EA PBEM Doom Chicken
Hi everyone
I'm thinking about to start a new PBEM game in the early age, as i have no server, it would be a very traditionally handhosted game (but i would not decline, if someone would have a server to use http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif) The Map will Cradle of Dominion (fixed). I will be playing Kailasa. (i suppose there would be no agreement on banning ranged weapons http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/biggrin.gif) I will start the game, if there are at least 10 participants, but i would have no problem with a full house either. About the Rules: Everything will be normal, with the exception that the Hall of Fame will be sized 15. Mods: I will use Velusions Big game Mod: That means Arcane nexus will be very expensive, and also gem producing items will have a higher price. Link Worthy Heroes Mod will be used also. Pace: The game will move 1 turn a day until at least turn 18 (with maybe some sluggishness because of the manual hosting), and then i will change it to 2 days per turn when 3 people want it. Nations: Abysia: Janlm Agharta: Szumo Arcoscephale: PAR Atlantis: Valandil Caelum: Cor2 C'tis: Lazy_Perfectionist Kailasa: Hadrian-II Mictlan: Ubercat Rlyeh: Sir_Dr_D Sauromantia: duke_commando Vanheim: Papastoss Yomi: Burnsaber Please state what nation you want, when you sign up. |
Re: EA PBEM *not yet named*
I think llammabeast might be willing to let you use his PBEM automated server. You should ask. I am in about 5 games right now so I will think about taking a slot here.
You should link to the mods you are going to use. |
Re: EA PBEM *not yet named*
I'd like Mictlan please. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/smile.gif
|
Re: EA PBEM *not yet named*
okay give me Caelum, never played them, should be fun.
|
Re: EA PBEM *not yet named*
I'd like to reserve Ctis, please.
|
Re: EA PBEM *not yet named*
i'll play, i'm going to figure out a nation once i get back from work http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: EA PBEM *not yet named*
Can I suggest we play Epic Heros mod?
|

Also it looked like the mod only does work in MA. |

Ahhh, only MA? Oh well. |
Re: EA PBEM *not yet named*
Ubercat- you're confusing Epic Heroes with Worthy Heroes.
Llama uses Worthy Heroes in a lot of his games. Epic is a different mod. |
Re: EA PBEM *not yet named*
could you reserve arco for me, please
could you re post the link to the big game mod as it goes nowhere and i need to download it cheers |

Can we use worthy heros? If not thats cool. |
Re: EA PBEM *not yet named*
Ahh my bad about Epic. Yes! If we're voting I'd like to use Worthy Heroes.
|
Re: EA PBEM *not yet named*
No opposition to worthy heroes- except that my nation already has a few. But that's a petty way for me to gain an advantage, so I vote YES on including Worthy Heroes.
|
Re: EA PBEM *not yet named*
i'll be playing Abysia, and i'm ok with using worthy heroes.
and btw, you got a small typo on your mod link http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif |
Re: EA PBEM *not yet named*
I'd join, if it's on llamaserver (or velusion's one) - manual hosting seems too unpredictable/unreliable.
Name suggestion: Rapture I'd like Agartha as the nation. |
Re: EA PBEM *not yet named*
Ok, Llamabeast has offered me to host the game on his server, so it will run there. (this also frees my from hosting the game when i will be death [what wont happen anyway http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif])
For me its fine to use the Worthy heroes mod. |
Re: EA PBEM *not yet named*
Rapture? Fine enough name.
A few suggestions of my own. Raptor - bird of prey SamAndMax - adventure game GrimFandango - adventure game DoomChicken - random VampireGourd - odd myth |
Re: EA PBEM *not yet named*
I'd like to join as Sauromatia. Rapture sounds good to me, reminds me of Bioshock.
I'm fine with Worthy Heros as well. |
Re: EA PBEM *not yet named*
If I may be so bold as to make a fairly irrelevant suggestion: Having tried both ways, I would suggest listing as:
Abysia - llamabeast Agartha - LazyPerfectionist rather than llamabeast - Abysia LazyPerfectionist - Agartha because it makes it easier to see which nations have been taken. Not that it really matters. |
Re: EA PBEM *not yet named*
I would like to join and play as Vanheim
|
Re: EA PBEM *not yet named*
I'm also intrested in joining as Yomi. I also vote for Worthy Heroes althought I'm going with Misfortune for my pretender.
|
Doom Chicken
Ok now that we are 10 Players the game will start for sure.
I called the game Doom Chicken, as this name is so wonderfully meaningless. Id say the Map will be Cradle of Dominions. Mods to use will be: Worthy Heroes Big Game Mod Protestnotes will be answered till tomorrow, but then i have to inform Llamabeast about our settings so that he can set up the server. |
Re: EA PBEM *not yet named*
I'm new, but I like losing! Can I play?
Erm... Atlantis? Or, if you don't want a water nation, I'll play Niefelheim. No opposition to worthy heros. |
Doom Chicken
*SQUAWK*
/me casts evil eye towards Dire Wolf. |
Re: Doom Chicken
??? Evil... eye... wolf.. wha?
|
Re: Doom Chicken
Since we're now Doom Chicken, I'm going to discard my Lamia strategy and build a pretender around either a Prince of Death, Dragon, Solar Disc, or Phoenix. Maybe Shedu.
|
Re: Doom Chicken
Hmm... yes... thanks for the information.
NOw, how would you describe your battle tactics? ASre there any easily exploitable weaknessess? I am going to hope that 1) I;m allowed to take Atlantis and 2) that there are no other water naitons. Then, I'm going to hide in the ocean and never come out. |
Re: Doom Chicken
Hint. Hint. Banishment. Cause you know, I may have undead.
Hint. Hint. All my units are coldblooded. |
Re: Doom Chicken
Wow. Thanks. You're very helpful.

