Gratz to Kissblade.

Re: The Animal Kingdom
 

put me down for pan (you should put in your opinion on death themes)

Re: The Animal Kingdom
 

I'm in as R'lyeh

Re: The Animal Kingdom
 

I'll play Man

Re: The Animal Kingdom
 

put me down for marignon.

Re: The Animal Kingdom
 

I'll take Jotun

For mods, it sounds like you using the latest conceptual balance? I believe it includes the hero mod. Just wanted to check on that.

Re: The Animal Kingdom
 

I'll give C'Tis a swing

also, where does one find worthy heroes mod?

Re: The Animal Kingdom
 

Note that using the "Complete" CB mod overrides or conflicts with Worthy Heroes - better to use the individual CB mods, and then the Worthy Heroes mod, as it actually has Worthy Heroes, while CB nerfed many back down to relative uselessness (not to mention co-opting and subverting Turin's intent for the original W.H. mod - the heroes really ought to be pulled back out of CB imo).

As far as where it is - look here.

Re: The Animal Kingdom
 

will cb nations override the heroes too?

Re: The Animal Kingdom
 

not sure, id prefer just to stick with cb complete (though i know many will object)

Re: The Animal Kingdom
 

I could probably stick the Worthy Heroes into CB 5.4 complete, if you like, to make it easy for everyone... let me know here if you do.

Re: The Animal Kingdom
 

Well heck, put me down for ermor then, I could use a new pbem game

Any idea how quickly you plan for the turns to go Animal? 24? 48? I have no real preference, just curious.

Re: The Animal Kingdom
 

Well, here it is... I can't test it right now, but I don't see why it wouldn't work; it is the CB 5.4 complete, with the original heroes mod replacing.

(bad file removed for your sanity)

Re: The Animal Kingdom
 

i love you mork *laughs as mork backs away*

Re: The Animal Kingdom
 

the mod gives me a nagot gick fel error. name2spell.

Re: The Animal Kingdom
 

same for me

Re: The Animal Kingdom
 

owned

Re: The Animal Kingdom
 

I'm playing my first multiplayer game now and having fun. I'm in as Ulm. How does play by email work?

Re: The Animal Kingdom
 

I would like to play as Tien Ch'i.

Re: The Animal Kingdom
 

Those are some pretty strong words; the vast majority of heroes have always been indistinguishable in CB vs. worthy heroes. Furthermore, in the latest version I put back the few heroes I could remember having changed.

Re: The Animal Kingdom
 

I don�t want to play, but I have a new somewhat experimental version of my hero mod for you. It further improves the melee heroes and gives ulm�s heroes some nifty special abilitys. It also fixes some mistakes.

Re: The Animal Kingdom
 

Ookay. Too much information for the morning. (8 am in Finland)
I need to check on how the CB and Heroes go together.
If it causes problems we'll drop Heroes mod.

Thanks Turin for the new mod. I'll give it a go.

Re: The Animal Kingdom
 

Since TC and Ryleh are taken ... I'll take C'tis?

Re: The Animal Kingdom
 

Sorry KissBlade the game is full.

Re: The Animal Kingdom
 

Send me your pretender
...dominions2/newlords/ulm.2h

I'll send you a .trn file
copy it to your game directory
.../dominions2/"game-name"/

Play your turn and send me the .2h file
.../dominions2/"game-name"/ulm.2h

and on and on...
Until you pagans are all dead and the ONE TRUE GOD RULES SUPREME! Muahahahahahaa!

Re: The Animal Kingdom
 

did you get my pretender?

Re: The Animal Kingdom
 

Yeah. Just 8 more to go.

Re: The Animal Kingdom
 

Just to check, before I make and send my pretender, we're useing the most recent, 5.4 cb mod? (not sure if there are any differences between that and earlier cb mods in terms of pretender setups but just want to be sure)

Re: The Animal Kingdom
 

It's the one behind the link in first post.

