hunt11 April 25th, 2008 07:14 AM

Re: New LA game for new players sign up now

Hellkor April 25th, 2008 09:00 PM

Re: New LA game for new players sign up now
 
Actually I'd rather have Arcoscephale as my pick.

ghostwes April 25th, 2008 10:00 PM

Re: New LA game for new players sign up now
 
May I join you?

If so, I will play Tien Chi.

This will be my first multiplayer game so I'll probably need a lot of assistance. Be patient with me, please.

hunt11 April 26th, 2008 03:09 AM

Re: New LA game for new players sign up now
 
sure your in, anyway the whole point of this game is for people who are new to mp to learn how to

Re: New LA game for new players sign up now
 
I'll join as Patala! I just finished my first game (though it only lasted 19 turns...grr) and I'm currently in two more. I hope that isn't too much experience?

Vellon April 26th, 2008 10:19 PM

Re: New LA game for new players sign up now
 
I am in as Pangaea!

secretperson April 26th, 2008 11:15 PM

Re: New LA game for new players sign up now
 
I am currently playing 2 MP games and subbing permanently for 1 more but I am pretty much as new as they come. Am I eligible?

hunt11 April 27th, 2008 04:30 AM

Re: New LA game for new players sign up now
 
Yes you can play secretperson though you are pushing the limit a little bit

secretperson April 27th, 2008 05:38 AM

Re: New LA game for new players sign up now
 
I'd like to play as C'tis then please

hunt11 April 27th, 2008 05:38 AM

Re: New LA game for new players sign up now
 
how do you guys feel like playing with mods, personally i like the god mods that give you a lot more options for your pretender

Renojustin April 27th, 2008 05:44 AM

Re: New LA game for new players sign up now
 
Really don't think that LA Ermor is the raging powerhouse a lot of people think it is. With 10x domkill it kills itself off pretty brutally and efficiently now. No gold = no temples or forts, no defense. No temples and forts = less freespawn, and less powerful freespawn.

Just doesn't seem fair; not sure I want to play a game where I couldn't say I was the best player at the end if I won.

hunt11 April 27th, 2008 07:13 AM

Re: New LA game for new players sign up now
 
You make some points their its just that attacking Ermor is almost impossible without major magical support. I would be willing to allow people to play with Ermor if everybody is ok with it, but for obvious reasons nobody will be allowed to use R'lyeh

Nerildar April 27th, 2008 11:16 AM

Re: New LA game for new players sign up now
 
I would like to play as Ulm.

hunt11 April 27th, 2008 03:46 PM

Re: New LA game for new players sign up now
 
ok your in

Hellkor April 27th, 2008 05:51 PM

Re: New LA game for new players sign up now
 
I'm fine with Ermor.

ghostwes April 28th, 2008 03:17 AM

Re: New LA game for new players sign up now
 
Since we are all new players, I would think using mods is a bad idea.

Why are the reasons for not playing with R'lyeah obvious? As a new player, they're certainly not obvious to me. The dominion thing? Is it that unbalanced?

If we are allowing Ermor, I wouldn't mind giving them a go instead of Tien Chi. I have played with them in EA and MA in single player games and like them thematically. Since I don't really know what I am doing, I suspect I won't be too difficult to defeat :-)

Any idea when we will be starting this game?

gowb April 28th, 2008 03:30 AM

Re: New LA game for new players sign up now
 
A good mod is that Worthy Heroes mod, it makes the random heroes you can get much, much better. As it is some nations get almost completely useless ones. And almost every MP game uses it so it wouldn't really be much adjustment for new players.

Goodchild April 28th, 2008 04:34 AM

Re: New LA game for new players sign up now
 
I'd love to take part, as Jomon.

Ossa April 28th, 2008 05:13 AM

Re: New LA game for new players sign up now
 
I'd like to play, but as i have no experience with LA MP nations I'd like to go random.

hunt11 April 28th, 2008 06:40 AM

Re: New LA game for new players sign up now
 
Ossa: you have to chose a nation you can not go random
Gowb: That would be a good mod to use so we will probably use it
Goodchild: Your in
ghostwes: the reason why R'lyeh would be a bad idea is that they are the hardest to actually fight with insanity and all that, and yes you can use Ermor

Hey, I would love to play Marig. if there is still room.

Re: New LA game for new players sign up now
 
Sure just send your god to Ich

Griefor April 28th, 2008 06:46 PM

Re: New LA game for new players sign up now
 
I'd like to join as Caelum... I've done the tutorial and some vs CPU, but no multiplayer yet, ever. I'll get cracking on the pretender file right away, hope that's ok.

hunt11 April 28th, 2008 06:49 PM

Re: New LA game for new players sign up now
 
Ok we now have almost all the spots filled

lch April 28th, 2008 07:01 PM

Re: New LA game for new players sign up now
 
Uhm, a couple of things, hunt11:

You didn't attach the map to your post. But that's not so important because you can't use this map for the game anyway. The file you sent me has 1200 provinces. That's enough for 60-80 players, but way too much for 10-15 players. How long did it take you to generate this thing? Knowing the Dom3 random map generator I wouldn't be surprised if this took several hours.

It's good for showing how flawed the neighbor-finding algorithm in Dom3 is, though. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Unless you want to use a randomly generated map, you could take a look at the Wiki at http://dom3maps.wikidot.com/ to find a good map for this game.

hunt11 April 28th, 2008 07:08 PM

Re: New LA game for new players sign up now
 
It actually only took me about 15 minutes to generate that map and i am working on the new smaller not randomized map as we speak

Dexlyn April 28th, 2008 08:56 PM

Re: New LA game for new players sign up now
 
If it isn't too late, I would like to toss my hate into the arena as Man. I think I've got a decent strategy ready I want to try out.

hunt11 April 29th, 2008 05:47 PM

Re: New LA game for new players sign up now
 
Ich could you post a map because every time i try it does not work, and Dexlyn your in

Dexlyn April 29th, 2008 08:07 PM

Re: New LA game for new players sign up now
 
Alright. Ich, I sent you my God. I'm saying this because I think I am reading your email wrong.

lch April 29th, 2008 08:24 PM

Re: New LA game for new players sign up now
 
It's cool, I got it.

For maps, I'd say we could either use the map Cradle of Dominion which ships with the game, or the map from the Ascendant game: http://www.shrapnelcommunity.com/thr...?Number=595727

They both have good number of provinces for this game.

Vellon April 30th, 2008 12:50 AM

Re: New LA game for new players sign up now
 
I would love to play a game on Cradle of Dominion, one of the nicest looking maps imo.
I just emailed you my pretender for this game Ich.

James243 April 30th, 2008 08:34 AM

Re: New LA game for new players sign up now
 
Hey Ich,

Sorry for being slow - I'll send you my pretender this evening US EST. (so about 12 hours from now)

I'm easy on whatever map.

Thanks!

James.

Re: New LA game for new players sign up now
 
Is there any open position left?
If yes, assign me with a race and I'm in.

hunt11 April 30th, 2008 04:14 PM

Re: New LA game for new players sign up now
 
Sure but you have to pick the race
anyway cradle of dominion would be great to play

MX April 30th, 2008 05:46 PM

Re: New LA game for new players sign up now
 
May I join in as TC?

hunt11 April 30th, 2008 05:54 PM

Re: New LA game for new players sign up now
 
sure, send your pretender to Ich and hopefully this game will start by the weekend

Arghaii April 30th, 2008 06:46 PM
