MP Game - Faerun Pirates
 

I hope everyone had a nice Talk Like a Pirate Day (Sep. 19).

There is a house rule limiting players to 20 of each kind of gem producing item and ten soul contracts, but that probably won't affect many people.


Everyone is welcome to join.

Re: MP Game - Faerun Pirates
 

Large or small Faerun? I'd be interested in taking Vanheim.

Re: MP Game - Faerun Pirates
 

I gather the game is on Mosehansen? (I cannot access the site) Or is it a PBEM game?

Re: MP Game - Faerun Pirates
 

I'd like to play Arco ^^

Re: MP Game - Faerun Pirates
 

If its a newbe allowed game i'd like to be in as Mictlan.

Re: MP Game - Faerun Pirates
 

The game is on the Mosehasen server: ipadr dom2.mosehansen.dk port 2319

You are welcome to join, Navar, but are you sure you can handle Mictlan? It is a little more complicated than the other nations because of the way Mictlan's dominion is spread.

Re: MP Game - Faerun Pirates
 

I'd love to be marignon, but still sort of a newb, i placed my God but just tell me if you need to replace with a more experienced player

Re: MP Game - Faerun Pirates
 

I'd like to join as Jotun

Re: MP Game - Faerun Pirates

Re: MP Game - Faerun Pirates
 

I would like Pythium and this would be my first MP game, so also if someone else wants it I wouldn't mind taking something else.

Re: MP Game - Faerun Pirates
 

I'm in as Caelum...a different flavour of cold for me

Re: MP Game - Faerun Pirates
 

Yes its ok, i love Mictlan and i know how sacrifice work for me

Re: MP Game - Faerun Pirates
 

11 nations have signed up, do we start now or wait for more?

Re: MP Game - Faerun Pirates
 

I'm in as Ulm.

Re: MP Game - Faerun Pirates
 

Its your game Cat start when you have the number you want. You wouldnt want to admit what flavour of ermor you are would you?

Re: MP Game - Faerun Pirates
 

As far as I'm concerned, we can start right now. Pangaea being missing does give Ermor a bit of extra edge if we're playing with the fixed start locations, and the lack of T'ien Chi, Abysia and C'tis give the eastern nations, but especially Jotunheim a lot of expansion room.

If we're playing with random start locations, that won't be so much of a problem, but then I'll be screwed...

Edi

Re: MP Game - Faerun Pirates
 

After Newbiegame3, there's no other word for this than "Masochistic", but count me in for T'ien Ch'i. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

If we went to random starting positions, then I'd prefer to have Abysia, but I really would rather not do that w/ fixed starting positions. And, Edi, why would you say you'll be screwed if it's random? Of course you know this map better than anyone, but as I recall the starting for Vanheim on the large Faerun, it wasn't all that great a starting position, anyhow.

I should be able to get my pretender up by midday tomorrow (Pacific time), although if we do decide to go w/ random positions, I'd like to know that before uploading.

Re: MP Game - Faerun Pirates
 

Actually, Vanheim's starting position is relatively good (unless the game assigns all of the provinces there as small ones, which would crimp income). It's safe from immediate attack from all but Atlantis and/or CotS Marignon, and they have sailing troops. The Dwarven Smiths are kind of stuck on the islands, but that's a minor tradeoff. I'm not experienced in playing Vanheim at all, so I thought I might as well try.

Then again, if my assumptions turn out wrong (I've never tried Vanheim on either Faerun map), I'll be getting my just desserts, no?

Edi

Re: MP Game - Faerun Pirates
 

Well, I'd vote for fixed positions, in any case. I think other than Abysia, they work out pretty well, anyhow. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: MP Game - Faerun Pirates
 

I don't see an option for fixed/random start locations on the Moshansen page. We could choose a different map or fill in the blank spots with hard AIs.

Also, any preferences on common/rare random events?

We are going to start in about 24 hours, so express your opinions now.

Re: MP Game - Faerun Pirates
 

Common random events, please.

Random locations or not, all the same really. At least nobody will start out on the islands in a random location game, because they are all #nostart provinces. I don't know if Mose's server applies the #specstart provisions of the map file automatically, if it does, we will have fixed, if not, ah well...

And if it is indeed a random start game, one water nation and a couple of land nations missing won't be that bad. I'm looking forward to getting stomped as Vanheim...

Edi

Re: MP Game - Faerun Pirates
 

As Edi, I think common events would be best.

I believe mosehansen defaults to using fixed starting positions (at least that's what happened with Boron's newbiegame3).

