Re: Dawnstrike - Early Era PBEM Game - Open
 

I'd like Kailasa, please.

Re: Dawnstrike - Early Era PBEM Game - Open
 

I would like to play Pangaea

Re: Dawnstrike - Early Era PBEM Game - Open
 

I'll play as vanheim.

Re: Dawnstrike - Early Era PBEM Game - Open
 

I'll take Helheim! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Er, make that Agartha. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Re: Dawnstrike - Early Era PBEM Game - Open
 

I'll take Ermor.

Re: Dawnstrike - Early Era PBEM Game - Open
 

Okay time to get my feet wet, can I play Atlantis?

Re: Dawnstrike - Early Era PBEM Game - Open
 

Arco please

Re: Dawnstrike - Early Era PBEM Game - Open
 

Put me down for Abysia http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

Re: Dawnstrike - Early Era PBEM Game - Open
 

Sauro please http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Dawnstrike - Early Era PBEM Game - Open
 

I think I'll have Caelum. Seems to fill so fast that I better reserve something before they are all gone http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Dawnstrike - Early Era PBEM Game - Open
 

I'll play jotunheim =p

what size random map btw

Re: Dawnstrike - Early Era PBEM Game - Open
 

I'd happily take Niefelheim or T'ien Ch'i (slight preference for the big oafs, but I could be pushed if someone else came along and wanted to play them).
Though, I will be in NY this weekend. This makes me a very bad candidate to play in a game that's starting this weekend - I'm only here because Jurri made me!
But if the game gets off to a late start, or I could get someone to play my first turn or two (shouldn't be too complicated) I'd be psyched to join.

edit: hmmm... that's what I get for confirming my NY plans before finishing my post. I guess I need to figure out a T'ien Ch'i strategy now... Or maybe it's a sign that I shouldn't play... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Dawnstrike - Early Era PBEM Game - Open
 

Niefelheim here then, if Ygorl does not wants it.

Re: Dawnstrike - Early Era PBEM Game - Open
 

Hi Ygorl:

For a good fellow like you, I will delay starting the game until Monday. Please join us and play as Tien Chi. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Dawnstrike - Early Era PBEM Game - Open
 

Hi WSzaboPeter:

You're welcome to join us, but I think Quietly has already claimed the Giants. Is there another nation you'd like to play? Maverni? Mictlan? Rlyeh? C'Tis?

We can't let Meglobob control all the water provinces! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Hmmm. If no one is going to play another water nation, maybe I will switch to Rlyeh.

Pasha

Re: Dawnstrike - Early Era PBEM Game - Open
 

Hi Quietly:

Welcome to the game! It won't be a random map. It will be the MP version of the Glory of the Gods map. I have a corrected version. Jurri and Ygorl had found errors in the standard version.

Pasha

Re: Dawnstrike - Early Era PBEM Game - Open
 

PashaDawg, I pass on this game. Sorry.

Re: Dawnstrike - Early Era PBEM Game - Open
 

In that case, I'll take your place. Not sure which nation, yet, but will decide later today.

Re: Dawnstrike - Early Era PBEM Game - Open
 

No prob WSzabo.

Solo: You're in!

Re: Dawnstrike - Early Era PBEM Game - Open
 

Heh! That was my cunning plan, I was looking forward being the water master! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/biggrin.gif

I have had my fingers and toes crossed that no one will get there toes wet. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Remember Agartha is effectively a water nation as well now.

But perhaps I will get lonely in the ocean depths, a friend may be good or...a inferior slave race... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/smirk.gif

Re: Dawnstrike - Early Era PBEM Game - Open
 

Bob! You're such a Meglo! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Dawnstrike - Early Era PBEM Game - Open
 

Can I Be: C'Tis?

Re: Dawnstrike - Early Era PBEM Game - Open
 

I would like to play
My preference goes to:
1 - Tien Chi
2 - Ulm
3 - Rlyeh
4 - Ctis

Re: Dawnstrike - Early Era PBEM Game - Open
 

Sure! Let's have a big party!

Nerfix: You're C'Tis

Xennon: You're Ulm

I will take Rlyeh, unless Solo would like Rlyeh. I could play Malverni.

Solo: What will it be? Rlyeh, Malverni or Oceania?

I think we should change the number of VP provinces to 17 (one for each player) but keep the number of cumulative victory points to 13, because it will still be hard to hold on to more than 3 VP provinces with this number of players.

