MP Game - European War
 

I'm in need of another game to replace some that are starting to wind down, so I'm going to host another one. The conditions are going to be fairly standard, except that a win will be by victory points.

The game conditions will be:
Map: Zen's Europe map.
Magic Sites: 50%
Independents: 6
Renaming on
Standard Research
No house rules
48 hr quickhost
The winning condition will be to control a number of victory points equal to the number of players. Each capital will count as a victory point. There will be a number of other victory points spread around the map. The amount of these victory points that are spread around the map will be one less than the total number of players.

I will be playing Mictlan.

Edit:
The IP is:68.148.43.237 and the port is 5555

Re: MP Game - European War
 

I'd like in as Ermor.

Re: MP Game - European War
 

In as Aby please.

And thank you for starting up a 48 QH =)

- Kel

Re: MP Game - European War
 

I'd like to take C'tis

Re: MP Game - European War
 

No mods?!

Re: MP Game - European War
 

Acck. I also forgot to add that I plan to run the most current Version of Zen's Conceptual Pretender mod.

Re: MP Game - European War
 

You don't have to because I mentioned it Was just wondering if standard ment, "standard".

Unmodded Dominions is still, even to me, very good http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Re: MP Game - European War
 

I'd like to play with Arco.

Re: MP Game - European War
 

No, I wanted the mod actually, since I'm hoping to see a wide variety of pretender types.

Re: MP Game - European War
 

I'm all for using the mod - I was looking forward to trying that out myself. But in this case, I would prefer to play Pythium, rather than Ermor.

Re: MP Game - European War
 

Mod is good. My pretender is getting a nice boost http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: MP Game - European War
 

I'm thinking to take either Vanheim or Pangaea; Vanheim's a bit more thematic for Europe, but.... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Re: MP Game - European War
 

I'll take Vanheim if Cainehill doesn't, otherwise I'll make some other choice. But either way, count me in http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Re: MP Game - European War
 

Truper - if you have a particular yen for Vanheim, it's yours. I'll drop down to ... Pangaea or Jotunheim, the Jotuns also being thematic for a European game.

Re: MP Game - European War
 

can you post the map url?

Depending on the map I would like to play R'lyeh or Machaka

Re: MP Game - European War
 

The map is available at Arryn's Dominions site at:
Arryn's Dominions Site

Re: MP Game - European War
 

I will join, if I may. I'll take Ermor.

Re: MP Game - European War
 

I will try r'lyeh on this map. With pretender mod 1.65 I might actually have a chance!


The victory point win condition should stop silly hording of clams fetishes and other such silly things!

Re: MP Game - European War
 

hi Truper! Vans again is it! cackle!

Re: MP Game - European War
 

Just curious, msew, but have you ever played anything other than R'lyeh? BTW, this looks like a great map for R'lyeh, especially if Atlantis is not playing.

Re: MP Game - European War
 

played machaka http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif


I have an affinity to the Cthulhu happy friends that r'lyeh is!

Re: MP Game - European War
 

Isn't this the map that is suggested to have either no or multiple water nations ?

- Kel

Re: MP Game - European War
 

Caine: Thanks, I would like to take Van for this one.

Msew: expect a different Van build from what you saw Last, bwahaha!

Re: MP Game - European War
 

It does, but in the event that nobody signs up for Atlantis, I think with the hardcore veterans (e.g. Graeme, Truper, Cainehill - not sure about your experience level, Kel) in this game that it would not be a disaster to give msew an advantage.

Re: MP Game - European War
 

I would like to take Caelum.

Where I can download Zen's mode?
Is there a document listing the modification's in it?

Re: MP Game - European War
 

Re: MP Game - European War
 

Due to my no-mod preferences, I am going to go ahead and withdraw from the game. Good luck to all. Aby is now open.

- Kel

Re: MP Game - European War
 

During a brief bit of testing, I've noticed one error on the map - Eastern Mediterranian is a Plains (i.e. land) province.

Re: MP Game - European War
 

Yep, the one near Carthage, right? Though water nations don't really suffer from the lack of sea provinces http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Re: MP Game - European War
 

I'm planning to use the zeneuropefinal.map file, where it's a sea province.

