NEW EA GAME - Server Is Up. Game has started.
 

Mods: Worthy Heros.
Map: Random, Large. See attachment
Victory: VP. Each cap is 1. 8
for the win.
Independents: 7
Graphs: Off
Server IP: 74.236.0.134 port 1224
Stales: After 2 stales subs or AI will be sought.

Exploits: 1. If you capture Bogus and his friends, you can script those captured units to attack mages, but you cannot copy their "attack mage" orders to any other commanders or units.

2. You cannot cast battlefield enchantments that cause damage to enemy units, then retreat the casting mage before 5 rounds of combat passes. In other words, if you cast Wrathful Skies, you cannot order that mage to retreat before 5 turns has passed (your last available scripting order can be retreat). And this rule includes items that cast such spells.

3. You cannot overload someone’s lab with the purpose of maliciously filling it so they cannot receive or forge items.

4. Items that provide an unspecified armor bonus (such as bracers and some helms) will stack earth blessings, incorrectly.

To ban these items from people with earth blesses is unfair. To have others fighting SC's with prots of 38 is also unfair.

Proposed: Anyone with an earth blessing may have one item per SC that provides an unspecified armor bonus.

This will essentially give them +4 or so armor bonus from the bug, but limit it to one free bonus.

5. Guys, I can't police all the possible exploits. Play fair!

Standard Otherwise

Looking for 24 hour turn arounds, for first 40 turns or so, liberal delays if requested.

We are at 15 players. Game has started. Just finished creating the script files. I'm new to hosting so please bear with me if there are a few kinks in the process.

Re: NEW EA GAME - sign up please
 

sure I would like to play as Abysia

Re: NEW EA GAME - sign up please
 

Sign me in as Caelum.

EDIT: I think it would be a good idea to define the exploits a bit more clearly.

Re: NEW EA GAME - sign up please
 

I'd like to play Lanka.

'server hosted' means we'll ask to use e.g. the llamasever?

Re: NEW EA GAME - sign up please
 

I'd like to play as Sauromatia.

Re: NEW EA GAME - sign up please
 

hmm I want in, I'm not that familiar with EA though only tien chi, niefelheim and lanka really .. lanka is taken and I didn't care much for Tien

so I'd like Niefelheim.

I'll look into EA more and maybe chance to whatever is free but ... so far let's make it Niefelheim

Re: NEW EA GAME - sign up please
 

I need a few days to play the race to see what pretender I need though, without a guide out I'll need to look into more options so I'll really have to play more than only the few first turns I usually do.

When will the game start aprox?

Re: NEW EA GAME - sign up please
 

Aezeal, wasn't chrispederson looking to play Hinnom?

Re: NEW EA GAME - sign up please
 

ow right the new race... completely missed that

well pretender design for that nation isn't all that easy anyway so a nice double bless doesn't go well with the O3 P3 I'd like. And then B highish for the lords.

I'm gonna kill him before he can release lords of civilization though

Re: NEW EA GAME - sign up please
 

I'll take ea Ulm. If there's still a opening.

Re: NEW EA GAME - sign up please
 

Helheim, please.

Re: NEW EA GAME - sign up please
 

If you're going to host it on an IP server, I would recommend Velusion's. He had a really great system that sends out e-mails when the turns are complete.

Re: NEW EA GAME - sign up please
 

Um, there is a guide to EA Niefelheim, as well as a lot of commentary, for example by Dr. P.

I'm looking to start ASAP: No one (me included) really knows anything about the new races either = ). Sooo I think as soon as we get 15 people.

I'd like to shoot for Sunday start, at the latest.

Re: NEW EA GAME - sign up please
 

still got room?

Re: NEW EA GAME - sign up please
 

if there's still room can i take Mictlan?

Re: NEW EA GAME - sign up please
 

Sign me up for Fomoria if you would, my good man.

Re: NEW EA GAME - sign up please
 

well..since hinmon, helheim, and niefelheim are ALL taken:P I'll take arcosaphele!

Re: NEW EA GAME - sign up please
 

i can tell you that new Hinmon race has some crazy good SC potential commanders...

Sacred Giants with holy 1 (self blessable) with like 50+ hp's and 18 pro/def and good stats...crazy!

