Greetings everyone

As we have a new year it is time for a new dom3 game http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/biggrin.gif

Re: New EA Game Looking for Players
 

Sign me up, don't have much experience in MP (only a total of 3 games) but its been a while since I had a good thrashing.

Map & Settings: Fine by me.
Mods: A definite yes on Worthy Heroes. The newest version, do you mean the last set up by QM, 1.8 I believe?
Graphs: Off. Diplomacy becomes *really* important with graphs off.
Globals: No opinion.

Nation: I'm up for R'lyeh -- scrap that. Sign me up for Tir Na Nog.

Re: New EA Game Looking for Players
 

Would a complete newbie be welcome?

If yes then:

Nation: Marverni
Map & Settings: No probs.. The Alexander Map is a tasty looker
Mods: Yes to the majority
Graphs: Off - it gives away to much
Globals: Acquiesce to the majority

Cheers..

Re: New EA Game Looking for Players
 

I wish to be in as Niefelhiem, see if I can play that nation right this time.

Re: New EA Game Looking for Players
 

I'll join as Caelum.

Please give us precise details of any of the changes you are making (such as to the gemproducing items), so we can plan accordingly.

Re: New EA Game Looking for Players
 

I would like abyssia

Graphs:on (cheat un-friendly)
Astral corr + Utterdark: on
Worthy heroes: whatever is fine.

Re: New EA Game Looking for Players
 

I don't think you need to worry about that. There's been no hint of any cheating on Dom3.

Re: New EA Game Looking for Players
 

Nickolai can't log in right now, but wants me to reserve Arcoscephale
for him. He will posts his preferences himself, I guess.

Re: New EA Game Looking for Players
 

Hi,

I would like to join as Pangaea,

my voting:

Graphs: active
Bans: no bans
Worthy Heroes: yes

Re: New EA Game Looking for Players
 

Everyone can play, the more noobs that are here the higher are my chances to win http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

They will have their path increased:
Clam N2 instead of N1
Bloodstone E3 instead of E2
Fever fetish F2 instead of F1

Re: New EA Game Looking for Players
 

I´d like to sign up!

Nation: T'ien Ch'i

The setting are fine by me
Worthy heroes: yes!

Re: New EA Game Looking for Players
 

I'm in as Fomoria.

I think graphs should be on.
Worthy Heroes are ok by me.
and don't mod spells out.

Re: New EA Game Looking for Players
 

Meister_Miagi is having trouble logging in. He wants to play Mictlan in this game. Thanks.

Re: New EA Game Looking for Players
 

Ill try Ermor. And as for changes
I think we should have graphs,
No spell ban
and worthy heroes is always fun.

Re: New EA Game Looking for Players
 

i would love to play Lanka in this one http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: New EA Game Looking for Players
 

Helheim please.

Worthy heroes- yes
Graphs- abstain
Bans- no

Re: New EA Game Looking for Players
 

I take Atlantis (for the Godfather II)

For the case no other water-nation showes up: Yomi

Mods: none
Graphs: don't care
Bans: no

Re: New EA Game Looking for Players
 

Yes, I want Arco. I vote for banning Astral Corruption and Utterdark if Nexus is banned. I vote against Worthy Heroes, althought that is hopeless cause.

Re: New EA Game Looking for Players
 

Never thought this would fill up this fast, but nice suprises are the best.

The first Godfather was not very sucessful, maybe you should try something different. (or at least not attack me) http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/biggrin.gif

Re: New EA Game Looking for Players
 

Depends how you difine successful (at least all my neigbourghs banded up against me http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/stupid.gif), but I will give my best to be (even) more annoying this time.

Re: New EA Game Looking for Players
 

I was nowhere near you, but I thought the first godfather was very entertaining.

Re: New EA Game Looking for Players
 

Me too, and I wasn't even in the game!

Re: New EA Game Looking for Players
 

I'll try Ctis, here's my preferences:

Graphs: yes
Worthy Heroes: no
Ban Astral Corruption: no
Ban Utterdark: no

Re: New EA Game Looking for Players
 

I'm in. Haven't tried a water nation MP, so R'lyeh please.

Votes: Ban the nasty spells, yes to the mod and graphs.

Re: New EA Game Looking for Players
 

Hi, I'll join also with Oceania.

Votes: Ban all the nasty spells and yes to mod and graphs =)

Re: New EA Game Looking for Players
 

If you still have room I'll take Ulm.

I would vote no bans, yes to graphs and ambivalence to worthy heroes.

