Doomsday 2 - Fast-track-dif-res-high-magic-high-scores game
 

It's time for another Doomsday game, this time without a chinese hacker pushing LA TienChi up through the roof.


Hosting time will be 24h for the first 2 weeks, then 48h. You should have plenty of time at hands to play.

The setting is for apocalyptic clashes of armies with battle-deceiding magic playing a part only in the endgame.


I'd suggest 10 players, if possible no water nations.

Re: Doomsday 2 - Fast-track-dif-res-high-magic-high-scores game
 

I'll go with Neifle

Re: Doomsday 2 - Fast-track-dif-res-high-magic-high-scores game
 

Actually make that EA Mictlan if we get enough people to do this...

Re: Doomsday 2 - Fast-track-dif-res-high-magic-high-scores game
 

I'd like to play as Ermor.

Re: Doomsday 2 - Fast-track-dif-res-high-magic-high-scores game
 

225% gold... heh. I'm tempted, but currently sanity is preventing me from joining a new game :D

Re: Doomsday 2 - Fast-track-dif-res-high-magic-high-scores game
 

Helheim for me.

Re: Doomsday 2 - Fast-track-dif-res-high-magic-high-scores game
 

I'll try my luck with Vanheim

Re: Doomsday 2 - Fast-track-dif-res-high-magic-high-scores game
 

Abysia please

Re: Doomsday 2 - Fast-track-dif-res-high-magic-high-scores game
 

should we go to CBm 1.4?

Re: Doomsday 2 - Fast-track-dif-res-high-magic-high-scores game
 

*bump*

Re: Doomsday 2 - Fast-track-dif-res-high-magic-high-scores game
 

Arcoscephale

Re: Doomsday 2 - Fast-track-dif-res-high-magic-high-scores game
 

Caelum please

Re: Doomsday 2 - Fast-track-dif-res-high-magic-high-scores game
 

I will try Niefels.

Re: Doomsday 2 - Fast-track-dif-res-high-magic-high-scores game
 

Oh wait, I changed my mind, let me try pangaea instead. Caelum is free now.

Re: Doomsday 2 - Fast-track-dif-res-high-magic-high-scores game
 

I'd like to join.
My choice is Lanka.

Re: Doomsday 2 - Fast-track-dif-res-high-magic-high-scores game
 

Bump. And while waiting, I've decided to switch to Hinnom haha. :p

Re: Doomsday 2 - Fast-track-dif-res-high-magic-high-scores game
 

Any problem if I switch from Mictlan to EA Tir Na n'Og ? I cant imagine there would be a problem as no one has chosen it and its not off a list of nations that can be chosen from but thought I'd at least mention it here.

Re: Doomsday 2 - Fast-track-dif-res-high-magic-high-scores game
 

It will be interesting to see how this one pans out.. I have the feeling that the difficult research will be more than countered by the gold boost

Re: Doomsday 2 - Fast-track-dif-res-high-magic-high-scores game
 

Ack, I'll be up in the mountains Thursday coming back on Monday. If we start before then, I'll have to bow out of the game. Sorry!

Re: Doomsday 2 - Fast-track-dif-res-high-magic-high-scores game
 

I dont mind anyone switching;)

Re: Doomsday 2 - Fast-track-dif-res-high-magic-high-scores game
 

judgin by the rate of pretender upload shouldn't be an issue lolomo ;)

Re: Doomsday 2 - Fast-track-dif-res-high-magic-high-scores game
 

True....


Send in your gods!

;)

Re: Doomsday 2 - Fast-track-dif-res-high-magic-high-scores game
 

just bumping this as it seems half the players aren't aware that the game is accepting pretenders?

Perhaps a change in the thread title?

Re: Doomsday 2 - Fast-track-dif-res-high-magic-high-scores game
 

Or maybe PM'ing those who have not sent in...

Re: Doomsday 2 - Fast-track-dif-res-high-magic-high-scores game
 

I'll do both - but how do I change the title;) ?

Re: Doomsday 2 - Fast-track-dif-res-high-magic-high-scores game
 

I have no idea, but everyone seems to do it ;)

Re: Doomsday 2 - Fast-track-dif-res-high-magic-high-scores game
 

Well I just sent PM's to everyone who has not sent in pretenders with the exception of Ossa who has not sent in his but I'm sure being the Game admin he may just be waiting for the others and hasnt forgotten.

Re: Doomsday 2 - Fast-track-dif-res-high-magic-high-scores game
 

Just got in from a trip into the mountains. I notice that CBM 1.41 is out now, shall we use that version instead? It's mostly typo fixes, so I don't think there would be any need to resubmit pretenders.

