EA Land nations Only... Game Name: Landlubber:
 

Game Started....SEND IN PRETENDERS

I would like players that either have taken 'The Good Player Pledge' or have the ability to play 'to the bitter end'.

We will be starting with 24 Hour turn intervals until I start getting requests to make them longer...(but I want to stress this game WILL give liberal extensions to keep anyone from staling if possible)

Nations & Players

Ulm -Augusti
Arco -GrudgeBringer
Marverni -ghoul31
Yomi -Tollund
Argatha -Squirrelloid
C'tis -Dark Kitty
Ermor -RadiaGibbon
Kalisia -Stattis
Tir-a-Nog -Apsophos
Abysia -Frozen Lama

We will be using the Shariver Map by Sombre 168 land and 12 water provinces. (Link will be up shortly)

There will be NO water expansion or entering the water for any reason.

We are using CBM 1.6

Frozen Lama just put up a CORRECTED link to the map in the game forum and I have one at the bottom of the page.

The Name of the game is officially Landlubber

Re: Recruiting EA Land nations Only
 

I will take Arco

Re: Recruiting EA Land nations Only
 

oh geez. you took arco? what? madness!

Aby

Re: Recruiting EA Land nations Only
 

I'll play Yomi.

Re: Recruiting EA Land nations Only
 

Oh hell, give me Agartha. In a set of 'weak' nations (although i really question that designation for some of these) its not going to be nearly as bad as it would otherwise be, so they might actually make a go of it. This is the best chance to play them in MP I'm going to get! =)

Re: Recruiting EA Land nations Only
 

I'd like to play Tir Na Nog, please.

Re: Recruiting EA Land nations Only
 

I'll take Kailasa

Re: Recruiting EA Land nations Only
 

Marverni

Re: Recruiting EA Land nations Only
 

I would like C'tis please

Re: Recruiting EA Land nations Only
 

I'd like to play Ulm, please.

Re: Recruiting EA Land nations Only
 

You know, I'd probably rate EA Ermor the best of the nations up there. Its hilarious it will be the last taken. =)

Re: Recruiting EA Land nations Only
 

After thinking long and hard I'd like to go with Ermor please.

Re: Recruiting EA Land nations Only
 

C'tis for me, please :)

Re: Recruiting EA Land nations Only
 

That nation is already taken. See some post above.

Re: Recruiting EA Land nations Only
 

Ah, blasted. I just read the OP, should have checked the posts too.

Maybe next time :)

Re: Recruiting EA Land nations Only
 

Already free places don´t stay, maybe in another occasion.

Re: Recruiting EA Land nations Only
 

Not to make you feel dumb or anything GB, but you can jsut copy-paste from the PM i sent you.

http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/showp...54&postcount=1

scroll down a little and the map is there.

Re: Recruiting EA Land nations Only
 

My wife said the same thing....

However here is what it does when I copy and paste.

As you see the link isn't there and for some reason I can't EVER copy a Hyperlink.

She says my computer is whacked but Its brand new and supposedly ( I am somewhat computer challenged) the biggest and baddest (sigh):sick:

Re: Recruiting EA Land nations Only
 

LOL, never thought of getting out of the screen for it to work...

NOW, I DO feel stupid:(

Re: Recruiting EA Land nations Only
 

But MY link doesn't work...yours does, ahhh heck with it, use Lama's:p

Re: Recruiting EA Land nations Only
 

Try this. Right click on the link. Select the option "copy link location". You should then be able to paste the link properly. If this for some reason still doesn't work for you, if you hit reply or try to quote someone's post you can see the whole link written out. Copy that and there is absolutely no reason it shouldn't work.

Re: EA Land nations Only... Game Name: Landlubber:
 

OK, I am ready to create the game.

Do we want 10 or 15 HOF?

Treaties: If you want them binding, put them in the Forum. No Crying if you have not listed them and get stabbed in the back.

CBM Complete 1.6

No one may enter water provinces AT ALL (replaces "you can hide in the water but can't take provinces"), a number of folks wanted either all or none...I chose NONE so that no one with water access could build up and stay in the water untouched.

Graphs on

All other default.

Anyone have any other suggestions...if not I will create the game by morning

Re: EA Land nations Only... Game Name: Landlubber:
 

I don't understand why water provinces are that big a deal. CBM 1.6 makes it *really easy* to enter the water, and its not like agartha is the only nation of these that has an easy time of it. (C'tissian undead hordes come to mind as a really easy way to get UW, or Dai Oni with something to let it breathe). Games without water nations are rather common, and rarely are water provinces made such a big deal of.