Pasha

Re: Dawnstrike - Early Era PBEM Game - Open
 

Everyone please send me their email addresses by private message, except for the folks listed below.

I already have email addresses for:

Jurri
Ygorl
Kissblade
Cainehill
Rev. Zombie (unless his email has changed recently and is no longer dfz1@...)

Pasha

Re: Dawnstrike - Early Era PBEM Game - Open
 

Hmmm!

No one wants Oceania. I will find out why not.

Re: Dawnstrike - Early Era PBEM Game - Open
 

Hi Solo:

Maybe you should not play Oceania (would you prefer Rlyeh or Malverni).

Cainehill said this on the bug thread:

***********************

Sheesh. When oceania's stealthy commanders go onto dry land, they change into a form that is a _poor_ amphibian. Worse, when the Capricorns go onto land, they can't _MOVE_. In fact, the only command available is _DEFEND_, removing their hide status and causing them to get into battle.

This one more or less makes oceania unplayable until fixed, unless someone wants to play a game with no land masses.

*****************

Although I did a quick test. The stealthy units regain their amphibian status, and EA Oceania has no Capricorns. Maybe you'd wanna do a test game before committing to Oceania.

Pasha

Re: Dawnstrike - Early Era PBEM Game - Open
 

Okay, then make it Marverni.

Re: Dawnstrike - Early Era PBEM Game - Open
 

Super! You're Malverni, Solo.

I will play Rlyeh!

Hi:

All players should send me their pretenders by Monday night. It will be a .2h file (which stands for "to host"). After you create your pretender, you can find the file in the "newlords" folder that is in the "saved games" folder.

Please password protect your pretenders so that I don't accidentally open your turns during the game.

My email: whscom {a t] maine [do t] rr [d o t] com

Please also send me your email addresses as soon as you can so I can compile a mailing list for the game.

Thanks.

Pasha

Re: Send Pretenders
 

Will try to get a SP Sauro-testgame in till Monday. Since I haven't played Sauro yet I have no idea what to take for a pretender and no clue about a strategy http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

CharonJr

Re: Send Pretenders
 

Yes. We will start with 3.01.

Re: Send Pretenders
 

There is no rush. Pretenders are due on Monday. So, it is fine to test things out. Also, players who have already sent pretenders are welcome to send revised versions.

Re: Send Pretenders
 

Observe my blunders as Sauro in our other game.

Think of something different to do and things will be just fine!

Re: Send Pretenders
 

Well, tell me about your blumders since I have not been able to see them (IIRC you are 2nd in provinces, 1st in gems, decent army, decent income...).

CharonJr

Re: Send Pretenders
 

I think we'll start with 3.01, right?

Patch?
 

Apparently there is a bug with the patch that makes a nasty horror attack heroes who are not horror marked. This could be quite problematic and frustrating. Perhaps, we should not use the patch in this game until it is fixed.

See: http://www.shrapnelcommunity.com/thr...o=&fpart=1

However, this would mean that players might need to have 2 versions of Dom3 on their computers, if they wanted the patch in other games.

What do players think?

Re: Patch?
 

I have both versions, so ok with either.

Nasty horror's attacking would make the game even more exciting. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/mad.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/evil.gif

All the other MP games have patched, so we could have interesting times... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/biggrin.gif

Re: Patch?
 

I'll be making my pretender only after the decision, that's for sure http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif I'd say we might as well wait until the next patch, and play unpatched until then: the real big problems of the unpatched game are high up the research tree, I understand, so it will do less damage than the evil horror attacks unless the next patch will only come after a looong while.

Re: Patch?
 

I have already patched my game

Re: Patch?
 

I have the two installed, so as you want.

Re: Patch?
 

I have already patched

Re: Patch?
 

Ditto.

Re: Patch?
 

I've patched.

Oceania joins the fray
 

Migaares, Opener of The Wells, Princess of Growth, The Armorer.

The water of Oceania gets colder as the new god comes to claim the waters and all springs on earth. Trough bronze and faith i will lead my kin to victory!

((i already patched))

Re: Oceania joins the fray
 

Im guessing by trough you mean through?

Re: Oceania joins the fray
 

<font color="red"> </font> Do not question me mortal! For a truth god is never wrong.

Re: Oceania joins the fray
 

Are you seeking to join the game, Migaaresno?

Re: Oceania joins the fray
 

It looks like players are more partial to play the game with the patch in spite of the horror issue. Fine with me. The horrors could make it fun for a bit.

All players should send me their final pretenders by Monday night at 9pm Boston time.
