I've switched to Shinuyama
Remove Eriu.

Thanks

Re: Game: Dawn of War
 

Why do you guys want the graphs disabled? Just curious.

Re: Game: Dawn of War
 

They don't want everyone to see how feeble they are http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

I shouldn't be commenting... I'm not even in the game. Tempting though... how many spots are left?

Re: Game: Dawn of War
 

I would take....um....Agartha???

Re: Game: Dawn of War
 

OK. I assume there will be some water provinces? I'll take R'lyeh.

You think you're kidding. But that's one of the two most important reasons. Many
good players take heavy misfortune. A bad event in one of the first turns can
often be seen on the income graph, and paints a big bullseye on the unlucky
nation. Much in the same manner, a lot can be learned about your pretender from
the research graph. When there is no research for the first turn, one can deduce
a sleeping pretender, and decide to attack.

The second reason is that at some point, everyone decides to attack the leader.
The graphs are what people use to decide who the leader is, more often than not.
Graphs off often leads to a more challenging game and really interesting diplomacy.

Re: Game: Dawn of War
 

Yes, I was only half-kidding. I've recently played in a graphs off game, and it was very challenging to try and decide who was actually powerful. I like it... although, in a large game, I tend to want the graphs on. In a game of this size, graphs off should be fine.

Re: Game: Dawn of War
 

If there is a choice I would prefer graphs off as well. I think it is more realistic along with the reasons stated above by the others.

Re: Game: Dawn of War
 

I'm in as Ulm.

Re: Game: Dawn of War
 

Zach, did you reset this server? last game at 8097 we couldnt get in

Re: Game: Dawn of War
 

It's funny, out of all the graphs I actually think that research tell your opponent the most about what sort of game plan you have. Though really it's a combination of exact information in several areas combined that can give you a good idea of your opponent's strategy, position, and abilities without ever sending a single scout. It's completely unrealistic.

Re: Game: Dawn of War
 

If so, ill take MAN

Re: Game: Dawn of War
 

I would like to play Marignon

Re: Game: Dawn of War
 

Given that scores will be posted on the internet we mind as well have scores in game as well. Otherwise people who have the endurance to watch the internet scores will have an unfair advantage.

Re: Game: Dawn of War
 

i would like to try Oceania

Re: Game: Dawn of War
 

I'm sure the internet scores could be disabled.

Jazzepi

Re: Game: Dawn of War
 

Then I'll try Tien Chi.

Re: Game: Dawn of War
 

When will this game start?

Re: Game: Dawn of War
 

Everyone who uploaded a pretender early might want to recheck--the server went down for a while according to a post here and when I checked last night, all the slots were open, even those previously claimed early on in the thread.

Re: Game: Dawn of War
 

Joined as Machaka, at any rate.

Re: Game: Dawn of War
 

In as Atlantis.

Re: Game: Dawn of War
 

I've decided to go with Shinuyama instead. I don't know how to remove Eriu. I guess an admin has to do it.

Re: Game: Dawn of War
 

Pretender uploaded.

Re: Game: Dawn of War
 

R'lyeh Pretender uploaded.

Re: Game: Dawn of War
 

C'tis Pretender uploaded.

Re: Game: Dawn of War
 

Jotunheim has been uploaded.

Re: Game: Dawn of War
 

Hi! I'd like to join as Pangaea.

Re: Game: Dawn of War
 

Marignon loaded

Re: Game: Dawn of War
 

I'll be uploading soon, please don't start before then.

Jazzepi

Re: Game: Dawn of War
 

How many nations are there going to be?? I found 16 requests.

Re: Game: Dawn of War
 

Okay, I uploaded.

Jazzepi

Re: Game: Dawn of War
 

Let's just put a start date and let anyone in play.

I propose we start on monday.

Re: Game: Dawn of War
 

Whenever is fine with me, but weekends sometimes allows more people to play more turns.

Re: Game: Dawn of War
 

Monday sounds good to me.

Re: Game: Dawn of War
 

I'm joining in as Abysia.

I really suck at Dominions and never played multiplayer before, so if you don't want me to play just tell me.

Re: Game: Dawn of War
 

no, its fine playing if you're inexperienced.. just be careful, and understand that most likely someone will stomp on you. Or there are "noob" games started around here pretty frequently; those are a great way to learn. Of course, being squished is also a pretty good way to learn http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Game: Dawn of War
 

Only one way to learn multiplayer Poop... jump into the fire.

Re: Game: Dawn of War
 

ok i'll be kicking it off in a few hours...

Re: Game: Dawn of War
 

zach, eriu still shows as having a pretender uploaded... but the player who uploaded changed over to shinuyama

Re: Game: Dawn of War
 

There's no way to get rid of a pretender, that I know of, once they've been uploaded. These games that Zach hosts aren't terribly well organized, and this has happened every one of them I've been in. Invariably the person will stale for several turns since nobody is playing him, and he'll either be overrun, or set to AI.

Re: Game: Dawn of War
 

yah, i couldn't remember if there was a way to remove... not a big deal... one bonus magic site http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Re: Game: Dawn of War
 

Sorry about switching. I didn't realize it would be a problem to switch.
