Don't worry, I will try to do step by step instrutions :-)

Re: The Ascension Wars: MA,12 players, no mods, newb friendly. [closed, choosing map]
 

Official Game name is "The Ascension Wars"

Lack of creativity apologized for :p

You can find help here. (Had to clarify it)

Re: The Ascension Wars: MA,12 players, no mods, newb friendly. [Submitting pretenders
 

Yeah, I was in the process of looking for that guide :p

Basically, Ragnorak: It's create a pretender using the game tools option, find the file in your savedgames/newlords folder, then e-mail to pretenders[ at ]llamaserver[ dot ]net. E-mail title should be "TheAscensionWars"

@Ragnarok-X:

@3V4JKZ2:
Never been in a game that needed a rule to enforce agreements (speaking about Dom1 & 2 here): players are very unlikely to not honour them, because opponents backstabbed develop grudges, & a bad reputation can bite you in future games (or even in the same one).

Some gaming groups enjoy a well executed backstab, that did not seem to be the case in this community, at least in my experience.

It's basically a repeated prisoner's dilemma, which makes diplomacy the most powerful tool in the game:

However, different interpretations of what was agreed are common (be that the word, or the spirit of the agreement), so disputes arise anyway.

Can one of the vets comment if we have to download and extract primea to our maps folder?

Re: The Ascension Wars: MA,12 players, no mods, newb friendly. [Submitting pretenders
 

@3V4JKZ2:
Do not remember, my last games were on Gandalf's server.Anyone else?

New players:
make sure you send the correct pretender, if you have created many different ones for a nation you will see something like this:

mid_vanheim_0.2h
mid_vanheim_1.2h
.....

If you are not sure which is the correct one, backup your newlords folder, delete the content and create the god again in the game. The single file showing now in the newlords folder will be your pretender. After sending it, you can restore your other builds.

llamaserver is labelling my mail as junk and returning it.

Looks like my SMTP server is blacklisted, gonna try to get it sorted.

Re: The Ascension Wars: MA,12 players, no mods, newb friendly. [Submitting pretenders
 

Check this website when you have everything submitted!
http://www.llamaserver.net/gameinfo....eAscensionWars

Re: The Ascension Wars: MA,12 players, no mods, newb friendly. [Submitting pretenders
 

Pretender submitted.

Re: The Ascension Wars: MA,12 players, no mods, newb friendly. [Submitting pretenders
 

same

Re: The Ascension Wars: MA,12 players, no mods, newb friendly. [Submitting pretenders
 

You will need to in order to open your turns.

I use yahoo, which works fine if your still having problems.

Re: The Ascension Wars: MA,12 players, no mods, newb friendly. [Submitting pretenders
 

Problem solved by creating a free account as suggested by Nightfall, I am in then.

Re: The Ascension Wars: MA,12 players, no mods, newb friendly. [Submitting pretenders
 

Pretender in.

Re: The Ascension Wars: MA,12 players, no mods, newb friendly. [Submitting pretenders
 

Ah crap... just noticed that there are a couple of phantom provinces on Primea with no conections...

Noticed 64,65 and 105 so far...

Re: The Ascension Wars: MA,12 players, no mods, newb friendly. [Submitting pretenders
 

Sent mine in. Huzzah.

Re: The Ascension Wars: MA,12 players, no mods, newb friendly. [Submitting pretenders
 

Re: Phantom Provinces: Teleport :P ... but either way, has lots of provinces anyways.

New players, make sure you remember to download and extract the map. Maybe even play a test game against some AI on the map, to get a sense of it.

We've got 3 people before turn 1 gets sent out.

Ragnarok; you said you submitted, but I've got you down for Pythium, and I don't see Pythium on the Llamaserver list.


4: Ragnarok-X: Pythium : First multiplayer
7: Pavonis: Arcoscephale: A few games
8: kennoseishin: T'ien Ch'i: A few games

Re: The Ascension Wars: MA,12 players, no mods, newb friendly. [Submitting pretenders
 

Pretender in. Glory to the Middle Kingdom!

Re: The Ascension Wars: MA,12 players, no mods, newb friendly. [Submitting pretenders
 

As long as when first turn goes out, everyone needs turn on map filters - neighbours and make sure that their capital province is connected.

Re: The Ascension Wars: MA,12 players, no mods, newb friendly. [Submitting pretenders
 

Yeah, good call. Though I couldn't find 64/65 when I checked, I could find 105. I tried just clicking on everything.

Re: The Ascension Wars: MA,12 players, no mods, newb friendly. [Submitting pretenders
 

Okay. I sent my pretender in.

Re: The Ascension Wars: MA,12 players, no mods, newb friendly. [Submitting pretenders
 

They are both alternate dimensions within 63... :eek:

150, 151 and 153 have a similiar dimensional thing going on, but those are at least connected.

Re: The Ascension Wars: MA,12 players, no mods, newb friendly. [Submitting pretenders
 

Whoops.

Let's say 64/65 (hiding in 63) and 105 (since it's easily visible on the map) are teleport/etcetera into, and 150/151/153 (hiding in one province) are connected, so whoever starts near there can fight it out for those strangely connected provinces if they so desire.

just waiting on Ragnarok, going to PM him to see if that gets to his e-mail.

Re: The Ascension Wars: MA,12 players, no mods, newb friendly. [Submitting pretenders
 

As long as somebody doesn't get caught starting in 105, in my first test single player game I started in a province with no exit. Tough staring position.

