waiting thus for number 10?

Re: Nub Bash 2010 - Late Age - Starting
 

yes. Well actually its not set to start on a set number of joiners like some games. Its waiting for Corvus to start it (unless he tells me he wants it setup for something else)

Re: Nub Bash 2010 - Late Age - Starting
 

Looks like we're just waiting on Agartha to upload pretender then?

Re: Nub Bash 2010 - Late Age - Starting
 

Ano has stated they got involved in another game and probably won't be able to play, I'm gonna start without them.

Game started.

Re: Nub Bash 2010 - Late Age - Starting
 

Since you say "game started" I went in and played my turn. FYI

Re: Nub Bash 2010 - Late Age - Started
 

Marignon staled turn 4... and appears to have staled for the last 2 turns (3 and 4).

Re: Nub Bash 2010 - Late Age - Started
 

I vote we delay until Marignon gets in or we get a sub.

Re: Nub Bash 2010 - Late Age - Started
 

Agreed.

Re: Nub Bash 2010 - Late Age - Started
 

Well sorry i had trouble there with access to internet. Hope it's sorted now..Anyway i'm not getting email notifications although i've sent 2 Pms to Gandalf already. It might cause some stales, cause i tend to forget when should be the turn time :( I am not so often checking.

Re: Nub Bash 2010 - Late Age - Started
 

I'll send him a PM and ask whats what.

Re: Nub Bash 2010 - Late Age - Started
 

Thanks corvus he replied and it got sorted. My notifications were sent to spam and so i didn't see them.

The problem now is that my internet access problem just got more serious and i might have to drop. I'll post asking if someone would like to take over.
I apologise for the trouble.

Re: Nub Bash 2010 - Late Age - Started
 

Marignon looks stale for 1-2 turns. He has missed a few early turns and will therefore be no more than a free gem site for the nearest opponent. We need to either (a) pause and replace him or (b) turn him AI.

I vote for (a) Pause and Replace.

Re: Nub Bash 2010 - Late Age - Started
 

Oops... Now I staled. NP... I should be all good.

Re: Nub Bash 2010 - Late Age - Started
 

Kupiko, would it help if we switched to 48 hour turns? I'd really hate to kick you, but if you stale too much there aren't many options.

Re: Nub Bash 2010 - Late Age - Started
 

Due to my edit button disappearing again -_-. It would appear Marignon has turned themselves AI.
