Newbie - Vicious Circle - Recruiting
 

This is a concept in progress. I will firstly state that I am only playing my first MP game and will need some help sorting this game out.

Looking for 6-10 people to play.

I would also like a RAND styled game for newbies, which is basically a no diplomacy styled game. This game does not have to be in that style.

If there is enough interest, I may also attempt to start up a game which follows the RAND concept. (assuming people don't want that style of MP game for this one)

I'm just looking to get a game up and running for those players which would call themselves newbies. If you classify yourself as a newbie, then feel free to join.

Just some general comments before you jump in and say yes.

• I would prefer you take Baalz good player pledge

Re: Newbie - Vicious Circle
 

Count me in. This would also be my first MP game.

Re: Newbie - Vicious Circle
 

count me in, im newbish too... would be my second mp game with more than 2 players and the first is still running^^

Re: Newbie - Vicious Circle
 

I would like to join. I have played a couple of MP games, and subbed into a few, but frankly I suck.

:)

Re: Newbie - Vicious Circle
 

Shiver me timbers and sign me up if ye wish.
I've only been in 2 MP games, in both I played the role of punching bag.
I have, however, played lots and lots of SP games.

Re: Newbie - Vicious Circle
 

Well we have 5 player, so I will still aim for 10 players, but if we only get six players then that is good.

Re: Newbie - Vicious Circle - Recruiting
 

Still looking for a few more newbies before I get this game up and running.

Re: Newbie - Vicious Circle - Recruiting
 

I would like to join also. I have 1-2 MP games from dom2 and 1 from dom3, so I should definitely qualify :)

Re: Newbie - Vicious Circle - Recruiting
 

Not going with the hording-prevention mod BSE?

Re: Newbie - Vicious Circle - Recruiting
 

Sorry Micah, I forgot to update the page. It is a work in progress this game.

I will add that mod on now.

Re: Newbie - Vicious Circle - Recruiting
 

While I understand the what CBM mod is, could someone tell me what this hording-preventation mod is called (unless it's called just that) so that I could go get it?

Re: Newbie - Vicious Circle - Recruiting
 

yeah, i can't find the hording prevention mod on lama sever either

Re: Newbie - Vicious Circle - Recruiting
 

here you guys go- the gem generator banning mod

Re: Newbie - Vicious Circle - Recruiting
 

Thanks Lama, I would still like a few more players, just to get the numbers up.

Re: Newbie - Vicious Circle - Recruiting
 

I will join

Re: Newbie - Vicious Circle - Recruiting
 

I would consider joining....

I am a First Lieutenant but have never played SP and have played about 7 MP games and have never finished one (except to get knocked out).

I did sub the last 10 turns in a noob Vs vets game and we won but it was not due to me as I had a nation with 3 provinces Lol.

What is the no hording Mod? (shows youhow up to date I am) and where can I get it.

I will out of town Thursday thru sunday but will be fine to go Monday if that would fit your schedule.

I ask a lot of queastions (that I really don't understand) is how I got my rank.

If you think I fit the profile let me know...if I don't thats Ok too and I wish you guys luck.

Grudgebringer

Re: Newbie - Vicious Circle - Recruiting
 

If Grudgebringer is allowed to join, we have the number of 8. I think that's enough for a noob game, isn't it?
As i look forward to this game i would feel happy if we could begin now^^

How do we handle the nations?

Re: Newbie - Vicious Circle - Recruiting
 

Still recruiting? This would be my first mp with shrapnel forum folks.

Re: Newbie - Vicious Circle - Recruiting
 

I would be interested as well. This would be my first MP game.

Re: Newbie - Vicious Circle - Recruiting
 

I would like to sign up, this will be my third MP game (the second one I've ever played is in progress).

Re: Newbie - Vicious Circle - Recruiting
 

I have little experience and would be interested. Are we deciding teams? How many more players are you waiting for?

Re: Newbie - Vicious Circle - Recruiting
 

I think we have more than enough now. I will sort it out tomorrow, it is late here.

Re: Newbie - Vicious Circle - Recruiting
 

Hi guys....

I am leaving to play Rugby in Salt Lake tomorrow Morning and will be back late Sunday night without any internet capibility.

I can have my Pretender in Early monday morning if we need to.

Just in case you would need to know I would like to chose ARCO when it comes my turn...its a weak nation and should allay any fears that I am a 'Ringer'.

Thanks and will see you Monday:up:

Re: Newbie - Vicious Circle - Recruiting
 

I don't think people consider Arco as a weak nation. Elephants for early expansion and good magic diversity for solid mid- and end-game.

Re: Newbie - Vicious Circle - Recruiting
 

Hi, I would like play this match, I'm also newbie and this match will be my first MP in Dominons 3.

Re: Newbie - Vicious Circle - Recruiting
 

You have the wrong Era for ARCO As they don't get Elephants in EA. Arco only gets Elephants if it gets the mercs in EA. They can get Mammoths WAY down the research line,but by then they are countered about everywhere.

Your correct, it can be a rush nation in MA or possibly LA but NOT in EA. Its Troops are resource intense and the troops that you start with SUCK for expansion.

