Apparently im missing the map file, i.e. the background bmp or jpg. where is it ?

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

First post.

Ossa, can you please confirm that you also got the man file?

Link to the map file.

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

nope, it says the game is already full:/
Before everyone has to resubmit - it might be easier if you change the email adress for man to mine and I'll just take the current pretender - whichever this is.

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

I'm not sure I can do that, but I'll try. PM me your e-mail?

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

Found it. Then I'll do that, and resend the turn.

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

Resent turn. Ossa, if you're okay with what you've gotten stuck with, then we're good to go.

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

He's dormant, so he should be ok. Turn sent.

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

:P You're a champion. I look forward to the reveal on that surprise.

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

If you want i can run a game for a year with the pretender and send you a screenshot once its awake.


edit: you have a pm

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

When are turns normally going to be due by?

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

It's 24 hours, so the e-mail should say. It went out ~3 hours ago, so ~21 hours from now? Quickhost means if everyone submits, it goes early (so if 17 hours in, the last person sends it in, the next turn goes out early with 24 hours)

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

I'm having trouble turning it in. Don't know why. Every time I turn in my turn, it tells me there is a problem. Don't know why.

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

Are you using the old turn file, or the resent one? And you're sending the .2h file, not the .trn file right?

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

Send in the .2h file.

Are there 2 trn files?

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

I asked the server to resend me my turn. I'll see if that helps!

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

Got it!

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

Glad to hear it. Just need 2 more (Mictlan and Bander Log) and we should see if we've really got this one working.

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

Did we an restart? I took a turn yesterday...
*dont forget to delete the old turn before sending a new first turn*

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

Yep, there was a restart, and yep, people should have sent the new version of their turn.

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

I might have trouble this weekend. I'll try to take all the files and run them on my wife's note book, but I'm a little worried.

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

It looks like Nightfall is about to stale (he has ~15 minutes), and I'm uncertain. Any of the vets; do you usually hold for people, or let stales go through?

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

Depends on the admin really. If I notice someone is about to stale I tend to extend the turn a bit.

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

Alright, postponed it 2 hours to give others time to weigh in. I sent Nightfall a private message, which I hope sends him an e-mail alert as well.

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

The first turn on llamaserver is automatically doubled.
He has until Saturday time...

Edit:
Next turn due: 23:17 GMT on Saturday February 11th

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

Hahahaha, oh. That explains it.

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

Okay, I can get Dominions to run off my flash drive, so I am okay this weekend, but if the turn is doubled, that won't be a problem anyway.

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

Turn one has started! I believe there is a lot to learn from the information. Should I share what I know with the rest of the world, or should we all continue to ignorant?

(How do people feel about someone going through the general information and giving out observations about what is going on?)

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

As a newcomer to Dom3 multiplayer, I welcome observations. I figure I'm probably going to get creamed anyways, so might as well learn what I can.

I guess it kind of depends on the info being shared? Some people might be able to use it better than others.

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

The what you can gleam from the scores shown at the end of the turn. I know at least one player has an awake pretender.

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

And who might that be?

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

Anyone else get a strange status?
http://www.llamaserver.net/gameinfo....eAscensionWars

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

Yeah, Llamaserver is stuck atm. I guess Llama will fix it when he can.

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

Didn't notice the last update time and in the other games the Nations still Show up.

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

Even in the dark caverns of the Agartha, there are rumors that somewhere deep in the warm swamps of the Lizard folk, there is research being done and strong domain being spread, a sign of an awake pretender. The deep seas seem abuzz with rumors of a great army forming and the Pythiums seem to have gained a large lead in Gems. What all the signs lead to is unknown, but we at least know what we are going to do today!

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

On a totally different note, I might need some extra time in order to submit my turn. I'm away from home, and Dominions 3 won't run on my labtop, now that the graphics card is broken.

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

So we're playing with Victory Points, eh? Could somebody explain to me exactly how those work? Is it just first person to hold all of them for a turn? Or first person to hold them all for a period of time? Or do the points accumulate?

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

I still think those crowns are ignorable...

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

Thanks for the heads up. I should read posts in this thread more carefully.

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

Most MA nations start out with 5 gem income, but Pythium starts with 8. R'lyeh has cheap mindless cannonfodder troops available, so a sudden increase in army size isn't too surprising, though it could also be due to a random event; land nations can get a sudden pile of militia too. http://dom3.servegame.com/wiki/Main_Page is an excellent resource for beginners and veterans alike to check up on info like this, though it's temporarily down now. :(

Edit: Also, some info can be gleaned from the titles of a pretender god. I'll use my own, Zhuge Liang, as an example. "Minister of Mountains" because he has earth, "God of the Celestial Bodies" because he has astral, and "Symbol of Unchallenged Victory" because he'll be the eventual winner :D Not everything is described of course, so the titles only give you hints.

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

Korwin, can you send Llama a PM please? I'm a little busy at the moment.

Edit: I was able to send him a PM.

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

The crowns don't act for anything other than a bit extra dom spread. Ignore them.

On a different note, I've never had a better title on my pretender;
Guardian of the Dead, Prince of Disease, Patron of Necromancers, The lurker in the Crypt, The King at the Crossroads.

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

I didn't get as lucky on my titles. And I have a feeling I've set things up to be less than optimal for multiplayer, but time will tell.

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

Llama hasn't responded to the PM yet, so not sure what's going wrong.

Dude, my PM to Llama wasn't in my sent box? What is going on here?

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

Since we were only on the second turn, it might be worth just restarting the game.

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

Let's give Llama a bit of time.

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

All the games are frozen, not just ours.

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

you need to check some box somewhere relativly hidden (at least I searched long) to keep your PM in your Sent box.

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

Anyone else getting the same message over and over again about turning in two different turns? I don't remember sending more then 1 turn, so this is wierd.

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

I got that, too.
