Age of Adventurers - EA [victory for the humans]
 

Era 1 Chaoticized Game

Chaos_bounties on port 7741 with difficult AIs Rlyeh, Lanka, Ulm allied against you. (http://game.dom3minions.com/bin/Chaos_chk.cgi)

The pretenders of three nations set out together in hopes of establishing themselves in their new realm. But with the alliance of Rlyeh, Lanka, and Ulm it has been determined that a new band of nations must break this alliance before it becomes too powerful. Yet, it seems that the all the realm has turned against the newly banding nations.

Explanation of Chaos games:

"This is a game best played by people who feel they have the game all figured out, and they would like some surprises. It is for 1 to 4 human players, 3 allied computer played nations, and 3 more active nations (2 Special Monster and 1 the Independents). It is played on a randomly generated 80 province (medium sized) map with surprises everywhere. Play carefully."

Era: Early

Nations:
Vladikus - Tir n'an Og
LDiCesare - T'ien Ch'i
Lavaere - Helheim

Re: Age of Adventurers - EA [more players needed] (3 Hum. vs 3 AI)
 

If I get it right, this is this an allied game against allied ai's, not a free-for-all against allied ai's?
If so, I'd like to apply as T'ien Ch'i. I can probably play at least once per day.

Re: Age of Adventurers - EA [more players needed] (3 Hum. vs 3 AI)
 

Correct, this a human allied game vs. 3 allied AIs. I'll add you on (unless you change your mind).

Re: Age of Adventurers - EA [need one more player] (3 Hum. vs 3 AI)
 

I play Helheim for your third

Re: Age of Adventurers - EA [need one more player] (3 Hum. vs 3 AI)
 

Good deal.

So to clarify, the settings will be:
PbEM one turn a day

The game will officially end once all human players are defeated or all AI players are destroyed.

The rest of the settings I am going to leave default, unless either you would like something changed. I'm easy going so don't hesitate to ask.

Re: Age of Adventurers - EA [need one more player] (3 Hum. vs 3 AI)
 

are we using CBM otherwise default is fine by me

Re: Age of Adventurers - EA [need one more player] (3 Hum. vs 3 AI)
 

Default's fine. I like renaming allowed even though I don't use it much.

Do you want pbem or use Gandalf's site as hinted in first post? I'm fine with either.

Re: Age of Adventurers - EA [need one more player] (3 Hum. vs 3 AI)
 

Alright, I will go with default settings for now and allow renaming, I'll post as soon as I have set up something with Gandalf. Trying to get an account made for Pbem doing one turn a day, the turns being due at midnight.

If one of you would like to propose a map, we can play on it. If not, we'll probably go with random.

If you'd like go ahead and send your pretenders in.

Re: Age of Adventurers - EA [need one more player] (3 Hum. vs 3 AI)
 

Since the game will run continually it will allow people to directly connect and do turns. But I can setup a pbem in/out for anyone that wants to

Re: Age of Adventurers - EA [need one more player] (3 Hum. vs 3 AI)
 

Yes, the game will be direct connect. Sorry about this.

Re: Age of Adventurers - EA [need one more player] (3 Hum. vs 3 AI)
 

Great! Pretender Guanying has been uploaded.

Re: Age of Adventurers - EA [need one more player] (3 Hum. vs 3 AI)
 

1.) Start Dom3

2.) use Game Tools to create a god to upload
(if you dont already have one) .

3.) go back to main menu

4.) select NETWORK

5.) select Connect to a Dominions Server

6.) enter game.dom3minions.com or the IP number, and hit Ok.
(this would be whatever address for the machine hosting the game)

7.) enter the port number for the game you want to join, (in this case type in 7741) and hit Ok

It plays just like solo play. As soon as you connect, it sends your turn and as soon as you hit end it sends your moves. No need to mess with email unless you really want to

Re: Age of Adventurers - EA [need one more player] (3 Hum. vs 3 AI)
 

In that case Kronus sent. Should be interesting as I've only played PBEM and Hotseat.
Will the turns like autohost, or wait the full 24 hours

Re: Age of Adventurers - EA [started]
 

It looks like they will wait full 24 hours.

