Re: Timewarp! - Recruiting 1/20
 

I'll take LA Ermor.

Re: Timewarp! - Recruiting 1/20
 

I'd like to take MA TienChi

Re: Timewarp! - Recruiting 3/20
 

I might give LA Ctis a try

Re: Timewarp! - Recruiting 4/20
 

I'd like in as EA Niefelheim please.

Re: Timewarp! - Recruiting 4/20
 

Sign me up for MA Jotunheim. Also tried downloading map and it appears the MAP file isn't included :confused:

Re: Timewarp! - Recruiting 4/20
 

EA Agartha please.

Re: Timewarp! - Recruiting 4/20
 

Have no fear! :D From my previous games with random maps (Kingmaker, etc) I believe only the host needs the map file, in this case it will be llamaserver. I sent a pm to llama this morning for confirmation and am waiting for a reply. If it turns out the players need the map file I'll post it.

I should have checked the map editor without the map file in my folder to see if you guys could view it. It looks like you can't. My apologies, I'll post a jpeg when I get the time.

I would also like to start getting the pretenders in after the long weekend, so the scope, and therefore the map may change (downsize). It will still be a random map with many mountains and choke points though, so no worries on the 'type'.

Re: Timewarp! - Recruiting 7/20
 

EA Mictlan pls.

Re: Timewarp! - Recruiting 7/20
 

Hrrrm would it be possible to change my choice to EA Hinnom if its not too late. Ive tried LA Ctis in SP and didnt care for them too much as it doesnt really fit my play style until late game and I'd probably be wiped out before then..

Re: Timewarp! - Recruiting 7/20
 

Ahh, Hinnom chosen, I'll take EA C'tis.

Re: Timewarp! - Recruiting 7/20
 

EA Fomoria please

Re: Timewarp! - Recruiting 7/20
 

I'll take MA Marignon please

Re: Timewarp! - Recruiting 7/20
 

I would like to play LA Vanheim

Re: Timewarp! - Recruiting 12/20
 

It looks like my assumption on the map is correct. Llamabeast has confirmed that players only need the image and not the map file.

We're closer to twenty than I thought we would be, therefore I will extend the recruiting process to Friday.

Re: Timewarp! - Recruiting 12/20
 

I'd like EA Mictlan - Thanks!

Re: Timewarp! - Recruiting 12/20
 

Sorry Shogi, EA Mictlan has been taken.

Re: Timewarp! - Recruiting 12/20
 

Still room for me? Ill take MA Ulm.

Re: Timewarp! - Recruiting 12/20
 

MA Mictlan, please.

Re: Timewarp! - Recruiting 12/20
 

Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't you win your last game as MA Mictlan sum1lost? This is gonna be an interesting game!

Re: Timewarp! - Recruiting 12/20
 

Actually, I won my last game as MA Pangaea, though I haven't reported it yet. But, yes, I won a game as MA mictlan. I'm going for a much less optimized build this time, though, if its any help. (Last time was a double bless, fullstop. This time it should be single blessing, so much less powerful. However, if there are objections, I will be happy to change my nation pick.

Re: Timewarp! - Recruiting 15/20
 

Aapeli - Yup there is! MA Ulm is all yours. :D

sum1lost - I have no issues with you playing MA Mictlan.

All - It doesn't look like we'll get the full 20 players by Friday, so I'm going to have to generate a new map. The size of the map will be a bit over 20 provinces/player.

Re: Timewarp! - Recruiting 15/20
 

No objections on my part either sum1lost, it's just I was in that game also but started in the worst possible place on the map.

Re: Timewarp! - Recruiting 15/20
 

If you're fighting against Hinnom Niefelheim and Fomoria I reckon MA Mictlan can take as strong a bless as it likes!

Re: Timewarp! - Recruiting 15/20
 

LA Marignon if not too late :)

Re: Timewarp! - Recruiting 15/20
 

And LA C'tis please :)

Re: Timewarp! - Recruiting 15/20
 

Bandar Log for me

Re: Timewarp! - Recruiting 18/20
 

I'd like to change to MA Pythium, please.

Re: Timewarp! - Closed
 

Just to keep everyone posted. The map is done, a pic is linked on the first post. I've run into issues uploading the map on llamaserver, so I am waiting for the issue to get straightened out.

Re: Timewarp! - May need 1 more!!!
 

Evenin ya'll,

Llamabeast is going to manually load the map into llamaserver (thank you Llama), so once that's done then I'll set the game up to accept pretenders.

