New MA game (PBEM) -- Tigerstripes (in progress)
 

New MA game, settings & map totally negotiable (you all seem pretty easy-going), any experience level. Myself, I have played many hours of single player, but I know that's never quite like multi-player. So newbies are cool, but I have absolutely no problem with playing with very experienced players as well.

Feel free to nudge me however you deem necessary, since I haven't hosted/admin'd a game before.

Settings decided thus far:
Inde strength: 7
No score graphs (although I think they're fun:))

Player: nation roster: 10 players;
Anticipatient: Jotunheim;
DryaUnda: Ulm;
Secretperson: T'ien Ch'i;
veto: R'Lyeh;
don_Pablo: Eriu;
Staneth: Arcosephale;
alhorro: Mictian;
Executor: C'tis;
ThatGuyBob: Agartha;
Sleet: Machaka;
chrispedersen: Ashdod

Re: New MA game
 

If you would like to use my PBEM server you would be very welcome.

Re: New MA game
 

I'd like to be in as Ulm, just to see what it's capable of.

Re: New MA game
 

Conventional wisdom is the organizer of the game gets first pick in race selection, anticipatient. Be quick and make use of the privilege before your favorite races are taken. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: New MA game
 

i'd like to play as bandar log

Re: New MA game
 

Yes llama, I'd love to use your server (I think), thanks! Are MP games typically played PBEM? Please excuse my ignorance.

Re: New MA game
 

I'd like to join as R'Lieh (or may play as Tien-Chi)

Map - any) as for me -no mods, no graphs, indy 7 and all other set to default is good enough)

Re: New MA game
 

I'm in as Eriu.
As for map - Veto +1 =0)

Re: New MA game
 

Total newbie here. I've been experimenting in SP but this will be my first try at MP. I'd like Arco.

No preferences right now as to settings.

Re: New MA game
 

To other newbies: make sure you experiment in single player using Indy strength 7. It's a little different than the default http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: New MA game
 

don't worry
some of us always plays with indy7 in SP or hotseat MP http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Re: New MA game
 

Okay, I'm going to play Man, I suppose.

Re: New MA game
 

I don't understand this post, Pablo. "As for map, veto +1 = 0"

Clarification? Looks like veto (person) edited his post, so I don't know if I'm missing context.

Re: New MA game
 

MP games are sometimes played via PBEM. They are also played via a network server. I prefer a network server (sorry llama), but PBEM games are also quite viable. Llamabeast's PBEM server is very nice.

Re: New MA game
 

Map thoughts: I have a modified, fairly balanced version of Parganos which is good for 8 players. Cradle of Dominion is good for maybe 12-16.

Re: New MA game
 

In as Mictlan.

Re: New MA game
 

I mean I agree with Veto about game settings.

=0) is a smile

Re: New MA game
 

As for map - I trust Llamabeast)))

Re: New MA game
 

I'm in as Pyhtium, if its free, if not then I'll take C'tis.

Re: New MA game
 

Well there are lots and lots of other choices (see the map list in the mods and maps subforum, and dom3maps.wikidot.com ), I just thought I would mention a couple that came to mind.

Re: New MA game
 

Lingchih, I played a couple games set up from irc.net #dominions -- is that where you go for matchmaking and whatnot, or do you know enough people who play that you don't have to?

I am up for an 8 player game of your modified Paraganos map. Should we play with CBM?

Re: New MA game
 

I think Lingchih just means network games organised here. Games here are either network or PBEM games. Both have advantages.

When you are ready to have people send pretenders in let me know what you want the game called, and I will set it up.

Re: New MA game
 

We'll close the rosters in 18 hours (9:45 PM GMT -08). We will pick a map suited to the number of players we have at that point.

Re: New MA game
 

I'd like Agartha if there is still room.

Re: New MA game
 

yep, you can have agartha

Re: New MA game
 

Heya, if a spot is still open I will play Machaka.
Thanks,
Sleet http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: New MA game
 

sleet (steelsleet?) has machaka. im changing to jotunheim.

Re: New MA game
 

Three more minutes till registration closes!

Re: New MA game
 

Okay, 10 players. Map preferences?

Re: New MA game
 

may be random?)

Re: New MA game
 

I'm going to work on a random map. I like cradle of dominions a lot, but to be honest, I'm concerned that R'yleh will have a sizable advantage on that map. I am a new player, but it seems to be a very powerful nation, and to be the only unchallenged underwater nation at the same time, particularly on this map . . . I'd like to hear what more experienced players have to say.

Having said that, if nobody really cares, I really do like cradle of dominions, so we could just play that anyway. Life doesn't have to be fair, and neither do games http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

You guys want to play with CBM?

Re: New MA game
 

Random or Cradle is fine by me.

CBM is a good mod too so I am okay with that.

http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: New MA game
 

Cradle is a good map and I'm fine with it, what is CBM?

Re: New MA game
 

I would also be inclined to be concerned about R'lyeh on Cradle. They would have a lot of space. Generally there should be slightly fewer water provinces per water race than there are land provinces per land race, since it's easier for water races to expand to land than vice versa.

Re: New MA game
 

Conceptual Balance Mod

Details here:
CBM Mod
http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/biggrin.gif

Re: New MA game
 

As for me - without CBM)
But let's vote?
I'm against)

Re: New MA game
 

Alright, I'll sit out of the vote. I'm working on a random map, too, but I could play Oceania to balance out Cradle. Although that might just give R'yleh two capitals http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: New MA game
 

Please begin to upload your pretenders.

Re: New MA game
 

Right, I have this mode, sorry just didn't realise what it was...

Re: New MA game
 

So do we play with CBM or without it?
I prefer without..

Re: New MA game
 

What's the game's name? Every pretender uploaded to Llamaserver needs to have the game's name in the subject.

Re: New MA game
 

Game name Tigerstripes

Do I need to get llama to create this for me? I apologize for my cumbersome lack of admin experience

Re: New MA game
 

I've created my pretender with CBM, so do I upload, or do I plan a new strategy if we aren't using CBM.
As for me, I would REALLY prefer we played with CBM.

Re: New MA game
 

I was wondering if somebody could advise me about a game I'm playing, If everybody just stops playing, and don't respond to PM's or anything, what do you do???

Re: New MA game
 

I prefer (and no need to stress:) to play without it/ but can play any variant/
So - let the host say - CBM or not. and we will upload pretenders)

Re: New MA game
 

to Executor
wait for some time) or change game)))
Good luck finding your missed opponents)))

Re: New MA game
 

Do you think I can switch to T'ien Ch'i instead of Bandar Log?

Re: New MA game
 

Yes I'll switch you to T'ien Ch'i. I don't see any reason not to. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Let's go ahead and stay vanilla for this game (no cbm).

Re: New MA game
 

Game name is Tigerstripes, no CBM. Updated roster is in the first post.

Please upload your pretenders to llamasever.

Re: New MA game
 

Pretender emailed.

Good game all! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif
