I'd like to join this one too. The MA one is fun to play, at least for the moment ;)

Re: End of Time 3 - Random Nation LA game, recruiting

Re: End of Time 3 - Random Nation LA game, recruiting
 

I'd like to join.

This would be my first game here, but I've played quite a lot of SP and several (smaller) games with friends before.

Re: End of Time 3 - Random Nation LA game, recruiting
 

i too would like to join- i have never MP before but i have 1 1/2 SP games under my belt. I am very new but i don't mind getting my *** handed to me in th ename of learning.

I would also ask that the turns take slightly longer for the first 2 turns so those of us that are really new can get a feeling for how to submit turns and use the server and stuff like that without freaking out.

Immac.

Please keep in mind when designing your pretenders that you should first download the Conceptual Balance 1.6 mod from here:
http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/showthread.php?t=43949

Make sure the mod is on when you design your pretender, as some values are changed and a non-CB made pretender may not work once we get started.

Welcome to the newer players. Immaculate, to respond to your concerns, the first few turns are really, really short, so you probably won't need any time. The llamaserver is very easy to use. You can go here:

and scroll to the bottom to read the faq.

Re: End of Time 3 - CB LA Game, seeking 2-4 more players
 

I would like to try for this one.

Re: End of Time 3 - CB LA Game, seeking 2-4 more players
 

I would like to play. I'm new to multiplayer on here, but have played SP extensively and a few games of MP with friends. I do know how to use llamaserver though.

Re: End of Time 3 - CB LA Game, seeking 2-4 more players
 

I'm interested in this game, count me in

Re: End of Time 3 - CB LA Game, seeking 2-4 more players
 

Mearlande - Tien Chi
Deathjester - Utgard
Ishamoridin - Man

With that I am going to close the game. I will shortly post an announcement when the game is set up on the llamaserver. You will then be able to send your pretenders in to pretenders [at] llamaserver [dot] net. Importantly, you must have "EndofTime3" in the subject of your email.

Don't forget to use CB 1.6 when creating your pretender. Try to have your pretender in in the next 48 hours so we can get started.

See you all in the game!

Re: End of Time 3 - Send in pretenders
 

Ok, the game is set up and the llamaserver is ready to receive pretenders. We'll be using the "Cradle of Dominions" map. Good luck.

Re: End of Time 3 - Send in pretenders
 

Okay, pretender uploaded.
I've never played Caelum (or even met an AI caelum yet in my SP games) so it was a bit of guesswork but hopefully it will work :)

Immac.

Re: End of Time 3 - Send in pretenders
 

You may want to look under the strategy index thread on the main page at LA Caelum strats... you can always send in an updated pretender if you change your mind, no rush.

Re: End of Time 3 - Send in pretenders
 

Don't worry, I am just plain horrible with Ulm. They do not fit my style at all. But at least I have played a few blood nations recently, so I think I am okay.

Re: End of Time 3 - Send in pretenders
 

You said 10-12 players - can I still join in?

Re: End of Time 3 - Send in pretenders
 

Thanks for the interest, Ossa. Unfortunately, i've already set up the game, and many pretenders have been sent in, so I can't easily hold open a spot for you. Sorry.

Re: End of Time 3 - Send in pretenders
 

Only two players are left to submit their pretenders...?

Re: End of Time 3 - Send in pretenders
 

I'll have mine this morning. I was tested a couple dozen variations and I'm finally happy.

Re: End of Time 3 - Send in pretenders
 

I got to say i really agonized over pretender design and i talked to someone i know through these forums that i trust a bit and got their advice. I'm not sure i am completely happy with mine, but it sure seems like an important decision.

Re: End of Time 3 - Running
 

And we are off. First time playing Utgard, SP or MP. Should be interesting.

Good luck everyone and may the best pretender win! :viking:

Re: End of Time 3 - Running
 

It seems like the independents are weaker then i played in my solo games. Did i get strange scouting results or can the independents be weaker in multiplayer games?

Re: End of Time 3 - Running
 

The independent settings are at normal.... of course, variations can happen, and/or scouts returning odd reports.

