Re: Noobs vs. Vets II: Mysterio's Revenge, EA, CBM, Game running.
 

I started making a Maori mod once... I still have some moa rider sprites somewhere. :D

Re: Noobs vs. Vets II: Mysterio's Revenge, EA, CBM, Game running.
 

hmm, a Maori nation could be interesting if it also had Morioris. but with only patu and taiaha, can't think of any ranged weapons at the moment

Re: Noobs vs. Vets II: Mysterio's Revenge, EA, CBM, Game running.
 

Ermor, Formoria, wtf? Get your turns in. This is not lackadaisical game.

Re: Noobs vs. Vets II: Mysterio's Revenge, EA, CBM, Game running.
 

Ermor, Helheim? It's like turn three. Let's go man!!!

This ain't an exercise. It's an extended blitz.

Re: Noobs vs. Vets II: Mysterio's Revenge, EA, CBM, Game running.
 

Yes actually the presence of Inkpot End in my capital is causing some persistent problems for my nation. My Helhirdings persist in treating it as a "test of bravery" to go in there and almost invariably come out diseased. I must then rush them to the front to get any use at all out of them!

Re: Noobs vs. Vets II: Mysterio's Revenge, EA, CBM, Game running.
 

I apologize for the late turn. I was hammered out of my mind on friday night and only just barely returned to a functioning state by saturday night. Just in time to notice the turn was about to generate - yikes!!

Re: Noobs vs. Vets II: Mysterio's Revenge, EA, CBM, Game running.
 

Hehe. Just doing my part as the "turn enforcer".

Re: Noobs vs. Vets II: Mysterio's Revenge, EA, CBM, Game running.
 

Ermor needs some enforcing again.

Oh, and how was this NAP thing again, first fights on turn 10 or first orders on it (and fights on turn 11)?

Re: Noobs vs. Vets II: Mysterio's Revenge, EA, CBM, Game running.
 

You may place your orders on turn 10. Actual hostilities begin turn 11. Of course, non-intentional "bumps", where either side moves into an indy province don't count.

My Internet has gone down at home, I expect till Friday. Rather than stale, or delay the game, I think it best if one of our alternates, or even former players can temp sub for a few turns for me. May delay the turn an hour or two to faciliate this.

First to see this, please PM me your e-mail address so we can get the current turn in. Thanks.

Re: Noobs vs. Vets II: Mysterio's Revenge, EA, CBM, Game running.
 

Hm, do your alternatives frequently read this thread? Wouldn't it be better to PM them?

Re: Noobs vs. Vets II: Mysterio's Revenge, EA, CBM, Game running.
 

Already did, but just in case.

Re: Noobs vs. Vets II: Mysterio's Revenge, EA, CBM, Game running.
 

Grudgebringer will temp sub for me (Ermor).

I expect to be back in the game in a week. I'll still be able to admin though.

Re: Noobs vs. Vets II: Mysterio's Revenge, EA, CBM, Game running.
 

Somebody help me...

I am subbing for Ermor but I can't get the cb141 complete to lad without killing the Dom game completely.

I don't meam it won't let me in THIS game...it won't let me in the server at all until I delete it.

I have less tham 1 hour to post his turn and I don't want to let him or the game down but I need some help with this..PM me please

GrudgeBringer:confused:

Re: Noobs vs. Vets II: Mysterio's Revenge, EA, CBM, Game running.
 

Did you take the attachment from the first post? You mean it crashes your dominions, or what?

If you want online help and can access IRC, #dominions has people on it that can help out too.

Re: Noobs vs. Vets II: Mysterio's Revenge, EA, CBM, Game running.
 

Grudge, calm down. Judging by the charts, Ermor's position is so bad right now that one turn of staling is not going to be a game-changer.

Now, what are you talking about with "cant get into the server"? This is a PBEM game, you shouldnt be connecting to any servers.

Re: Noobs vs. Vets II: Mysterio's Revenge, EA, CBM, Game running.
 

Yeah, I took it from the first page of the forum post..

It has 2 different 141 files on it.

I took the bottom one.

Kickes me back to windows.

LLama is helping me right now..I am going to try the top patch.

Re: Noobs vs. Vets II: Mysterio's Revenge, EA, CBM, Game running.
 

I am somewhat computer challenged...

When I say server I mean the place where all the games are listed so I can play them.

I know its not a server...but honestly, I'm not sure what a server really does either..LOl

I'm going to keep trying, llama set the turn back a couple of hours to try and help me.

Re: Noobs vs. Vets II: Mysterio's Revenge, EA, CBM, Game running.
 

