I'll take C'tis.

Re: Fallen Kingdoms - LA game - signup
 

Ulm please

Re: Fallen Kingdoms - LA game - signup (3 more)
 

I'll give Pythium a try

Re: Fallen Kingdoms - LA game - signup (2 more)
 

I'd like to try out Jomon.

Re: Fallen Kingdoms - LA game - signup (2 more)
 

I would like to join as Mictlan.

Re: Fallen Kingdoms - LA game - signup (2 more)
 

All right we are full. I'll take Man.

I've created the game on llamaserver. We start as soon as all pretenders get in. The subject should be FallenKingdoms.

First turn will be 48h, after that 24h, until I get requests to lengthen it.

About the map: There seems to be a version with fixed starts and a version without fixed starts. I chose fixed starts hoping it will be more balanced. If there are any objections to this I can change it.

Re: Fallen Kingdoms - LA game - full, send pretenders
 

Where can I download the deadseas version of Parganos?

Re: Fallen Kingdoms - LA game - full, send pretenders
 

I am trying to find that out myself. But you don't need it to be able to play, the .tga file is enough.

Here is the link, but I think it doesn't contain the fixed starts version of the map file:

Re: Fallen Kingdoms - LA game - full, send pretenders
 

I think llamaserver has the maps.

Re: Fallen Kingdoms - LA game - full, send pretenders
 

The links on llamaserver are broken.

Re: Fallen Kingdoms - LA game - full, send pretenders
 

Can you set "renaming allowed" in game settings?

Re: Fallen Kingdoms - LA game - full, send pretenders
 

It's set by default

Re: Fallen Kingdoms - LA game - full, send pretenders
 

No, renaming is not allowed by default

Re: Fallen Kingdoms - LA game - full, send pretenders
 

Not in the game options, but yes on llamaserver game creation options. Renaming is allowed, don't worry.

Re: Fallen Kingdoms - LA game - full, send pretenders
 

I'm sorry, but I'll have to resign my partition. My dominions did not seem to have newlords folder at all. I tried to recreate it, but that didn't work.

I'll have to reinstall, but I don't have acceess to the CD at the moment. I can get access to it this weekend, so if you can't get anyone to replace me before that, I should be able to participate.

Re: Fallen Kingdoms - LA game - full, send pretenders
 

Just in case, you looked in dominions3\savedgames\newlords ?

Re: Fallen Kingdoms - LA game - full, send pretenders
 

Like Crust said the newlords folder is in the savedgames folder, at least on pre-Vista Windows. If you are using Vista it's somewhere in my documents or local settings or something like that, there is a topic about it in Dom3 general forum. Don't know about Mac or Linux.

Also if you really need to reinstall, you can find your CD-key in dominions3 folder in the file named key. Just open it with notepad or any text viewer.

Re: Fallen Kingdoms - LA game - full, send pretenders
 

Alternately ask someone else (outside of this game) to build your pretender and send you the file. If you tell them what you want shouldn't take someone more than 5 minutes.

Edit: Or will that cause problems with the CD key? I don't think so..

Re: Fallen Kingdoms - LA game - full, send pretenders
 

Burnsaber, we are waiting just on you now. Did you manage to solve your problem with any of these advices?

Re: Fallen Kingdoms - LA game - full, send pretenders
 

Seems like we need new player

Re: Fallen Kingdoms - LA game - full, send pretenders
 

newlords is actually in dominions3/savedgames/newlords on my computer, which i running windows vista (sadly)

Re: Fallen Kingdoms - LA game - full, send pretenders
 

so are we opening this up to an 8th player? Why is it that new games always get stalled for ages for reasons like this, I wish people would commit once they sign on to a game

Re: Fallen Kingdoms - LA game - full, send pretenders
 

If you need an 8th, I can play.

Jazzepi

Re: Fallen Kingdoms - LA game - full, send pretenders
 

I wanted to give Burnsaber some time to resolve his problem. Especially so because he has already made his pretender and because I believe that he just didn't look in the right place. But since he hasn't logged onto forums for two days and people are getting impatient, we shall replace him.

Jazzepi thank you for your offer. I would like if you joined. You can take Jomon or any other available nation.

Re: Fallen Kingdoms - LA game - full, send pretenders
 

I'll take Jomon. Can I just upload it over the current pretender?

Jazzepi

Re: Fallen Kingdoms - LA game - full, send pretenders
 

There is no pretender for Jomon yet. That's what we're waiting on. Just go on and upload it.

Re: Fallen Kingdoms - LA game - full, send pretenders
 

I just thought I should mention that the game has started. Although the first turn is set to 48h, it is not expected to last that long, especially since it takes you about two minutes to do it. It is just a precaution in case someone has problems with the server. Should this be the case, the person having problems would be wise to post here about it.

Re: Fallen Kingdoms - LA game - started
 

Oh... This game is realy slow boat

Re: Fallen Kingdoms - LA game - started
 

It seems we lost another one before we started. I don't want to see stales from turn 1, so I'll prolong the timer to find a replacement for Ctis, or alternatively restart when a new player is found.

I am very annoyed by all this. Even the slow game for busy people whose thread started after this one is going at a better speed.

Re: Fallen Kingdoms - LA game - need 1 more
 

I'd be interested in taking C'tis's place, if you still need a replacement.

Re: Fallen Kingdoms - LA game - need 1 more
 

We do. Will you just take over as a sub, or do you want to create your own pretender?

Re: Fallen Kingdoms - LA game - need 1 more
 

I'd like to create my own, if that's okay.

Also, I've never joined a game where I haven't already had the map before. How does it work? Does it just download a copy of it when I connect?

Re: Fallen Kingdoms - LA game - need 1 more
 

Sure, I'll restart the game and delete Ctis pretender and you can send it then.

You have the link to the map in one of earlier posts of mine, although I'm not sure whether one of the .map files from there is actually used by the server (the only difference could be preset starting locations). Only the server needs the .map file, because it is used to generate .trn and ftherlnd files. You as a player only need the .tga file, since you'll get .trn file from the server.

Oh, and this is a PBEM game, not sure whether you got that part.

Re: Fallen Kingdoms - LA game - need 1 more
 

Ah, I had not noticed that. That's still fine :). That llamaserver FAQ is quite helpful on figuring this stuff out.

I just tried sending in my pretender, and it said the game has already started. Guessing it hasn't processed you restarting the game yet?

Re: Fallen Kingdoms - LA game - need 1 more
 

I didn't expect you'll be over so soon. Try again in 5 minutes.

Re: Fallen Kingdoms - LA game - need 1 more
 

I'm busy playing the forum game in another forum, so I've just kept this tab open and been refreshing it ever few minutes :).

Re: Fallen Kingdoms - LA game - need 1 more
 

We started again. Sorry about all the inconveniences everyone. Sorry about the starting location if you liked your last one, but they should all be balanced. Hopefully this game will start moving now.

Re: Fallen Kingdoms - LA game - started again
 

Got my first turn in, good luck to everyone and lets have a fun game :).

Re: Fallen Kingdoms - LA game - started again
 

That's more like it, kicking along now :)

Re: Fallen Kingdoms - LA game - started again
 

jimkehn I sent you a PM

Re: Fallen Kingdoms - LA game - started again
 

Need fire and earth gems, offer air and nature.

Re: Fallen Kingdoms - LA game - running
 

Hmmm, something funny happened to this game, but I've fixed it now. You're still on turn 12, as you should be, and waiting on four players to send their turns in. Requesting turn resend should also now work again.

Re: Fallen Kingdoms - LA game - running
 

Everything works great now. Thanks!

Re: Fallen Kingdoms - LA game - running
 

Thank you for good fight PsiSoldier. But I think that your basic strategy are wrong. LA Pythium don't need hydras for early game at all. Their infantry is the BEST in LA, and can expand very quickly almost without losses. That save A LOT of money for new castles and mages. Just try it

Re: Fallen Kingdoms - LA game - running
 

Jomon needs astral gems! We have all sorts of other types of gems to trade with.

Re: Fallen Kingdoms - LA game - running
 

I've delayed hosting by 24h. I have a homework that I must hand in tomorrow. I hope no one minds.

Re: Fallen Kingdoms - LA game - running
 

I just noticed that Pythium went AI. Thank you for participating PsiSoldier and better luck next time.