Re: The Animal Kingdom
 

i haven't had a chance to test mary out at all yet, so i might need another 24 hours before i send it in. i hope that doesn't delay things.

Re: The Animal Kingdom
 

I don't think it will delay the game too much. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/biggrin.gif

Re: The Animal Kingdom
 

What email to we sent pretenders too? Or should I PM them to you?

Edit: Is the email in your profile the right one?

Re: The Animal Kingdom
 

Yep. Use the email in my profile.

Re: The Animal Kingdom
 

Not that it matters all that much, but renaming will be on, yes?

Heh, I've never played a game with more than 1 starting prov, even in sp. Its a cool change! Although...it looks like it may be pretty crowded.

Just running some test games, I'll send my pretender tonight.

Re: The Animal Kingdom
 

I don't think it effects the game in anyway, so let's keep it on.

Re: The Animal Kingdom
 

if anything it helps (it lets you rename mages to something useful)

Re: The Animal Kingdom
 

Perhaps it was a bit strongly worded - but grabbing all the "good" mods and embedding them into the CB series was a bad idea imo - Worthy Heroes was a stand alone mod, and as such, it could be used, not used, or updated by Turin without consideration of the Conceptual Balance series. And discussions on irc had indicated that you removed some abilities because you didn't think they belonged, while others it was unknown for a while whether it was simply a glitch (hero losing immortality) or philosophical difference, such as Orokestes losing his very minor forge bonus.

While... Bah - I don't mean to be expounding on my original comments. Look - the time and effort you, Zen, Edi and others put into the mod is appreciated, but I think somethings were better left undone.

Re: The Animal Kingdom
 

I can't wait for Dom3 to be released... thousands of new things to quibble about! Why don't we start right now? Flying Monkeys is soooo broken...

Re: The Animal Kingdom
 

no theys not cuz they will see da big shiney sparkly tingy comin from da sky an dan try to eat it cuz it looks like da shiney banana of the gods. that was pointless

Re: The Animal Kingdom
 

not to mention the fact that their commander melts if you throw water on her...

Re: The Animal Kingdom
 

so she takes extra damage from cold attacks... not unusual!

Re: The Animal Kingdom
 

I must admit I'm a bit astonished this is much of an issue at all (what other mods were embedded in CB?). There were some very minor edits made to the hero portion of the mod in Turin's absence, but not only were these so small as to have almost zero impact in the course of a game, there is no problem with changing them back (and incorporating any new changes) if he wishes.

Anyway, as I recall, activating the worthy heroes mod at the same time as CB would in fact overwrite any CB changes.

I tested the mods separately and together. While they were both activated the heroes had the CB mods weapons and stats.

[/quote]hmm, it's messier then, possibly renaming worthy heroes to something that would put it higher on the list than CB would do it. If it is really a big issue I suppose I could go ahead and release a new CB version with Turin's lastest mod in it.

Re: The Animal Kingdom
 

It's not an issue for this game. We just won't use the Hero's mod. Don't bother doing it for just this game.

Re: The Animal Kingdom
 

Only 3 pretenders left to go? This might get started soon.

Re: The Animal Kingdom
 

Usually its good to have someone outside the game host it for you, there can be a master password that way and such.

Ive hosted a couple PBEMs for me and my friends before and could do it for you guys if you like, or I'm sure there is someone else out there with more experience than me who would eb willing to host too.

Re: The Animal Kingdom
 

Anyone know TheWolf? He's hasn't got a emailaddress in his profile. We are good to go when I get his pretender.

Re: The Animal Kingdom
 

maybe if we dont' hear from him soon, kiss can play?

kiss will have to pick another race, though. he chose c'tis since TC and rlyeh were taken, but c'tis is taken too.

hopefully thewolf hasn't disappread, though.

Re: The Animal Kingdom
 

If we have not heard from him by tonight, lets find someone else.
