newbtopia- ea game for new players(started)
1 Attachment(s)
Looking at this thread there seems to be support for starting a new game. I started this post to get the game going, as it sounds like llama was interested in hosting for us, and I'd be grateful if he did. I'm not trying to steal the thunder of anyone else who wanted to organize this, but since no one else was taking the initiative I thought i'd jump in.
Settings thus far will be early age. The worthy heroes mod seems to be a standard MP mod, so it will be used. The map can be voted on, but I think llama's recommendation of modified parganos is a good choice for 8 people. Renaming and graphs will be on, with a 24 hour timer until it is deemed necessary to switch to 48. Please sign up with your nation of choice. moderation - Mictlan executor - Helheim Motomouse - Niefelheim zenphos - Acroscephale gowb - Lanka FeydMantis - Agartha Carkaton - Sauromatia Hoplosternum - Formoria PS, question to llamabeast. Are the starting positions chosen randomly or does someone go in and set them up? |

Alright, let's get this show on the road then. Mictlan, I choose you!
With the team game that I am subbing in, it looks like the start positions were arranged so that teammates started near each other. Speaking of which, I'd like to make it a team game if people are interested. Team games are rather fun because you get some of the fun of teamwork, as well as the usual craziness that Dom 3 seems to entail. Also, it effectively reduces the number of factions in half, which should make for a quicker match overall. Also, it's nice to have one less front -- which is the case as long as your teammate is alive. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif Perhaps we could pair folks up so people with slightly more experience are paired with those with less experience. So far I have played a MP demo game, but mostly fought the AI for 30 rounds, and have been subbing in another newbie game for about three rounds now. So maybe a little more experience than some, maybe less than others. I'm wondering what is everyone else's level of MP experience so far? |
Re: newbtopia- ea game for new players(recruiting)
aight i'll take lanka. i vote for a free for all rather than a team game but im cool if everyone wants to go team. I prefer toe former because it seems to encourage more diplomacy, or that's what I think anyway, since I don't really know. I've played a bunch of single player games, but those aren't really good for MP, and i've played 4 turns each in both of the MP games I'm currently in.

Re: newbtopia- ea game for new players(recruiting)
I have played 4 turns in 1 MP game. I would rather go with a free for all as well. I think it encourages diplomacy. Just try to make friends with someone early on. Especially if you start close to each other.
Not sure what race I want. Have played a lot of MA and LA verse the comp but not much EA. |
Re: newbtopia- ea game for new players(recruiting)
I was thinking I would play Arcoscephale, unless anyone else desperately wants them.

Re: newbtopia- ea game for new players(recruiting)
I think I'll take Helheim

Re: newbtopia- ea game for new players(recruiting)
Hey, Is the money set to max or not then?

Re: newbtopia- ea game for new players(recruiting)
I would like to play Niefelheim then and I vote free for all.

Re: newbtopia- ea game for new players(recruiting)
Cool, good to see this getting organised, I would indeed be happy to host.
Carkaton, I recommend you modify the first post to show who's playing and what nations they are as people sign up. See, e.g. one of my Bat games (VampireBat, VesperBat etc) as an example. |
Re: newbtopia- ea game for new players(recruiting)
I would like to play Agartha if a slot is still open