Maybe in SP (I have never played SP) they can roll in EA...but my expierience (and it has not been that much), you are hanging on for dear life in EA.

If you think ARCO is a strong nation...then pivk it if you get the chance but remember Arco can't even get clams in this game they are now unique items and I think that hurts Arco as much as anyone. Without using a Clamming barrage then using Astral on your pretender could be useless and it was a necessity before.

Just an opinion...Off to Salt Lake, see ya Monday!!!

Re: Newbie - Vicious Circle - Recruiting
 

BTW, If Arco is gone and its my turn I will take Sauro.

Thanks,

Re: Newbie - Vicious Circle - Recruiting
 

Hi,

I would like to play this game, is it too late for me to join?

Re: Newbie - Vicious Circle - Recruiting
 

Well, at this point I believe more than 10 people have expressed interest. But some may not actually follow through to playing so you never know.

I will be somewhat out of touch until Monday as well. As it happens, I too have been messing with Arco, but I'll go with Helheim as my first choice, then Arco, in order to give GB a chance at his top pick.

Re: Newbie - Vicious Circle - Recruiting
 

I would like to play with Fomoria or Ulm, which ever is free. BSE, when are you planning to launch the game? How/where can I get the hording prevention mod?

Re: Newbie - Vicious Circle - Recruiting
 

I should have known this, as I am currently playing EA arco in the Ghostriders game (perm sub for you actually - do you really have time for a new game?). I just did not play in the expansion phase and have heard a lot of Arco+Elephant mentions, but that must have referred to MA... My bad :doh:

Re: Newbie - Vicious Circle - Recruiting
 

Count me in, it's about time I got a MP game under my belt ^.^

Re: Newbie - Vicious Circle - Recruiting
 

Seems that there are a lot of people wishing to join, so since I have some MP experience already, I can stand down and let someone have my slot here without any hard feelings.

Re: Newbie - Vicious Circle - Recruiting
 

I have exp as well, if we need the spots I will stand down and let others play in my spot

Re: Newbie - Vicious Circle - Recruiting
 

Or, I could just host another newbie game for all the "leftovers." (including myself)

Re: Newbie - Vicious Circle - Recruiting
 

vladikus it's a good idea, but we could wait what has to tell Black Sum Empire before.

Re: Newbie - Vicious Circle - Recruiting
 

Well, he did not say anything a few days now...

Re: Newbie - Vicious Circle - Recruiting
 

I am back from Salt lake (bruised but alive), ready to go whenever you are!!

Re: Newbie - Vicious Circle - Recruiting
 

Yeah, BSE said he'd sort it out 'tomorrow' five days ago.

I'm not sure what's happening there.

Re: Newbie - Vicious Circle - Recruiting
 

I'd be interested; I've been playing SP for a few days now, and would be interested in playing against a different type of intelligence.

Re: Newbie - Vicious Circle - Recruiting
 

Someone should PM him if they know him and see if maybe he has Computer or perhaps work related problems.

If he doesn't answer in 24 hours i suggest we start another game.

There is a vey good map called Darkheavens that is REALLY easy on the eyes and has starting spots and can take up to 17 people.

When your in the mid to late game and your turns are 2 hours a 'easy' on the eyes map is pretty good to have.

Just an opinion:up:

Re: Newbie - Vicious Circle - Recruiting
 

Eveybody keep checking this forum (and those of you tthat have played before also).

lets give it 24 and then decide what we want to do....

This seems to have a lot of intrest so lets don't kill it.

Re: Newbie - Vicious Circle - Recruiting
 

*shows up with torches and pitchforks*

Re: Newbie - Vicious Circle - Recruiting
 

Sorry people, my computer at home is basically ruined. It is having what I think is a motherboard problem. The only access to the net is via my work computer and playing a game at work is not exactly allowed.

Sorry about the problems, I will attempt to sort something out asap. If you want to gather all these people together and start one yourself, feel free.

Once again, sorry for the problems.

Re: Newbie - Vicious Circle - Recruiting
 

Well guys, what do you want to do? I could Start a new one with almost the same settings (not crazy about the 100 multiplier as I think it will throw the balance off on some nations).

I also would need some help on admin as I(in spite of my rank) really havn't had that much exp in MP.

Looks like we have a good group so if your still interested you can PM me or leave a message here and we can get it going.

Black Sun....not trying to hijack your game, and of course your welcome and by the time this gets up in a couple of days you may be able to join.

Anyone that wants to help (OR actually do the duties of ADMIN is WELCOME!!)

Re: Newbie - Vicious Circle - Recruiting
 

I don't mind who is going to host the game, I just want to begin. How about someone with the skill will set up a game with people already signed up for this one? I'm still short of an answer about the "hording prevention mod".. anyone?

Re: Newbie - Vicious Circle - Recruiting
 

I think in a noob game it doesn't really matter, but in a VET game its a BIG thing

Re: Newbie - Vicious Circle - Recruiting
 

I doubt a newb game will last long enough for clamspam to be a major problem. Anyone going to start a game on Llamaserver?

Re: Newbie - Vicious Circle - Recruiting
 

I suggest you guys start a new thread. Also take me off the list, I don't think I'm going to have much internet access next month.