What is the error you see when you are kicked back to windows? In all liklihood, you are just missing a mod or map file. Don't pick and choose files out of the download - place them all into your mod folder.

Also, post the error you are getting that forces you back to windows.

Re: Noobs vs. Vets II: Mysterio's Revenge, EA, CBM, Game running.
 

I copy the whole file and extract it IN the Mod file...NO files show up.

I just D/l the TOP 141 thinking maybe the bottom one was for Mac or domething and files DID show up but when I went to play the game it said I needed 141c (i take it this means complete)

The bottom file on the first page of the Noobs vs Vets forum is the one I am having problems with.

I am going to try it agian

Re: Noobs vs. Vets II: Mysterio's Revenge, EA, CBM, Game running.
 

You need to extract both files into your mod folder.
The first one is the normal CBM the second one contains some additional changes to CBM.

Once you have done that the mod folder should contain the following files

WorthyHeroes
cbcomplete.tga
CBcomplete_1.41.dm
CBcomplete_1.41c.dm

and whatever else you had before that. Then the game should start without problems. If it really does not give you the last file maybe instead of extracting you could try to double click on the zip file. Select CBcomplete_1.41c.dm in the window that opens hit CTRL+C (press and hold CTRL, press and release C, release CTRL). Go to the mod folder and hit CTRL+V (same procedure).


P.S.: Don't worry I was somewhat confused about that at the start as well. :D

Re: Noobs vs. Vets II: Mysterio's Revenge, EA, CBM, Game running.
 

The two zips in the first post of this thread are:

zip1: Worthy Heros, Conceptual Balance Mod 1.41
zip2: Conceptual Balance Mod 1.41c

Don't try and pick and chose one or the other or any files from either. Extract the contents of all of them to your mods folder. If, as you say, no files are extracted from the second zip - then I dont know what to tell you. Perhaps your extraction program is broken? I just tried downloading both zips now to test them and they are working.

EDIT: Yeah atul just pointed out to me that it could be a naming error. Make sure that your files are named exactly as Illuminated One has listed them.

Re: Noobs vs. Vets II: Mysterio's Revenge, EA, CBM, Game running.
 

I just did the top one and it was fine

The bottom one gave me this

Nagot gick fel!
myloadmalloc: can't open/
cbcomplete_1{1}{1}.41cdm

I just copied the whole file in and extrated it there like I do all the others...no luck

Maybe it is broke..

Re: Noobs vs. Vets II: Mysterio's Revenge, EA, CBM, Game running.
 

PM me your email and I'll mail you mine without zip.

Re: Noobs vs. Vets II: Mysterio's Revenge, EA, CBM, Game running.
 

OK I'm in...Subbing for Ermor.

I need to get a turn in quickly and don't know my relationship with who...

Offers from players, any special team (or starting Naps for that matter), and is there a special room for Noobs to know or plan things.

any info would be helpful and I will get this in quickly

Re: Noobs vs. Vets II: Mysterio's Revenge, EA, CBM, Game running.
 

Well, the teams are listed on the first page. We are all at peace until turn 10, when orders can go in to attack the other team. There is a forum set up for both the Vets and the Noobs, but I think you will have to go to the Noobs forum, sign up to join, and then the admin will let you in. Should not take more than a day.

Good luck subbing, and thanks for getting the turn in Grudge.

Re: Noobs vs. Vets II: Mysterio's Revenge, EA, CBM, Game running.
 

Yes, exactly so. The noob forum is here. Register on that forum, and then on THIS forum, send me a pm saying what the nickname you chose for the noob forum is, and that it's you, and I will set you up.

Re: Noobs vs. Vets II: Mysterio's Revenge, EA, CBM, Game running.
 

C'tis, get your turn in! Don't make me scold you again.

Re: Noobs vs. Vets II: Mysterio's Revenge, EA, CBM, Game running.
 

Grudgebringer, I'm sorry you had some difficulties with CBM and so forth, but I'm glad you got it straightened out. The info in my sitrep should have helped you a bit in terms of the situtation.

I see Ctis stalled one turn. :(

Re: Noobs vs. Vets II: Mysterio's Revenge, EA, CBM, Game running.
 

Intelligence reports of vet-team spies have revealed that CTis staled in protest over mistreatment by the rest of his team. As the non-human member race of the coalition, they believe that thier interests are not being adequately represented in the council of noobery!

Re: Noobs vs. Vets II: Mysterio's Revenge, EA, CBM, Game running.
 

Wait does that mean Lankans are human. You wound us deep with your vile words.

