Divine Might(PBEM) - (Game on!)
 

This game should only be joined by people with no more than 5 played games. This would be my second multi-player game.

Settings:
Age: Middle Age
Version: 3.17
Map: Modified Parganos (A version which has a somewhat fairer spread of terrains than the default, so you don't get one person with all the farmland). This will be a dead seas version, meaning the seas will give no income and contain no magic sites
Players: 8
Game Settings: All default, except independents strength, which will be set at 7, and renaming, which will be on.

We will also be using the Llama server hosting.

I am also open to suggestions as to what should be changed/added.

List of current players:
Denisius - Pythium
Apsophos - Abysia
Mule Warrior - Bandar Log
MadFrancis - Caelum
Deadnature - Ulm
46852 - Vanheim
Dedas - Ct'is


The game has begun, good luck everyone.

Re: Divine Might(PBEM) - (Sign up)
 

This would be my fifth MP game (if the random one starts).
I'd like to play with Abysia.

Re: Divine Might(PBEM) - (Sign up)
 

Hi,


I'd like to play with Bandar Log

Re: Divine Might(PBEM) - (Sign up)
 

Count me in please, playing Caelum.

Re: Divine Might(PBEM) - (Sign up)
 

List updated. We need 6 more players.

Re: Divine Might(PBEM) - (Sign up)
 

hi,

this will be my fifth game as well, put me down for Ulm please

Re: Divine Might(PBEM) - (Sign up)
 

Will be my 2nd game, I could play Vanheim.

Worthy Heroes mod is worth looking at I think. It doesn't change much, just spices up the heroes a bit.

Re: Divine Might(PBEM) - (Sign up)
 

The only MP game I have ever played is that EA MadWar which started a few days ago and is likely to be aborted soon for imbalanced starting locations. I would like to play Tien chi.

Re: Divine Might(PBEM) - (Sign up)
 

Even though I've been around a while I'm pretty much a newbie at MP. Especially as I choose MA Ct'is.

Re: Divine Might(PBEM) - (Sign up)
 

Ermor for me, please

Re: Divine Might(PBEM) - (Sign up)
 

Just a short comment ( i don't have enough time to play a third game ) ... llama has made a modified version of this map with dead seas and 8 fixed starting position ... you could consider using this map, because it is well balanced ... (btw. is the actually a balanced version for 10 players ? )
have a lot of fun !

Re: Divine Might(PBEM) - (Sign up)
 

I have only played some hotseat games, would like to try out a real MP game. For my nation I'd choose Man.

Re: Divine Might(PBEM) - (Sign up)
 

I'd like to play with Ashdod.thanks :cool:

Re: Divine Might(PBEM) - (Sign up)
 

If there is still one free place I would like to take Agartha

Re: Divine Might(PBEM) - (Sign up)
 

I would like to play as Jotunheim and Quitti as R'lyeh, only if possible.

Quitti will confirm this when he comes home.

@mighty_scoop
You are correct. For some reason, I mistook 8 for 10.

@46852
As I am unfamiliar with the 'Worthy Heroes' mod, I am reluctant to use it. Maybe for our next game.

The sign up has been concluded. All those that have been accepted, please submit your pretender to the LlamaServer game, 'Divine Might'.

For those of you that are unfamiliar with LlamaServer, here is a link to the FAQ: Link

To download the map we are going to use, click on the following link: Link

As soon as all the pretenders are uploaded, I'll post here with the time the game will begin.

Re: Divine Might(PBEM) - (Sign up)
 

I tried to send my pretender, but received an email saying that the game is already full. How is that possible?

Re: Divine Might(PBEM) - (Sign up)
 

Did you try writing 'Divine_Might' as the subject name, instead of 'Divine Might'?

Re: Divine Might(PBEM) - (Submit pretender)
 

try resending, I've noticed Llamaserver (awsome though it is) can sometimes have odd little bugs.

For example, I recently had trouble submitting a pretender for another game using my yahoo email account: llamaserver kept saying "no such game exists" when one clearly did exist. I retried many times before switching to my gmail account and the problem was quickly solved.

Re: Divine Might(PBEM) - (Sign up)
 

It worked.

Thank you :)

Re: Divine Might(PBEM) - (Submit pretender)
 

Tien Chi still missing the pretender... hup hup! :)

Re: Divine Might(PBEM) - (Submit pretender)
 

I've messaged ID that should not be, and if he does not answer within 6 hours, I shall let another player take the chance.

Re: Divine Might(PBEM) - (Submit pretender)
 

All players have submitted a pretender, and the game will begin today (28/08), at 19:00 GMT+2.