Re: MP Game - European War
 

Will us be PMed or Emailed when the game will be going to start?

Re: MP Game - European War
 

Trrrrrrrrroooooooools!

What nations are left, could you post up a "who is what, here is what is left" post? I may venture into this game, if only I like playing with Graeme, Truper, Arch and Quantum and fighting on my own map with my own Mod, I should win by default!

This thread needs more Furblog.

Re: MP Game - European War
 

I'm in this one? ;p

but sure, if there's yet another spot left. I've never played the europe map and it looks nice, at least.

and it seems as storm is quitting out of his "no-quitters" Thrones game http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif, so i could add in a new one.

Aby is available? i've never played them so that should be fun, even if they are hideously underpowered...

Re: MP Game - European War
 

Taken:
mictlan - Graeme
arcos - Cohen
c'tis - Alexti
pythium - Thufir
van - Truper
ermor - Vynd
rlyeh - Msew
caelum Izaqyos

pan or jot for cainehill

aby maybe for me

Re: MP Game - European War
 

Ahh, I see yet another devotee of the Cohen school of Dom2! Well met and good cheer, sir!

Re: MP Game - European War
 

did I leave out the smiley or something? ooh, yes. silly me.

http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif

Re: MP Game - European War
 

How many people are we going to have in this game, anyway?

Re: MP Game - European War
 

And when is it going to start? I presume with the most recent Version of Zen's mod? (What about the most recent Dom2 patch - there seems to be a 1.15 now?)

Re: MP Game - European War
 

I will withdraw my place, since it's cramping up a little. But I will be watching this thread to see any comments, questions, flaming accusations of cheating or 'allies' that might crop up and I can then, wonder at your sanity!

Re: MP Game - European War
 

To answer your questions, the game will be starting this weekend, or on Tuesday. The IP is:68.148.43.237 and the port is 5555

We'll be using the most recent Version of Zen's mod which is Version 1.7

If there is a new patch coming out shortly, then we'll use that as soon as possible as long as there are no serious issues.

Re: MP Game - European War
 

Regarding a new patch - Illwinter has a 1.15 patch on their site. Supposedly fixes two bugs, and "Powerful Mages are more conservative with their magic gem spending".

Re: MP Game - European War
 

Zen - if you want in but think it's getting too crowded, I'll drop out. I've probably got enough games going at the moment, although I was kinda looking forward to playing against you for the first time in about half a year. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Re: MP Game - European War
 

Well, lets get a finalized list. I'll play if you were going to drop out because I'm too freak'n uber. I just need to know who to play.

Also the fact that I am backseat quarterback to a few people might not help http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Re: MP Game - European War
 

hey! I was gonna drop out first!

seriously, i'd like to play but i'm a bit overloaded. I should stay out - you two can both play, if you wish.

Re: MP Game - European War
 

Hmmm. I have Jotun games going, ditto Pangaea, and don't want to take a "cheezy overpowered" nation like Abysia, so... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif Zen, take your pick - I'm actually leaning towards T'ien C'hi or Machaka now.

This is _if_ Arch is bowing out and Zen's back in with that number of players - otherwise I'll stay out so Zen gets in.

Re: MP Game - European War
 

I believe that that's the final patch for Dominions I.

Re: MP Game - European War
 

My apologies, but I'm going to have to back out of this one. Other games I'm already committed to have begun to overwhelm me. Have fun!

- Thufir

Re: MP Game - European War
 

If I tallied up the dropouts and undropouts correctly, I think there might be room for another? Would anybody feel overcrowded if I joined?
Thanks!

Re: MP Game - European War
 

I shall be playing Pangaea (Unless Cainehill wants Pan, and then I'll take Jotun).

Tell me when this game is fired up and ready and I'll load up my Pretender and start with the trashtalking RP that I so enjoy.

Re: MP Game - European War
 

While it's very tempting to play my strong suit (CW Pan), I've got a couple of them going right now, so Zen gets to stealthily murder us all. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

I'm still toying with pretenders and themes but as noted previously, leaning towards TC or Machaka - might do my second Atlantis though, just to keep msew's R'lyeh in check. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif
