Re: Beer game! EA - Signups!
 

i'll rock out with Kailasa

Re: Beer game! EA - Signups!
 

I'm all for llama hosting this, I'm currently playing another game hosted by him and it's working out great so far.

Re: Beer game! EA - Signups!
 

I think the Llama host is great. The server updates every 5 minutes and works like a charm.

Re: Beer game! EA - Signups!
 

I want pangaea please!!!

Re: Beer game! EA - Signups!
 

i like Arco plz

Re: Beer game! EA - Signups!
 

Can I be Tir na n'og?
I like llama

Re: Beer game! EA - Signups!
 

I would like to play, but only if it is a network game.

I really hate the pbm downloading and uploading a turn every turn. With network i just hit hit shortcut. Much easier to see if a turn is ready too. Hardly any network games anymore.

Re: Beer game! EA - Signups!
 

Lanka, please.

Re: Beer game! EA - Signups!
 

Id prefer llamaserver but am willing to go either way.

Re: Beer game! EA - Signups!
 

Hi, Llama is the best I've seen. I like his set up very much, Thanks LLama. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/biggrin.gif Bwaha

Re: Beer game! EA - Signups!
 

If there's still room, I could play Caelum.

Re: Beer game! EA - Signups!
 

I'll try Arcoscephale if your still open....

Re: Beer game! EA - Signups!
 

Also Can someone tell me where to get Worthy Heroes so I can D/L it?

Re: Beer game! EA - Signups!
 

i like PBEM and llamaserver, personally. so that's fine by me.

Re: Beer game! EA - Signups!
 

Hey Grudge, someone spoke for arco already. I am happy to have you join us, but check the first post for an available nation!

chris

Re: Beer game! EA - Signups!
 

i'd actually say that the game closed with coobe picking arco, as that put it at 15; but you're the host so i'll leave you to make that call.

Re: Beer game! EA - Signups!
 

You're absolutely right Omni - and if anyone objects I will close the game at 15. However, I hate to leave players who wanted to play out of the game. So if no one objects, I'll let a grudge and a few last minute people on.

See also the first posting.

Re: Beer game! EA - Signups!
 

Umm... just fyi - your victory condition is so high as to make it moot.

Re: Beer game! EA - Signups!
 

9/15 is too high?

Re: Beer game! EA - Signups!
 

Looking for another water nation? I can play R'yleh...

Re: Beer game! EA - Signups!
 

I will back out but Thanks thogh.

I am pretty new and really only know a couple of nations and I also do not have Worthy Heroes Mod (does anyone know where I can get it).

I will play a few more nations and play the next one.

I appreciate your keeping it open for me but if you have 15 that is probably big enough.

Thanks agian

Re: Beer game! EA - Signups!
 

Think so, yeah. Its a tricky thing to balance because VPs (especially cap-vps!) are SO hard to capture. If you put the number of VPs too high, you make them moot because in order to get that many the player in question is so powerful that everyone would likely just concede before then anyway. The key is to find the sweet spot where you have just high enough VPs too keep anyone from winning by surprise, but to still keep it low enough that a bold player can pull off a win with a determined attempt (which prevents the game from dragging on forever).

IME, I've found that 40% or so is a good cutoff for VPs. However, I'm not playing in this game so I dont have a say in how you set your game up. I just wanted to point it out.

Re: Beer game! EA - Signups!
 

I appreciate the feed back. So I have changed it to 6 held for three turns!

Re: Beer game! EA - Signups!
 

EDIT: forget it. I'll just jump out of this game. good luck.

Re: Beer game! EA - Signups!
 

I'd vote for netwok game. I have never had any problems with llamaserver. It's very consistent and dependable. I'm just lazy and I don't like the few extra steps involved.

Re: Beer game! EA - Signups!
 

Llama server is great! Let's use it. And I totally don't mind having more than 15 players! Omni, you shouldn't leave the game http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif I want to play with you!

Re: Beer game! EA - Signups!
 

I would go for more cities needed (50% is good) but no holding time. Its really really difficult to take back any city in this 3 turns (and nearly impossible in 1). Good players use teleport/cloud trapeze to defend stormable cities very effecitve.

Keeping VPs for some turns make only sence if you play with non-capital VPs. So some are still unfortified in late game and this one have to keep for 3 turns.

Re: Beer game! EA - Signups!
 

Since I presume Mist of Deception is banned in this game, maybe we should also use Twan's MoD mod (in addition to Worthy Heroes) so air nations won't completely lose one of their very few late game spells. What do you think?

-Zenzei, God of Caelum http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Re: Beer game! EA - Signups!
 

How about we try allowing MoD?

Re: Beer game! EA - Signups!
 

Might be something broke on my end, but the Worthy Hero's mod is empty when I downloaded it.

Any other good locations to d/l it.

Re: Beer game! EA - Signups!
 

I certainly won't object this, heh.
But I really think we need every players approval for said spell if we're going allow it into game without fix, for without such an agreement hair splitting and sour feelings are 100% quaranteered when someone uses MoD for the first time.

In case we can't let MoD to stay as is, Twan's fix would be nice to have as I suggested above.

EDIT: Caelum pretender is already made and ready to roll even though the game itself is not yet on Llamaserver. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Beer game! EA - Signups!
 

Please explain MoD mod. Thanks, great choice of map as well.

Re: Beer game! EA - Signups!
 

I'd be fine using MoD mod.

I don't know how mists of deception works (I forget), Bwaha, but it's basically a very exploitable spell that lets one or two mages kill lots lots more troops than they worth over and over again http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

Re: Beer game! EA - Signups!
 

I would also want to know what MoD mod does and where can I get it. Im not against it tough. And nice map by the way.

Re: Beer game! EA - Signups!
 

I know of what ummodified MoD does, whats the fix?

Re: Beer game! EA - Signups!
 

i forget what the fix is ;D but it makes it not work quite as ruinously