Good luck allies.

Re: Age of Adventurers - EA [started]
 

It autohosts.
Looks interesting.
I play T'ien Ch'i and started with abysian soldiers and a flying stealthy demon commander.
And got unrest 66 on turn 2 :(

Re: Age of Adventurers - EA [started]
 

interesting indeed
a Huskarl w/ Archdevil and Ice Elementals

Re: Age of Adventurers - EA [started]
 

Lizard Chariot with turkeys...

How disappointing.

Wow, just judging from the surrounding provinces and the units that are supposedly in them, this is going to be difficult.

Re: Age of Adventurers - EA [started]
 

I'm having trouble connecting to the server. I hope it's temporary.

Re: Age of Adventurers - EA [started]
 

I am too. It might be my fault. I played my turn and it hosted then I tried to go ahead and do my next turn and it froze up. :-\

Re: Age of Adventurers - EA [started]
 

Sometimes (rarely) that happens on the first turn. I restarted it. Try now

Re: Age of Adventurers - EA [started]
 

I managed to play my turn but it seems to be stuck again :(
I almsot retrieved a dwarven hammer. Unfortunately, I only got other goodies, and am besieging a fort.
Don't go to 37 (Muspel). There are no less than 5 ophanim there.

Re: Age of Adventurers - EA [started]
 

Yeah, it froze for me too.

Re: Age of Adventurers - EA [started]
 

If it's a persistent network problem, I think we should try to switch to PBEM. It's slower and a bit cumbersome, but reliable. Or ask Illwinter for help maybe?
I could host the pbem version if Gandalf can't fix the problem and sends me the files.

Re: Age of Adventurers - EA [started]
 

Wow hundreds of games and this has happened maybe once before.
A particular unit seems to put the game into a loop.

I zipped the game and sent it to Johan but the best I can suggest if you dont mind is to send your gods to one of the other chaos games and start that.
http://game.dom3minions.com/bin/Chaos_chk.cgi

Or I can generate one just for you with any settings.

Here is the stuck loop that is filling up the game log:

Re: Age of Adventurers - EA [started]
 

Want to try era 1 chaoticized game chaos_cheery on port 7344 against Abysia, Pangaea, Rlyeh?

http://game.dom3minions.com/bin/Chaos_chk.cgi

Re: Age of Adventurers - EA [started]
 

so we send our pretenders to that one now instead???

Re: Age of Adventurers - EA [started]
 

Yeah.

Re: Age of Adventurers - EA [started]
 

I'll send to the new port.
I was sure those Ophanim were evil.
I didn't even know you could retrieve log infos about what the game was doing. I bet it's some command line option I never read about.

Re: Age of Adventurers - EA [started]
 

too tired and pressed the wrong button, is there a way to reset it

Re: Age of Adventurers - EA [started]
 

Its really hard to reset the game once it has created all the starting info. I can if you really want but its easier just to pick another.

I will make a couple extra so you have more to choose from. :)
It only takes about 2 minutes to generate the map and chaoticize it for each one.

Re: Age of Adventurers - EA [started]
 

era 1 chaoticized game chaos_monarchy on port 7433 with mighty AIs Niefelheim, Hinnom, Oceania allied against you.

;)

Re: Age of Adventurers - EA [started]
 

You still in Lavaere?

Re: Age of Adventurers - EA [started]
 

yup, I'll send now. just been a tad budy

Re: Age of Adventurers - EA [started]
 

Got a Catoblepas as my other commander. So should be able to make some good use out of him. Along with the Blood Stone it had.
As for troops some of Caelums Tempest Guard and Eagle Kings. Now if only I remember what sort of bless I grabbed if any.

On a different note, I though I'd shoot for Construction 2 first. Though without any good researchers at the moment it might take awhile.

Re: Age of Adventurers - EA [started]
 

My other commander is a scout commanding a lot of other scouts, he is equipped with a Black Tower Shield, Bracers of Protection, and Bag of Winds.

I'm on the far left edge of the map, and my Pretender is dormant.


