Aquamarine EA CBM Game Running
 

Hi Everyone, i am trying to get a new EA Game Started

It would be hosted on llamaserver

Age: Early Age
Game Settings: Everything standard, except HoF 15
Map: Alexander
Mods: CBM
Players: as much as possible
Pace: first ~24 turns on 24h quickhost, then 48h quickhost until at least turn 50, after that extension to 72h by majority vote.

If you join this game, it is expected of you that you play it to the end, or find a sub that takes over for you. It is not needed that you sign the good players pledge, but you have to act like you did.

Please vote on the Map when you sign up, you may also propose other maps, as long as they are wraparound and about the same size.

Nations:

Abysia: RabbitDynamite
Arcoscephale: Ironhawk
Atlantis: Phonics
Caelum: Jazzepi
C'tis: aaminoff
Eriu: Tam-Lin
Fomoria: Fantomen
Helheim: Iron Duke
Lanka: Alpine Joe
Marverni: iainuki
Mictlan: shard
Nifelheim: Ossa
Pangaea: statttis
R'lyeh: Ishamoridin
Sauromatia: Dimaz
Ulm: otthegreat
Vanheim: viccio
Yomi: Hadrian-II

Re: Aquamarine EA CBM Game recruiting
 

In as Lanka until the end!

Re: Aquamarine EA CBM Game recruiting
 

ARCO for me (as usual):up:

Re: Aquamarine EA CBM Game recruiting
 

Sauromatia please, map not important.

Re: Aquamarine EA CBM Game recruiting
 

I'd like in on this one, helheim for me, map alexander.

Re: Aquamarine EA CBM Game recruiting
 

After thinking about map choice for a while, I will cast a vote for Orania.

Re: Aquamarine EA CBM Game recruiting
 

I'd like the Niefels

Re: Aquamarine EA CBM Game recruiting
 

I'd be interested in playing Eriu.

Re: Aquamarine EA CBM Game recruiting
 

I have asked to keep Hinnom out of the Game.

The answer was (and rightfully so), its up to us if we want that nation out.

If you have an opinion on whether Hinnom should be let in the game please speak up and vote.:up:

Re: Aquamarine EA CBM Game recruiting
 

I also agree with Alpine Joe on the Map...In order of preference

1. Oriana

2. Asia Twist... I was in the original game and the map I have says Asia Twist with ports (is that the one you are talking about).

Re: Aquamarine EA CBM Game recruiting
 

I´d like Fomoria. I vote for Asia twist or Alexander.

Re: Aquamarine EA CBM Game recruiting
 

yes, asia twist would be the variant with ports

Re: Aquamarine EA CBM Game recruiting
 

I'll join as Caelum. Vote for Orania, though I don't care much which map you choose.

Re: Aquamarine EA CBM Game recruiting
 

Er, change that to Pangaea. I want to try some ideas I had after reading the latest guide.

Re: Aquamarine EA CBM Game recruiting
 

I read that guide too Statttis....

You beat me too changing my nation. After you play this tell me about what and how you did it please.:up:

Grudge

Re: Aquamarine EA CBM Game recruiting
 

I would like to join in as C'tis. The Alexander map looks very cool, I'll vote for that.

Re: Aquamarine EA CBM Game recruiting
 

I'm in as Mictlan

I vote for Alexander, I've never played that map

Re: Aquamarine EA CBM Game recruiting
 

If Possible i play with Vanheim and i vote for Alexander

Re: Aquamarine EA CBM Game recruiting
 

Marverni, since Fomoria is taken.

I've never played those maps before, so I haven't really developed preferences, but I'd like something large enough to have a decent chunk of provinces/player?

Re: Aquamarine EA CBM Game recruiting
 

In as Abysia. No preference for map yet.

Re: Aquamarine EA CBM Game recruiting
 

all maps have around 300 provinces.

i think i will wait one more day for signups, and then open the game on llamaserver. Also i wont tolerate a single water nation, as it would have it to easy beyond the waves, so if you sing on as a water nation please give an alternate pick.

Re: Aquamarine EA CBM Game recruiting
 

I'll try Ulm. Vote for Asia Twist because I've never played on it before.

Re: Aquamarine EA CBM Game recruiting
 

I'll take Caelum.

Jazzepi

Re: Aquamarine EA CBM Game recruiting
 

I'll jump in as R'lyeh

No map preference (provided there's a decent water mass)

Re: Aquamarine EA CBM Game recruiting
 

Ishamodidan...

No water nations are allowed (see above), you might want to get an alternate selection in while there is a nation you like.:up:

Re: Aquamarine EA CBM Game recruiting
 

it is not no water nations, it is no or at least 2 water nations, so if someone else picks a water nation Ishamoridin can play Rlyeh.

Re: Aquamarine EA CBM Game recruiting
 

If you're willing to take a newbie into the game I'd be intrested in playing Atlantis or if thats not avaible, Ermor.

Re: Aquamarine EA CBM Game Upload Pretenders
 

Atlantis is ok, so we have 2 water nations, and they are both in.

Alexander got the most votes, so i created the game on it.

I intend to start the game on Wednesday evening so please try to upload your pretenders until then

Re: Aquamarine EA CBM Game Upload Pretenders
 

You still taking signups? I'll take TC if you are, no worries if you're not.

Re: Aquamarine EA CBM Game Upload Pretenders
 

Woah, a game with Baalz. I say come on in, the game hasn't started yet.

