Libra - GAME OVER - Casual EA CBM with various other mods
 

Game Specs:
------

- Early Age

- Map: Land of Milk and Honey by elmokki

- Game status page goes here.

- Llamaserver starting on 36 hour Quickhost and going up from there as needed. This is a causal game, so I want people to take their time if they have to. Because of the lax hosting schedule, I would hope none of you would need delays for the first year or so at least, but they will be given out as requested. Turn reminders will be sent out 12 hours from hosting time instead of 6. If you can't play anymore or feel like you want to quit, do your best to line up a sub please.

- 12 Players: 10 land, 2 Water. All slots are now filled.

- Mods:
-- Single Age Mod :click:
-- Special Libra compilation mod by Burnsaber :click:

- Settings: All default. Renaming on.

- Victory conditions: On turn 60, all remaining players will take a vote here. Vote here for who you think should be named winner or post with an Abstain if you want the game to continue. No voting for yourself. I'll declare the game finished if we can get a nation with a majority of the remaining players' votes. If we can't get a majority, the game continues and we repeat the process on turn 100. If there are only 2 nations left, whoever gets the other guy to surrender first wins.

-- The game is now over, Atlantis wins!

- Diplomacy policy: Treaties are not unbreakable, so all you have to trust is the other nation's word. However, diplomacy and planning must be done by in-game messages, representing the time it takes to deliver a message by the means available. Magic isn't infallible as anyone who has given any mage a specific script knows.

Re: Libra - Recruiting! - Casual EA CBM with various other mods
 

I would like to play in this as Lanka.

Re: Libra - Recruiting! - Casual EA CBM with various other mods
 

I'd go for Helheim

Re: Libra - Recruiting! - Casual EA CBM with various other mods
 

I'll take Ulm.

Re: Libra - Recruiting! - Casual EA CBM with various other mods
 

I´d like to join as Agartha

Re: Libra - Recruiting! - Casual EA CBM with various other mods
 

Go on then, count me in. Dunno what nation yet - by the way, are mod nations likely to be allowed?

Re: Libra - Recruiting! - Casual EA CBM with various other mods
 

I'll take Sauro. However, Canadian Thanksgiving coming up next weekend and I'll be out of town for 3 days or so. If this is an issue I can sit this one out.

Re: Libra - Recruiting! - Casual EA CBM with various other mods
 

I'll take R'lyeh

Re: Libra - Recruiting! - Casual EA CBM with various other mods
 

Greg: Sorry, but I'd rather not put mod nations in this game.

Fakey: That probably won't be a problem. Like I said, I hand out extensions as needed, so you won't be left out. I can just set it up so that we don't start until after your vacation.

Re: Libra - Recruiting! - Casual EA CBM with various other mods
 

I'll take abysia

Re: Libra - Recruiting! - Casual EA CBM with various other mods
 

I am interested as well, taking tien chi. However I will be going on vacation as well so you can classify me as tentative. Will you be using the cpcs mod too?

Re: Libra - Recruiting! - Casual EA CBM with various other mods
 

I'll take Atlantis. By the way, the Underwater Gameplay Enhancement Mod and CBM give different costs for things depending on which one is enabled first. Perhaps a compilation mod would be in order?

Re: Libra - Recruiting! - Casual EA CBM with various other mods
 

Shard: Yes I did mean to include CPCS as well. It just slipped my mind when I was writing the starting post.

Kianduatha: Mods activated later take precedence right? So if I just paste UWGIM into CBM 1.6 after it ends, Conflicts will go in favor of UWGIM?

Re: Libra - Recruiting! - Casual EA CBM with various other mods
 

Put me down for Niefel - it's time I tried a giant nation that isn't Fomoria.

Re: Libra - One Slot Left! - Casual EA CBM with various other mods
 

If there is still an opening, I would like to try Kailasa.

Thanks.

Re: Libra - One Slot Left! - Casual EA CBM with various other mods
 

Starshine: I think that's the way it works, but I've never created a compilation mod before so I'm not entirely sure.

One more obnoxious conflict I've seen is that the UWGIM takes away the coral priest recruit. That would be fine, normally, but CBM 1.6 also made the coral priest into Atlantis' most cost efficient researcher by a fair margin.

