Is this still open, i'm new to this whole multiplayer scene, but i'd like to play.

Re: New LA game for new players sign up now
 

yes it is still open just chose the race you would like to play and start preparing your god

Re: New LA game for new players sign up now
 

Alright cool, i'd like to be Man.

Re: New LA game for new players sign up now
 

Ok your in now

Re: New LA game for new players sign up now
 

Actually I'd rather have Arcoscephale as my pick.

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.

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
 

Sounds fun - Mictlan please!

Re: New LA game for new players sign up now
 

hahaha James PS Karlems strat isn't even the nasties I've seen..

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?

Re: New LA game for new players sign up now
 

I am in as Pangaea!

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?

Re: New LA game for new players sign up now
 

Yes you can play secretperson though you are pushing the limit a little bit

Re: New LA game for new players sign up now
 

I'd like to play as C'tis then please

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

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.

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

Re: New LA game for new players sign up now
 

I would like to play as Ulm.

Re: New LA game for new players sign up now
 

ok your in

Re: New LA game for new players sign up now
 

I'm fine with Ermor.

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?

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.

Re: New LA game for new players sign up now
 

I'd love to take part, as Jomon.

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.

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

Re: New LA game for new players sign up now
 

Here's the map guys

Re: New LA game for new players sign up now
 

Please send your pretender files for this game to:

Make sure to set a password for your pretender!

hunt11, please remove my email address from your post.

Re: New LA game for new players sign up now
 

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

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.

Re: New LA game for new players sign up now
 

Ok we now have almost all the spots filled

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

Re: New LA game for new players sign up now
 

May I join in as TC?

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

Re: New LA game for new players sign up now
 

I will take LA Abysia.

Will send the pretender as soon as possible.

Re: New LA game for new players sign up now
 

ok your in. Ich do you have everybody's pretenders

Re: New LA game for new players sign up now
 

Just sent my pretender.

Re: New LA game for new players sign up now

Re: New LA game for new players sign up now
