Re: Frechdachs Gangbang (running)
 

Bluebird, presume you mean that those three paragons of intellect didn't have passwords, not that they did and everyone else didn't? And that you'll be deleting non-password protected pretenders/nations before starting if they haven't updated them?

Re: Frechdachs Gangbang (running)
 

"I have discovered that 3 players (...) did have pretenders without passwords." is the same as "I have discovered that 3 players (...) didn't have pretenders with passwords."

All other pretenders (thats 11) were fine.

I have removed the corresponding pretenders, coobe has already corrected his.

Re: Frechdachs Gangbang (running)
 

Sorry, could have sworn i protected my pretender. He is now uploaded and fully passworded.

Re: Frechdachs Gangbang (running)
 

Sorry about that, uploaded with a password.

Re: Frechdachs Gangbang (running)
 

Ok, check the md5 sums, I will start the game this evening ... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Frechdachs Gangbang (running)
 

Is it still possible to join this game? It would be my first dom3 game but i played many dom2 mps.

I could upload my pretender very shortly.

edit: i would play Mictlan if possible

Re: Frechdachs Gangbang (running)
 

Sorry - it is too late. We have already delayed the start for too long.

Re: Frechdachs Gangbang (running)
 

THE GAMES HAVE STARTED (hopefully for good)

Re: Frechdachs Gangbang (running)
 

Wow. My position and my nation just SCREAM "Most Likely To Be Quickly Steamrolled."

Here's hoping I get to enjoy this one for more than 20 turns. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Frechdachs Gangbang (running)
 

Hmm... an interesting development ... my sea nation has NO bordering sea provinces ...

Re: Frechdachs Gangbang (running)
 

is it the cursed game? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Frechdachs Gangbang (running)
 

Lol - guess that's one drawback to using the random maps for MP games. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Although actually, the drawback has to do with the horrible mechanism Dominions has always had for placing starting positions - doesn't pay much if any attention to how close nations start, even if half the map is empty, and doesn't pay attention to # of neighboring provinces and whatnot.

Re: Frechdachs Gangbang (running)
 

My position is like.. VPs? You want VPs? Oh, I'm sorry, I thought you wanted to be as far away as possible ><

Re: Frechdachs Gangbang (running)
 

[img]/threads/images/Graemlins/icon45.gif[/img] Well - it does not seem to be over yet. So, map starting location on 135 fixed, first turn reseted, game restarted, QH disabled (Atlantis cannot play on the weekend). http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/evil.gif

Here we go again ............ http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

Re: Frechdachs Gangbang (running)
 

Haha much appreciated. =) Though I was willing to simply play it out just for challenge factor. =)

Re: Frechdachs Gangbang (running)
 

Ill be gone for the next 48 hrs but I did post 1st turn after the map redo so maybe everyone can get one turn in over the weekend.

Thanks,
Chris aka Atlantis

Re: Frechdachs Gangbang (running)
 

Bloody hades. I'll see how it looks after the first turn, but I suspect I'm going to quit playing games with random maps -- too many unplayable positions, too many restarts, and I'm now looking at a probably unplayable position.

Illwinter? It's be _real_ nice if you made sure no one's starting positions too many, or too few, neighbors, given how important the capitol is now. One hint : If a province has too many neighbors and is chosen for a start/capitol, either look again, or reduce the number of neighbors.

And if someone has too few viable neighbors (something like water province start, 2 or 3 water province, land start, 3 or 4 minimum) either throw out the starting positions, or add a connection to somewhere.

Re: Frechdachs Gangbang (running)
 

This is the first time I've seen a problem with it.. though this is my first game with this many people.

May the best Machaka win http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Re: Frechdachs Gangbang (running)
 

New turn is up, with two stales.

Re: Frechdachs Gangbang (running)
 

Umm... it seems that this is the reason why there were two stales =\

Re: Frechdachs Gangbang (running)
 

You think Atlantis got _both_ stales? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Re: Frechdachs Gangbang (running)
 

No, Atlantis just staled once. I had times Atlantis to have 48 hours of time (by restarting the server - which I had to do anyway), but obviously it looked like this was not sufficient. Well - all will be fine, I hope, though "Ag" is still missing and there are only 3h left. I will just continue with 24h, one or two stale turns should not kill anybody and I want to keep this game going.

Re: Frechdachs Gangbang (running)
 

Is it on 24h quickhost? Because, given that most of y'all are on European schedules and I'm working days, that makes it -very- difficult to time when I need to be available to hand in a turn.

*sigh* I should have paid closer attention when signing up. 48h generally gives me plenty of time to adjust and handle turns. 24h, given my schedule, is a bear.

Re: Frechdachs Gangbang (running)
 

Luckily only 1 stale. A few stales will only affect how quickly a noob like myself will lose.

