DeadlyMedley - running
 

Because it's so hard to snag Mictlan in EA games, I've decided to start my own. llammabeast has graciously agreed to host on his server.

Map: Cradle of Dominions
Mods: None
Players: 12
Player level: Intermediate to Advanced
Graphs: On
Hall of Fame: 15
Turnaround: 24 hours for the first 10 turns. After that we'll play it by ear.
Victory Conditions: By victory points. Each capital is worth one. Must hold any 6 simultaneously to win, or by concession.

Let's agree to some ground rules. NAPS should be honored both in letter and in spirit. No sneaky spells attacking NAP partners. No exploits or cheats. So on, so forth.

1. Mictlan ...Ubercat
2. Caelum....Tyrant
3. Hinnom....Ossa
4. Ulm.....Heinrich
5. Tir na n'Nog..Fal ???
6. Helheim..archaeolept
7. R'lyeh...sansanjuan
8.
9. Abysia.....Dragar ???
10. Tien'Chi..Juffos ???
11. Vanheim...StrictlyRockers
12. Sauromatia...jimkehn

Arcosephale? WTF??

Re: New EA game: DeadlyMedley
 

Caelum please.

Re: New EA game: DeadlyMedley
 

Hinnom for me please

Re: New EA game: DeadlyMedley
 

Count me in with Ulm please.

Re: New EA game: DeadlyMedley

Re: New EA game: DeadlyMedley
 

bump

Re: New EA game: DeadlyMedley
 

I will play Ermor, I am still new at the MP thing, but have played a ton of SP. If someone with more experience wants in, feel free to bump me.

Re: New EA game: DeadlyMedley
 

You are welcome as far as I am concerned, newb or not. I hope that if you are crushed by someone more experienced than you, then they will give you tips on how they did it and how to improve your strategy.

Re: New EA game: DeadlyMedley
 

hehe... I am getting a lesson like that in a MP game right now. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Re: New EA game: DeadlyMedley
 

Uber,
I'm a rookie but would like to give R'lyeh a spin if that is ok. I was going to skip summer play of Dom3 but your game beckons...
-SSJ

Edit: Would this be Cradle with Edi's fixes?

Re: New EA game: DeadlyMedley
 

I believe that the map has been corrected as of 3.17. I had to install the game on a new PC when the old one died and I noticed that the map was good from the getgo.

Re: New EA game: DeadlyMedley
 

I'll take Nief

Re: New EA game: DeadlyMedley
 

bleh...

start a cbm game and im in http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif

Re: New EA game: DeadlyMedley
 

Sorry. I've never used the CBM before so I'm not about to learn the details in an MP game. I get the impression that there isn't a consolidated, reliable, up to date version of it right now anyway, so I'm hesitant to mess with it in SP either.

Re: New EA game: DeadlyMedley
 

cbm > vanilla

(but everybody has to find that out for themselves of course ^^)

there is an up to date version btw

Re: New EA game: DeadlyMedley
 

I figured it was better. Problem is, AFAICT, there isn't a complete version of it which matches 3.17. When that changes I'll play a few SP games to get used to it. Then I'll probably either join or start an MP game which incorporates it.

As for now, as I stated, I'm not going to figure it out from scratch in an MP game.

Re: New EA game: DeadlyMedley
 

yes there is ^^

version 1.3 is pretty dang new in fact (released on the 17th if im not mistaken)

but i understand not wanting to switch in game. thats why i wont play vanilla in amp ^^

Re: New EA game: DeadlyMedley
 

Abysia please

Re: New EA game: DeadlyMedley
 

CBM downloaded. Thanks for letting me know I was wrong about it.

Re: New EA game: DeadlyMedley
 

I would like to join as Tien'Chi.

Re: New EA game: DeadlyMedley
 

Ten's ok with me.

Re: New EA game: DeadlyMedley
 

I don't want the game to be crowded or anything, but I've used this map a lot and ten is pretty slim.

edit: Let's give it two days and see if we fill up. If no one else joins, we'll start with what we have.