We are now just missing 3: Atlantis, Pangaea and C'tis. I'm ambivalent on filling those with AIs, but if we do have AIs, then they should be set to impossible. Hard AIs are still quite easy to defeat, and the victor gains the gold and gem income from the capital, which is quite a benefit.

Re: MP Game - Faerun Pirates
 

I'd also be in favor of common random events

Re: MP Game - Faerun Pirates
 

I'd prefer the fixed positions and common randoms as well.

Since we are so close to full I'd say let's wait a bit, but if others are chomping at the bit I don't mind starting.

Re: MP Game - Faerun Pirates
 

It would be great to fill the C'tis position - I think that fills the biggest blank spot, but I also don't mind starting.

Re: MP Game - Faerun Pirates
 

I have no opinion on any of this being to new to even vaguely know the map. If the starting positions are fix, if anyone has advice onm mine i'll take it, but if not trial by fire is cool too. BURN THE WITCH!

Re: MP Game - Faerun Pirates
 

If it's still open when I get home, I'll take c'tis. I don't care for them much, but I just got my butt kicked and I need a new game. Which Faerun map is it... faerun large or faerun small?

Re: MP Game - Faerun Pirates
 

It's the large Faerun map.

We will start once Lingchih uploads a pretender with impossible AIs for whatever nations are left unfilled.

Re: MP Game - Faerun Pirates
 

If y'all have a plan to move towards 48QH at a reasonable turn, I'll come in as Pangaea.

Re: MP Game - Faerun Pirates
 

Well if you don´t mind to take a newbie, playing his first multiplayer game, I´d take atlantis.
I beat the demo vs 5 difficult ais in 40 turns though, so I at least know how to move armies http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif.

Well I uploaded my pretender. Hope it will be a fun game.

Re: MP Game - Faerun Pirates
 

OK. I'm in as C'tis.

Re: MP Game - Faerun Pirates
 

Looks like a full boat - let's rock!

Re: MP Game - Faerun Pirates
 

The game has started.

We will be switching to 48QH once things get complicated.

Good Luck everyone.

Re: MP Game - Faerun Pirates
 

So it would appear my pretender has been replaced by a plain frost father with no upgrades anywhere. Now this being my first mp game I was expecting to be defeated pretty hard anyway, but this is a bit curious. Any ideas on what caused this, I wouldn't be surprised if it was my screwup somehow or a bug on my end, but I don't have much of a clue.

Re: MP Game - Faerun Pirates
 

Was there a pretender in place (either yours or someone else's) before you uploaded? There is a bug (or limitation) in that if you upload over an existing pretender, it gives you the impression that you have changed pretenders when in fact, you have not.

Re: MP Game - Faerun Pirates
 

I have some problems with my pretender too.
I can keep it without big problems but if there's a way to replace it....

Re: MP Game - Faerun Pirates
 

That would be the problem, thanks Thufir.

Re: MP Game - Faerun Pirates
 

some.

Re: MP Game - Faerun Pirates
 

for some reason I can't connect ot this game, event hough I can connect to other mose games, port 2319, I get an error

odd_enuf

Re: MP Game - Faerun Pirates
 

Stopped Faerun Pirates. New game is called Faerun Pirates 2. Upload your pretenders so we can get started.

Port 2320

Re: MP Game - Faerun Pirates
 

Thanks for the reset.

Re: MP Game - Faerun Pirates
 

Why a reset? There's a known issue where people sometimes have to try to reconnect over and over. If odd_enuf was able to upload his pretender (which he was), then it wasn't the port or the game.

Re: MP Game - Faerun Pirates
 

I think Krootish was being imprecise, he was likely saying thanks for the recreation of the game, as his pretender was hosed in the original.

Re: MP Game - Faerun Pirates
 

Sorry, lost track of this thread. I won't be able to re-upload til tonite when I get off work, about 7 hours.

Re: MP Game - Faerun Pirates
 

On second thoughts, I should be reasonable for once and not sign up for a new game; especially when I am not sure I will be able to play for long (due to a volatile TCP/IP connection).

Re: MP Game - Faerun Pirates
 

OK. I've re-posted my pretender.

Re: MP Game - Faerun Pirates *DELETED*

Re: MP Game - Faerun Pirates
 

Game has started. Check your pretenders.

Re: MP Game - Faerun Pirates
 

Clever me just noticed new form ...why for the love of God do we need 2?

Sorry to be lame, but i've looked in the usual spots and googled for it and i cannot find it.
