Re: Newbie game looking for players
 

Cool,8 Maybe shooting way too high...
what do you want to play? call it so no one else takes it http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/biggrin.gif

Re: Newbie game looking for players
 

I would like to play in this game. I'm very new, and I don't mind terribly much which empire I get to play. I'll try out some races from the early empire and then pick one by tomorrow. Just keep a spot for me.

Re: PBEM for Newbies looking for players
 

I would be interested. I have yet to play a Multi-player Dom3 game. I don't care what nation I play.

The only ones I have tried are;
Niefelheim
Kailasa
Vanheim

Sammual

Re: PBEM for Newbies looking for players
 

Hi Cor

I'm interested and would like to try Abysia.

Re: PBEM for Newbies looking for players
 

if there's room I'd like to join.. still thinking of nation!
I am in one other PBEM, which is my first..

Re: PBEM for Newbies looking for players
 

Thanks guys! please Pick a nation and email me your pretenders ( see email above). So we can get this party started.

Re: PBEM for Newbies looking for players
 

I'll take Sauromatia, seems like fun.
I sent the pretender.

Well, right now it's bedtime for me, so I guess I can't play today anymore. Maybe tomorrow morning before work if I have received all files I need. I can't play the rest of the Tuesday (location Netherlands).

Good luck to all

Re: PBEM for Newbies looking for players
 

I am just waiting on two more pretenders, then we can start. if i get them before 4:30pm Chicago time i can probobly send out a turn today. If I get them later then the turn will likely go out tomorrow.


I am looking forward to this. Great line up thus far. Abysia, Sauromatia and Pangea have such interesting and different stratagies. This will be a fun game.

Very exicting. Please just dont eliminate me on before the 10th turn http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Re: Looking for gods.
 

Update: I got an email from "Dedas" Who wants to play oceana. I think that if I am still lacking pretenders by tommorrow morning that Dedas could fill a slot. And we could start by Wendsday afternoon with the players we have even if its only 5.

I would like to keep it at 6 players, the Aran map gets kind of crowded with any more than that, which might lead to premature eliminations and since we are all new, that just does not seem nice.

Re: Looking for gods.
 

If you want to throw me in I'm all yours. I've sent my pretender. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Cheers!

Re: Looking for gods.
 

I have to admit that I'm a bit excited...

Re: Looking for gods.
 

me too ;-)
I am hosting my first PBEM game as well, but it's for 16 people making it quite slow. I am only at turn 3 now...

I might start another one for a small amount of people, like 4 to 6, think it would be great when you're further in the game with MP/PBEM!

Re: Looking for gods.
 

If you still haven't started and have space just let me know, sent pretender, EA Atlantis

News flash!
 

We have our second backup. I will send out a turn tonight if all goes well. Looks pretty clear that Dedas- Oceania &
Jutetrea - Atlantis will be playing. Hope the other players know how to swim!

Re: News flash!
 

Darn, not Atlantis. My age sworn enemy! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: News flash!
 

I will send out a turn when i get home in an hour or two. Please install the new .6 patch.

Thanks

Re: Looking for gods.
 

Turn #1 is out. please have it back in 20 hours or so.

Good luck all!

Re: Looking for gods.
 

turn sent :-)

Re: Looking for gods.
 

bump of goodness!

Lets get this thing rollin, since its a small amount of players do we want to try to keep track of when turns are sent? maybe get 2/day? I'm assuming its too much of a pain for the host, but you never know.

Re: Looking for gods.
 

Sorry Guys. I Cant host 2 per day, except on some weekends. I ve got work and all. Turn coming soon.

turn out
 

Turn 2 out.

Do people want to play more turns on the weekend?

Re: turn out
 

I really wanted to play in this game, but I'm having fatal issues with the 3.6 patch. Until that's resolved, I don't want to hold up everyone else's fun. Feel free to delegate my empire to computer or anyone else who wants to play.

Sorry guys http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif

Re: turn out
 

Actually I think I fixed it. Sorry about the slow down. Cor, can you resend me my turn? I deleted it >.<

Jazzepi

problems
 

Good to hear everything is peachy http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif turn resent.

New turn
 

I have all the turns. Will host as soon as i get home in about two of hours.

New Turn
 

Turn 3 is out!

Re: New Turn
 

got "cd key violation" for oceania. Wat does that mean and how do we fix it. Seemed to host normally other wise. Oceania's first and second turn hosted fine, i believe Dedas has a vaild copy. So whats the deal?

Re: New Turn
 

Sorry, I have been fiddling around with Python 2.5 abit, and the config file. I may have corrupted the turn somehow. I will send you a new one when I've downgraded to 2.4.4 again (with the weird Xorg crashes and all).

Re: New Turn
 

I've tried the: dom3 --verify X command on our game, but it says my CD-key is fine (as it should). I don't really now what is up. I try to resend.

Re: New Turn
 

I think ive gor all the turns. Hosting in 30 min.

Re: New Turn
 

If you make it 10 minutes from now I can still play before I have to go :-D ;-)

Re: New Turn
 

Turn 4 out!

sorry i did it as fast as i could, I have dialup and i have to transfer files between two computers with CDs. One day i will emerge from the stone ages.

Re: New Turn
 

wow.. transfer with CDs!
well, kudos for still hosting the game :-)

And I made it to send the turn.. thanks!

Re: New Turn
 

I will probably not do me any good to tell you this, but I got a very nice plague in my capitol, lol. 15000 people gone and half the income... nice. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: New Turn
 

tough luck dedas. i will send you some gems the next turn and sacrifice 10000 slaves for your health. This as a sign that the noble kingdom of abysia is falsly accused of being bloodthirsty.

Re: New Turn
 

I always knew that. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Plague
 

Luckily the most enlightened republic of Arco has its philosiphers hard at work on sanitation procedures to avert such horrible plagues.

But really, that sucks, sorry.

I have four of six turns already. I will check back every couple of hours to see if we can host again. Weekends rock.

Re: Plague
 

I just want to say this: STOP DUMPING YOUR GARBAGE IN THE SEA! It is making us fishes sick and angry.

Re: Plague
 

five of six turns in.

Re: Plague
 

Sorry for the delay, didn't think we'd be able to turn it around so soon. I'll check more often.

turn
 

I just got back home. I have all the turns. hosting in about 30 min.

turn 5
 

turn 5 out! I will check back every couple of hours to see if all the turns are in.

progress
 

we have 3/6 turns thus far. will check back in an hour or two.

getting late
 

Its getting late here. Will go to bed soon. Hosting again tomorrow.

Re: getting late
 

phew! this is much faster than the 16 person PBEM I'm hosting.. nice!

Hosting
 

Got all the 2h files. Hosting soon.

Re: Hosting
 

Turn #6 Out!

I will check back in a couple of hours to see how many turns we have in.

Re: Hosting
