I assume his is V3.08 if so then I would like to try http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif Might as well play with the big boys in my first mp game.

Game starting, waiting for pretenders.
 

Great, we have 12 players. Some old faces, some new faces. I'm always really happy to see new players who are taking the plunge into multiplayer =)
Trust me, it's a whole different ballgame than SP. At the same time, it's much more interesting, and I think you will find that it is hard to go back to SP after playing some fun MP games.

At the moment, we are waiting for pretenders. PLEASE endeavor to have your pretender to me by 8 pm EST (GMT -5) on Wednesday, May 9th. As soon as I receive your pretender, I will email you the map files. You should place these in a folder in /savedgames entitled "warishell2"

Feel free to conduct diplomacy on the boards. Remember to be courteous, and I find it best to refer to nations rather than players, i.e. "Ulm is a backstabbing troglodyte" versus "johnarryn is... etc., etc."

Good luck. I will post on the board when the game begins. If you don't receive your turn by the time you see the posting, please email me so I know you haven't received the file.

Remember, pretenders must be EARLY AGE.
Thanks!

Re: Game starting, waiting for pretenders.
 

Eehm, I know it's a pain, but the chieftain of Lanka will be out of his capital village this thursday and friday. So it's possible that the turn won't be in time. Very sorry.

Re: Game starting, waiting for pretenders.
 

That's fine... please do your best to get the turn in, but we can wait if necessary.

Re: Game starting, waiting for pretenders.
 

The Agartha leader wishes to extend out a helping hand to anyone willing to coexist with us. We have no intentions to slave, pillage, flay skin or by any other means harm any other nations beings. We promice! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/evil.gif

Re: Game starting, waiting for pretenders.
 

Beware that agartha will want to live in the swamplands. Stop us from this and we will poke you with sharp objects. Poke!

(I opened the map in the map editor and noticed a very few swamps so im gonna have to fight hard to get one.)

Re: Game starting, waiting for pretenders.
 

I've got your swamp right here, buddy.

*crude Triton King gesture*

Re: Game starting, waiting for pretenders.

Re: Game starting, waiting for pretenders.
 

Also, I believe ive sent the map files to everyone who has sent me a pretender. Plese let me know if you havet received the files.

Re: Game starting, waiting for pretenders.
 

Recieved the files, pretender will be in an hour or two.

Re: Game starting, waiting for pretenders.
 

Ok, i've received all pretender files. Unfortunately, im at work =)
So, the game will be started when I get home from work, about 5 pm EST (GMT -5). The first turn will be due by 8 pm EST on Thursday, May 10th... although we will have to delay for cupido2, who will be out thursday and friday. I do hope that after that, however, things will go smoothly.
Good luck, everybody.

Turn 3 has been sent out.

Re: Turn 3
 

5 hours to go, we're waiting on Mictlan. Everybody has been doing a great job of getting their turns in on time.

Re: Turn 3
 

Thats the only great job agartha has done so far.... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif

Re: Turn 3
 

Hehe... Agartha is certainly not the easiest of nations to play.

Turn 4
 

Turn 4 is out

Turn 5
 

Turn 5 has been sent out. Deadline is 8 pm EST (GMT -5) on Monday, May 14th... however, the turn will probably not be sent out until a bit later than that, as I will be out Monday evening.

Re: Turn 5
 

Whoa, I already have everyones turns except for:
Mictlan
Rlyeh

So, if i can get those by tomorrow morning i'll host early, otherwise it will be the standard evening host. I know i've been gushing already, but i'm actually really impressed by how quickly everyone has been getting their turns in. Good times.

Turn 6
 

Turn 6 is out. Deadline is 8 pm (GMT -5) on Tuesday, May 15th.

Re: Turn 6
 

Is it just me or is gold rather scarce on this map?

Re: Turn 6
 

Was thinking the same...

Re: Turn 6
 

I haven't seen any huge provs... im not starving for gold either, however. Sometimes random maps can have a smaller amount of gold than others.

Re: Turn 6
 

Gold is a luxury for my agarthian people. We scrape by on sea plant food and a free unit here and there http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif After our fatal first battle where our brave godhood himself allmost got stomped by a raving horde of elephants and annhilated most of the agarthian army we have been forced to out sourcing our millitary muscle http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif (mercenaries)
