Late Era - Started
 

Hello again, GODS http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Long, long time ago, in the MIDDLE ERA, the world become dark, full of skeletons, living dead, ghouls... Those were the dark times for all living beings...
Emor has defeated all his oponents and become the only ruler.
Now the time has come. The new GODS are awakeing. Emor has vanished, noone knows why.
Rumors say, that he has been banned by the main God, admin....

Now, lets go to the point:
as we have already finished our MA game (congratulations Daniel), now it is time for the Late Era.

Details are like the previous time (I'll try not to forget to set Victory Locations...)

Game Type: TCP/IP (static server)
Speed: multigen for the first 12 turns - later - quickhost but at least 1 gen per 24hrs.
Era: Late
Players: 10 (experience requiered)
Start: Probably 18 March - Ill tell the exact time on Thursday
Nation Selection: without killing pop/disiese spread (Emor), and Vanheim cannot take water bless (unless a neebie player). Water nations: BAN.
Map: 15 provinces per player pre-generated map.
Victory Conditions: 1VP per capital, 10 random 1VP provinces, 12 VP needed to win. 10water prov so the map will be something like 160 prov (for 10 players)

Indi's: 5
Starting prov: 3
Everything Else: Defaults
-we are located in Poland, +2GMT
-no mods
-we play "rpg" kind of game, with pacts, alliances, NAPs etc. What is important, pact once signed MUST be obeyed. Sometimes we say that there is an alliace lasting 10 turns. Or lasts until someone rejects this but with for example a 3 months notice. etc

-those who are interested, please send me an email at
biuro(@)mathilde.pl - I dont usually look at private messages
- Ill email back with the IP, port and time when we start

Please, vote only those who are going to play:)
We start at 5:00 PM EST =>23:00 Polish time, CET => 10:00 PM GMT. Voyte which day. There is a chance that I will be able to play since Sunday, but Ill do my best to be avaible earlier.

So far we have:
1). Blofeld: Marignon
2). Kojusoki: Arco
3). Zolharm: Utgard
4). WSzaboPeter: MAN

Seems we have all the players, so maybe we will start tommorow? As usual, 2 players will forget or something so if anyone wishes to join - ok, he/she will be on a reserve list.

Please send me your emails!!! Im sending port and IP ONLY thru emails (biuro (@) mathilde) so please write something to me:)

Re: Late Era - OPEN for players
 

Is R'lyeh Dreamlands out because it's a pop-killer?

Re: Late Era - OPEN for players
 

I wish to join as Patala. =)

Re: Late Era - OPEN for players
 

Also a water nation http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif

Re: Late Era - OPEN for players
 

Based on what Kojusoki told me, yes. It is also a water nation and obviously some people find the water critters annoying.

Re: Late Era - OPEN for players
 

Right-o. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/redface.gif

Anyhoo, *if* R'lyeh *were* land:

is their pop-killing as extreme as Ermor's?

Re: Late Era - OPEN for players
 

I can do Saturday, as Caelum.

Thanks

Re: Late Era - OPEN for players
 

I've seen posts claiming that R'lyeh killing dom can be offset with growth 3. Anyways, it's banned in this particular game. Plenty of others to choose from.

Re: Late Era - OPEN for players
 

Id like a doover http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif

Playing Pangaea

Re: Late Era - OPEN for players
 

I'll take Utgard land of the giants.

Re: Late Era - OPEN for players
 

I'll take agartha please.

Re: Late Era - OPEN for players
 

Catquiet: Utgard is already taken by Zolharm

Reverend: are you playing or just asking? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif Rlyeh is forbiden - noone knows why;)

SEND ME YOUR EMAILS FOR SERVER AND DIPLOMACY PURPOSES!!!

VOTE WHEN WE START. I CAN START EVEN TODAY:)

Re: Late Era - OPEN for players
 

If the server is free, you could just trow it up and let us upload pretenders. Maybe we're done before friday (shouldnt be too hard imho)

Re: Late Era - OPEN for players
 

For me any day is good for start, unless Saturday when I'm not online all day. (P.S.: I made my pretender.)

Re: Late Era - OPEN for players
 

Methel - server will be ready 10 minutes before we start as we are going to play SEVERAL turns, one by one, for a few hours time. So at the exact time we all have to be connected (we have played many times wich such rules and it worked) and ready for the game. Those who are not ready, simply will not play.

Re: Late Era - OPEN for players
 

Ok, I'll try mictlan then.

Re: Late Era - OPEN for RESERVE players only
 

There's no possible way I can play on Friday.

Re: Late Era - OPEN for RESERVE players only
 

Put me down for a reserve spot pls http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Late Era - OPEN for RESERVE players only
 

roger that:)

Is there anybody who CANNOT play on Sunday?
I see there is one who cannot on friday and one who cannot on saturday.

Re: Late Era - OPEN for RESERVE players only
 

In the attachment, you can find a map (jpg) we will be playing on. This map shows the advance of Emor centuries ago...

Now, when the Emor is almost gone, there are 10 new pretenders... Ten pretenders to become a true GOD. There are Nations who live close together and share similar motives. Maybe they can sign and alliance or other pact at the very begining?

Those Nations WILL NOT attack each others for the first 10 turns (turn 10th is the turn you can send orders to attack):

Marignon + Mitclan (as they share banned blood magic)
Arco + Patala (as they have similar troops)
Utgard + Caelum (as they are cold bastards:)
Man + Pangea (forests)
Agartha + Tien Chi (noone knows why:)

On the map, there will be 10 INDEPENDENT castles with really strong garnizon of Undead's - remains of the once mighty Emor... The castles are worth 1VP and have magical sites.

Re: Late Era - OPEN for RESERVE players only
 

OK, I'll be back on Sunday so we start at Sunday

Re: Late Era - OPEN for players
 

I was thinking about playing, and had forgotten water nations were banned, then figured I'd ask for future reference--in case there was a game banning pop-killers, but not water races.

I've been too busy to check it out in SP myself, so I went the lazy route of asking. Probably better off in the main forum, though. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/smile.gif

Re: Late Era - OPEN for RESERVE players only
 

They're both full of reclusive old men who have fearsome magicks. =)

Re: Late Era - OPEN for RESERVE players only
 

Re: Late Era - OPEN for RESERVE players only
 

I modify map. Now on map is 9 Ermorian Castel and 1 Ermorian Citadel with 1 Titan, 3 fire mage, 3 Grand Thaumaturgy and 150 (200 in citadel) Knight of the unholy Sepulchers (powerful ermor cavalry). In every province with fortes you find Ten Thousand Things(1A,1E,1N,1W,1F), Gem Deposits (75gold), Graveyard of the Damned (2D). Also every castle give 1 VP (citadel 2 VP).

Re: Late Era - OPEN for RESERVE players only
 

I've been trying out mictlan in single player and I really don't like having to do blood sacrifices to spread dominion. I'm going to switch over to black forest ulm.

Re: Late Era - OPEN for RESERVE players only
 

Hmm, I fear that VPs with so big and powerful defense will make all the players no go for VPs reduceing it to a simple deathmatch. In Semi-random-map test game the same problem appeared. The defense even had a huge amount of supply items (cauldrons if I recall correctly) there to negate the long siege technique. I would advise a less powerful guard for those castles.

Re: Late Era - OPEN for RESERVE players only
 

We can decrees skeleton number to 50, it is easy. Titan don’t have magic item, I place him to prevent assassination army commander.

Re: Late Era - OPEN for RESERVE players only
 

Well I think that this will the last bastions of Emor - it must be well defended. Also - reward is awesome - many magic sites and victory points. Is is easier to take an another capital or this neutral castle? I think defence should be high.

Re: Late Era - OPEN for RESERVE players only
 

I think 50 skellies are great, but a huge defense would shift the capturing of the VPs to end game or worse, it could lead to vps being ignored by players.

Re: Late Era - OPEN for RESERVE players only
 

Actually I think the VP defenses are a little easy to take down.

Re: Late Era - OPEN for RESERVE players only
 

LADIES AND GENTLEMAN

I higly recommend downloading the map from here: www.mathilde.pl/10players.rgb

Re: Late Era - OPEN for RESERVE players only
 

Or you could hit the "who's online" link. It gives you usernames, time of last activity, and what they are doing. The first entry will show your name, the current time, and the fact that you are checking who's online.

Re: Late Era - OPEN for RESERVE players only
 

If you figured out Dominions, you'll figure out time zones in no time:)

Re: Late Era - OPEN for RESERVE players only
 

Can't make it Sunday. Sorry =( Feel free to give my slot to someone else.

Re: Late Era - OPEN for RESERVE players only
 

If there is anybody else who cannot play today we can make a delay, but if it is only KissBlade - we start today. Id I dont receive any info, we start in.... 11 hours 17 minutes from now.

Counting....

Re: Late Era - OPEN for RESERVE players only
 

I could have a problem with the 10pm start but im not sure. I'll let you know asap.

Re: Late Era - OPEN for players
 

Game extremist, Methel and Shovah - I didnt receive any email from you

Catquiet: I dont have your password

Re: Late Era - OPEN for players
 

I beg your pardon, but I will have difficulties on the multigen tonight. If we would start with simple 24h quickhost it's okay, but I think I would slow the multigen down. Please give my place to a sub if that's not acceptable. Thanks a lot for your understanding,
DS

Re: Late Era - OPEN for players
 

How much time have you got tonight?

Re: Late Era - OPEN for players
 

Unfortunatly I too will have trouble making it to the multigen this evening. Just got word my GF is coming home about an hour before we start, that combined with the late start and early work tomorrow..

I'll understand if you sub me out, but I'd be happy to play if we can skip the multigen that seems to be hard to make for several of us.

How about a 12 hour host for the first week or so?

Re: Late Era - OPEN for players
 

Im in the same condition of others, i'd be fine with one or two turns tonight but thats about it.

Re: Late Era - OPEN for players
 

Two turns is fine, but more is I'm afraid not. Sorry again.

Re: Late Era - OPEN for players
 

Ok - so we play just a while today.

Re: Late Era - OPEN for players
 

I never got the IP address!

And I'm going to be a little late today! If you absolutely need to start right at 6pm, then just swap me out. I have to do an emergency run to help pick someone up. Hopefully I'll be back right at 6pm EST, but I don't know.

Jazzepi
