Please, PM me if you your nation is stated wrongly and you're going to control another nation in a team

Some more notes:
- the more experienced you are the better however though Ermor and R'lyeh are not banned they are not allowed to veteran players.
- to be competitive you should find a reliable partner who won't let you down in the most critical moment. You should build up some team strategy based on your races and their weak/strong points.
- pacts and NAP's are supposed to be honored
- partners may watch turns of each other and may substitute each other if there's a need

Re: Wombat - LA team game
 

Alright, Myself and Kortek will be on a team and claim Tien Ch'i and Utgard. Undecided who will play what.

...no agartha?

Re: Wombat - LA team game
 

Hello. Nice to meet you again. I played no game without meeting you - that's a good tradition! .. Probably, I'm mistaken. There was one.
I forgot Agartha? Oops...

Re: Wombat - LA team game
 

I'd like to give it a shot. Preferably as Marignon, but I will go with anything except Ermor and Ry'leh as long as I can get a good teamate who can teach me a lot. :)

Re: Wombat - LA team game
 

Trumanator, glad to see you in. Ask people you know - probably they'll agree to build a team with you.

Re: Wombat - LA team game
 

I'd like to give it a shot but I am not that familiar with LA,

If you have a spot with a vet that would like to teach a quick learner a thing or two I would love to learn AND be a good pupil... Regardless of anything else I can promise, I will be there till the end, I have no quit in me.

If you don't have a spot that fits, NP I can always wait till the next one.:up:

Re: Wombat - LA team game
 

Unfortunately I don't really feel like I know very many good players who aren't already involved in a few games.

Re: Wombat - LA team game
 

hi,
sign me and Veto as a team Mictlan - Jomon

Re: Wombat - LA team game
 

Hi, I'm about to be eliminated from Rothfuss and so I can fit another game in my schedule. I'd like to be Midgard but I'm not picky. I wouldn't mind being paired with another noob - the best way to learn is with a challenge :)

Re: Wombat - LA team game
 

I'm a beginner, but I'd love to play. I've played 1 MP game before so I obviously am pretty new. I'll take anyone as a teammate and play whatever team is left, but I'd rather play w/ someone who has a bit of experience :). Anyways, thanks ahead of time.

Re: Wombat - LA team game
 

Hello, I think I will sign up. I'd like to give the Ry'leh and Man combo one more try. Me playing as Man of course. I've secured Unoptimized as a partner as well. This should be his first time playing Ry'leh in MP.

I have hopes that this will be loads of fun.

Re: Wombat - LA team game
 

And I think, "sweet, I should ask AoE if he wants to team up!", then I read the rest of the post. :p

I'm probably in plenty of other games already, but I'll watch to see if it fills up fast or not before deciding now. ;)

Re: Wombat - LA team game
 

Well team games are fun, count me in. I probably fall under the veteran category by now. I would either like to play:

- Ermor (which I am newb with, never played them in MP or SP)
or
- Marignon (which I am comfortable with and would like another try with)

However I am willing to play any team, its not a big deal what nation I get. Searching for an allie willing to play, if you are new or experienced, either is fine with me.

Re: Wombat - LA team game
 

Hello, everybody. Nice to see you in. I put all people without a team to the waitlist because you can't choose a team unless you have a teammate.

I'd like also to indicate that team game is generally harder and more time consuming than regular MP. If you want to be successful, you need to think of more things than usually and you need to have a game plan involving both nations and pretender designs.

p.s. Also, someone may be counted as newbie only if he didn't win a single MP game AND he thinks he is a newbie.

Re: Wombat - LA team game
 

Will anyone mind indies strength 6? Frankly speaking, I just forgot about it.

Re: Wombat - LA team game
 

Me and Juffos would like to take Agartha and Patala. Gonna be deciding which takes which a bit later.

edit: indep 6 is fine for us.

Re: Wombat - LA team game
 

I was wanting to give LA Atlantis another swing, wanna team up EH?

Re: Wombat - LA team game
 

Sure baalz, Fire and ice it is then. Ano sign me and baalz up for Marignon/atlantis combo

Re: Wombat - LA team game
 

O Lord, this will be scary.

Re: Wombat - LA team game
 

Some time in the future Jim. I promise.

Re: Wombat - LA team game
 

Sign me and Trumanator up for Pangaea-Abyssia.

Re: Wombat - LA team game
 

Done.
Only 3 teams are still available and all are quite powerful.
And as we are in late era and are going to play on Alexander, we would probably like 18 nations more than 20 to avoid total overcrowding.

Re: Wombat - LA team game. Signup. 3 teams left!
 

I'd like to sign in as a complete noob.

Re: Wombat - LA team game. Signup. 3 teams left!
 

Lol, we'll end up with 3-4 vet teams smashing away while 3 noob teams buzz around as satellites.

Re: Wombat - LA team game. Signup. 3 teams left!
 