Re: Noobs vs. Vets II: Mysterio's Revenge, EA, CBM, Game running.
 

Yes. Filthy humans!!!

Re: Noobs vs. Vets II: Mysterio's Revenge, EA, CBM, Game running.
 

Can we get the turn postponed till tonight for TheDemon? He had some family stuff to do for the easter weekend - said he thought he would be back in time to get his turn in but he's still incommunicando so something must not have gone to plan.

Re: Noobs vs. Vets II: Mysterio's Revenge, EA, CBM, Game running.
 

its cool, I got it in

Re: Noobs vs. Vets II: Mysterio's Revenge, EA, CBM, Game running.
 

I'm going to do a small delay for darloth (Ctis). I will not have access to the Internet again till Monday or Tuesday. Rdonj is admin till then.

Re: Noobs vs. Vets II: Mysterio's Revenge, EA, CBM, Game running.
 

C'tis, get your turn in!

Re: Noobs vs. Vets II: Mysterio's Revenge, EA, CBM, Game running.
 

I'm trying, I'm trying! It keeps complaining it wants turn 7, and I'm sending it turn 8, but the llamaserver status page clearly says it's on turn 8, and it's turn 8 I played...

Help?

Re: Noobs vs. Vets II: Mysterio's Revenge, EA, CBM, Game running.
 

odd... It seemed to work -this- time.

It was the same .2h and everything.

I am perplexed. Sorry it got held up, although I'm not entirely sure what was up with it or if it was anything to do with me.

Re: Noobs vs. Vets II: Mysterio's Revenge, EA, CBM, Game running.
 

Same thing happened to me, llamaserver hiccup.

Re: Noobs vs. Vets II: Mysterio's Revenge, EA, CBM, Game running.
 

My Helhirds are getting hard to control. They keep asking me:

"Great leader - when will be able to spear some actual noobs from the backs of our mighty steeds, laughing while we do so??"

Soon, I tell them, soon.

Re: Noobs vs. Vets II: Mysterio's Revenge, EA, CBM, Game running.
 

Well time to eat some of annoying flappy birdie thingies. Down with Caelum

Re: Noobs vs. Vets II: Mysterio's Revenge, EA, CBM, Game running.
 

:( why can't I see an edit button

anyway, looking at the score how can I with the smallest nation possible have the largest army. it just seems weird

Re: Noobs vs. Vets II: Mysterio's Revenge, EA, CBM, Game running.
 

You can't see the edit button, because, after 60 minutes, this forum will not let you edit your post.

Re: Noobs vs. Vets II: Mysterio's Revenge, EA, CBM, Game running.
 

Roast monkey.

Re: Noobs vs. Vets II: Mysterio's Revenge, EA, CBM, Game running.
 

Time for war noobies! Let's get it on!


Mysterio craves his revenge.

Re: Noobs vs. Vets II: Mysterio's Revenge, EA, CBM, Game running.
 

I'm back up. Will resume from Grudgebringer on turn 11. NAP is ending with turn 10. Thanks to rdonj for keeping watch.

Ye gods!

I don't like the stats I see. Sure I expected the vets with their giants to expand at a rapid clip, but not this fast. A quick look at the stats shows the vets with a province lead. 97 to 108.
Perhaps, I've given the vets too many advantages this time around. Well, some of it was necessary to coax those who would otherwise chaff (and most do) at the 2:1 odds. Will be corrected for the next game.

Re: Noobs vs. Vets II: Mysterio's Revenge, EA, CBM, Game running.
 

Chill Sept, provinces are only potential, the current power is in income and gems. And those your team still has more.

But I must say, I don't think this expansion pace would've been possible without that NAP. So thanks.

Re: Noobs vs. Vets II: Mysterio's Revenge, EA, CBM, Game running.
 

no kidding, the Lanka/Caelum war would of started a few turns ago. exspecially since I've been making a nice map of what they have.

but we can fix that now. and atleast my fear of Caelum builing a fort next to me didn't come true

Re: Noobs vs. Vets II: Mysterio's Revenge, EA, CBM, Game running.
 

So, only Fomoria left, then we get to see how much your words are worth.

Re: Noobs vs. Vets II: Mysterio's Revenge, EA, CBM, Game running.
 

I know you both have your secret forums but I hope both teams will post some updates here so the rest of us can follow what is going on?

Cheers :)

Re: Noobs vs. Vets II: Mysterio's Revenge, EA, CBM, Game running.
 

Seen "Saving Private Ryan"? It was like the opening scene of that movie... Except for the part where the bad guys get slaughtered.

That report enough for you?
