Hmm...I believe that actually worked!

Probably we should hold off on map selection until we have a final player count.

Myself, I would prefer 2.12 as I don't like having to discover new problems as I go along. But it's a majority voting thing so I'd go with the majority.

I'd like to jump in with Jotunheim; my vote would be for the 2.13 Version - someone needs to get a significant game going to kick the new Version's tires. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Hopefully by the time we get to the troublesome, game crashing construction-8 artifacts, Illwinter will have a new patch out with fixes.

Oh dear, now we're attracting the pros. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Okay with 2.13 now that you put it that way.

Re: MP game; very hard research. Any takers?
 

Welcome aboard Cainehill!

We will then be going the 2.13 way, as all the players who expressed a preference went with 2.13.

The current players are:
- Blofeld: Marignon
- Boron: Ermoria
- Cainehill: Jotunheim
- Deccan: Man
- Enforcer: Pangaea
- Graeme Dice: Pythium
- Ighalli: Abysia
- Vicious Love: Atlantis
- Yellow Cactus: Ulm
- Myself: Arcoscephale

Is Karan decided on for the map, or is it still up in the air depending on whether more players join? I'm wanting to email my pretender after I know the map, if that's okay.

Re: MP game; very hard research. Any takers?
 

As there has been no other map suggestion, we will be going with Karan. This map is available for download on Illwinter's site; click here for the direct download link.

All Pretender files have been received except Boron's (Ermor), Deccan's (Man) and Cainehill's (Jotunheim). So the game should start as soon as these Pretenders have been received.

Re: MP game; very hard research. Any takers?
 

On a sidenote, I am looking for a name for this game. If left to my choosing, you are likely to get stuck with an unimaginative name such as "Brainwashing", or even a Zorkian homage (somehow, I feel that "Dimwit Flathead" might not be such a good name for a Dominions game). So any name a tad more original would certainly be welcomed.

Re: MP game; very hard research. Any takers?
 

Working on my pretender now. Incidentally, I don't see a mention of it, but - renaming on, I trust?

For a name - "The_Wall"? ('We don't need no ... education' - Pink Floyd.)

Or "Not_stupid_just_slow", or hmmm.... "Brute_Force" - if research and intelligence doesn't work, what's left? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif
