Hmm, I will join... been a while since I played Dom2 though, so do I have to do anything before the game's set up besides state that I want to be Arcoscephale? (Well, that and locate all those mods you're using http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif)

Re: Götterdämmerung- New 8 player desert eye blood
 

You can get all the mods here:

Click on downloads then scroll down to the section of Zens conceptual balance mods.

Re: Götterdämmerung- New 8 player desert eye blood
 

Not Turin's hero mod?

Re: Götterdämmerung- New 8 player desert eye blood
 

is it any good cainehill? i dont know any specifics about it

Re: Götterdämmerung- New 8 player desert eye blood
 

Thanks!
Ahh yes, all those schools of magic... makes me want to work on that roguelike again... I actually do have a very basic roguelike engine set up in Java right now (not the original C# one), actually - all you can do is run around this empty town level, but it's progressed a lot quicker than the first time I tried such a thing, if that means anything http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif

Re: Götterdämmerung- New 8 player desert eye blood
 

Heyda,

i also want to join - as Abysa!

Thanks!

PS: Hehe, this time with a server nearby:)

Re: Götterdämmerung- New 8 player desert eye bloodbath
 

Hey guys, I'm shy so I had Boron do the post. Thanks B!

Re: Götterdämmerung- New 8 player desert eye blood
 

Want to join as machaka

Re: Götterdämmerung- New 8 player desert eye bloodbath
 

Also, hate to break it to you Gryphon, but I'm in California... not exactly close.

Re: Götterdämmerung- New 8 player desert eye blood
 

We tried it in the weekend blitzes, and I think everyone wound up with quite a favorable impression of it. It makes it so that any hero you receive, you're happy to get, where before 80-90% of them (all the ones with no mage ability) were almost completely useless.

They all have some noticeably more hit points, typically somewhat better stats, often a special ability or two, and possibly an extra miscellaneous magic item slot. Now they're useful, whereas without the mod, let's face it....

You get the berserking Vanheim hero - if you don't put items on him, he dies in the first battle or two. If you do some decent items on him - he dies within five battles or so, usually losing the items for you.

Now : Farbaute has 22 HPs and 18 protection, enough to be used against independents at least. Arcos' Pathos Son of Titans now has Awe 2, 25 HPs, 25 protection and 15 strength. Seems like most of the melee heroes are now able to function as mini-thugs to one extent or another.

Gives another reason to consider Luck instead of Misfortune, and makes it worthwhile to try and keep the heroes alive, while still actually using them.

Re: Götterdämmerung- New 8 player desert eye blood
 

And incidentally - I could use another game, so I'll claim Pangaea.

Re: Götterdämmerung- New 8 player desert eye blood
 

I will take Atlantis.

ill tell boron to change title of post when i see him online tomorrow to full and uploading pretenders and to post the ip info in the beginning post

Re: Götterdämmerung- New 8 player desert eye blood
 

Good luck with the game. I already have my fingers in too many for now.

Re: Götterdämmerung- New 8 player desert eye blood
 

i'll take man, im a newbie if thats alright...

Re: Götterdämmerung- New 8 player desert eye blood
 

also don't know how to install the mods http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif

im good now i got them installed

Re: Götterdämmerung- New 8 player desert eye blood
 

Oops - thought it was a different map, I might not take Pangaea, but I will have a pretender up tomorrow.

Re: Götterdämmerung- New 8 player desert eye blood
 

Someone clicked Start Game... looks like you'll have to upload your pretenders again. Sorry about that.

Re: Götterdämmerung- New 8 player desert eye blood
 

Hi,

I'll play instead of my brother Griffin.Abysia

Hacker Pschorr

Re: Götterdämmerung- New 8 player desert eye blood
 

I would like to play R'lyeh, please.

Re: Götterdämmerung- New 8 player desert eye blood
 

Well, now that we're up to 11 people, I'm no longer feeling like I'll even have TIME to do anything with Ulm, so I'm gonna switch to Marignon.

Also, this is my first time hosting, so if you have ANY trouble connecting, let me know ASAP.

Re: Götterdämmerung- New 8 player desert eye blood
 

OK, how do I know when the game's officially started? When I log in is the display different?

Re: Götterdämmerung- New 8 player desert eye blood
 

When it's been started, it won't show the vertical list of open / human nations.

Though Hubris might want to put the, mmm, "--nostart" flag or some such on, to keep someone from accidentally starting it too soon.

In as Pangaea - 11 nations, well, Boron did call it a bloodbath. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Re: Götterdämmerung- New 8 player desert eye blood
 

So - not using Turin's Hero mod?

Re: Götterdämmerung- New 8 player desert eye blood
 

I'd like to play with the mod. Eh...oh well.
-Yc

Re: Götterdämmerung- New 8 player desert eye blood
 

Madre di dios, is there some problem with y'all uploading your pretenders in a timely fashion if you're going to say you want to join the game?

Re: Götterdämmerung- New 8 player desert eye blood
 

yeah, im a noob and im in there http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Götterdämmerung- New 8 player desert eye blood
 

YC had to drop because of time constraints. So we are now "only" 10 players. Should still be a carnage http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif.

Re: Götterdämmerung- New 8 player desert eye blood
 

if i close the game, but have uploaded my pretender, will i still be able to play?

Re: Götterdämmerung- New 8 player desert eye blood
 

You're fine Copin. I haven't submitted my pretender yet, but we're still short two. Could Machaka (Manuk) and Atlantis (QM) please upload their pretenders?

Re: Götterdämmerung- New 8 player desert eye blood
 

Also, thanks for the info on the --nostart flag, but since it's already up and I've got 8 in, I think I'll take my chances.

Re: Götterdämmerung- New 8 player desert eye blood
 

Oh - before you kick the game off, you might want to copy all the pretender files (the .2h files) and save them. That way if someone didn't use the right mod or whatnot, the game can be restarted without waiting for everyone to re-upload - you'd be able to copy the originals back and only the ones that had problems need to upload again.

Re: Götterdämmerung- New 8 player desert eye blood
 

im thinkin manuk is awol, lol

Re: Götterdämmerung- New 8 player desert eye blood
 

Pretender Uploaded

Re: Götterdämmerung- New 8 player desert eye blood
 

So, who is going to be the brave soul who clicks "Start Game"? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

Re: Götterdämmerung- New 8 player desert eye blood
 

lol not me, i already did it accidently when we weren't ready.

Re: Götterdämmerung- New 8 player desert eye blood
 

Starting it right now. First turn will be open ended, after that it'll be 24h quickhost.

Re: Götterdämmerung- New 8 player desert eye blood
 

Er.. it didnt auto-host

Re: Götterdämmerung- New 8 player desert eye blood
 

probably cause he said first turn is open ended, he'll have to log on and do the quickhost

Re: Götterdämmerung- New 8 player desert eye blood
 

Yeah, here we go. 24 hour turns. One of you experts, what's the command that I can type in to have it host and then set to 24h quickhost?

Re: Götterdämmerung- New 8 player desert eye blood
 

Next turn is up.

Re: Götterdämmerung- New 8 player desert eye blood
 

sigh, got that good-good-scales-canceled-out-at-your-capital bug. After taking full growth, order and prod. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif

Re: Götterdämmerung- New 8 player desert eye blood
 

How come that never happens with the bad scales? I mean - my Carrion Wood scales never get zeroed out. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Re: Götterdämmerung- New 8 player desert eye blood
 

Someone care to elaborate on that bug? I've had similar problems.

Re: Götterdämmerung- New 8 player desert eye blood
 

Simply that sometimes, on the first turn, what was Order-3 becomes Order-0, etc. I don't think it happens with Heat, Luck, or Magic, but I'm not sure. (Heat varies with seasons anyway though.)

Re: Götterdämmerung- New 8 player desert eye blood
 

That´s ok. It´s because the game detected you are a good player and we need the handicap. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

I apoligze guys, I lost power today, which means I got leased another IP. So there it is. I hope everyone realizes to check here. Also, I restarted the 24h timer in case.

Re: Götterdämmerung- New 8 player desert eye blood
 

... And you guys might want to log in and play your turns again just in case; I found that a lot of my orders had been deleted! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/eek.gif
