TheEndofTime - started
 

I'm organizing a LA llamaserver (automated PBEM) game for 10-12 players. We will be using the Worthy Heroes mod.

Victory conditions will be standard, with graphs on and hall of fame of 15.

Nations will be assigned randomly - when you PM or post here to sign up, I will PM you and let you know what nation you will be playing. I find random nations to be refreshing, as players get to try out different nations they may not normally consider playing.

Please post here or PM me to sign up.

Re: The End of Time - LA Random Nation Game
 

I'd like to join this game.

Re: The End of Time - LA Random Nation Game
 

I would love to join as LA Ermor

Re: The End of Time - LA Random Nation Game
 

OH! Random nations. My bad. I'll happily join still though http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif. Sorry about the double post

Re: The End of Time - LA Random Nation Game
 

Well I keep signing up for games that don't actually start, so third time's the charm! I'll have what she's having. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif

Sign me up please.

Re: The End of Time - LA Random Nation Game
 

Given that I have only ever played one MP game, which I lost pretty quickly, is it reasonable for me to join here? If so, I'm in.

Re: The End of Time - LA Random Nation Game
 

I love LA games--there aren't enough of them. Please send me a nation to play.

Re: The End of Time - LA Random Nation Game
 

this on a server or pbem?

Re: The End of Time - LA Random Nation Game
 

still got room? I'd like to play

Re: The End of Time - LA Random Nation Game
 

id like to play if possible

Re: The End of Time - LA Random Nation Game
 

what map are we playing?

Re: The End of Time - LA Random Nation Game
 

Sign meh up

Re: The End of Time - LA Random Nation Game
 

Ok folks. Ten people in, so we will start the game as soon as all pretenders are in. This will be on a random map, with about 15 provinces per person. I will include some water provinces despite the fact that all the nations in the game begin on land (although LA Atlantis and, to some extent, Mictlan, can expand in the water fairly easily).

Re: The End of Time - LA Random Nation Game
 

Hi All

I've been assigned Ermor for this game, and before I start designing my Pretender, can I just ask is everyone happy about Ermor being in the game?

I'm still very much a newb to the whole Dominions MP scene, but reading these forums does tend to leave me with the impression that a lot of people don't like playing against LA Ermor + LA R'lyeh. Some MP games I've seen don't allow them fullstop.

On that basis I'm more than happy to accept another random nation instead of Ermor, (besides R'lyeh (for same reasons)) if that will help everyone enjoy the game more. We're all here to have fun and make (out of game) friends after all :-)

Happy to go with the general consensus, and not worried about the enemy of all tag that comes with the territory as Ermor. But if one or two do think strongly that Ermor shouldn't be allowed, then it might be better if I was just assigned another random so that all the players are happy and eager to play :-)

Just me two cents worth, and thanks in advance for any views and responses on this.

Happy Gaming to All :-)

Re: The End of Time - LA Random Nation Game
 

I do not care that you play Ermor... they are potentiallh quite strong, but that generally will be balanced by the fact that everyone around you wanrs to kill you.

Re: The End of Time - LA Random Nation Game
 

I'd prefer not to see LA Ermor ever again. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif But I didn't join this game expecting them to absolutely not be included, so I hardly think I will make a fuss. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif

Re: The End of Time - LA Random Nation Game
 

I'm happy with Ermor being in the game.

I'll be sending my Pretender soon, by the way.

Re: The End of Time - LA Random Nation Game
 

Anyone who would complain about Ermor being in the game is simply too late. It is clearly stated that we're playing LA with random nations and it doesn't state that any nations are excluded from this draw.

Re: The End of Time - LA Random Nation Game
 

I'm happy to see LA Ermor in the game...It's hardly LA without either R'lyeh or Ermor to ruin everyones fun.

Re: The End of Time - LA Random Nation Game
 

Do try to get your pretenders in... i'd like to see the game started by Friday.

Re: The End of Time - LA Random Nation Game
 

Thanks for all the views on Ermor. Much appreciated.

Seems like LA Ermor isn't the most hated nation after all, as that tag now seems to belong firmly to LA R'lyeh :-)

Hope to send my Pretender in tonight (UK time) if I get chance, if not, then tommorow for definate.

Re: The End of Time - LA Random Nation Game
 

The game has started, everyone. Good luck.

The first turn is due in 48 hours, after which we will move to a 24 hour quickhost.

I ended up going with the Cradle of Dominions Map. Should be plenty of room for everyone.

Re: The End of Time - LA Random Nation Game
 

let's just hope i don't get a faith decreasing event on the 2nd turn as LA Mictlan! Please tell me that would call for a rehost of that turn if it should happen as there is absolutely nothing I can do to prevent it http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif

Re: The End of Time - LA Random Nation Game
 

All

I'm having problems with the new 3.17 patch, as it seems to have a personal vendetta against my aging computer, and won't stop crashing it.

Up-shot is that I can't access the turn files from llamaserver now, as that's been upgraded to 3.17.

So should I try to find a temp / permanent sub? Don't want to ask for a delay, since I can't guarantee when I'll fix my 3.17 problems. I could stall a few turns, but if the hosting is set for 24rs, I'd probably take too much of a hit.

Re: The End of Time - LA Random Nation Game
 

when i try to upload the turn nothing happened

Re: The End of Time - LA Random Nation Game
 

Calahan if you have not tried it already, I suggest uninstalling the game, reinstalling and then patching to 3.17 from an earlier version.

Hunt your turns probably won't upload because you have not downloaded the new patch.