If you're a complete noob better don't sign up here. Team game is not a good place to learn, believe me.

Re: Wombat - LA team game. Signup. 3 teams left!
 

I hope it won't be so. I don't know all people who signed up here but I know for sure that at least some of them are noobs in no case:)

Re: Wombat - LA team game. Signup. 3 teams left!
 

I think i would be more of a hinderance that a help....I will wait till the next one...Good luck all!!

Re: Wombat - LA team game. Signup. 3 teams left!
 

Most probably we will finish signups today-tomorrow and after that I'll prepare the map. AdmiralZhao told me he will definitely take part when he finds a teammate so we currently don't lack anyone (8 teams seems enough to me)

Re: Wombat - LA team game. Signup finishing. Hurry up!
 

Cadel, Jim, are you going to play?

Re: Wombat - LA team game. Signup finishing. Hurry up!
 

I would prefer Worthy Heroes on, because Patala doesn't seem to have any national heroes without it.

Re: Wombat - LA team game. Signup finishing. Hurry up!
 

Any objections?

Re: Wombat - LA team game. Signup finishing. Hurry up!
 

Ano Id like to join---and use worthy heroes. Jim, are you in????

Re: Wombat - LA team game. Signup finishing. Hurry up!
 

Welcome, klagrok)
Glad to see you again.

Re: Wombat - LA team game. Signup finished. Most probably..
 

WH is excellent.

Re: Wombat - LA team game. Signup finished. Most probably..
 

I'd prefer WH on too, makes it more interesting for those nations without any.

Re: Wombat - LA team game. Signup finished. Most probably..
 

Well, then WH is decided.

Re: Wombat - LA team game. Signup finished. Most probably..
 

yeah i'll play

Re: Wombat - LA team game. Signup finished. Most probably..
 

The problem is that there're two team slots left and 3 players wanting to join. 20 players for Alexander is a bit too much and I already prepared the map for 18 players\9 teams. So you probably should team up with klagrok or AdmiralZhao.

Re: Wombat - LA team game. Signup finished. Most probably..
 

Just thought I should pop in again (you coulda PMed me :p) - I'm in 10 games atm, and trying to slim that down a bit..... If this was CBM you'd probably still tempt me, but you've sold it as a vanilla game, so I don't want you to keep hoping I will join it. <3

Re: Wombat - LA team game. Signup finished. Most probably..
 

Ano, sign me up as Gath---AdmiralZhao or Cadel, I can play Midgard as well. First one to respond is the winner :)

Re: Wombat - LA team game. Signup finished. Most probably..
 

Good)
Have you got a teammate? Maybe you'll team up with Cadel who's also searching for one?

Re: Wombat - LA team game. Signup finished. Most probably..
 

Which ever one posts here first. Probably wont be able to check much longer as getting ready for SuperBowl. So if you see one post here, sign us up together. I prefer the moderate seperation scenario.

Re: Wombat - LA team game. Signup finished. Most probably..
 

Ok, then I put you and Cadel together as Arco-Bogarus.
As for moderate positioning, it's a bit late because no one showed any interest in this setting before and I already prepared a map. I spent plenty of time to make it and I'm not going to remake unless someone has strong objections.

Re: Wombat - LA team game. Signup finished. Most probably..
 

Ano, Gath and Midgard if you please--think you might have read my first choice before I edited it 5 minutes later....hopefully not too late.

Re: Wombat - LA team game. Signup finished. Most probably..
 

Heh... I already uploaded the map to llamaserver)))
Seems like I'll have to upload another version. Ok, I think I'll ask llamabeast to remove old version (and maybe both because I can hardly imagine how someone can use them) a bit later.
I couldn't create game, btw. Seems like llamserver feels sick.

Re: Wombat - LA team game. Signup finished.
 

The game has been created at last. See link in the first post. Starting provinces for each nation can also be found. Some other minor modifications to the map include:
- provinces 19 and 25 changed from waste to farmland because people who start in these regions often have very little money due to endless wastelands
- province 207 given "Great Iron Mine" site to compensate Atlantis' poor resource starting loc (it has 3 land and 3 water neighbours).

Also, those who didn't tell which nation they are going to play for, please do it

Re: Wombat - LA team game. Upload pretenders.
 

Ano, I have multiple Alexander maps, but when I try to download this one, get an error.

Re: Wombat - LA team game. Upload pretenders.
 

Graphic file is untouched and you don't need to download any other than we used in Qwerty. All I changed is .map file which you don't need at all because it is stored at llamaserver. If you still need it, you may download it from llamserver map repository (it doesn't work atm)
Which error did you get? It works fine - I just tried it. I changed link in the first post to direct .zip file link.

Re: Wombat - LA team game. Upload pretenders.
 

I will be playing Utgard and Kortek will be playing Tien Chi

Re: Wombat - LA team game. Upload pretenders.
 

Quitti - Agartha
Juffos - Patala