Alright, played my turn, fingers crossed that we don't crash :D

Re: Age of Adventurers - EA [started]
 

Can't wait to be back home to play. Still about 7 or 8 hours left...

Re: Age of Adventurers - EA [started]
 

I'm right in the top left corner myself. I think I may have gone with a dormant one. Maybe I'll load up a test game later on since I've only got the one saved for Helheim at the moment

Re: Age of Adventurers - EA [started]
 

I started in 46, in the middle-east of the map. A black candle spotted north in 63.
I have a Caelian Seraph with a fever fetish (therefore diseased :() to start with. And he leads undead who will die as soon as he leads them on a battlefield for lack of undead leadership. Well, I recruited a death mage.

Re: Age of Adventurers - EA [started]
 

Damn restart. I uploaded the pretender from another computer, and only now do I realise that it must have been a somewhat experimental design. I mean my bless's ok but Misfortune 2 with apparently low Order... It will be hard. What with the event that caused my capital to have 90 unrest. I'm probably not going to try to conquer my first indy province before turn four or five.

Re: Age of Adventurers - EA [started]
 

I don't even know when I'll have enough troops to start, my income is terrible (31 a month), and I am surrounded by wastelands.

I also have high unrest, so I can't recruit.

Re: Age of Adventurers - EA [started]
 

Thankfully my bonus troops have allowed me to take two new regions. Though seeing them each with around 90 unrest ain't very nice.
I'm don't play none CBM games so, any idea when skull mentors turn up. Hopefully when they do. I'll have enough death gems to spot each of us a few of them for use.

Re: Age of Adventurers - EA [started]
 

All my troops patrol and at 30% tax and 87% unrest (yet another bad event) I can't buy new troops either. Well, conjuration will let me summon beasts before I can buy troops.
I could take one province which is not very strongly defended, but if it's got high unrest it's probably a bad idea.
We're going to have a slow start it seems.

Re: Age of Adventurers - EA [started]
 

Hm, the patrolling worked well, I can recruit again, and I think I can probably take a province next turn.

Re: Age of Adventurers - EA [started]
 

Not bad if I say +6 Earth +6 Death per turn, and next turn I'll reach Construction 2. Though gold income is sorely lacking
So I'll start getting to work on forging next turn. Will anyone be needing some armour or something.

Re: Age of Adventurers - EA [started]
 

Alright, got a province, though the losses were pretty steep. My Fir Bolg commander got the crap beat out of him... he's got 3 afflictions and is diseased now. Let's hope the independents aren't aggressive ;)

Re: Age of Adventurers - EA [started]
 

I got one province quite easily and the next one was empty. I saw a third one with little defense and went there. The battle was costly but I won. And then Hinnom came in :(
So Hinnom now controls province 29 (named Special Monsters btw).
I'm going to get conjuration 2 soon, and summoning demons of heavenly rivers (conj3) is my first goal. I also have a lot of fire gems thanks to my fever fetish, so if you need fire gems to forge something, I've got plenty, but I'm using some of them to alchemise to make for the lack of gold.

Re: Age of Adventurers - EA [started]
 

LDiCesare, I don't know what all is around you, but could you take the farms to your northeast... I'm not sure you've probably already thought of that (or it is once of the provinces you took). Unless of course it's especially well defended.

Fortune smiled on me too. Tax collection went well!

Re: Age of Adventurers - EA [started]
 

I could try... but not before three turns (move, reach capital, attack). They're not too strong there, but I have almost no army left.
By the way, if you want to look at my position, password is Horh (not that I intend to reuse that pretender).

Re: Age of Adventurers - EA [started]
 

Vlad I have a scout next to you, and am sending my army towards you to help clear out the regions.
Also I've built the first of 3 Dwarven Hammers. Once ready I'll send one to each of you. After that I was thinking of building Horror Masks

Re: Age of Adventurers - EA [started]
 

Sounds good, I see you up there. I had two bad events (lost 400 in taxes after having had good fortune bah!), so I am slowly rebuilding my army. My pretender should be waking up soon though, and if either of you need air gems I should have a good supply.
