Serenity - MA Newbie Team Game (running)
 

Hello everyone. I have played a lot of SP Dom3 but never MP. I would like to start a multi-player team game with the following settings:

<font color="blue">
Map: Small Random

Rate of Turns: Server will be hosted once every night at 24:00 EST.

Independent Strength: 9

Magic Research: Default

Gold/Resources/Supplies: Default

</font>

All other settings will be at default.

No AI players will play unless a player drops out.

Please post here with your name and the nation you would like to play. Please only sign up if you are new to multi-player games. (Three games or less) before beginning. Check this post for all updated details.

Thanks for your interest! If you have any questions or concerns, post here. I intend on beginning the game as soon as we fill up. (Eight to twelve players)

<font color="green">

Ulm -- thekdawg
Pythium -- Arghaii - 6th Place
Pangaea -- Kruton -- 9th Place
Ermor -- Nozshand
R'lyeh -- Siyfka
Shinuyama -- Kamamura -- 8th Place
Abysia -- TREAD_HEAD -- 5th Place
Mictlan -- Executor / Psycho
Man -- Gowb -- 7th Place

Need some players! Should be a fun time.

Re: Serenity - MA Newbie Team Game (starting)
 

Well this certainly sounds interesting. I'll have think if I can afford third game timewise though.

Is there any particular reason for indy strength 9? In my opinion it just cuts pretender options down. Either you have good sacreds with great bless or an awake SC god. Anything else will put you at serious disadvantage in the early expansion I think.

Re: Serenity - MA Newbie Team Game (starting)
 

I never really considered that. I will drop the indy strength if folks want to do that. I had previously thought it might slow down expansion, but I see your point.

Re: Serenity - MA Newbie Team Game (starting)
 

Dying to start this game (or join someone elses newbie game). Anyone else interested?

Re: Serenity - MA Newbie Team Game (starting)
 

I will join as Pythium.

email is: lnikolaidis@gmail.com if you feel it's easier to reach me that way http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Serenity - MA Newbie Team Game (starting)
 

I'll play as pangaea

Re: Serenity - MA Newbie Team Game (starting)
 

i call for ermor

Re: Serenity - MA Newbie Team Game (starting)
 

Starting up as soon as we get four more players. I will be PM'ing everyone with the server information as well as the local game rules. (One turn every day)

Re: Serenity - MA Newbie Team Game (starting)
 

I'd like to play as Ry'leh

Re: Serenity - MA Newbie Team Game (starting)
 

I would like to join as Shinuyama

Re: Serenity - MA Newbie Team Game (starting)
 

I would like to play as Abysia

Re: Serenity - MA Newbie Team Game (starting)
 

I'll take Mictlan.

Re: Serenity - MA Newbie Team Game (starting)
 

Independent str 9 is very interesting, imho. It really does not hinder expansion much. It only hinders reckless expansion.
I think it will make the game very interesting as sometimes special enemies occupy provinces that are not normally seen with lower indie str levels.
Indie str 9 is good for small maps. Please reconsider http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Serenity - MA Newbie Team Game (starting)
 

PM's will be sent out today regarding host connection details. Server will remain open for 24 hours starting tonight 3/17 (23:59) til tomorrow 3/18 (23:59) for pretender creation. Turn 1 will begin at 23:59 3/18.

** Server will be hosted every night at 24:00, if you have a stale turn three turns in a row without informing us, we find you a replacement and/or set you to AI **

Re: Serenity - MA Newbie Team Game (starting)
 

Also, I will be keeping the indy strength 9 setting unless others vote against it soon.

Re: Serenity - MA Newbie Team Game (starting)
 

Spots still open! Please keep signing up http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

And AI strength will remain 9 if no-one else protests.

Re: Serenity - MA Newbie Team Game (starting)
 

what time zone you use?

Re: Serenity - MA Newbie Team Game (starting)
 

EST. The main post is edited to reflect that.

Also:

PM's are sent out to everyone signed up for the game. Please read the message closely. Pretender uploading starts TONIGHT at 24:00 EST. If you didn't get a PM or have any questions, you can IM me at thekdawg21 on most popular IM services, PM me on these forums, or e-mail me at klisek at comcast dot net

Re: Serenity - MA Newbie Team Game (starting)
 

Pretender selection has begun. Server is up and will remain up until the end of the game.

Re: Serenity - MA Newbie Team Game (starting)
 

Is this game closed? Looks like I just missed it. :\

Re: Serenity - MA Newbie Team Game (starting)
 

The game is starting tomorrow at midnight EST. If you want to get in, go ahead and pick a nation and I'll send you the server info.

Re: Serenity - MA Newbie Team Game (starting)
 

Sounds good! I will think over the remaining nation choices for a few hours before picking one then. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Serenity - MA Newbie Team Game (starting)
 

Pretender uploaded.

Re: Serenity - MA Newbie Team Game (starting)
 

Pretender uploaded

Re: Serenity - MA Newbie Team Game (starting)
 

Uploaded.

Re: Serenity - MA Newbie Team Game (starting)
 

Ayo shall we begin the game people?

Re: Serenity - MA Newbie Team Game (starting)
 

Are you guys still accepting joining? I'd like to sign up as Man if possible.