Re: The Ascension Wars: MA,12 players, no mods, newb friendly. [Submitting pretenders
 

I don't have any experience with trans-dimensional provinces, so does anybody think it will be THAT big of an issue?

Maybe a gentleman's agreement (or lady's, for any females) that nobody will build fortifications there?

Re: The Ascension Wars: MA,12 players, no mods, newb friendly. [Submitting pretenders
 

I cool with picking a new map, but for now all is well.

Re: The Ascension Wars: MA,12 players, no mods, newb friendly. [Submitting pretenders
 

Just in case we need to restart I cleaned up the .map file and uploaded it to llamaserver as Primea (Clean).

First time messing around with maps, but tested okay.

Re: The Ascension Wars: MA,12 players, no mods, newb friendly. [Submitting pretenders
 

Switching to that. Please be careful to make sure you download the newer map.

Re: The Ascension Wars: MA,12 players, no mods, newb friendly. [Submitting pretenders
 

Please note that I'll be out of town for the next four days, I'm expecting to have access to sufficient wifi to submit turns, but just thought I should let ya's know.

Re: The Ascension Wars: MA,12 players, no mods, newb friendly. [Submitting pretenders
 

...One to go (Pythium?), and the game can start...

Re: The Ascension Wars: MA,12 players, no mods, newb friendly. [Submitting pretenders
 

Way to be CoolBro. I'll download it when I get back from work today.

Once the game starts, is anybody interested in communicating In Character? Or just like we have been so far?

Re: The Ascension Wars: MA,12 players, no mods, newb friendly. [Submitting pretenders
 

Oh we can speak in Character.
Sadly my Pretender only speaks German, my people are apes and monkeys. So no help there...

Re: The Ascension Wars: MA,12 players, no mods, newb friendly. [Submitting pretenders
 

Hey Samoht, I know what we're going to do today. We're going to communicate in character!
Where's Pythium?

Re: The Ascension Wars: MA,12 players, no mods, newb friendly. [Submitting pretenders
 

Goddamn i made a mistake. I tought i was Man and submitted a Man god. Will do a pythium pretender in in next 2 hours, very sorry.

Re: The Ascension Wars: MA,12 players, no mods, newb friendly. [Submitting pretenders
 

Ossa, can you confirm that your submission went okay? Also, I'll be speaking semi-in character :p

Re: The Ascension Wars: MA,12 players, no mods, newb friendly. [Submitting pretenders
 

ah sorry - will redo it this evening. Sorry for the delay!

Re: The Ascension Wars: MA,12 players, no mods, newb friendly. [Submitting pretenders
 

If you submitted after Ragnarok did, it should be your pretender file up there. If you simply go to your e-mail and reforward it, it should use the correct pretender.

Re: The Ascension Wars: MA,12 players, no mods, newb friendly. [Submitting pretenders
 

done, again.

Re: The Ascension Wars: MA,12 players, no mods, newb friendly. [Submitting pretenders
 

The game started. I assume Ossa didnt submit his new pretender yet ?

Re: The Ascension Wars: MA,12 players, no mods, newb friendly. [Submitting pretenders
 

Everyone download your first turn and check it out. Ossa, please make sure you got the correct pretender. If not, we'll do a quick restart. If yes, we'll play it out.

New players, recall that you have to download and extract Nightfalls fixed version of the map.

Map is here

Re: The Ascension Wars: MA,12 players, no mods, newb friendly. [Submitting pretenders
 

There are little crowns on the map. I suspect these are victory points. I was under the impression I did not turn victory points on. Is this a big deal?

Re: The Ascension Wars: MA,12 players, no mods, newb friendly. [Year 1, 12/12 alive]
 

On Llamaserver Victory points show up on the map, if we play with them and if we dont play with them.

Just ignore them.

Re: The Ascension Wars: MA,12 players, no mods, newb friendly. [Year 1, 12/12 alive]
 

Each province with a crown you control spreads a bit dominion. Acts as a dominion 5 temple I think.

Re: The Ascension Wars: MA,12 players, no mods, newb friendly. [Year 1, 12/12 alive]
 

I got turn emails for man and pythium. I think its safe to say Ossa didnt submit or rather i was too fast in submitting.

Re: The Ascension Wars: MA,12 players, no mods, newb friendly. [Year 1, 12/12 alive]
 

wow, just missed u. got the game today

Re: The Ascension Wars: MA,12 players, no mods, newb friendly. [Year 1, 12/12 alive]
 

I didnt upload any pretender yet - and I did receive no email with a turn. Who submitted something for man;) ?

Re: The Ascension Wars: MA,12 players, no mods, newb friendly. [Year 1, 12/12 alive]
 

Alright, sorry guys, got to resubmit pretenders. Reseting the game.

Edit: Actually, it seems like only Ossa needs to resubmit his Man pretender, everyone else is good. Ossa, let me know once you've done this and I'll send out a new turn one.

Re: The Ascension Wars: MA,12 players, no mods, newb friendly.
 

Done!

Re: The Ascension Wars: MA,12 players, no mods, newb friendly.
 

Alright, everyone should make sure that worked and report any problems.

Re: The Ascension Wars: MA,12 players, no mods, newb friendly. [Year 1, 12/12 remaini
 

Again, i got turn files for man and pythium. If ossa got mans file too, its fine. If not, then the game is obviously my email for man and we need a new game.
