Uakari - MA game (upload pretenders)
 

Okay, this'll be an MA game aimed at people with any skill level, but preferably at least a couple of games under their belt.

We'll use Worthy Heroes, all standard settings, and graphs on. We'll choose a map once we see how many players we get. It'll be about 15 provinces per player, and I'll place no limit on the number of players (so it could be a nice big game).

In addition to the vanilla nations, players are free to choose any of Skaven, Arga Dis or Tomb Kings, which are mod nations which I consider to be well-balanced and complete, as well as interesting. In the case of Tomb Kings I am biased of course. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

The players are:

Pangaea - DryaUnda
R'lyeh - Foodstamp
Arga Dis? - Amhazair
Pythium - Velusion
Ermor - johnarryn
T'ien Ch'i - JZ
Caelum - JanIm
Shinuyama - Cerlin
Skaven - Digress
Mictlan - AreaOfEffect
Tomb Kings - Bananadine
Vanheim - Real_friend

Argh, rather no free time. Will you play, llamabeast? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Uakari - MA game (signup)
 

I'd like to give Pangaea a try.

Re: Uakari - MA game (signup)
 

I would like to play as R'lyeh

Re: Uakari - MA game (signup)
 

Are you allowing those mod nations you classified as 'finished and balanced' in a previous game threat too? If so I might be tempted to go with Arga Dis.

But first I need to know: What kind of animal is an Uakari?

Re: Uakari - MA game (signup)
 

Oh yes! I had meant to write that about the mod nations in the first post, but I forgot. I'll correct it now.

An uakari seems to be some kind of freaky red-faced monkey.

Re: Uakari - MA game (signup)
 

Oh, and to answer Zeldor - alas not. I am going to Thailand for a fortnight in about 7 weeks, so I won't start any new games before I get back from there.

Re: Uakari - MA game (signup)
 

Bumping this to the top so people can see it better and sign up http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Uakari - MA game (signup)
 

Eh I'm about to get knocked out of one. I'll sign up as Pythium.

Re: Uakari - MA game (signup)
 

Ill sign up as Ermor.

Re: Uakari - MA game (signup)
 

Tien-chi, as I am getting killed in another game as Tien-chi.
Have to take revenge.

Re: Uakari - MA game (signup)
 

i'm in as caelum

Re: Uakari - MA game (signup)
 

P.S. I can make a map for this game up if everyone would like whenever we know how many we will have.

Re: Uakari - MA game (signup)
 

Since this isnt a newbie game, can I be shinuyama?

Re: Uakari - MA game (signup)
 

Ahhh ... hell sign me up as Skaven.

Re: Uakari - MA game (signup)
 

this thread needs to be updated...

Re: Uakari - MA game (signup)
 

Give it a little while, I think llama has a lot of stuff going on right now, so this may not get updated until as late as next week.

Re: Uakari - MA game (signup)
 

Hello! Apologies for my slackness in updating the thread!

Right, I am going away in the morning until Sunday evening (GMT). So I suggest leaving the game open until then, then I will close it and get people to upload pretenders. So, sign up now - last chance!

Also, would people like to take Velusion up on his kind offer of sorting us out a random map?

Re: Uakari - MA game (signup)
 

Velusion generating the random map sounds fine to me http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Uakari - MA game (signup)
 

So right now we have 9 players (assuming Amhazair joins). 8 land 1 water nation.

I'll starting making the map tomorrow. Last call for people who want in!

Re: Uakari - MA game (signup)
 

Yeah, you can count on me Velusion. Generally I prefer bigger games, but an occasional smaller one in between won't hurt me. And besides, I've been wanting to try out Arga Dis for quite some time now.

Re: Uakari - MA game (signup)
 

I would personally like to join the game as well if it isn't too late. I'm new to the forum but I have a few multi-player games under my belt.

Please sign me up for Mictlan.

Re: Uakari - MA game (signup)
 

You're in AoE. I'll look thought the generated maps tonight.

Re: Uakari - MA game (signup)
 

Hey, I just got killed in some other game. Can I join this one? If so I will try those delicious-sounding Tomb Kings (and shame them with my mistakes)!