Re: NEW EA GAME - sign up please
 

I'll take Pangea if you still have room.

Jazzepi

Re: NEW EA GAME - sign up please
 

my weekend is kinda full there will not be a ready pretender this weekend.

Re: NEW EA GAME - sign up please
 

still got room? If so Ill take Marverni http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: NEW EA GAME - sign up please
 

hi i would like tir. Bwaha http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: NEW EA GAME - sign up please
 

Oops. I only play PBEM. So that means Lanka is free to take again.

Re: NEW EA GAME - sign up please
 

I'm in no mistakes about that plz

Re: NEW EA GAME - sign up please
 

Umm, has anyone actually asked Velusion if he willing to host this?

Re: NEW EA GAME - sign up please
 

Hey Ling;
No, I'm waiting on consensus on the players PBEM or Server.
I promised to ask velusion. If not I will host.

Re: NEW EA GAME - sign up please
 

Either works for me

Re: NEW EA GAME - sign up please
 

I'd prefer server but either way is fine

Re: NEW EA GAME - sign up please
 

I'll play some nation if Velusion hosts. I don't generally play PBEM. I'll keep any eye on this thread.

Re: NEW EA GAME - sign up please
 

I'd prefer a server though I'll play either way.

Re: NEW EA GAME - sign up please
 

Aye server is much simpler for me as well but i can do either now that I learned how PBEM works:P

Re: NEW EA GAME - sign up please
 

If you have room, I'll take Vanheim. Thanks.

Re: NEW EA GAME - sign up please
 

I'm interested too as long as you don't mind playing with a n00b. I've only played one MP game and a few offline games. I'd also vote for server based host rather than PBEM.

Re: NEW EA GAME - sign up please
 

you can also ask ich for a host non PBEM... he said he's always willing .. his thingie is down though http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

I prefer non PBEM though since I don't have one atm and it plays so easily

Re: NEW EA GAME - sign up please
 

Charsep,
new players are fine.. but you need to indicate a race = ).

Re: NEW EA GAME - sign up please
 

This means Parcelt is out?

Re: NEW EA GAME - sign up please
 

Thanks.

I don't know the races well enough to pick so just sign me up for whatever is available.

Re: NEW EA GAME - sign up please
 

I will be Tan no Org
If it is open

Re: NEW EA GAME - sign up please
 

Hey guys,

I think I have scripts worked out, to allow game backup, notifications, and perhaps statuses worked out, with many thanks to Velusion and Ich.

However, there may be some down time while I work out the kinks. Please bear with me.

I will try installing these things at Midnight EST. I will stop working by 2 AM EST.

Chris

Re: NEW EA GAME - sign up please
 

where do we send our pretenders, chris?

Re: NEW EA GAME - sign up please
 

Send pretenders to my dominions username@hotmail.com

Re: NEW EA GAME - sign up please
 

Looking forward to starting this one. Everyone should get a pretenderr ready so we can start quick.

Re: NEW EA GAME - sign up please
 

Is Vanheim available? I think that's what they're called.

Re: NEW EA GAME - sign up please
 

I keep the first post updated, with who has what.
Waiting on pretenders = )

Re: NEW EA GAME - sign up please
 

OK do we need to send today or are we still filling up and can I also send my pretender tomorrow? I really could use the extra day.

Re: NEW EA GAME - sign up please
 

I thought this was a Server game

Re: NEW EA GAME - sign up please
 

I will take lanka if there is still room and it is a network game

Re: NEW EA GAME - sign up please
 

Hey fiction:

It is (and will be) a server game. However, I'm new to setting up servers for MP games. The only other game I'm hosting, ICH sent me all the pretender files - so since I"m new to this, I'd rather just stay with what worked.

My username is chrispedersen. The domain is Hotmail.com. Please send the pretender files there, as there has been some confusion.

Finally, yes, the deadline for pretenders is 9pm EST tonight, after which I will set up the server. Many people have been chafing at the bit to get this started - so if we get 12 people by that time, its going with whatever 12 we get.

As of 4pm we are at 6/12... looking good for 9pm setup.

i tried to send you my god but it send it was an invalid address
