LA: Noobs and Strangeness (Running)
Game settings:
Age: LA starting provinces:1 independent strength: 5 site frequency: 55 Money/resources/supply 100 random events: common hall of fame: 15 standard research Banned nations: Ermor, R'lyeh Mods: CBM 1.6 max players 10 Map: Shahrivar. can be found here: http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/showp...4&postcount=33 Victory is concession or when one player owns the entire map. Diplomacy is considered binding. Hosting intervals will be 24 hours for the first 10 turns, 48 hours after that, 72 hours only if it becomes necessary. Nations will be assigned on a first come first serve basis. (I pick Bogarus) This game is generally just a game for noob to intermediate players, and you are encouraged to use a non-standard, strange, or just funny strategy rather than a practical one. If you've thought up something weird or fun to do, but it wouldn't be competitive in a normal game, feel free to try it here. Markata thugs and such are welcome. If you are a noob-intermediate and just want some more experience in an LA game, feel free to come as you are. vets may join as well, but a vet who joins MUST be using an oddball strategy, whereas noobs and intermediates can play how they like. I just don't want a vet or intermediate to come in here, play Ermor, and crush us all.(in fact, Ermor and R'lyeh are banned, just cause they aren't fun to fight. this game is about fun.) Nations already claimed: Bogarus - Melnorjr C'tis - Viccio Midgård - Quitti Abysia - Juffos Marignon - Alpine Joe Patala - Maerlande Agartha - Rtyffg Pythium - Kietsensei Ulm - Mardagg Gath - Pelthin |
Re: LA: Noobs and Strangeness
i'm interested to play with C'tis
also my friend is interested in playing with Bogarus, now I say that I've written |
Re: LA: Noobs and Strangeness
viccio! glad to have you. C'tis is yours.
My apologies to your friend, but I mentioned in the opening post that I picked Bogarus already. I should have made it more clear rather than sticking that in the middle of a paragraph somewhere. |
Re: LA: Noobs and Strangeness
While I realize that I'm not a newbie, it'd be somewhat dubious to call me a "vet" since I don't seem to win any of my MP games (usually finish up to the top5), I'd like to join. Won't be doing a powerhouse build though, got some interesting ideas going on. So, if you are willing to take me into the game, I'd like to play Midgård.

Re: LA: Noobs and Strangeness
Talking wacky builds, how many provinces per player are you planning? I've done some strange builds that need a bit of space to work. Tight maps are not good for them.
|
Re: LA: Noobs and Strangeness
I would like to try something new with Abysia, if allowed.

Quitti, Juffos, glad to have you. editing in your nation choices. As long as you aren't using a classic build Juffos. I'm just a bit wary of your experience. :) |
Re: LA: Noobs and Strangeness
Heh, I want to see what Juffos cooks up... Also, could we go with a tad higher magic sites than 45? It'd be a bit easier for new players to get into magic business earlier that way, not to mention that there are all sorts of fun sites seeded around more that way. I don't mind either way, but it'd make the game a bit more fun (not to mention that those pesky air sites might even be found somewhere).

55 agreeable? I've no objections, and I suppose since we are using CBM 1.6, high sites might make up for no gem gens. If somebody seconds your request, or if nobody objects by tomorrow, I'll change it. |
Re: LA: Noobs and Strangeness
55 is good, I could play even with the current 45 but setting them higher also encourages the newer players to spend the gems since they will be gaining some more of them, instead of stockpiling their meager incomes... I personally hate the extremely low sites (20-30) games, since magic is a very big part of dominions that I like to build stuff around.
|
Re: LA: Noobs and Strangeness
I don't oppose increasing magic site frequency. More gems means more fun and action :)

Re: LA: Noobs and Strangeness
I would like in this game with an unconventional LA marignon strategy. I support increasing the magic site value as well.

And editing in Alpine Joe marignon to the opening post. |
Re: LA: Noobs and Strangeness

4 slots left. Could be ready for pretenders within a day or two at this rate. |
Re: LA: Noobs and Strangeness
Would like to join as Agartha. Haven't played them before and feel myself betveen new and intermediate overall.
|
Re: LA: Noobs and Strangeness
Greetings
I would like to play a Pythium |
Ulm please.
This would be my first Dom3 MP game,besides some hot seat games. I was a Dom2 vet though. I am curious about a different Ulm BF Strat i just tried out...dont think its good...but should be fun:) |
Re: LA: Noobs and Strangeness
Could I try Gath?
Thanks. |
Re: LA: Noobs and Strangeness
Adding you all in. That's ten. I'm going to go for an about 15 province per player map - looks like shahrivar stands a good chance. If anybody has specific requests though, feel free to link me to it and I'll take a look.
|
Re: LA: Noobs and Strangeness
The game is ready. Please submit pretenders. the game name is Noobs_and_Strangeness and it's on Llamaserver
|
Re: LA: Noobs and Strangeness (Awaiting Pretenders)
What does diplomacy binding mean?
Example, if I make a NAP I must set a time frame? Otherwise it's forever? |
Re: LA: Noobs and Strangeness (Awaiting Pretenders)
If you agree to a NAP with someone, you can break it. If no duration has been specified, it can be broken instantly and attacked on the next turn. Otherwise it'd be an all-binding alliance which make absolutely no sense in a game like Dominions 3.
|
Re: LA: Noobs and Strangeness (Awaiting Pretenders)
Diplomacy binding means that if you agree to a Non aggression pact for x number of turns, you can't attack till those turns are up, or until a specified turn has been reached, or whatever you agree to. if you agree to an indefinite Non aggression pact with a 2 or 3 turn warning when you go to break it - give that warning before you attack.
If you agree to something vague like "We wont attack each other for a while" well then, you can break that whenever you feel like it with no warning, cause it doesn't say otherwise), and 'a while' is subjective(though if you turn around and attack immediately, your online reputation might suffer, but that's nothing to do with this game). any pact that is not specific is interpreted as subjective and able to be broken when you feel like it. Basically it means that if you agree to something, you are expected to follow through with it. |
Re: LA: Noobs and Strangeness (Awaiting Pretenders)
By the way can someone give me the link to download the map please?
|
Re: LA: Noobs and Strangeness (Awaiting Pretenders)
|
Re: LA: Noobs and Strangeness (Awaiting Pretenders)
Sorry, I should have put that in the OP. let me edit that in...
|
Re: LA: Noobs and Strangeness (Awaiting Pretenders)
Marignon still missing the Pretender.
Whats taking Alpine Joe so long there? Bogarus also missing,but i assume you are waiting for Marignon Melnorjr? Lets not wait too long there,otherwise people might lose interest in this game. |
Re: LA: Noobs and Strangeness (Awaiting Pretenders)
Sorry guys i am having some serious problems with dominions the last few days. I will try to get my pretender in tonight if i can resolve things, if not, feel free to find a replacement.
|
Re: LA: Noobs and Strangeness (Awaiting Pretenders)
Sorry for the delay. Just sent my pretender in, so we should be starting very soon.
|
Re: LA: Noobs and Strangeness (Awaiting Pretenders)
Looks to me like llamaserver is set to 48 hours. Weren't we going to go 24 at first?
|
Re: LA: Noobs and Strangeness (Awaiting Pretenders)
Turn 1 is always 48 hours, to give players time to realize the game is started or something I guess. It's a llamaserver thing.
|
Re: LA: Noobs and Strangeness (Awaiting Pretenders)
Ahh, okay rdonj. I didn't know that.
|
Re: LA: Noobs and Strangeness (Awaiting Pretenders)
turn 2 is up btw,nice.
gl to everyone. |
Re: LA: Noobs and Strangeness (Awaiting Pretenders)
I will be away for this week end and thus would like a 24h delay. I may be able to do my turn on sunday but just to be sure the 24h will make me feel safer
|
Re: LA: Noobs and Strangeness (Running)
Sorry for the slow reply, but delay granted. No need for staling this early. Just get it in when you can.
|
Re: LA: Noobs and Strangeness (Running)
Bnupa, Destroyer of Patala wishes to speak to his newly discovered neighbours this turn. Please check your private messages. I am hoping to connect with you before turn submission.
Regards, Bnupa |
Re: LA: Noobs and Strangeness (Running)
Hail Bnupa,
We are contacting you ingame this turn. P.S.: I didnt receive any private message from you. |
Re: LA: Noobs and Strangeness (Running)
Hail Mardagg,
We have sent our diplomats to negotiate with our Authority. Regards, Bnupa |
Re: LA: Noobs and Strangeness (Running)
Thanks for letting us all know you two are allied now. :p
|
Re: LA: Noobs and Strangeness (Running)
Yes well, noob mistake :)
|
Re: LA: Noobs and Strangeness (Running)
turn interval has been changed to 48 hours pursuant to the OP.
|
Re: LA: Noobs and Strangeness (Running)
looks like Llamaserver is down for quite some time now,it doesnt accept my turn file.
I really dont want to stale bc of this:( |
Re: LA: Noobs and Strangeness (Running)
I think if anyone stalls we need to rollback, as it is not fair to the stalling folks. :)
|
Re: LA: Noobs and Strangeness (Running)
Usually llamabeast adds 24/48 hours to the hosting timers when llamaserver is down for reason or another, so no staling (usually) occurs because of that.
Still, true, if staling occurs (due the server being offline) we should rollback a turn. |
Re: LA: Noobs and Strangeness (Running)
Yes, I've no problem with a rollback if there is a stale due to server problems.
|
Re: LA: Noobs and Strangeness (Running)
Oh, just attack me already.
:p I've been watching you build up armies on my border for 5 turns. :fight: |
Re: LA: Noobs and Strangeness (Running)
Ulm is defending.
1. Ulm did send a messenger. 2. Bogarus didnt answer. 3. Sneaking Bogari scum is violating our borders on a regular basis and awakening our attention. 4. Soon.Maybe.Or not. |
Re: LA: Noobs and Strangeness (Running)
Maybe the messenger got lost - I didn't see a message. Suppose I could have just missed it. If you want to be sure I'll get the messae, PM me on here.
