Re: New Dawn - need players and server
 
I'm having some connect-to-host issues. I've never done multi before, I got involved because MindElemental asked me if I wanted to try a game. Unless I can get these nested firewalls cleared up, I may have to bow out. I can't host games, I knew that, but I'd always hoped I could connect.

I'm not sure if I'm going to be totally toast, but this has been the death of multiplayer gaming in the past for me.

Yeah, I chose this map precisely because of its roleplaying/thematic nature. With hindsight, I should have foreseen the issues with blesses/rushes - my bad.

Okay, using admin fiat:

- Worthy Heroes

- Standard research

- No ten-turn truce. Sorry, Darrel! Hopefully, we should be able to rely on other counters to rushing.

- Only sleeping or awake pretenders.

And with that, I think we're set! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Great. I'll send you my email address where everybody should send their created pretender file via PM. Once I have them all, I will start up the server.

Covenant, what nation are you playing? If you really can't connect via TCP/IP then I could send you the turn files by Email (and you send them back to me), so that it's a PBEM game for me, or we find a sub for you. In case of doing it PBEM-wise, you should make sure to send me your turns early enough, though, not just some hours before the game auto-hosts.

EDIT: Since I don't know who is playing in this game except the people that signed on here, I will only send my email address to Mind Elemental, he has to hand it out to the other players.

Ich, I'll send it out to the people who aren't on this site, but it might be a good idea for you to send it to the people in this thread, as well. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

I'll try TCP/IP. M.E. can attest to previous connection woes, but it should be something I can get under control. I don't have admin privs, but we'll see how things do with my new Norton firewall.

I'm still optimistic though. I'm Ulm! If turn 1 works, then all the rest should do fine too.

I sent out PMs to everybody that they should send me the pretender files by E-Mail. Pretenders that I received so far are in bold, the list is going to get updated over time:

Arcoscephale
Agartha
C'tis
Oceania
Ulm
Sauromatia
Kailasa
Ermor
Vanheim
Caelum
Marverni
Helheim

Hah! I successfully connected to the server. Success. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

I'll mail you my pretender soon.

Except Mind Elemental, none of those "other" non-Shrapnel members have sent in their pretenders yet. Could you get them to register on this forum and leave a reply in this thread so that we can be sure that they follow this thread and would leave game comments here?

Re: New Dawn - need players and server
 
I personally am just struggling with my Ulmish pretender. I'll get it to you as fast as I can figure out what to do with it. >,<

I'm way more used to Pangea. Ulm is such a bigger hassle! It requires an intelligently designed Pretendah!

--edit--
Okay, Pretender sent. Let's hope it doesn't suck.
