Re: Noobs & Vets: Rise of the AI Menace. EA, BI, Running.
 

Actually, I found PBEM easier for me as a noob, that direct connect business is still a mystery to me. Never even tried it. But I can understand that there can be many more issues regarding noobs and PBEM games, if not we wouldn't need a Llamaserver FAQ or anything of that sort.

Well there are always some available on my server. :)

The games with AIs can even be played by just one human player.

Well, what do ya know. I tried it and was easy to connect and get going (the network tab starts with the dom3 server address already in there), perhaps even easier than moving files around and so forth with PBEM. All you need is a port number and a premade pretender. Wonder if for slower connections though, PBEM would be the way to go.

Well a marriage of these two types of connection and play methods would be excellent if we can pull it off. :up:

So this is a new turn that we can actually play?

I got screwed over again with the rehost - had an air jarl and a good event, now no.

Re: Noobs & Vets: Rise of the AI Menace. EA, BI, Running.
 

Yep. Basically its the same as playing solo.

About the same actually. The game still operates the same way. Its not doing any more talking to the server than with pbem. All the processing is still at your end until you hit end-turn, then it sends it. But the instant send and instant receive of files makes it perfect for blitz games where a few people want to play the whole game in one day.

New territory. I wouldnt mind some email conversations with other people who have admined Dom3 games about how that can best be accomplished. Especially if they also know linux.

Well of misery, huh?

Re: Noobs & Vets: Rise of the AI Menace. EA, BI, Running.
 

Well, we do have to *try* to keep up with you devas on gem production.

We know you guys are winning - but we *are* trying to make a game of it.

Re: Noobs & Vets: Rise of the AI Menace. EA, BI, Running.
 

My replacement subs have yet to respond. What should i do? I really don't want to set to AI.

Re: Noobs & Vets: Rise of the AI Menace. EA, BI, Running.
 

Sure, we're winning on the graphs. But we're also winning on the hate, too :D And ACGHHS has much better research overall. I think we're pretty evenly matched at this point.

Of course, you guys are probably much closer to tartarian factories.

I got turn 32 again, could I get a resend?