Re: Doom Chicken
Hmmm. I remember one game where a friend decided to cast seas of ice with 2300 gems, and then couldnt get rid of his own ritual (It was cast by an immobile pretender).
|
Re: Doom Chicken
Wish for - Death!
Wish for - Armageddon Flying pretender doesn't look as exciting as I originally thought. Sirrushes, for instance, aren't flyers, and I've got no air gems. Who knows what I really will do... I don't. But I'll try to have something ready. |
Re: Doom Chicken
We still need a working link to the Big Game mod. I looked around in the maps and mods section and couldn't find it.
|
Re: Doom Chicken
The link is working, but here's a more direct one for you.

Re: Doom Chicken
So.. we trying to get this one started before llamabeast heads off for a week, or waiting for a full house?
If we're going to kick this off before llamabeast leaves, then... Quote:
|
Re: Doom Chicken
I told Hadrian_II I'd get the game set up before I went so it would start when full (although I guess I need to know the expected number of players for that). If I do it right then all will be well! In the not-unlikely event that I bungle, you may have to wait a few days for a restart. But I will try not to bungle.
|
Re: Doom Chicken
Id say everyone that signs up until tomorrow midday (12 hours from now) will be accepted in the game. We are now 11 players, so its enough for Cradle of Dominion, we will even have a lot of space 20 provinces per player.
The only question is about atlantis being the sole waternation, i would be happier if there are 2 water nations or none. But Cradle of Dominions has only 20 water provinces, so it is not so much of a problem. btw. is there a fixed version of the map where the sea in the northeast is really a water province? |
Re: Doom Chicken
http://www.shrapnelcommunity.com/thr...;Number=501807
I don't know exactly, but this is probably what you're looking for. |
Re: Doom Chicken
Yes, this is exactly what im looking for. so the map we use will be Cradle of Dominions with edis fix applied.
|
Re: Doom Chicken
So you have a probelm with not enough water nations. Let me provide a solution for that. I will play as R'lyey.
|
Re: Doom Chicken
OK, i sent llamabeast the information about the game, so as soon as he provides an address, we can start uploading pretenders.
We are now 12 players with 2 Water nations. As there are only 22 Water provinces on the map, the waternations will have it very cosy. |
Re: Doom Chicken
Doom Chicken???? Jeez man, i coulnd't figure out what happened with this thread http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif
|
Re: Doom Chicken
can someone tell me what this big game mod is about?

"Large Game Mod Changes: Arcane Nexus will cost 300 Astral Pearls to cast Clam of Pearls will require a path 2 (instead of 1) in Nature Magic (Water will stay the same). This will increase the cost to forge. Fever Fetishes will require a path 2 (instead of 1) in Fire Magic (Nature will stay the same). This will increase the cost to forge." |
Re: Doom Chicken
Okay guys, the game is up (see www.llamaserver.net ). To upload pretenders:
- Make sure you don't have the Conceptual Balance mod enabled (since it changes pretender points costs) - Go to Game Tools -> Create a pretender god in Dominions - Go to the savedgames/newlords folder in the dominions directory, and find your pretender file (e.g. mid_kailasa_0.2h) - E-mail the file to: pretenders[ at ]llamaserver[ dot ]net - Crucially, you must have the game name "DoomChicken" in the subject line of your e-mail Assuming I've done everything right, the game will start when all 12 pretenders are in. |
Re: Doom Chicken
Right. Dr_D, the toad people hereby propose a joint squishing of the ridiculous lizards of Lazy_Perfectionist. Once he has been squashed, the eternal and very uncomfortable war between the squids and the toads can resume.

Is it confirmed? Will we be using CB? |

Re: Doom Chicken
We will NOT be using CB- hence, "Make sure that you DON"T have the CB mode enabled..."