Re: End of Time 3 - Running
 

The Ermorian legion has started it's march. Well, in a turn or so anyway. Do not stand in our way, it'll just bolster our strength...

Immaculate: Don't worry too much, one of my first (if not my first one) MP game was with LA Caelum also. They were fun to play with, but I didn't get too far with them. It's a complicated nation ;). Still, you only learn by playing.

Game on.

Re: End of Time 3 - Running
 

Heh, first time I've used LA Man so I've also got a learning experience ahead of me :P

Re: End of Time 3 - Running
 

Did Jamon's god die?

Re: End of Time 3 - Running
 

It's good to be a giant, even though my starting position was not great. How is everyone else doing?

Immaculate: Jomon's pretender dead? Why would you think that?

Re: End of Time 3 - Running
 

the hall of fame.

Re: End of Time 3 - Running
 

Well, he/she has died once, that is for sure. Question is, is Jomon still dead?

Re: End of Time 3 - Running
 

Hey,

I bumped a neighbour. Would the neighbour kindly check Private messages? :) I'm Tien Chi btw.

Cheers.

Re: End of Time 3 - Running
 

I sent a message via PM on this website but its not showing up in my 'sent mail' box... If someone got mail from me, please respond... if not... i'm not sure what i'll do.

i.

Re: End of Time 3 - Running
 

Shrapnel Forums doesn't save sent mail automatically from what I remember, so don't worry. You pm should've gone through.

Re: End of Time 3 - Running
 

I'm disappointed at my lack of neighbours =/

Ah well, more Indies for me ^.^

Re: End of Time 3 - Running
 

Won't you please be my nieghbour?

Re: End of Time 3 - Running
 

Heck all I have are neighbors, take some of mine. I have like 5 of them, and I have a feeling that I am soon just going to be watching this game..

However, Mother has arrived, so you all might want to be a little careful around Ulm now. :)

Re: End of Time 3 - Running
 

Well the turn after saying that, I found three neighbours, so never mind...

Re: End of Time 3 - Running
 

hehehe... I got 4 neighbors and they all hate me. :)

<sob>

Re: End of Time 3 - Running
 

I, Nebechadnezar, Emporer of T'ien Ch'i, send greetings to my honorable neighbours.

I am having some trouble controlling the zeal of my barbarian tribesman so I suggest you keep out of their way. They will continue to pillage the pathetic independent hordes. I apologize to those of my neighbours that have been victims of their zeal. I will do my best to restrain thema and keep peace on my borders.

Sincerely,

Nebechadnezar, Emporer of T'ien Ch'i, Celestial Ruler, Righteous Leader, and all around nice guy.

Re: End of Time 3 - Running
 

Can we get a turn extension please?

Re: End of Time 3 - Running
 

Shouldn't be a problem... but you still have 16 hours to do your turn... how much longer do you need?

Re: End of Time 3 - Running
 

I had time this morning after all... sorry for the confusion.

Re: End of Time 3 - Running
 

Well, that was fun.

I am going AI- i just lost all my generals:

Anyway, like i said, good game.
Tien'Chi totally schooled me- i hope next time i can last a bit longer.

Immac.

Re: End of Time 3 - Running
 

Interesting. Enjoy your next games :)

Re: End of Time 3 - Running
 

Ouch. Sorry to hear that. Well, seems like Tien Chi is a rising power if Caelum falls..

Re: End of Time 3 - Running
 

I, Nebechadnezar, Emporer of T'ien Ch'i wish to clear up a misunderstanding. Our troops were simply regaining ancestral lands. They will soon return to garrisons in our cities. It is regretable that all the lords of Caelum fell in a single early rout.

Re: End of Time 3 - Running
 

I would encourage everyone to stay in until they are literally out of the game... it can make a big difference to the people around your opponent whether you call it a game before your main castle is taken, or whether you stick it out and prepare as many nasty surprises as possible for when the storm the castle =)

That being said, if there is literally nothing for you to do, I understand if you'd rather go AI.