Re: Frechdachs Gangbang (running)
 

Ok - switching to 36h quickhost to make it easier.

Re: Frechdachs Gangbang (running)
 

I have added a status page (see initial posting) where you can easily check the current game status.

Re: Frechdachs Gangbang (running)
 

***BREAKING NEWS***

Atlantis wins first Tournament of Champions!

Pretender Nations fear to challenge the might of the Champion of Atlantis.

The reputation of the mighty champion of Atlantis precedes him. The cowardly opposition has failed to field any challengers, knowing that they had no chance of success. This has resulted in a glorius victory for our champion and for all of Atlantis.

All praise the new Tournament Champion!

Re: Frechdachs Gangbang (running)
 

Argatha and Jomon seems to be running into problems. =(

Re: Frechdachs Gangbang (running)
 

I am away Sunday and Monday. As a result, this evening (Saturday) after hosting, I will switch to 72h QH. Also, I will apply patch 3.01 to the server. SO ALL FUTURE TURNS HAVE TO BE COMMITTED USING PATCH 3.01.

Re: Frechdachs Gangbang (running)
 

Oops, I just played my turn before reading this. I guess I should patch and then replay my turn? There is 58 hours till the next hosting, so there is time.

Re: Frechdachs Gangbang (running)
 

Are you certain we want to patch in light of the 3.01 bug of doom horrors attacking HoF heroes without horror mark or warning?

Re: Frechdachs Gangbang (running)
 

Well, the other 4 MP games I'm playing are patched so I guess I will be submitting 3.01 turns whether the server is patched or not.

Re: Frechdachs Gangbang (running)
 

I for one am not comfortable with the idea of having a death warrant out for every HoF commander, pretenders included.

I think we should revert the game back to unpatched, especially since JK said a hotfix is not on the way.

Re: Frechdachs Gangbang (running)
 

Ok, after DDD has also decided not to use the patched version of the game, I think it is fair to stay with the unpached version as well. I have no clue what happens if we use turns created with the patched version. I have changed the timer back to 36h QH, please redo your turns 7 with 3.00 !!!

Re: Frechdachs Gangbang (running)
 

Ok, so I will probably need to install a second instance of the game. That should take care of the problem.

Re: Frechdachs Gangbang (running)
 

I saved my dom3.exe before patching. I patched and created a dom3.exe(this is v3.01), dom3_300.exe and dom3_301.exe. So, you can play some games with v3.00 and some games with v3.01.

Re: Frechdachs Gangbang (running)
 

I know that it is a nuisance, but there is little that I can do. As already said, the game is jinxed and it is just getting better and better. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

I'm sorry but I prefer have one that all these others

Re: Frechdachs Gangbang (running)
 

Um - given that a lot of those "fixes" only refer to documentation / descriptions, sizes, other trivial matters, or things that can't do anything for a game that's already started (all the modding stuff, pretender changes, etc), _yes_? Especially given that some of the "fixes" are lies - "fewer doom horrors (more unique horrors, yay!)".

Re: Frechdachs Gangbang (running)
 

My Pretender was just ganked by the Hunter of Heroes. I guess I should have just left it patched afterall! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif

Re: Frechdachs Gangbang (running)
 

Jeffr (pangaea) just had a nasty run in with some fire (he lost 28 f9a9 white centaurs or so).

The moral of the story: dont screw with the inquisition

Re: Frechdachs Gangbang (running)
 

Ui - 28 f9a9 on one side? What was on the other side?

Re: Frechdachs Gangbang (running)
 

Shadows and Flame?

Re: Frechdachs Gangbang (running)
 

Well i killed 28 units (and 1 commander) and i dont remember any other units being there (but there may have been, it was msotly white centaurs though) so im guessing it was 28 f9a9 blessed white centaurs. On my side i had a bunch of crossbows (pretty poor since the air shield makes most miss and those that hit just make them berserk) and a couple of middle class mages.

Re: Frechdachs Gangbang (running)
 

Well, that didn't turn out too well for the home team, did it? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif Maybe it's time for plan B.

Re: Frechdachs Gangbang (running)
 

Well seeing as it was a battle in MY home province i think it went well for the home team http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

Re: Frechdachs Gangbang (running)
 

JadedOne is obviously not playing anymore. I will try to contact him. If I do not get an answer, I will turn him to AI starting next turn.

<font color="green"> UPDATE: DONE </font>

Re: Frechdachs Gangbang (running)
 

Hey I have exam week, can I request an extension?

Re: Frechdachs Gangbang (running)
 

As requested by KissBlade, and because we are getting ahead in the game, I have adjusted the turn time to 48h.

Re: Frechdachs Gangbang (running)
 

Thanks! =D
