Re: New game for newish players- MA
 

Well a lot people signed up. Extremely fast as well.
I count 14 players. Cradle is too small for that many, although maybe I am wrong and it can handle that many. So does it mean switching to Glory of the Gods? or making a random map or leaving the player count at 12? 2 maybe 3 sea nations are there enough sea provinces for that many or too many.
Quite a lot to sort out for someone organising their first game.
Good luck getting it sorted secretperson and I am sure you will make the right decisions.

i would prefer a random map

Re: New game for newish players- MA
 

Glory of Gods (multiplayer) or a Random sounds good to me.

If I'm in, then I would prefer a random map as well.

I could be up for this game if you haven't closed it yet. I'd give Agartha a try, if ye'll have me.

Oh boy, I go to sleep for a few hours and look what happens! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif I'd rather not cut people out, if possible. It seems that cradle of dominion will be too small to accommodate us all so we'll have to switch that. It sounds a few have mentioned a random map and one has mentioned Glory of Gods (multiplayer). My only concern about random would be it being fair to all players- but I'll figure it out.

Okay, we have 16 players and sign-ups are now closed. I believe I got everyone in who asked prior to this post. I think we will be going with Glory of Gods map as I do not have much experience with the map editor as of yet. This should be a pretty decent map for our size as it comes out to be about 17.5 provinces per player.

Let's discuss victory conditions- Standard or do we want something like a # of capitals held for a turn? Or we can go the route of 3/5 of provinces held etc. As this is fairly a large game I'd probably suggest some variation of the latter.

Also, those who are noted as being in the game please take the time to begin making a pretender god for your signed-up nation.

For those who are new to this you will find said option in game tools>create a pretender god. MAKE SURE THAT YOU SELECT MIDDLE AGE and that you PUT A PASSWORD for your pretender god. The PASSWORD IS NECESSARY for the hosting setup we are using.

Once you have your pretender god made I will have the e-mail address you can e-mail the file to shortly.

Damn! but it has filled up fast http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif

Re: New game for newish players- MA
 

For those of you in the game this is where you will be e-mailing your pretender files-

http://bannerbreak.com/banners/6/274...0055211774.gif

Please do not repost this address in text as there is a reason Ich has gone to lengths to use this image rather than have me just type it.

You will find your pretender file in your dominions directory>savedgames>newlords>
It will be named something like mid_ctis_.02h.

Try to get your pretenders e-mailed to Ich as soon as you can. We will be ready to start once everyone has e-mailed them in and we decide finally upon victory conditions.
