I've set the llamaserver to use Horst's gmail account, so that's all sorted. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/smile.gif

Re: map problem
 

Okay guys, I can confirm that there definitely is a problem with some e-mails not getting through to the LlamaServer, apparently at random. This is really unfortunate timing - it's never happened before, and also I'm on holiday this weekend so can't spend much time following it up (or my girlfriend may stop speaking to me http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif).

So anyway, really sorry for any difficulties in sending pretenders in, and hopefully it'll be back to smooth running soon!

Re: map problem
 

No problem Llama.

We can wait until your holiday is over!

Re: map problem
 

Well I've briefly spoken to the e-mail service providers, and they say the machine was a bit busy doing a huge backup over the weekend, which might possibly explain its dodgy behaviour. Maybe, maybe not.

Anyway, Arcos and R'lyeh should try sending their pretenders in again, and see if it works. I've also made it so that the llamaserver addresses automatically forward the e-mails to me as well, so that I can fix things manually if need be.

Sorry for the chaos guys!

Re: map problem
 

Aargh, the website is intermittently down too! I've worked out that it's the people who I bought www.llamaserver.net off who are screwing up, which is why both the website is going wrong and some e-mails not arriving. I guess they're having problems and there's no-one to fix them because of the bank holiday weekend (um, that's a public holiday, don't know if you have bank holidays elsewhere).

So sorry guys, it seems to be a cursed weekend. I'll make sure order is swiftly restored when I get back (Monday night/Tuesday morning).

Re: map problem
 

Well the game has started!

Good luck everyone!

Re: map problem
 

Ok...total noob question but...how exactly do I play PBEM? This is my first one. Sorry guys...

Re: map problem
 

You create a folder named "EpicHeroes" inside your savedgames folder. Then you download the file that was emailed to you into that directory. Then you fire up dominions, and use play existing game, you should have an entry named EpicHeroes. You do your turn normally, and press endturn. Close dominions, and look into the epicheroes folder again, and there should be mid_*.2h file in there. Email that file back to llamaserver.

It takes a long time to explain but is actually quite easy.

Re: map problem
 

You do not mail it back to his pretenders address, but the turn address.

Once you do a turn or 2 you will see that this method of play is easier than most.

By the way, WHO STOLE MY STARTING SPOTS ON THE FAR WEST SIDE!

Jeezum, after setting up the map you would think the least i would get is a decent starting spot near a border(: I think Llama "fixed" it so i got the worst starting spot on the map.

Re: map problem
 

Thanks Llama for hosting this game, and putting all that work into the server. But I am curious as to why you just done host as IP host game. Isn't that easier.

This Epic hero thing sounds like fun. I first I wasn't excited about it, because starting off with a set hero (as apposed to a random one) sounded boring. But then once I started setting up my pretender things got fun. You actually end up desigbing your entire pretender around your epic hero. By the way, I thought at first that the Machaka Immortal Assasin was overpowered, until I took at the Mictlan Jaguar Warrior spawning hero. Now my assasin is scared and is hiding under a rock somewhere.