Re: Doomsday 2 - Fast-track-dif-res-high-magic-high-scores game
 

I'll change that, you're right.

Re: Doomsday 2 - Fast-track-dif-res-high-magic-high-scores game
 

I've send my pretender and readjusted the game to cbm 1.41.

The only one missing is now Qiu with Arco.

I'll ring him again - shall we go without him otherwise? I would like to set tomorrow evening as the latest deadline.

Re: Doomsday 2 - Fast-track-dif-res-high-magic-high-scores game
 

Well, as the game is running I see the research is at normal difficulty.
Am I right?

Re: Doomsday 2 - Fast-track-dif-res-high-magic-high-scores game
 

Would seem to be so.

Re: Doomsday 2 - Fast-track-dif-res-high-magic-high-scores game
 

Are we going to restart?

Re: Doomsday 2 - Fast-track-dif-res-high-magic-high-scores game
 

we definitely need to.. with income where it is research will be ridiculous at normal levels, exactly the opposite of the original intent

Re: Doomsday 2 - Fast-track-dif-res-high-magic-high-scores game
 

I've got great starting position, but I agree with Dragar. We need to restart. :(

Re: Doomsday 2 - Fast-track-dif-res-high-magic-high-scores game
 

Sorry, this mistake was not intended (huh!)

I'll restart with the correct settings right away, no need to resend anything.

Re: Doomsday 2 - Fast-track-dif-res-high-magic-high-scores game
 

do you need us to resend pretenders? the game has been sitting open for a fair few hours, assume the restart didn't work properly?

Re: Doomsday 2 - Fast-track-dif-res-high-magic-high-scores game
 

No need to resend anything - I just had to write Llamabeast about my admin password. :( I seem to have forgotten it after I reset the game... that was kind of stupid, sorry:/

Re: Doomsday 2 - Fast-track-dif-res-high-magic-high-scores game
 

If you do not receive a reply within the next 2 days, how bout just making Doomsday3 and everyone resends their pretenders.

If you want to do this the smart way. You could make the new game now and tell everyone to resubmit. That way if plan A, contacting the admin, does not work we might be able to restart faster. You can always ask for the other game to be removed when we manage to start the other.

Re: Doomsday 2 - Fast-track-dif-res-high-magic-high-scores game
 

Yep, that should be the smartest idea.

So, everyone *bows his head in shame* please resend your pretenders to doomsday3 :/

Re: Doomsday 2 - Fast-track-dif-res-high-magic-high-scores game
 

You probably should send a private message to every player so they will know of the current situation.

Re: Doomsday 2 - Fast-track-dif-res-high-magic-high-scores game
 

Problem solved - Doomsday2 is starting;)

Have a nice game!

Re: Doomsday 2 - Fast-track-dif-res-high-magic-high-scores game
 

Please post links to ALL relevant components (mods, maps), if they do not come with the base game, on the first page of this thread. Can't be bothered to hunt for these, if I don't have them. I am tempted to rename CBM v1.3 simply to v1.4.

Re: Doomsday 2 - Fast-track-dif-res-high-magic-high-scores game
 

Ah, may we live in interesting times...

Re: Doomsday 2 - Fast-track-dif-res-high-magic-high-scores game
 

eh?

Re: Doomsday 2 - Fast-track-dif-res-high-magic-high-scores game
 

"May you live in interesting times" is allegedly an old chinese proverb/curse (wikipedia). Lot seems to happen now in the game - just see the score graphs ;)

Re: Doomsday 2 - Fast-track-dif-res-high-magic-high-scores game
 

Had a quick look on llamaserver before (afg), saw a bit of change. Ah yes, looks like quite a few provinces may have changed hands, some quite lucrative ones too. It will be interesting to see if army sizes start dropping as some serious conflict begins. Should be a fun game!

Re: Doomsday 2 - Fast-track-dif-res-high-magic-high-scores game
 

Can we switch to 48h timer?
We have 35th turn. I think it's a good time to do so.

Re: Doomsday 2 - Fast-track-dif-res-high-magic-high-scores game
 

It's amazing that we've gone on 24 hour quickhost for 35 turns. This is the fastest moving MP game I've ever played in. I second the switch to 48 hour hosting interval though, as armies are getting huge, and the summer beach season is coming up here in the Philippines :D

Re: Doomsday 2 - Fast-track-dif-res-high-magic-high-scores game
 

That's what I intended with a "fast track" game;)

I'll switch to 48 hours with the next tick.