Re: New EA game: DeadlyMedley
 

Uber- are we using CBM then?
-SSJ

Re: New EA game: DeadlyMedley
 

No to the CBM. I'll probably use it in the next game I start, but I'm not prepared to use it in this one.

Re: New EA game: DeadlyMedley
 

I'll take vanheim, please.

Re: New EA game: DeadlyMedley
 

Uber.....if you will let me in, I will play Sauromatia again!!! ;-)

Re: New EA game: DeadlyMedley
 

Game is full now? Time to send in pretenders?

Re: New EA game: DeadlyMedley
 

All right. We got our 12 and are full. I will PM llamma and ask him to set it up.

Re: New EA game: DeadlyMedley
 

Game is prepared. We can Email our pretenders to the llammaserver now. pretenders[AT]llamaserver.net, with DeadlyMedley as the title.

Can someone please tell me how to change the title of this thread?

Re: New EA game: DeadlyMedley
 

Um, edit the first post.

How did you find the game creation process?

Re: New EA game: DeadlyMedley
 

It went very smoothly. Thanks!

Re: New EA game: DeadlyMedley
 

Tir na n'Og god sent

Re: New EA game: DeadlyMedley
 

Sauromatia sent.

Re: New EA game: DeadlyMedley
 

Bump. Need 4 more pretenders.

Re: New EA game: DeadlyMedley
 

Am I being too impatient??? I would just like to start. 8 players isn't so bad. In fact sometimes the game just go faster with fewer players.

Of course....this has nothing to do with just getting annihilated in Dark Paradise.

Re: New EA game: DeadlyMedley
 

Let's give them another day. Tomorrow night we'll go with what we have..... You and me both in DP. I don't have a chance either.

Re: New EA game: DeadlyMedley
 

I'm not a bit impatient. Tap tap tap tap tap....

Re: New EA game: DeadlyMedley
 

Yeah, Uber. Kinda the same song, second verse with you as Mictlan and me as Sauromatia.

Re: New EA game: DeadlyMedley
 

You should take my sig to heart. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/biggrin.gif

Re: New EA game: DeadlyMedley
 

I recommend PMing the missing people. Often people just don't notice their game is open to pretenders at last.

Re: New EA game: DeadlyMedley
 

WIll send in a few min

Re: New EA game: DeadlyMedley
 

Good idea. NOW I have to go get ready for work and don't have time. Is anyone else willing to do this? I won't be back till after 8PM eastern, tonight.

It seems a long shot, come to think of it. If they'd checked the forum in the last 2 days they'd see that the post had new entries and a new title. Plus, if they don't check the forum, they won't get any PM's anyway.

Re: New EA game: DeadlyMedley
 

It often works, promise.

Plus, some people (like me) have an e-mail sent to them when they receive a PM.

Re: New EA game: DeadlyMedley
 

Ok. I'm back and no one stepped up to the bat apparently, so I'll figure out who needs PM's and send them out. We'll start in the morning, then, one way or another.

Re: New EA game: DeadlyMedley
 

I just sent you a PM. I sent it before I remembered this post of yours. Your pretender never made it to the server.

Re: New EA game: DeadlyMedley
 

Game started.

Re: New EA game: DeadlyMedley
 

R'lyeh cheated.... I'm assuming that sansanjuan accidentally sent in a CBM pretender anyway. He may find it to be crippled by the game as a result.

I also noticed that we have 4-5 players crowded together up in the northwest corner of the map.

I like my starting position very much, but if people want to restart, I'll understand.

Re: New EA game: DeadlyMedley
 

If you restart, I recommend using one of the versions of Cradle with fixed start positions.

Re: New EA game: DeadlyMedley
 

Hmmm. Cheating is not among my vices http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/confused.gif . When I sent my pretender in I think I got a "looks good" email or some such thing from the server. I'll check when I get home to see if I inadvertantly had any mods active though I don't think I did.

Re: New EA game: DeadlyMedley
 

Damn! I did have CBM active (attached). If you restart can I resend?