Re: New EA Game Looking for Players
 

I'll take some Vanheim.

Graphs: off
Astral Corruption: off
Utterdark: off
Worthy heroes: no

Re: New EA Game Looking for Players
 

w00t we are almost full, now just Yomi is open to take.

It looks like we are playing with graphs and worthy heroes, and that astral corruption and utterdark are allowed.

If someone want to recount, here are my votes:

Graphs: yes
ban spells: no
Worthy heroes: yes
(no i did not fake the results, or at least only subconcious)

So we are close to a start, i will create the mod we need later today, and you can start to design pretenders. The game cant start before next week, as hEad is still waiting for his copy to arrive http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif.

EDIT: and we still need a better name than New EA Game http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif

Re: New EA Game Looking for Players
 

Xietor's Kitchen Sink mod is probably pretty much the same as what you want.

Re: New EA Game Looking for Players
 

I know, i will take this mod and just delete the removal of some globals.

Re: New EA Game Looking for Players
 

Names? Hmm... here are some suggestions:


Skull Spitter
Negative Land
The Dawn of the Living, the Dead and All Those In Between
Before the Beginning and After the End
The Invasion of Locusts
A Blessing in Disguise
One Step Forward, Two Steps Back
Scream With a View
Dead Moon Rising
The Comets are Aligned to Hit the Same Spot
The Descension Wars
The Song of the Undertaker
Prong
Black Earth
The Million Step March
A Fork in Time
In the Long Outdistance
Fire in the Water
Looking from the other Side of Death
Wanton Sport
God Bye
I Left My Arm in San Francisco
A Bridge Over the Void
A Farse of the Gods
The Was that Is
The Divine Sepulcher

And my personal two favourites:

Alexander was a Chicken Wuss!
Tir Na n'Og Rulez and all other gods are a Bunch of Luuusers!

Note: with appologies to everyone from I which I shamelessly ripped off.

Re: New EA Game Looking for Players
 

You obviously have too much time Sorlakind http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Re: New EA Game Looking for Players
 

Note the shocking hypocrisy with the fact that I'm repeatedly checking the thread for a game I'm not even in! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: New EA Game Looking for Players
 

When I look at the map:

War on Oil
[img]/threads/images/Graemlins/Barrel.gif[/img] The $100-barrel

Otherwise:

http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/skull.gif The return of Hired-Goon & Wolven-Winter Ltd.

Re: New EA Game Looking for Players
 

OK, i attach a changed variant of the kitchen sink mod that we will be used, the mod contains some other fixes that should not hurt the game.

I think "A blessing in disguise" will make a nice name.

@llamabeast: we are still looking for Yomi, why not you?

Re: New EA Game Looking for Players
 

I'm still in two other games, and I've found that three can get a bit too much, so I am being strong and restraining myself. Must admit it's very tempting though.

Re: New EA Game Looking for Players
 

Can we rename the kitchen sink mod? I'm playing in another game where we use the original kitchen sink mod.

Re: New EA Game Looking for Players
 

Does someone know any guide to pbem?
I mean not a srategy but mechanics (sending files etc.).
This will be my first mp game.

Thanks in advance.

Re: New EA Game Looking for Players
 

Follow the link to the FAQ in my signature.

Re: New EA Game Looking for Players
 

Is it Worthy Heroes 1.6 or 1.7?

Re: New EA Game Looking for Players
 

OK, this version has a different name to avoid problems in the mod folder.

btw, i removed the old one, and as it has a different one, it is obsolete

Re: New EA Game Looking for Players
 

Version 1.8

Re: New EA Game Looking for Players
 

Streamers & Standards mod can be active and will not influence the game. Am I rigth?

Re: New EA Game Looking for Players
 

what other mods you use in your other games, has absolutely no influence on this game

Re: New EA Game Looking for Players
 

Give in to the dark side as i did- Marmoset will be winding down by the time this one gets time consuming.

Re: New EA Game Looking for Players
 

Hadrian, I mean this game.
'Streamers and Standards' mod is pure grapfical change of national standards. AFAIK, it does not disturb mp games, but I'de like someone to confirm. I just have no exp. in mp games. Of course I will switch it off if there is any danger to spoil the turn file.

Re: EA Game \"A Blessing in Disguise\"
 

I wouldn't mind giving Yomi a go - have played it before ... very briefly.

Would love to have a second go.

Re: EA Game \"A Blessing in Disguise\"
 

Can we please have commander renaming enabled in this game.
