Lord of the Gateways EA 6 players Full
 

During the Time of the Pantocreator the world was divided into realms. Each of these realms was inhabitated by diffrent races, ignorant of eachother. These realm was connected by hidden gateways, three in each province. The Pantocreator put lots of his lifeforce into the gateways and after the construction was finished he noticed that there was a flaw. The Gateways was slowly siping out his lifeforce. Before the Pantocreator was able to do something about this he was to weak and fell into a coma.

Other powerful creatures have not noticed the slow stream of lifeforce coming from the gateways, and have started to gather it. Among these creature there are six, who are claiming to be gods. These creature know that if they can gather enough of the Pantocreators lifeforce they may become the new embodyment of the Pantocreator and become the new only true god of all creation.

This will be a very diffrent game, since each province will have at most three neighbours and these naighbours will be scattered across the map.

We will play culamultive VP. Each province is worth one VP and first to 50 VP wins the game.

I would like to play without mods and house rules are added if people want it.

We will play on Ossya map made by Dfan.

Players
Folket - will pick nation later
Dfan - will pick nation later
ajr - Kailasa
Evilhomer - Lanka
FAJ - Mictlan
Tyrant - Argatha

Re: Lord of the Gateways EA 6 players wanted
 

I'd be up for this game, as long as I can also wait a bit to choose my nation.

--
Edit: Since no one else has claimed it yet, I'll take Kaisala.

Re: Lord of the Gateways EA 6 players wanted
 

Sign me up
Im currious about the new nation so I'll test those ...

Edit: by test i mean try them in this game

Re: Lord of the Gateways EA 6 players wanted
 

Sign me up, will choose nation later.

edit- Sign me up for Lanka

Re: Lord of the Gateways EA 6 players wanted
 

Argatha please, as long as this is hosted and not PBEM

Re: Lord of the Gateways EA 6 players wanted
 

FAJ, sounds to me like evilhomer picked lanka already though i could be wrong.

Re: Lord of the Gateways EA 6 players wanted
 

Good luck to you this game! Might be easier to play Kailasa, though.

Re: Lord of the Gateways EA 6 players wanted
 

You know, I'm not sure I've managed to spell that correctly yet without looking it up, despite playing them for 40+ turns.

Re: Lord of the Gateways EA 6 players wanted
 

I thought he said he was going to test those before making his decision.

If his testing proves that he wants to use them, I'll just choose another nation. Only 6 players, lots to choose from http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif.

Re: Lord of the Gateways EA 6 players wanted
 

Err, you have some company, as I was calling you Kaisala in my negotiations with other players in that game!

Re: Lord of the Gateways EA 6 players wanted
 

If he is sure that he wants Lanka, I will choose Mictlan Instead.

Re: Lord of the Gateways EA 6 players wanted
 

If someone drops out before start I would be glad to join. Thanks a lot.

Re: Lord of the Gateways EA 6 players wanted
 

When are we going to start?

Re: Lord of the Gateways EA 6 players wanted
 

Do you have all six players? I can start the server whenever.

Re: Lord of the Gateways EA 6 players wanted
 

Yes, I thought I had changed the topic. I will mail you the map tomorrow, so you may start the server now.

Re: Lord of the Gateways EA 6 players wanted
 

I am totally fine without using any mods. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/smile.gif
As for house rules, dual l9 blessing will be allowed, or we gonna stick with the max 1xl9/everything else max l8 blessing rule?

Re: Lord of the Gateways EA 6 players wanted
 

That is up for suggestion. Perhaps we should limit blessings or even play no blesses above 4 game. Or we could play a superbless game, where everyone tries to outbless eachother.

Re: Lord of the Gateways EA 6 players wanted
 

1) DominionsFan- you don't seem to be signed up for this game, so why the post about settings?

2) I'd prefer no house rules about player choices or wierd mods. As far as I know, no one has actually finished a net game with strangers, and until 15-20 have been played I regard various people's theories about balance as speculation. The worthy heroes mod is very minor and fun, so I wouldn't object to that one. I don't mind diplomacy rules if someone feels strongly about them.

3) Sheap- are you hosting without playing, or is Folket hosting?

Re: Lord of the Gateways EA 6 players wanted
 

Tyrant: Dfan = me. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

Folket had an idea to play without level9 blessings, and limit it to l4. This sounds like an interesting idea, and I am fine with it, but I am also fine with the l9 or dual l9 rule. So lads, decide it today/tomorrow, and we can start to play. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/smile.gif

Re: Lord of the Gateways EA 6 players wanted
 

If we're playing with no l9s at all, I'm going to want to choose a different nation.

Re: Lord of the Gateways EA 6 players wanted
 

Dfan = you, duh, now i understand.