Re: Divine Might(PBEM) - (Submit pretender)
 

Sorry I missed the notice of gathering pretender files, and a friend of mine (blessed be his kindness:))saved me from being kicked out by sending a pretender to the server in my name. So I need to have the email address changed. I have messaged Denisius and gave him my real email address(or should I also inform the server of the change?).

Re: Divine Might(PBEM) - (Submit pretender)
 

I think Denisius just could delete the current pretender and then you could resend yours. Might be the easiest way?

Re: Divine Might(PBEM) - (Submit pretender)
 

I've deleted your pretender. Once you resubmit it, the game will begin.

Re: Divine Might(PBEM) - (Submit pretender)
 

Wasn't this game supposed to begin today?

Re: Divine Might(PBEM) - (Submit pretender)
 

It was supposed to. However, Llama server will now be down until the 30/08.

Re: Divine Might(PBEM) - (Submit pretender)
 

When is the game exactly going to start? I might want to resend my pretender after the server comes up again...

Re: Divine Might(PBEM) - (Submit pretender)
 

As soon as the Llama server goes back online, I'll start the game.

Re: Divine Might(PBEM) - (Submit pretender)
 

I have sent in a revised pretender but I don't know if it will be registered before the game starts as the server is down. Could you perhaps hold an hour or two after the server comes back up so that I can resend it? I would be very grateful as the game will be much more fun for me. :)

Re: Divine Might(PBEM) - (Submit pretender)
 

Very well. If the game has not registered your pretender, I'll be sure to wait.

Re: Divine Might(PBEM) - (Submit pretender)
 

Pretender registered. Feel free to start and thank you for waiting. :)

Re: Divine Might(PBEM) - (Submit pretender)
 

should we upgrade to 3.20?

Re: Divine Might(PBEM) - (Submit pretender)
 

I believe so. One of the things changed in the downtime, I believe, was the version of the game, which was updated to 3.20. So we should do the same. The game has begun!

Re: Divine Might(PBEM) - (Submit pretender)
 

You must upgrade to 3.20.

Re: Divine Might(PBEM) - (Submit pretender)
 

So do we start with 7 players only? Wasn't ID supposed to resend his pretender? The map might get a bit unbalanced with 7 nations only.

Re: Divine Might(PBEM) - (Submit pretender)
 

Ahh, the game has already begun. Good luck, everyone!

Re: Divine Might(PBEM) - (Submit pretender)
 

7 players is ok then? If it is so, good luck from my behalf too... Because you will all need it! ;)

Re: Divine Might(PBEM) - (Game on!)
 

Hey, if you get a chance you should create a link to the actual map file. It's a real pain in the *** to find otherwise.

Re: Divine Might(PBEM) - (Game on!)
 

The following is a direct link:

Re: Divine Might(PBEM) - (Game on!)
 

Thanks.

Re: Divine Might(PBEM) - (Game on!)
 

Pythium has been stalling 7 times in a row now. Maybe we should declare him dead or find another player?

Re: Divine Might(PBEM) - (Game on!)
 

I just realised that Pythium is played by Denisius, the game creator. Weird.

Re: Divine Might(PBEM) - (Game on!)
 

Hmm... are we playing a dead game then? :(

I was a bit surprised to see the game begin with 7 players, as this leaves 1 area on the map quite empty. Now the game admin has disappeared too...

Re: Divine Might(PBEM) - (Game on!)
 

No matter. He is not needed as the game runs itself.

Re: Divine Might(PBEM) - (Game on!)
 

Right, but its annoying since we can't autohost and we'll have to wait a full 24 hours for every turn now; is there any way we can set his nation to AI or get the admin code?

I've sent him a PM, whatever good that does...

Re: Divine Might(PBEM) - (Game on!)
 

Without the password... tricky. Perhaps Llamabeast can help? I'll PM him.

Re: Divine Might(PBEM) - (Game on!)
 

Good news everyone!

The game is rolling along again with the Llamaserver up and running. Also, I'm taking over the role as game admin after successfully retrieving the password from the Llama.
My first action as admin is to kick Denisius out of the game. I'm also issuing a friendly warning to MadFrancis to stop stalling or else. :)

Enjoy the game!

Re: Divine Might(PBEM) - (Game on!)
 

Yeah my internet service was interrupted by my provider through no fault of my own. Do what you will, but don't waste my time. Public threats of being booted are not appreciated. In fact, I've just set myself to AI. I don't want to waste time on a game that I may or may not get booted from eventually. Consider this my withdrawal.
