Re: Nations Picks
 

Download the Mega-age mod here: http://67.66.187.69/dominions3/mega-age.zip

You will need to extract these files/folders to your dominions3/mods folder. You will then be able to enable/disable the mod via the dom3 game menu > Preferences. You do not need to enable this mod to upload pretenders.

This info has also been posted to the first post in this thread.

Say - been an insane week, wrecked my new car and things went downhill from there. If I can still get in, I can have a good pretender in sometime Sunday, or .... a pretender in Saturday?

Re: Nations Picks
 

Currently we are full... but if someone drops or disappears before the game starts I can let you take over their spot.

I guess the key is to make as many units as quickly as possible.

If you read back a few pages we have reason to believe the limit might not exist anymore or has been raised. Specifically we have game logs showing more than 136K troops existing in the world - much more than the 100K limit everyone says there is.

The only way we will know for sure is to try...

I was just teasing http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Besides, the race I'm playing can't possibly outstrip Emor.

I'm curious though, I wonder if it'd be a viable strategy for them to simply sit and summon as many skeletons until the game hits its limit with the addition of their freespawn. Then every turn they could try to summon as many longdead as possible to replace what others have lost.

Just a question pertaining to the new nations in 3.08, are there are banners for them? Just curious, looking at the streamers and standards mod I don't see icons for them (Tir na n'Og and Eriu). Not that I am either nation but noticed them missing when I viewed the preview image in the mod.

And this game will certainly be interesting.

Re: Perpetuality - The 60 Player MegaGame (Signup)
 

Nope - they will just have to make due with their original banners. Everyone should still be unique though.

BTW Zepath created those flags/standards for his own mod.... so a big "thank you" goes out to him (whoever he is)!

Currently we are full... but if someone drops or disappears before the game starts I'll put you on the list to take over their spot. You will be stuck with that nation however...

Hi -- dumb question -- where do I put the mod files to get them to load. I've tried what I thought were the obvious places (map folder, main folder, main folder in a folder titled 'mods' that I created). No dice. I'm on a mac 10.4.8.

Thanks

Re: Perpetuality - The 60 Player MegaGame (Signup)
 

Extract the files and folders from the .zip file to the "mods" folder under the dominions3 folder. Make sure and leave the directory structure intact. At that point you should be able to go under prefernces > Mods and enable/disable it.

So your mods folder should have the .dm file and two folders after the extraction.

Re: Perpetuality - The 60 Player MegaGame (Signup)
 

That's the thing. My Dom3 folder doesn't have one.

On a mac it's an application icon that you can "open" as a folder by ctrl-clicking. Inside the Dom3 folder/app is a folder marked "contents". Inside that is "resources" where the maps folder lives, and two other folders: "MacOS", which only has the actual Dom3 app in it, and "Frameworks" which has SDL stuff.

I assume I should create a folder called mods, but I don't know where to put it. The few places I've tried don't make them available.

Thanks.

Re: Perpetuality - The 60 Player MegaGame (Signup)
 

Tichy there are a lot of Mac players on these boards. Try cross posting this on the main forum and I bet you will get an accurate fix to the problem in no time.

Re: Perpetuality - The 60 Player MegaGame (Signup)
 

Thanks, will do.

Ahh... can't hey you there... I'm sure someone in the modding forums can help though...

Any chance we get to see the .map file ahead of the game start? Might do some tweaking with my build depending on things relevant to the map.

Re: Perpetuality - The 60 Player MegaGame (Signup)
 

Nope! The only person that got to look at that was DrP when he was setting things up. The rest of us get to discover it all as we go http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif.

Re: Perpetuality - The 60 Player MegaGame (Signup)
 

I did give in to temptation and look at my own start location, I'm afraid - I had to look at the undocumented ones (Lanka, Eriu, Tir) to make sure I had the nation #s right - but I can't remember where they were - and that the map file loaded correctly with the mod (it does.) Other than that I have no idea, and I uploaded my pretender before I generated the map, so it can't have influenced my decisions (I took more productivity than I'm going to need.)

Some general facts -
* Every land start has at least three land neighbors, not counting swamp or wasteland. Most have more.

* Every sea start has at least three sea neighbors.

* There are at least three provinces between every pair of start locations.

* Nations with an amphibious or maritime component (unless I missed one) were guaranteed coastal start positions (there were more than enough to go around.) The coastal starts still have plenty of land neighbors.

Coastal may mean next-to-a-single-province-lake, or right on the ocean. Script doesn't care and I didn't check.

Other than that, I handed out positions in the order in which they were seeded, which is close enough to random.

Re: Perpetuality - The 60 Player MegaGame (Signup)
 

number of land provinces vs water provinces ? are the water provinces connected ?

Re: Perpetuality - The 60 Player MegaGame (Signup)
 

842 land 158 water. All the large bodies of water are connected.

Re: Perpetuality - The 60 Player MegaGame (Signup)
 

Okay, I count four oceans (southeast, north-central, southwest, and small northwest, roughly.)

Southeast : 3
Southwest : 2
North-central : 2

So that ocean in the upper-left-hand-corner has no starts. Other than that, each body of water has at least 2, and yes, they are connected to eachother anyway.

Fortuantely I'm so drunk that i don't need to remember accidentally remembering exact province numbers deom what I just checked. Woo! FREEBIRD!

Re: Perpetuality - The 60 Player MegaGame (Signup)
 

Hi,

I cant upload my god even if I connect succesfully. I see the nation list. When I try to drag the list down to select my nation its buggy: I cant manage to drag for long, the sliding bar return to the top automatically! Its very frustrating...

Re: Perpetuality - The 60 Player MegaGame (Signup)
 

Worse comes to worse you can email it to me (though I perfer people upload themselves).

Try restarting the PC and trying it again. If that doesn't work email it to me.

Remember the due date is end of day Monday. If I don't have your gods by then I'm giving away your slots and/or making the nations AI.

For some reason the map attachment link isn't working for me.

Re: Perpetuality - The 60 Player MegaGame (Signup)
 

I'm getting a 404 on the attachment, too.

Re: Perpetuality - The 60 Player MegaGame (Signup)
 

The attachments here seem broken again.
For an alternative you can get the map here.

My pretender may be a few hours late but it will be in.

Re: Perpetuality - The 60 Player MegaGame (Signup)
 

Its weird, there was already a pretender god loaded for the LA Ctis... I overrided it. Maybe MA ctis and EA Ctis should check if they loaded well their pretender.

My pretender name is Lombric, just in case http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

I connected to the late age server and it simply tells me to pick a nation to play(but no nations show up as an option)...

These are the only ones left (Some of them told me they will be a little late). Deadline is about 16 hours!

MA Vanheim - GrayZ (%5)
MA Oceania - Tyrant
EA Vanheim - Stricklyrockers

EA Niefelheim - Honeybadger
EA TienChi - Vathmoth

Re: Perpetuality - The 60 Player MegaGame (Signup)
 

Hmm... It is just a standard late game. Make sure you have disabled any mods. If that still doesn't work try restarting your PC and reconnecting. If it still doesn't work, see if you get the same response if you connect to the other age games...

Re: Perpetuality - The 60 Player MegaGame (Signup)
 

Also, I've decided that once we start I'll let the first turn be 48 hours - just in case people have problems with the mod.

Re: Perpetuality - The 60 Player MegaGame (Signup)
 

Thanks for the catch there velusion. I had the mega-game mod up which moves all nations to MA.

Re: Perpetuality - The 60 Player MegaGame (Signup)
 

I have everything done except that hardest part. Picking a name!

Eh the hell with it. Whenever I have problems picking a name I fall back on a random video game reference. PREPARE TO FACE CHOP MASTER ONION!

Dojo, casino, it's all in the mind.

Re: Perpetuality - The 60 Player MegaGame (Signup)
 

I was quite disappointed there wasn't room to fit "Chop Master Onion, The Kicker, The Puncher" as his name.

Re: Perpetuality - The 60 Player MegaGame (Signup)
 

For DnD gamers I used to tell them to take their full name, write it out, break it into syllables and rearrange them. You get a pronouncable name that is not you but still kindof you. In fact mine came up with names that felt right to different classes and Ive used them for decades.

For this game you might also include the name of the pretender, the nation, any favorite tv characters. But the key is scrambling the pieces. So Gandalf, Pangaea, Lord of the Wild, might give me Gandaea, Pandalf, Gandwild, Gangaea, Lorndalf, Lorild, Longwild.

With the list of non-provided pretenders, and a countdown going on, maybe some of the wannabe subs might go ahead and create some pretenders for the game and provide them in order to slip in at the last minute.

Re: Perpetuality - The 60 Player MegaGame (Signup)
 

"Gangaea"

Doesn't that make limbs turn different colors and fall off?
Or is it the one that makes it hurt when you pee?
I can never remember.

Re: Perpetuality - The 60 Player MegaGame (Signup)
 

It sounds like some horrible affliction that your pretender doesn't want for sure http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/biggrin.gif

Re: Perpetuality - The 60 Player MegaGame (Signup)
 

Hey, he is Lord of the Wild. He draws Maenads to him with no effort at all. Wild party girls of the forest. What can I say? Everything has its pros and cons. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/evil.gif

The first thing I thought of was that it sounded like a popular forest weed that hobbits smoked.

Re: Perpetuality - The 60 Player MegaGame (Signup)
 

Sometime after midnight tonight (CST) I will post a list of those nations that still are unclaimed. Players who want in can claim those nations have 24 hours to do so - it will be on a first come first serve, you pick the nation basis. The seeding pop % will not change. Any nations that are unclaimed after 24 hours will be put on Might AI. .

You MUST wait for my post announcing what nations are left over though.

Players who were already awarded nations are not eligible to pick http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif...

Re: Perpetuality - The 60 Player MegaGame (Signup)
 

I'll be getting my pretender in, just agonizing over decisions as its an unfamiliar nation.