Re: Libra - One Slot Left! - Casual EA CBM with various other mods
 

The Coral Priest has been replaced by the Coral Shaman that you can recruit in coastal forts. Though they've been removed from underwater forts, their research and initial cost is now about on par with your Mages of the Deep, but the Shamans are also priests and consequently sacred. Therefore, they are still your most cost effective researchers in coastal forts. They're also an inexpensive way into Astral and Nature for you, so I don't think that its really problem if you can get an early Coastal fort. If you're still not satisfied, then cross your fingers for an early Library.


On a different note, let's have some suggestions for a map. I was thinking of using elmokki's Land of Milk and Honey, but if you guys have any other suggestions, I'm all ears.

Re: Libra - Closed! - Casual EA CBM with various other mods
 

Looks very nice!

Re: Libra - Closed! - Casual EA CBM with various other mods
 

I like the look of that map too.

Re: Libra - Closed! - Casual EA CBM with various other mods
 

It looks pretty. I'd be happy to play on it.

Re: Libra - Closed! - Casual EA CBM with various other mods
 

Shiny pretty map... I like the Shiny Pretty map.

Re: Libra - Closed! - Casual EA CBM with various other mods
 

Okay, Land of Milk and Honey it is.

Burnsaber has pointed out to me a few problems regarding llamaserver and UWGIM, specifically with R'lyeh. It's easily fixed, but it means I'll have to host this game as Single age. The Single Age mod can be found here for those of you that don't already have it.

No asking to change your choice of nation to a MA or LA nation now that the game is technically Single Age, but if you're having second thoughts, feel free to change to another EA nation before we get the llamaserver page set up. Just make sure that there is still 10 land and 2 water nations at the end.

Re: Libra - Closed! - Casual EA CBM with various other mods
 

Whats the issue?

Re: Libra - Closed! - Casual EA CBM with various other mods
 

the same one we had with early days. UGIM makes EA ryleh an MA nation, so the game has to be single age

Re: Libra - Closed! - Casual EA CBM with various other mods
 

If you could switch me to marveni it would be much appreciated.

Thank you!

Re: Libra - Closed! - Casual EA CBM with various other mods
 

Actually it's the other way around. It makes MA R'lyeh into EA R'lyeh. But because the new EA R'lyeh has a nation number belonging to MA nation in vanilla, it causes some confusion with llamaserver.

The complimation mod is under works, I'll post it today after some testing, because I have to do some EA Atlantis tweaks.

Re: Libra - Closed! - Casual EA CBM with various other mods
 

You're awesome Burnsaber <3

Re: Libra - Closed! - Casual EA CBM with various other mods
 

I know.

Anyways. Attached to this post is the mod complimation for the Libra-MP game. Contains CBM 1.6, UWGIM EA 0.84, Holy War 0.9, CPCS 0.8 and Endoz magic site mod.

Be sure to have the Single-age mod enabled when making your pretender. Also, R'lyeh player should take notice that the game will name the pretender you make as "mid_rlyeh", just send that and things will roll smoothly.

If anyone notices any bugs or problems, just contact me. Also, all feedback is appreciated (if you don't wish to reveal stuff that might be useful to your opponents, you can PM me with the feedback).

Re: Libra - Closed! - Casual EA CBM with various other mods
 

Game is now up on Llamaserver under Libra1. (I mucked up on making the original game and had to delete it)

Send your pretenders to pretenders[at]llamaserver[dot]net and make sure to include Libra1 in the subject line.

Re: Libra - Accepting Pretenders! - Casual EA CBM with various other mods
 

Bump. We only have 7 pretenders sent in so far, keep them coming!

Re: Libra - Accepting Pretenders! - Casual EA CBM with various other mods
 

I sent in my pretender without enabling single age mod. When i tried to enable the mod to recreate my pretender, EA Lanka does not appear on the list of nations......What am I doing wrong?

Re: Libra - Accepting Pretenders! - Casual EA CBM with various other mods
 

How far down did you look? Lanka for some reason doesn't hang around with the other EA nations in the Single Age Mod, probably because of the nation number. It's actually down at the waaay bottom of the LA list.

Re: Libra - Accepting Pretenders! - Casual EA CBM with various other mods
 

Okay...now whenever I open a game of dominions, or try to create a pretender god or alter mod preferences, single age mod is automatically enabled, and trying to get in a game causes the whole game to shut down with no error message. The only way I can play dominions is to delete single age mod from my mod folder.