If not then maybe I will just start my own game. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Uakari - MA game (signup)
 

Bananadine, you are in (as are you AOE), and also the game is now open to pretenders! Apologies for the delay there. Please start sending them in (see my FAQ if you are unsure how). Ideally I think it would be good to get them in by tomorrow night (UK time), or Wednesday at the latest.

Thanks for sorting the maps Velusion, that's really helpful.

Re: Uakari - MA game (signup)
 

Helheim !

Re: Uakari - MA game (signup)
 

Er, Vel, will all these last minute players scupper your map? Up to you on whether you think Real_friend should be included.

Also, I wonder whether anyone might volunteer to be the game admin? Normally I don't ask until after the game starts, but it might be good to have someone poke me when all the pretenders are in and so on.

Re: Uakari - MA game (signup)
 

Or missed this one already?
Llamabeaset, let me now please.

Re: Uakari - MA game (signup)
 

Vanheim I mean, of course

Re: Uakari - MA game (signup)
 

Llamabeaset, that would be a good name for a Tomb King!

Re: Uakari - MA game (signup)
 

I don't mind... I can generate more maps. I haven't yet invested any time in them.

So now we have 12, 11 land nations and 1 water?

Re: Uakari - MA game (signup)
 

I'm still would be glad to join.

Re: Uakari - MA game (signup)
 

Cool Real_friend, sounds like you're in.

Re: Uakari - MA game (signup)
 

For some reason, when I send in my pretender, I receive the message that I sent in a pretender for Late age Ulm Reborn instead of one for Arga Dis. Wich is bizarre, since I never even made a pretender for Ulm Reborn. I don't suppose they have the same nation number or something like that?

I'm heading towards bed now, so I won't be able to put any suggestions to solve this problem in action before tomorrow after work.

Re: Uakari - MA game (signup)
 

Yeah, same nation number. It's an underlying flaw in how the LlamaServer deals with mod nations that I guess I'd better sort out! I'm surprised it hasn't come up before actually.

Re: Uakari - MA game (signup)
 

Ok... map is ready you can get it here:

http://arsnotoria.net/dominions3/Uakari.zip

Re: Uakari - MA game (signup)
 

So at this point we are waiting on:

Amhazair
johnarryn
Janlm
Cerlin
Real_Friend

Re: Uakari - MA game (signup)
 

So, do I have to do something special to solve this now, or will you just dig out my god manually or something along those lines?

Re: Uakari - MA game (signup)
 

I will fix it!

Re: Uakari - MA game (signup)
 

Sp we are just waiting on Cerlin and for Agra Dis to be fixed.

Re: Uakari - MA game (signup)
 

I'll fix Arga Dis when I start the game, so just Cerlin really. I'll PM him.

Re: Uakari - MA game (signup)
 

Right, well I'm not sure what to do about Cerlin. I guess I will give him till tomorrow afternoon, and if he doesn't turn up start without him. Will that cause map troubles Velusion?

Re: Uakari - MA game (signup)
 

By the way, apologies everyone for the exceptionally slow start on this game.

Re: Uakari - MA game (signup)
 

Part is my fault sorry, i will send mine in soon.

Re: Uakari - MA game (signup)
 

Did this guy turn his pretender in?

Re: Uakari - MA game (signup)
 

Yep... looks like we are ready to get started assuming llama takes care of arga dis...

Re: Uakari - MA game (signup)
 

Game started! Hooray!

Apologies again for the very slow start on this one - thanks very much to everyone for your patience.

Amhazair - it turns out the fix for the Arga Dis/Ulm Reborn issue is considerably more complicated than I'd have expected - in fact it's probably a couple of hours of work. So for the moment I think you'll have to cope with the server calling you "Ulm Reborn". I don't think there'll be any other side effects.

Re: Uakari - MA game (signup)
 

Would anyone like to volunteer to be admin for this game?

Re: Uakari - MA game (signup)
 

Oh, gods! That's ghastly! Don't do this to me please! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Or, in other words: don't fret over it, and thanks for another (hopefully) great game.

Re: Uakari - MA game (signup)
 

Pretender gods may wish to avoid competing in the arena, lest they become cursed!
