Re: MP: Newbie Game EA (Open)

Re: MP: Newbie Game EA (Open)
 

Put me down for Ulm please.

Re: MP: Newbie Game EA (Open)
 

I think I'll do kalisia.

Re: MP: Newbie Game EA (Open)
 

Niefelheim please. Thank you.

Re: MP: Newbie Game EA (Open)
 

I'm up for some C'Thulu action with R'lyeh.

Re: MP: Newbie Game EA (Open)
 

I'd like to play Mictlan in this game, please.

Re: MP: Newbie Game EA (Open)

Re: MP: Newbie Game EA (Open)

The Lizard dudes :p

Re: MP: Newbie Game EA (Open)
 

I am sure my newb credentials are pretty irrefutable. No blitz games of Dom II or III, only a few Dom II mp games. I just started two other Dom III games. This will be my third.

I will take Tien Chi Spring and Autumn and I expect that will make my newbness even more shiny.

Re: MP: Newbie Game EA (Open)
 

If still open, I'll take Caelum

Re: MP: Newbie Game EA (Open)
 

I would be interested in playing as Ermor, but I have never played multi before and would need a quick bit of info. I assume it would take place over time, and I work during the day and in general am pretty busy, so how many turns would be expected per day and all that?

If the logistics work out, I'm in for New Faith Ermor.

Re: MP: Newbie Game EA (Open)
 

This game will be 24hr quickhost. So you would be expected to play at least one turn every 24hrs. If you failed to get a turn in during that period, the server would auto-host and you would stale for that turn. This happens even to veteran players occassionally, but if you dont think you can play 1 turn/day on a pretty regular basis then you should reconsider.

Re: MP: Newbie Game EA (Open)
 

I can easily do one a day. I was just worried you would make it something like a turn every hour or something. I'm completely in. Thanks!

Re: MP: Newbie Game EA (Open)
 

you would probably be fine stryke. turns are usually one every 2 days, sometimes every three days or every one day, The host has not clarified that yet for this particular game. But you can turn in your turn anytime in that period.

But, and this is important. The host has called Ermor and since he is going to the trouble of hosting the game, not to mention he called it already, he should have his choice. Do any other of the remaining interest you?

Re: MP: Newbie Game EA (Open)
 

Oh! I'm sorry, I didn't see that anywhere, I thought Ermor was open...

Who is left?

Re: MP: Newbie Game EA (Open)
 

I would love to join. I would love to tryout Agartha.

Re: MP: Newbie Game EA (Open)
 

I am going to switch from Tien Chi to the druids if that is ok?

Re: MP: Newbie Game EA (Open)
 

Put me down for Yomi

Re: MP: Newbie Game EA (Open)
 

You have Ermor. I am not playing in this game as I am not a newbie http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif I'm hosting as a public service.

Re: MP: Newbie Game EA (Open)
 

If it is still open, I would like to play as Tien Chi.

Re: MP: Newbie Game EA (Open)
 

Swap me to vanheim

Re: MP: Newbie Game EA (Open)
 

BTW, what is meant by world richness: "rich". Is that 100% gold and resources or more than that?

-Frank

Re: MP: Newbie Game EA (Open)
 

Was wondering that too...

Re: MP: Newbie Game EA (Open)
 

I am newbie to multi-player though not to DOminions.

I would like to play as Atlantis.

Re: MP: Newbie Game EA (Open)
 

oceania is open I think, put me down for them

Re: MP: Newbie Game EA (Open)
 

swap me back to aby http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif

Re: MP: Newbie Game EA (Open)
 

I hate Abysia, I wish you would remained at Vanheim.

Re: MP: Newbie Game EA (Open)
 

Oops, sorry bout that. I copied the game post from a dom2 one so that was a holdover. I'm going to make all the multipliers at 150% for a nice cushy environment. First post has been updated.

Re: MP: Newbie Game EA (Open)
 

Since there is only one nation left I'm going to start getting the server ready for pretender uploads. Will have an IP for you guys to upload within the next day or two.

Re: MP: Newbie Game EA (Open)
 

Thanks!

Well, it's cool that Xox likes to make stuff up and then patronize other people and make them feel bad for not being aware of the stuff he makes up.

Re: MP: Newbie Game EA (Open)
 

As you seem to lack a player and Vanheim is still free, i'd like to volunteer although i am not a complete newbie as i have already played in around 5 or so multiplayergames...

But if you find me suitable i'd warmly volunteer as Vanheims player.

Re: MP: Newbie Game EA (FULL)
 

Ok, this game is now full. Since we have so many players, I have chosen the map:

Cradle of Dominion

This should allow each player about 10 provinces each. Sea players should be forewarned that the water will be cramped so either get ready to fight early or to expand onto land.

Re: MP: Newbie Game EA (FULL)
 

You go for a double bless and i will cry http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif

Re: MP: Newbie Game EA (FULL)
 

Double bless? No way... Triple bless is a lot better.

Re: MP: Newbie Game EA (FULL)
 

Stryke,

Hey sorry about that, I did not make it up, Our gracious host did call ermor in his original post, but he took it out when he reedited it. Did not mean to make you feel wierd about it. I just missed that he took it out. I knew it might sound like i was attacking you when i brought it up and I tried very hard to make my post come across friendly.

I just wanted to make sure the host got the position he wanted. Originally he was going to play in this game. He no doubt became afraid of our combined newb power.

Re: MP: Newbie Game EA (FULL)
 

Hehehe. Indeed, the fear is overwhelming me http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: MP: Newbie Game EA (FULL)
 

Noobs have Fear(+1337)

Re: MP: Newbie Game EA (FULL)
 

Hahahah, nice FAJ http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: MP: Newbie Game EA (FULL)
 

Ok, the server is up for pretender uploads. Begin uploading your pretenders now at...

IP: 66.171.171.25
Port: 2000

Everyone try to get your pretenders in by Wednesday and we will start the game at midnight (PST) on wednesday.

Re: MP: Newbie Game EA (FULL)
 

How do I upload to the IP?
thanks

Re: MP: Newbie Game EA (FULL)
 

Ideally, we'd create a god in the design a pretender screen. Then we'd network connect to IP 66.171.171.25 and then we'd put in the port 2000 and then we'd click on the nation we'd like to play.

But... I can't connectto the server. It's telling me that the server or my connection is down. And I think that because I'm posting this that it's the former.

-Frank

Re: MP: Newbie Game EA (FULL)
 

I am getting "Dominions server or connection to the internet might be down..." message too...

Re: MP: Newbie Game EA (FULL)
 

Niefelheim pretender uploaded without any error. I was the first one to upload. Good luck anyway.

Re: MP: Newbie Game EA (Open)
 

Wow, Cradle is WAAAAAAAAY to small for 20 people...