Re: Lord of the Gateways EA 6 players wanted
 

its intrresting with a low bless game but you really screw some nations (like mictland). Personally im fine with any setting tho.

Re: Lord of the Gateways EA 6 players wanted
 

I think Mictlan can work fine in early era. I voting for lvl 4 blessings anyhow.

Re: Lord of the Gateways EA 6 players wanted
 

Of course people can change nations.

Re: Lord of the Gateways EA 6 players wanted
 

Tyrant: I am hosting, will put the server up for uploads tonight. Should have done it this weekend but did not realize the game was ready to start.

Re: Lord of the Gateways EA 6 players wanted
 

so, max 4 or what?

It will be a bit of a pain to have to empower your gods to cast high level spells.

Max 6 maybe?

Re: Lord of the Gateways EA 6 players wanted
 

Sheap- i don't think think we really are ready to start until after we set the rules. Looks to me like only 2 of us have cast clear votes-

me- no house rules
Folket- bless limit 4

I think Folket gets to break ties since this is his puppy, but I'm going to change nations if there is a bless limit. I'll likely take Marveani (sp?) but i'd want to think about it a bit and come up with a new plan.

Re: Lord of the Gateways EA 6 players wanted
 

I would like to switch to Ermor.

My vote is for no house rules.

Re: Lord of the Gateways EA 6 players wanted
 

I would also prefer no house rules; if we do end up limiting pretender paths to 4, I would like to switch to Niefelheim.

Re: Lord of the Gateways EA 6 players wanted
 

ok, no house rules there is, SO let us play a fast and furious uber-bless game.

Re: Lord of the Gateways EA 6 players wanted
 

Well than I will play with Niefel.

[PS. I vote for a max l4 bless rule, to make the game more interesting but ah well. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/smile.gif]


However imo we should really only allow 1xl9 blessing...else this will be a war between uber blessed sacreds.. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Lord of the Gateways EA 6 players wanted
 

Lets compromise then, 1 lvl 9, rest no higher than 4

Re: Lord of the Gateways EA 6 players wanted
 

There is no compromise.

I will play Helheim.

Re: Lord of the Gateways EA 6 players wanted
 

If no house rules, Ill stick with Mictlan then.

Server ready
 

OK, server is up for pretender uploads.

66.171.171.25 port 2004.

Since people claimed a bunch of early era nations, I started the server as early era.

Before the game can actually start, I need to know the server rules including:
supply/income/resource levels
magic site frequency
score graphs
and for victory points:
How many provinces should have victory points, and
Whether any of those provinces should have 2 or 3 VPs or if all should have 1.

However I do not need that information to put the server up for uploads.

I started the server with no mods and 3.04. You are stuck with 3.04 but if I am wrong and there should be a mod, let me know.

Re: Server ready
 

I suggest to play with normal settings, without score graphs. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/smile.gif

PS. My pretender has been uploaded. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/cool.gif

Re: Server ready
 

I think it will be better to have score graphs on since otherwise the game will end and noone will understand why.

Re: Server ready
 

I'd like score graphs (and renaming) on.

Re: Server ready
 

Power failure caused server outage today. In the future, use this thread for server problems and information.

Re: Server ready
 

I am in favor of score graphs.

Re: Server ready
 

I have upoaded, but i need the map.

I'm indifferent on the matter of score graphs, would like renaming and 15HoF.

Re: Lord of the Gateways EA 6 players wanted
 

Just waiting on Mictlan to upload now.

Re: Lord of the Gateways EA 6 players wanted
 

Mictlan has finally uploaded. I will start the game sometime in the next 4 hours.

Re: Lord of the Gateways EA 6 players wanted
 

Server is ready. Everyone check everything and make sure it's right. Nuzzles.

Re: Lord of the Gateways EA 6 players wanted
 

Other than having the worst starting position in the history of the universe, everything looks OK from here.

Re: Lord of the Gateways EA 6 players wanted
 

I start with the ability to move to an enemies capital?

Its kinda weird that you cant travel one distance to adjacent.

Re: Lord of the Gateways EA 6 players wanted
 

Good luck & have fun lads! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/cool.gif

*edit*

It seems that the server is down? I cannot connect.. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif

Re: Lord of the Gateways EA 6 players wanted
 

Well, FAJ that should be exptected when reading the introduction. It will be very strange game. I have never said anything else.

Re: Lord of the Gateways EA 6 players wanted
 

So....one turn and then the server went down and no posts, is this game scratched?

Re: Lord of the Gateways EA 6 players wanted
 

No clue, yesterday I wanted to do my first turn, but the server was down, I logged in right now, but the server is still down...:(