Re: Serenity - MA Newbie Team Game (starting)
 

Hey, after some thought, I'd like to sign up as Argatha if it's not too late.

Re: Serenity - MA Newbie Team Game (starting)
 

Gowb and Moderation check your PM's. If you can connect and upload pretenders within the next six hours you are in.

Otherwise, first turn begins in six hours. Good luck everyone!

Re: Serenity - MA Newbie Team Game (starting)
 

"Before the game starts I will assign teams and give everyone a day to talk over strategy with their teammate before beginning."

Okay, so I'm working out my pretender design and strategy ideas (I have relatively few). Do we get to 24 hours to plan strategy with our teammates before or after we upload our pretenders? It would nice to be able to talk strategy before finalizing pretenders, but I'll go with the flow.

Re: Serenity - MA Newbie Team Game (starting)
 

Alright, main post edited for correctness. I originally had this idea of starting a team game, but I scrapped it and accidently left in some of the documentation on the main post. This is a regular game, no teams. Only one standing at the end. Diplomacy is allowed, however.

We will beginning the game at 12midnight tonight, so please be ready at that time. You don't need to actually send in your turn until the next evening at midnight, however.

You will need to get your pretended uploaded within the next appx six hours though.

I apologize for any inconvienience that my poor post has caused.

Re: Serenity - MA Newbie Team Game (starting)
 

Ah crap I just remembered I have a family reunion to go to that lasts from Thursday to Monday. I got excited about my first online game of dom and forgot...I think I might be able to keep up, but if not, what should I do? Would someone else take my turn for me? Would missing a few turns be really damaging? Is it possible to delay for a bit? Sorry, it really completely slipped my mind.

Re: Serenity - MA Newbie Team Game (starting)
 

I will see if folks mind waiting around for ya. But since it's early game, I wouldn't expect it. Maybe you know someone that can sub in for you for a few days?

Re: Serenity - MA Newbie Team Game (starting)
 

Siyfka for some reason your pretender got changed to AI. Did you do that? If not, you'll have to re-upload your pretender tonight.

Re: Serenity - MA Newbie Team Game (starting)
 

Hm, it seems like I may not have to sub out after all, Dominions works well on my family's laptop. As long as I can find a nearby source of wireless I'm in business! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Serenity - MA Newbie Team Game (starting)
 

Game has begun. Good luck everyone!

Re: Serenity - MA Newbie Team Game (starting)
 

The Last Light of the Tuatha, the Beginning and the End, the Goddess of Birth Rilana guides us. With the Witches of Avalon and the power of the Sidhe behind us, The Kingdom of Man seeks an end to the chaos and tumult of our age and the dawning of a new peace.

To the false Gods, we offer no quarter. By the blades of the Wardens, the Tower of Avalon shall prevail!

Re: Serenity - MA Newbie Team Game (starting)
 

Okay, I think I have my hands full with my other game and will pass on this. I was hoping for a team game anyhow. However if someone needs a sub for a few turns I'd be happy to fill in (however be warned, I'm fairly new http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif). Anyhow good luck. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Our lands our cold, as cold as our steel. We put our faith in that which we can touch, for never it shall fail us. The Black Lords of Ulm, nigh unstoppable on a full charge, pledge their services to the Father of Winter. May he have mercy on our souls, but may he be strict and temper our hearts with the rime needed to have no mercy on the false nations.

My bakemono are baking their beaks...

Re: Serenity - MA Newbie Team Game (starting)
 

The Republic of Pythium, true descendants of the old Empire, hail the barbarian nations of the world and offer the following unbeliavable first-time offer!

To all the barbarian tribes and nations, no matter who you are and how you look like, you are welcome in our glorious Empire! Discard your fake gods and idols and embrace the true faith and civilization. You will be given a small home in the borders of our empire and a slave woman to make family with!
Or you can join the legions and earn your way to become a TRUE Pythian!

We want YOU ! &lt;-------------

Re: Serenity - MA Newbie Team Game (starting)
 

Question - I have connected from my PC1, made my move, and disconnected - then I connected with PC2 from another place, but I got initial position again. Will it delete my previously submitted move?

Re: Serenity - MA Newbie Team Game (starting)
 

You have to repeat your moves.

Re: Serenity - MA Newbie Team Game (starting)
 

Once you hit 'end turn', it sends the server your 2h file and saves your moves. You can always reconnect before hosting and add to your moves/rethink your strategy. (but the server will think that you're done with your move, so don't do this in a game where the server executes when all players are done)

Re: Serenity - MA Newbie Team Game (starting)
 

Can you verify that my moves are entered?

Re: Serenity - MA Newbie Team Game (starting)
 

All I can see is that 'Shinuyama has played it's turn', so it appears that you entered your moves in.

Re: Serenity - MA Newbie Team Game (starting)
 

Pangaea you are going to stale on your first turn if you don't get your turn submitted in two hours!

Re: Serenity - MA Newbie Team Game (starting)
 

Just posted turn one.

Re: Serenity - MA Newbie Team Game (starting)
 

I sent him an email. I think he got it because it says he's finished his turn. Is the server on quickhost...? Because it's not, uh, hosting or whatever. It's not progressing to turn 2.

Edit: Oh, there he is. Woop.
