MP Game - Karan 36H QH - Started
 

No house rules, but some provisos:

1. Game will start on 36 hour quickhost. We may switch to a longer hosting interval by popular demand after things get interesting.

Please don't join if you can't keep up with this pace, but see 6, below.

2. Victory will be 67% province victory. That's 122 out of 182.

3. Graphs off, renaming on, magic sites 50, independent strength 6. Other settings standard, unless I've forgotten something.

4. My wireless setup can usually be counted on to give us problems a couple of times over the course of the game. I generally catch this and will pause the server so no one stales, but tolerance of an odd stale turn or two is a preferred qualification for players.

5. I am located in the Eastern U.S. time zone.

6. I may temporarily switch to quickhost-only to accomodate players' travel plans, etc.

7. Claim your nation by posting in this thread. Game will start 24 hours after we hit 8 players, but we'll take up to 10 if they sign in before then.

8. We will use Zen's Pretender Mod v.1.81. Note we are not using the Spell Mod.

9. I.P. is zombie.dyndns.org and port no. is 56000. Players claiming a nation on the server without doing so in this thread first will be kicked.

List o'players:

1. Jotunheim: Jurri
2. C'tis: Rev. Zombie
3. Pangea: Nappa
4. Vanheim: Patrick
5. Pythium: Traglar
6. R'lyeh: Lingchih
7. Ermor: Cohen
8. Man: Saeter
9. Abysia: Tuidjy
10. Cainehill?

Re: MP Game - Karan 36H QH - Open - Zen Pretender
 

I'd play Jotunheim.

Re: MP Game - Karan 36H QH - Open - Zen Pretender
 

For myself, C'tis.

Re: MP Game - Karan 36H QH - Open - Zen Pretender Mod
 

We're still looking for players!

Re: MP Game - Karan 36H QH - Open - Zen Pretender Mod
 

How are the Games going Reverend Zombie? I'd love to play but can't keep up with my current games as things are.

Re: MP Game - Karan 36H QH - Open - Zen Pretender Mod
 

I'll try Arco

Re: MP Game - Karan 36H QH - Open - Zen Pretender Mod
 

If you're willing to go to straight QH the 21st through ...27th I could join. Girlfriend is going to be in this continent for the first time in over a year (I was there for New Years) so I have to commit my time to her that week.

Re: MP Game - Karan 36H QH - Open - Zen Pretender Mod
 

I would want Vanheim.

Re: MP Game - Karan 36H QH - Open - Zen Pretender
 

But you'll be able to take some turns during this time? If so, okay!

Re: MP Game - Karan 36H QH - Open - Zen Pretender
 

Abysia, if that's ok.
First MP game for me, so please forgive my not knowing what I'm doing, however that ends up manifesting itself.

Re: MP Game - Karan 36H QH - Open - Zen Pretender
 

I'll take R'lyeh.

Re: MP Game - Karan 36H QH - Open - Zen Pretender
 

I'll try Ermor.

Re: MP Game - Karan 36H QH - Open - Zen Pretender Mod
 

Sheesh!!! Where is your priorities, man???

Re: MP Game - Karan 36H QH - Open - Zen Pretender Mod
 

I'll take Man.

Re: MP Game - Karan 36H QH - Open - Zen Pretender
 

Since it looks like we have some new players, I want to be sure everyone knows that they need to download the mod linked in the first post of the thread (saving it to your dominions2/mod directory) and make sure it is Enabled on your Dominions2 Preferences when you are creating your Pretender.

Let me know if there are any questions. It's imporatant we get this right, because it may screw up your Pretender and the game if everyone does not use the mod to create their Pretender.

Re: MP Game - Karan 36H QH - Open - Zen Pretender
 

Traglar, I really wanted to beat up on Cohen using Abysia. Any chance you
reconsider? Otherwise, I would play Pythium...

Re: MP Game - Karan 36H QH - Open - Zen Pretender
 

you weren't the one having problems loading mods in MacOS before? or did you manage to solve that?

Re: MP Game - Karan 36H QH - Open - Zen Pretender
 

No, I fixed that. I was just not looking in the right place for the mods folder. I'm running the Zen Pretender mod 1.8.1 right now in fact, in another game.

Re: MP Game - Karan 36H QH - Open - Zen Pretender
 

what did you do? another person in another game was having the same problem.

Re: MP Game - Karan 36H QH - Open - Zen Pretender
 

I see at least 8 players have claimed nations, but only 5 loaded Pretenders on the server. I will start the game as soon as the rest of you load, so let's move it!

Re: MP Game - Karan 36H QH - Open - Zen Pretender
 

Tuidjy, I'll trade you Abysia for Pythium if you like (assuming the game hasn't started, I guess).

Re: MP Game - Karan 36H QH - Open - Zen Pretender
 

Thank you very much!

I really appreciate it. Cohen has been insulting me by saying that I can only
play air nations, and he has been harping about how Abysia is underpowered.
I think that someone is about eat his words, and I just hope it is Cohen.

Re: MP Game - Karan 36H QH - Open - Zen Pretender
 

List of players is to be found in the first post.

Re: MP Game - Karan 36H QH - Open - Zen Pretender
 

Reverend Zombie, I will be playing Abysia, and Traglar will have Pythium, not
Arco, unless he has changed his choice since the post in which he kindly offered
to trade nations with me.

Mods on OSX
 

It's simple, but not very well documented. Most of the Dom2 files (maps, etc.) reside inside the Dom2 Package on OSX. But the mods directory lives in the Dominions2 game saves directory, at the root of the hard drive. Just drop your mod in there, and it will work just fine.

Re: MP Game - Karan 36H QH - Open - Zen Pretender
 

Thanks, I corrected the info in the first post.

Re: MP Game - Karan 36H QH - Open - Zen Pretender
 

AH well since it's my first time in Ermorian leadership, I won't be surprised to get utterly crushed by anyone.

Re: MP Game - Karan 36H QH - Open - Zen Pretender
 

The game will start tomorrow at this time; we've got 8 players loaded and ready to go on the server. Nappa and Cainehill have till then to upload their Pretenders.

Re: MP Game - Karan 36H QH - Open - Zen Pretender
 

I think I'm going to sit this one out - I'm expecting some busy weeks leading up to Thanksgiving.

Re: MP Game - Karan 36H QH - Open - Zen Pretender
 

May I still join as Caelum?

Re: MP Game - Karan 36H QH - Open - Zen Pretender
 

Go for it! Game starts 7p.m. ET tonite, so upload Pretender by then (and make sure you use the Mod I linked to in the first post to create your Pretender.)

Re: MP Game - Karan 36H QH - Open - Zen Pretender
 

Which map is it?

Re: MP Game - Karan 36H QH - Open - Zen Pretender
 

Kingdom of Karan (check the topic http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif), available at least from the Illwinter-site.

Re: MP Game - Karan 36H QH - Open - Zen Pretender
 

Umm ... did think that this was the name of the game, not of the map ;-)

Downloading ...

Re: MP Game - Karan 36H QH - Open - Zen Pretender
 

Pangaea wasn't taken so I uplaoded that pretender instead of Arco. I need to have more time to figure out why everyone likes Arco so much http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: MP Game - Karan 36H QH - Open - Zen Pretender Mod
 

Game has started.

Re: MP Game - Karan 36H QH - Open - Zen Pretender Mod
 

I can't connect to the server, zombie.dyndns.org does not resolve ... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/Sick.gif

$ host zombie.dyndns.org
zombie.dyndns.org does not exist, try again

Anybody else with the same problem? If not, what is the IP?

Re: MP Game - Karan 36H QH - Open - Zen Pretender Mod
 

I seem to have a problem with my DNS; I'll set the first turn to quickhost-only so you don't miss your turn, and post the i.p. when I get home, which will be in about 7 hours.

Re: MP Game - Karan 36H QH - Open - Zen Pretender Mod
 

I also have not been able to get in except for the first time I tried.

Re: MP Game - Karan 36H QH - Started
 

Try 69.201.103.35 for the i.p.

DNS problems, I think.

Re: MP Game - Karan 36H QH - Started
 

Turn 2 is ready.

Re: MP Game - Karan 36H QH - Started
 

Hmmm. My capitol temple was destroyed by militants on Turn 1. Shouldn't there be a rule against that?

Re: MP Game - Karan 36H QH - Started
 

lol nope. though if you took luck dominion you at least have the right to *****.

just build another http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif

Re: MP Game - Karan 36H QH - Started
 

Luckily I recruited a priest on the first turn. Otherwise I would really be screwed.

Re: MP Game - Karan 36H QH - Started
 

nah - you just emprophetize someone

worse is if you took no magic on your pretender and have your lab burn down before you recruit a mage...

Re: MP Game - Karan 36H QH - Started
 

Turn 3 is ready.

Re: MP Game - Karan 36H QH - Started
 

Vandrott:E the prophet... Now, that's creepy; a pretender to whom his most loyal subjects are but models and serial numbers! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/biggrin.gif

Re: MP Game - Karan 36H QH - Started
 

Oi! A new turn seems to be in! If it's convenient, I, for one, would greatly appreciate a notification on the forum from the one doing his turn Last.

Re: MP Game - Karan 36H QH - Started
 

This way of naming commanders is more common than you may think. Both Cohen and
I, and maybe other players in the game use a similar notation. Of course, if
he were my vanadrott, he would have been called Wizard(E), but it's quite close.

Hey, there is worse. My girlfriend calls her subjects 'Wandering bum', 'Frothing
Fanatic', 'Ha'pint O'Newts', 'Stargazing dabbler', etc. And then there was
Norfleet...

On the other hand, I would have let everyone know the random pick of my prophet.
I call my prophets 'Prophet'. :-)

Naa - that is boring ... where is the roleplaying fun?
