Mosehansen Orania 2.14 : started
 

Made a new game at mosehansen.
https://www.mosehansen.dk/index.html

Named Orania dayly 2
game version 2.14 no mod

Re: New game at mosehansen Orania 2.14
 

Been too long since I have played Caelum. Lets see if it is as overpowered as
some would want us to think.

Re: New game at mosehansen Orania 2.14
 

My first MP-game and wanna be in with the good old Pangaea. Could you give me a few technical tips about playing Dom2 in MP?

Re: New game at mosehansen Orania 2.14
 

Re-opened, this time is daily.

Re: New game at mosehansen Orania 2.14
 

to connect go to main menu on dom2
network
connect
on server put:
dom2.mosehansen.dk
on port put:
2202 (my game number)
choose a nation (first you might want to create a god for it)
then press disconnect (this will make you appear on the game)
when everybody is ready we can start it

Re: New game at mosehansen Orania 2.14
 

Thanks for the help. When I choose Pangaea, will it automatically take the newest god I have made or..?

Re: New game at mosehansen Orania 2.14
 

Yes, and if you have done as most do by making it for solo play with no password, then you might want to at least redo it to add that one thing

Re: New game at mosehansen Orania 2.14
 

Err.. how can I actually redo it? Now that I was thinking of going from NE Pangaea to the Vanilla one, I had already the option available of playing my turn as NE Pangaea. So is this already the point of no-return? Yet it doesn't matter to me that much, since I can rumble with any Pan dominion..

Re: New game at mosehansen Orania 2.14
 

someone started the game I will create it again

Re: New game at mosehansen Orania 2.14
 

done. is orania daily 3
have to join again

Re: New game at mosehansen Orania 2.14
 

so up now we are:
Azhur - Pangaea
me - Ulm
someone (maybe romanus?) - Pythium

Re: New game at mosehansen Orania 2.14
 

I'll try Caelum, if the server lets me in.

Re: New game at mosehansen Orania 2.14
 

As the game's creator, you have the option to make it so that the players can't start the game. I'd suggest you do this, otherwise you may have to recreate the game 10 or 12 times - it always seems _some_ player clicks on the "Start Game" button otherwise.

Re: New game at mosehansen Orania 2.14
 

I'll play R'lyeh if I get home before the game starts.

Re: New game at mosehansen Orania 2.14
 

Ouch, I have a problem. My copy of Dom2 is currently at v2.12, and the only patches I can find will take it to v2.15

Can I play with a v2.15 client or, alternatively, does anyone know where I can get the v2.14 patch?

EDIT: S'OK, I found it

Re: New game at mosehansen Orania 2.14
 

I suggest everyone update to 2.15.

Btw. How about mods?

Re: New game at mosehansen Orania 2.14
 

Mose has never upgraded the server to 2.15, which is why we're at 2.14

Re: New game at mosehansen Orania 2.14
 

Is there a problem with using a 2.15 client? I thought this was backwards-compatible ...

Re: New game at mosehansen Orania 2.14
 

I think it will be OK, BUT your battle replays will show action completely unrelated to what actually happened.

Re: New game at mosehansen Orania 2.14 *DELETED*

Re: New game at mosehansen Orania 2.14
 

We are five already

Azhur - Pangaea
Zapmeister - Rlyeh
Knudsen - Caelum
Romanus - Pythium
me - Ulm

I dont think we are enough because the map is so big.
I say we wait for some more people to join.

Re: New game at mosehansen Orania 2.14
 

i'll join as jot, whats the research setting?

odd_enuf

Re: New game at mosehansen Orania 2.14
 

I played Faerun (large version) with only 4 once. It was fine, although it's essentially SP for a while http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: New game at mosehansen Orania 2.14
 

its normal research.
so if we are six maybe we can start?
whenever youre ready

Re: New game at mosehansen Orania 2.14
 

odd_enuf needs some time to get his pretender in but, after that, I reckon we should start.

Re: New game at mosehansen Orania 2.14
 

Hmm ... I would join you as Man, but I still need to downgrade from 2.15 to 2.14 - anybody can give me some hints on what is the best way to maintain two releases (Linux)? Any problems with just having them in two different folders?

Re: New game at mosehansen Orania 2.14
 

I don't have much of experience with Linux, but there shouldn't be any trouble..

Bluebird joined as Man makes six of us altogether, so are we gonna start soon?

Re: New game at mosehansen Orania 2.14
 

ok we can start today
im not home, im at work but any of the players can start the game since now.
feel free to.

Re: New game at mosehansen Orania 2.14
 

I suspect, that I made my pretender with Zens mod enabeled (I'm at work so I can't check right now). I don't now if it will cause bugs - but it does give me an unfair advantage.

If you wait until 22.00 CET, I'll replace my pretender.

Re: New game at mosehansen Orania 2.14
 

Yea - would be nice http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Re: New game at mosehansen Orania 2.14
 

i will cancel then

Re: New game at mosehansen Orania 2.14
 

There will be a problem with having enabled the Zen mod, as your Pretender will be based on the modified point costs. If you have picked a beefed up Pretender, you could find yourself with a Pretender having used more than 500 points, triggering the cheat direction. You would then end up with an Archmage (no magic of course), not the greatest Pretender around. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

If that helps you, there is no problem with having both executables on the same directory in Windows. The 2.15 patch simply alters the executable file (at least compared to the 2.14 version), so there should be no problem with keeping the two versions at the same place. I do not know if Linux can interfere with that though.

Re: New game at mosehansen Orania 2.14
 

New pretender uploaded. No mods and v 2.14. Hopefully everything is now in order.

Re: New game at mosehansen Orania 2.14
 

Um, I'm not sure it will be in order. To stop people stealing other people's positions, Mose installed something to regularly restore the first pretender submitted for each nation. If nothing's changed on the server since I was here last, you'll still get the original pretender.

The only way to do this is to check "That's Not Me" on mosehansen, then get Manuk/Feyd to kick anonymous players. That will chuck you out of the game altogether. Then submit your new pretender.

Re: New game at mosehansen Orania 2.14
 

I've just joined as Tien Chi. Hope that's OK.

Ready to go if so.

Mark

Re: New game at mosehansen Orania 2.14
 

Life is full of complications. Mosehansen does allow me to replace the existing pretender - but if Zapmeister is right that may not be enough. Just in case I've changed my status to anonymous, so I should now be "kickable".

Re: New game at mosehansen Orania 2.14
 

uploading my pretender now

odd_enuf

Re: New game at mosehansen Orania 2.14
 

I will kick anonymous player that should be Caelum and Jontunheim. Idont know who each are but you must join again.

Re: New game at mosehansen Orania 2.14
 

while reuploading my jot pretended i accidentally clicked on marigon. you'll need to kick annonmous again

Re: New game at mosehansen Orania 2.14
 

So it looks like we're ready to start!

Re: New game at mosehansen Orania 2.14
 

First, we have to kick out Marigon again.

Re: New game at mosehansen Orania 2.14
 

kicked

Re: New game at mosehansen Orania 2.14
 

Its ready to start
any player can do it now
its 24 hours or after all players played their turns (quickhost)

players:
Azhur - Pangaea
Croyzon - Machaka
Zapmeister - Rlyeh
Bluebird - Man
Knudsen - Caelum
Markthemerciful - Tienchi
Romanus - Pythium
odd_enuf - Jontunheim

Re: New game at mosehansen Orania 2.14
 

I pressed the button http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Have fun everybody !!! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif

Re: New game at mosehansen Orania 2.14
 

Manuk, did you set a master password?

It's just that without a MP, there's no way to handle someone who silently walks away from the game - something that seems to happen at least once in most games.

Re: New game at mosehansen Orania 2.14
 

i dont understand. what do you mean?

Re: New game at mosehansen Orania 2.14
 

I guess that's a "no", then http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

When you create a game on mosehansen, there's a box (near the bottom IIRC) where you can supply a master password. This password will be accepted by the game as an alternative password for any nation, and is known only to the game master.

If any player then stops submitting orders, forcing each turn to go to the timelimit and effectively disabling quickhost, then the game master can log into the offender's nation and set it to computer control.

Re: New game at mosehansen Orania 2.14
 

can i do it now that the game is started?

Re: New game at mosehansen Orania 2.14
 

No - forget it.

Re: New game at mosehansen Orania 2.14
 

Lets just hope that nobody just abandoms the game.