Re: The End of Time - LA Random Nation Game
 

but thats the problem i have downloaded the new patch

Re: The End of Time - LA Random Nation Game
 

Hunt, sometimes the llamaserver stops recognizing an email address for some reason (happened with my hotmail). If you can provide an alternative email address, i will switch you over to that. You can then try to send the turn in. PM me with your other email.

Re: The End of Time - LA Random Nation Game
 

never mind i got it to work now

Re: The End of Time - LA Random Nation Game
 

All

I have started looking for a sub for a couple of turns so that I can get my problems sorted with the new 3.17 patch.

Is it possible to request a 24hr delay of the current turn in order to get a sub installed?

If not then no worries. Ermor will still get some freespawn on a stalled go :-)

And sorry about the hold up. Never had any problems with any of the the previous patches, but guess it's sods law I'd have them now, just as I'm taking my first steps into the MP world :-(

Re: The End of Time - LA Random Nation Game
 

I recommend we pause until we can either find a sub for Ermor or he can get his computer to work with the patch...The first couple turns are pretty important and I'd hate to see him stall through them.

Re: The End of Time - LA Random Nation Game
 

Micah has agreed to temporarily sub for Calahan. Hopefully Calahan can fix the problem.

Re: The End of Time - LA Random Nation Game
 

Hi Everyone

Glad to hear you've managed to find a sub for me :-) Sorry for any trouble I've caused with the stalled turns.

On the plus side, I've located the problem I was having with the 3.17 patch. My video card. It's been a faithful old servant for 5 years, but it died on me yesterday while I was trying to rollback ATi drivers and/or Windows XP Service Packs. Guessing there must have been a conflict somewhere between XP SP3, Dom 3.17, and the ATi drivers, which it just couldn't handle.

Anyway, ordered a new video card on-line from work this morning. With a bit of luck it should arrive by the weekend, allowing me to resume the game (unless Micah is having too much fun :-))

johnarryn - Thanks for sorting out the sub and your general helpfulness.
Micah - Thanks for subbing me.
All Others - Thanks for putting up with my computer problems.

Calahan

Re: The End of Time - LA Random Nation Game
 

hi guys, i am really sorry about this but i need to sub out, i have really difficulty with uploading the turns, so to make the game flow quicker i am going to find somebody to sub for me if that is okay

Re: The End of Time - LA Random Nation Game
 

Should we set Pangea to AI? or just leave it in its single province glory for someone to take over as a bonus.

Re: The End of Time - LA Random Nation Game
 

If we are just going to leave it there, can we atleast host the game? He's staled 3 turns- I'm not sure someone will be too keen to want to sub this early into the game after 3 stales in a row.

Re: The End of Time - LA Random Nation Game
 

I actually have already found a sub, who will be taking the turn shortly.

Re: The End of Time - LA Random Nation Game
 

It's very, very bleak http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif

Re: The End of Time - LA Random Nation Game
 

Sorry about that =)

Re: The End of Time - LA Random Nation Game
 

It's the combination of Turmoil, Misfortune & Sloth with not really the sort of bless I was hoping for http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif

It looks like no turns have been taken after the first. As there were only three leaders and few extra troops in the capital. Then some disasters have obviously befallen the Capital as it had 40 unrest! So no money store either http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif

I wonder what my Pretender will be? Should I ever get to see him/her/it http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/biggrin.gif

Edit: Perhaps its me though. I am not really familiar with LA Pangea. Maybe it will all make sense later on. Morale 8 on everything http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/eek.gif How can I expand with that http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/smile.gif No wonder he never left the capital....

Re: The End of Time - LA Random Nation Game
 

Turmoil + Misfortune? Egad, I hope your pretender is amazing. If you have never played LA Pangea it can be somewhat cool to go down the enchantment tree and pick up some of your unique summons (Carrion centaurs, Carrion lady's, Carrion Lords) they can use the reanimation ability which does not cost you anything and makes manikins which have sleep vines that are quite effective against SC's. (The most costly summons are able to reanimate more powerful manikins...I think it's based on their priest level. When I play LA Pangea I usually make my first Carrion Centaur my prophet so he can make some sweet manikins) It might not be the best strategy but it is fun to have large manikin armies.

Re: The End of Time - LA Random Nation Game
 

Well hopefully I will have some fun trying out different things.

And hopefully the Pretender is asleep rather than imprisoned. I really need him, even if 'he' turns out to be a Crone http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/smile.gif rather than a nice SC....

Re: TheEndofTime - started
 

Mmmm, I'm leaving for a day. Depending on what time I get back tomorrow and what time turn 10 hosts, I may be too late for turn 11. Is it possible to delay turn 11 until midnight GMT on Sunday please?

Re: TheEndofTime - started
 

A delay will not be a problem.

Re: TheEndofTime - started
 

By royal decree, the unholy state of Jomon is declared an enemy to the people of great Marignon, and to the holy flame itself.

The church has authorized a bounty of 50 pounds of gold for every province taken and held from the scoundrel aggressors, and 100 pounds of gold for the destruction of their heretic false god.

~This notice bears the seal of his eminence, Divine Inquisitor Torquemada~

Re: TheEndofTime - started
 

Geez, how's this for piss-poor luck; my lab in my home province just burned down :/

Re: TheEndofTime - started
 

But on a brighter note- my uber blessed sacreds are tearing stuff up! (for now http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif)

Re: TheEndofTime - started
 

Well I actually managed to afford a mage for the first time in three turns (much of my capitals population has decamped to foreign parts - got to love Misfortune and turmoil scales). An extra 3 research a turn! Tartarians here I come http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif

Atlantis is in the market for a charcoal shield or an eye shield. Get in touch with me and we can hammer out a trade.
