10-player EA game - started
 

As per a request from LlamaBeast:
No I do not generally take requests for hosting special games, but I will accept suggestions for a new default game. That way I can script it so that its easy to start one, and easy to clean up.

SO.....
Here is a mid-sized map which can support 10 players. You might squeeze in a few more but if it crashes on start then oh well. I wont clean it up but I will just kick the script to start another mid game. This is on the minor server so I only plan to start one of these at a time.

Era 1
game mid_spruit

I don't think I saw the original context, Gandalf - should people who want to play just join the game?

Is there anything unusual about it?

Re: someone run this game
 

If there isnt I'd give this game a go myself http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif Your servers rock btw...

Re: someone run this game
 

I dont usually "run" games. I just make them available on my server. So if someone wants to spear head this one, go for it. Its there. I might not poke my head in here much so someone take lead. Round up players, iron out conflicts, decide when to start it, contact me if something goes wrong.

Nothing unusual. Well the map is abit. Here is its image.

Here is the command line for it.
dom3 -g mid_spruit --port 8098 -STd --statfile --scoredump
--preexec /home/dom3/dominions3/savedgames/mid_spruit/pre.sh
--postexec /home/dom3/dominions3/savedgames/mid_spruit/post.sh
--era 1 --indepstr 5 --hofsize 10 --magicsites 65 --uploadmaxp 10 --renaming --mapfile mid_4.map
--masterpass @@@@@@@ -q --hours 24

ooops it looks like I did cap it at 10 players so hurry and get your nations. Later on I might setup a webdir for it and have the scoreboard and stats file go there automatically.

Now Im off to take action against a brute force attack against the system. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif

Re: someone run this game
 

I gave it a go! Im agartha (again) because I like them, especially on big maps! I look at our smaller game as practice for ones like this. Look forward to playing with you again if you do it.

Re: someone run this game
 

Im in as lanka.

ps: Gandalf im guessing you put those @'s in to block out the masterpassword?

Re: someone run this game
 

Yes, I always include a master password in case someone stops sending files and the other players want that person set to computer player instead of just sitting idle for someone to take. Be aware that its a one-way trip. A person cannot be set to AI temporarily and then changed back.

And the game will automatically start at 10 players. I left the start-button in place in case you all decided to start at it at fewer players.