Re: Aquamarine EA CBM Game Upload Pretenders
 

This one is actually kinda packed on second glance, I'll just start a new one.

Re: Aquamarine EA CBM Game Upload Pretenders
 

added streamers and standards for grudgebringer

Re: Aquamarine EA CBM Game Upload Pretenders
 

Just three pretenders to go, get them in already!

Re: Aquamarine EA CBM Game Upload Pretenders
 

I'll have mine in tonight! Spent all yesterday own in Cincinnati.

Jazzepi

Re: Aquamarine EA CBM Game Upload Pretenders
 

i counted 18 pretenders for 18 players, so the game is on.

good luck everybody

Re: Aquamarine EA CBM Game Upload Pretenders
 

I hate to disrupt the game, but I'd like to point out that I don't have LlamaBanners installed, I said so and was told before the game started that this would not be a problem, but when I attempted to load the first turn file, the game told me that I had to have LlamaBanners installed. So. I hate LlamaBanners and am not overly inclined to install it especially since I would have withdrawn from the game if it was clear that LlamaBanners would be required before the first turn. If there is a workaround, I can use that, but I'm not aware of it. Otherwise, I see two options: restart the game (Does the game have to be set without using LlamaBanners so that people who want to use it, can? I don't know. Squirrelloid said that this seemed to work in Water Total War, where LlamaBanners was not included as part of the game settings.) or to figure out a way to withdraw without disrupting the game. I don't like this situation, but I don't see any other way to handle it.

Re: Aquamarine EA CBM Game Upload Pretenders
 

I just reviewed the WTW game thread, and the discussion re:llamabanners that I remember is not part of that thread. I'm sure I saw someone claim somewhere that it was an individual choice on whether to use it or not, but at this point I can't track down that discussion.

That said, given Iainuki's dilemma, the logical assumption is that it has to not be hosted with llamabanners included to work. Someone should test this... I'd be willing to try with llamabanners on a non-llamabanners game to see if it works. Alternately, I, and the discussion I remember, are flat out wrong about how it functions, and I apologize for the confusion caused. (It really should be able to function without being serverside, its a fricking graphics mod).

Re: Aquamarine EA CBM Game Upload Pretenders
 

Is there a chance that you just have to have it D/L but NOT enabled?

It sounds like he doesn't have it D/l at all.:confused:

Re: Aquamarine EA CBM Game Upload Pretenders
 

I dont see how it is possible to have mod enabled only for one player, as mods are tied to the game.

Also as the mod does not change anything, i did not think that it had to be approved by everyone, Also, why did you not protest, when i announced that we would use streamers and standards?

Re: Aquamarine EA CBM Game Upload Pretenders
 

I have a way to fix the mod: I altered the .dm file to remove the lines that actually replace the flags. Unfortunately, I don't know if the server will reject my turn file because of this. I can try it and find out. If that doesn't work, I might be able to replace the flag images, but unfortunately I don't have the original flag images so I would need someone's help getting them. I will try playing and sending in the turn file, if LlamaServer rejects it I will have to look at some other option; but I want to be certain I won't stale if I'm actually going to play this game.

Re: Aquamarine EA CBM Game Upload Pretenders
 

I'm really sorry :(. I thought I had, but I had my games crossed. (ViciousCircle3 was facing this exact same issue at the same time, so I forgot to mention it here as well.) I have now made a change to my copy of LlamaBanners: since the mod is cosmetic, I hope that it will not cause problems. I submitted my turn, and LlamaServer told me it is ok. I hope that it will go through and I won't stale; I'm looking into making a test game to be certain. I've also sent a PM to Gregstrom (mentioned in ViciousCircle3's thread) to check that my quick changes will do all right.

Re: Aquamarine EA CBM Game Upload Pretenders
 

And another update: I ran my altered version of the mod in a test game on Llamaserver. The turn passed with no problems, so I think it's good unless I run into problems. I have my fingers crossed and my turn file submitted, so we'll see.

Re: Aquamarine EA CBM Game Upload Pretenders
 

Huh - not sure how I missed this game starting. I guess sign me up as an alternate if someone has to drop out.

Re: Aquamarine EA CBM Game Upload Pretenders
 

thx, it is always nice to have a sub already ready

Re: Aquamarine EA CBM Game Upload Pretenders
 

GrudgeBringer got in contact with me and asked me to take over his nation permanently since he's going to be in and out for the next three weeks and didnt want to interrupt the game too much. Hadrian, hopefully he's PM'd you about this? I'll PM you my email in a second now too...

Re: Aquamarine EA CBM Game Upload Pretenders
 

ok, you should be now in control of arcoscephale

Re: Aquamarine EA CBM Game Upload Pretenders
 

Yep, I am. Playing the turn now...

Re: Aquamarine EA CBM Game Upload Pretenders
 

What the hell? I thought the hosting would take place about 12 hours, instead I get a new turn file saying that I staled? That SUCKED! I still can't believe I did that. I remember clearly that the turn would be played at 8something am 10th.. Damn...

Re: Aquamarine EA CBM Game Upload Pretenders
 

Ah bummer :( But at least the game is early - losing a turn at this stage isnt bad. Especially when compared to a mid or late game turn where you are probably involved in a war.

Re: Aquamarine EA CBM Game Upload Pretenders
 

I'd gladly have a lost turn instead of what happened to me :(