We may have lost Shogi, seeing as I haven't received an updated nation from him, so tentatively there is an open spot! :shock: Hopefully someone else wants to play.

The image file is also attached the first post and ready for download.

Re: Timewarp! - May need 1 more!!!
 

I swore I wouldn't play in another game with Late Ermor. :P

But, I see you don't have a Lanka, but I have one I can show you, if you still need someone. ;)

Re: Timewarp! - May need 1 more!!!
 

What about exploits?

Re: Timewarp! - May need 1 more!!!
 

If you need a replacement, I could join this with Sauromatia :)

Re: Timewarp! - May need 1 more!!!
 

Yes, what about Votd and other "features"? Are they banned or what? (My pretender in another game was just killed by votd timeout, so it seems it's still buggy).

Re: Timewarp! - May need 1 more!!!
 

I´d like to play if you can fit me in. LA Tien chi.

Re: Timewarp! - May need 1 more!!!
 

The fact that your pretender died to VotD doesn't make Votd buggy. Try not to kill so many = ).

But Slobby, can you advise on what will be allowed/disallowed, if anything....?

Re: Timewarp! - May need 1 more!!!
 

I'd like to request that battlefield retreat/MoD be banned. I'm ambivalent about copying bogus orders.

Re: Timewarp! - May need 1 more!!!
 

BE + Retreat is definitely fixed. Someone tried to do a Wrathful Skies + Retreat to me in another game, and the spell ended after the first blast, as the mage had left the field (he still had a 100% SR SC on the field though).

Re: Timewarp! - May need 1 more!!!
 

And the winner is Jim Morrison! :D I'll give Shogi until tommorow to reply (that'll be a week), if he doesn't then the spot is yours! Sorry to Jarkko and Ylvali, but that fills us up. However if there are other players that 'disappear' then you two will have first crack at taking a spot.

MoD is fixed, just tried it myself, so no worries about the BE + retreat.

VotD - personally I think it is fairly easy to resist (I cast it and cast it but the darned SCs keep resisting it!). Imo if your SC can't resist it, then really it's the same as being subject to soul slay/enslave mind, and therefore fair game.

Copying Bogus's orders. We'll say that's an exploit and shall be banned. I'll update the first post.

Are there any other exploits that players are concerned about? No others come to my mind.

Re: Timewarp! - Closed
 

Overfilling labs.
Cheating with seduction or moves (grouping commanders and issuing an order valid for the first which will thus copy to all other commanders).

Mostly, I'd just say whats on the exploits list..

Anyone mind if I switch from EA-Mict to LA-Mict?

Re: Timewarp! - Closed
 

Right, map uploaded at last. Sorry about the delay.

Re: Timewarp! - Closed
 

Game is up and ready for pretenders!

1. Overfilling labs - yup none of that this game.

2. Issuing order - Wasn't aware of that one, how would it work?

3. There's an exploit list?

4. No problems here, consider it changed!

General: I just looked at what Valerius banned from his games, there's Bogus, the lab thing, and the BE + retreat, which is now fixed. I'm tentatively leaning towards going with his example.

Re: Timewarp! - Upload pretenders!
 

Oh, and I still haven't received word from Shogi Jim, so the spot is yours.

Re: Timewarp! - Upload pretenders!
 

Um, Slobby, I was in your list originally as ea-mictlan - so you still have an open spot.

I've seen an exploit list - I just don't remember where.

There is a whole class of movement and other bugss.

For example.. have one seductress and 3 scouts. Group them. Issue seduction orders to the succubus and all the scouts will carry out seduction orders.

The same applies for moving too far out of a sieged fort, or moving out of a fort at all...

Re: Timewarp! - Upload pretenders!
 

What you talkin bout chris? When I said there was maybe one spot I had three takers. :p Jim has Shogi's spot.

Re: Timewarp! - Upload pretenders!
 

You said you were going to PM me. ;) No bother, your guess that I would read the thread, was in fact correct. :p

Re: Timewarp! - Upload pretenders!
 

Huh? your on the list as LA Mictlan.. Maybe that was after your post here, but I was thinking you were already on the list...

Either way I see LA Mictlan has submitted its pretender so maybe thats you...

Re: Timewarp! - Upload pretenders!
 

Yes, I uploaded as LA-Mictlan.
I think I am not helping matters, but by my count I think Slobby has one more vacancy.