Any suggestions? I am sorry for holding up the game so long.

Re: Libra - Accepting Pretenders! - Casual EA CBM with various other mods
 

I'm not sure why the game is shutting down on you, but you know that the game starts up with the mods that were enabled during the last game you played. You sure it doesn't just disable when you disable it in Mod Preferences? I don't know what might be doing that.

As for shutting down, I'm not sure, but do you have all of the component mods from the Libra compilation downloaded? If you don't, it could be whats causing that, but I'm almost sure it'd at least give you an error message.

Re: Libra - Accepting Pretenders! - Casual EA CBM with various other mods
 

Don't worry about holding up the game, I'll be gone all weekend and requested that we don't start until at least monday.

Re: Libra - Accepting Pretenders! - Casual EA CBM with various other mods
 

Yeah when I try to click "mod preferences" the game just shuts down without any error message. Same thing happens when I start any saved game or new game. I deleted single age mod from the mod folder, and everything worked again. This weekend while waiting on fakey i will reinstall everything, including possibly dominions, and see if i can make it work. if not you may have to find another player.

Re: Libra - Accepting Pretenders! - Casual EA CBM with various other mods
 

That's quite normal. The mods that were in used in the last game you played will be automatically on "enabled" status when you start the game.

Okay, that's not normal. No error message? That's odd. Well the 'good news' is that you are the only player experiencing these problems, so that means it must be tied to your system.

Have you tried re-downloading the single-age mod? If that doesn't work, reinstalling Dom3 should do the trick (just be sure to have the possession of the CD and the CD-key before doing that).

Re: Libra - Accepting Pretenders! - Casual EA CBM with various other mods
 

The only one that needs to send in their pretender now is Shard, though he said he was vacationing as well. I'd be willing to wait until Wednesday for him if the rest of you all are.

Also, are you still having problems Alpine Joe?

Re: Libra - Accepting Pretenders! - Casual EA CBM with various other mods
 

I fully reinstalled and re-patched dominions, downloaded all the mods, and the same issue keeps happening with single age mod.

Unless anyone has any other ideas, i'm afraid i will have to bow out of this and you will need to find another player. Sorry about the inconvenience. I had a really good idea for a Lanka strategy too :mad:

Re: Libra - Accepting Pretenders! - Casual EA CBM with various other mods
 

Sorry to hear that Joe. I really don't have any other ideas, but I hope whatever it is, it gets fixed soon.

So with Alpine Joe bowing out, we now have one more Land slot to fill. First come first served, though since Burnsaber has been such a help to this game already, he gets the slot if he wants it.

Re: Libra - Accepting Pretenders! - Casual EA CBM with various other mods
 

Sorry, but I'm in my maximum at the moment. I'll just watch this from the sidelines.

Re: Libra - Accepting Pretenders! - Casual EA CBM with various other mods
 

I presume you mean you downloaded Burnsaber's mod and Single Age?

Re: Libra - One more slot! - Casual EA CBM with various other mods
 

We only have 10 out of 12 Pretenders now. We're still looking for one more, as well as waiting for Shard's Tien C'hi. However, we still haven't received word back from Shard in this thread. I'll PM him and see what he's up to, but with this map, I'm still perfectly comfortable with just 10 or 11 nations instead of 12.

So, if Shard is still on vacation like he said, who here has a problem with it being just the 10 of us then?

Re: Libra - One more slot! - Casual EA CBM with various other mods
 

Not I.

Re: Libra - One more slot! - Casual EA CBM with various other mods
 

Me either

Re: Libra - One more slot! - Casual EA CBM with various other mods
 

Hi! I would like to join as Mictlan. Give me a few hours to get a pretender up and running.

Re: Libra - Running - Casual EA CBM with various other mods
 

Well, looks like we managed to get all 12 anyway. Awesome! Game starts... Now. Good luck!

Re: Libra - Running - Casual EA CBM with various other mods
 

i'll be flying across the pacific today - i'd like to request a 48hr delay though it shuoldnt take that long, thanks

Re: Libra - Running - Casual EA CBM with various other mods
 

Hey, I'd like to request that we turn off forcehosting thursday through monday, as I may be unable to use a computer for periods of time falling in there.

Re: Libra - Running - Casual EA CBM with various other mods
 

Hey, starshine_monarch. I'd like you to delay, but if you can't, i'm going to stale again and will probably just go ai.