Re: EA Land nations Only... Game Name: Landlubber:
 

I believe it is more something that GB wanted to test out, not necesarily that it will change the game hugely. it is his game, and if that's how he wants it, deal with it please.

Re: EA Land nations Only... Game Name: Landlubber:
 

Oh, I won't be prepared to play this game until next Wednesday. If that doesn't work, take me out of the roster please.

Er yes, that sounds like it won't work. I'm sorry! Last minute travel plans.

Re: EA Land nations Only... Game Name: Landlubber:
 

does that mean a week from tomorrow?

Re: EA Land nations Only... Game Name: Landlubber:
 

Anticipatient,

I'm sorry you can't play this one!!

Glad to see you back though. Have a good trip and we will see you when you get back.


I will contact the other 2 players that showed interest and see if they would want to play.

And FL was correct, I wanted this game to be a land only game.

Actually, I wanted MORE water as barriers (like mountains) and to make you forge items to get across the water as you can't go in it at all (even to sneak attack). But decided to Use Shariver as the map is very nice and the 'pond' may give me an idea of what I was looking for without restricting the game too much.

I will contact Jarkos and the other guy...will keep you informed.

Re: EA Land nations Only... Game Name: Landlubber:
 

ok i must revise the link. the original version by Sombre had some very unbalanced sites preset. this link is from the MP game Shariver. download the .zip file at the bottom. this means that anyone who has already downloaded the map must still go and DOWNLOAD THE FOLLOWING LINK!

Re: EA Land nations Only... Game Name: Landlubber:
 

I apologize for gumming up the works and probably slowing the game down a little. Have fun, you guys :)

Re: EA Land nations Only... Game Name: Landlubber:
 

I'll take over for anticipant if you like. I'll even take Ctis;)

Re: EA Land nations Only... Game Name: Landlubber:
 

Hmmm...

Total inability to enter the water would make for a more interesting game on a different map. I agree the map is pretty (and I like playing on pretty maps), but all the water as a big mass doesn't really do all that much interesting with geography, and doesn't permit sailing to really be used at all.

Something like Urraparand (obviously something smaller, but still) would make water an interesting 'unenterable' feature rather than just spaces arbitrarily removed from the map.

Re: EA Land nations Only... Game Name: Landlubber:
 

I agree but I have had so much positive feedback on this map that I just said "fine" and will try it. Its just an idea I have wanted to try anyway.


BTW, In vicious circle are you going to attack sauro with hinnom and Helheim or would you be interested in staying neutral (something BIG is about to happen which may benefit you) and perhaps come in on his side?

This is just between us (my word), just want your position as everyone has quit talking, and usually that's a bad sign!!

You really got screwed in VvN...geeez what a mess!!

Re: EA Land nations Only... Game Name: Landlubber:
 

We are full agian...

Dark Kitty will take over C'tis effective NOW.

There has been a motion to change the map to another one that the NO ebtering the water would be more benificial.

If there isn't any other comment we will go with Shariver and get started.

If we want to change the map, lets get it done.:up:

Re: EA Land nations Only... Game Name: Landlubber:
 

GB. democracy only works so well. its been long enough. just make the game please. if squirrelloid still has an issue with your preference regarding the water he can sit this one out and we can find someone else.

Re: EA Land nations Only... Game Name: Landlubber:
 

I don't see any problem with the water issue and i'm ready to send the pretender :)

Re: EA Land nations Only... Game Name: Landlubber:
 

That was a bit snippy, especially considering my comment was that the game rule would be more interesting with a different map, not that it was necessarily a bad restriction.

If you want to flame me, come do it on IRC =p

Anyway, since I seem to be the only one who cares, lets just get going.

Re: EA Land nations Only... Game Name: Landlubber:
 

after having talked on IRC, its been settled. i declare PEACE! gb- feel free to start the game

Re: EA Land nations Only... Game Name: Landlubber:
 

Its snowing like crazy here...I will shovel the walk and then create the game.

Start working on pretenders and remember it is CBM 1.6

I iwll have it up within the hour:up:

Re: EA Land nations Only... Game Name: Landlubber:
 

Game is up and ready for Pretenders

name of game is Landlubber

Re: EA Land nations Only... Game Name: Landlubber:
 

little glitch. you set it as middle age. no worries, i fixed it, but just in case anyone besides me had their god rejected, it is now fixed

Re: EA Land nations Only... Game Name: Landlubber:
 

LOL, I deleted it and set up a new game...I had 2 glitches (thats what I get for listening to my wife as I am trying to set up a game!!)

Re: EA Land nations Only... Game Name: Landlubber:
 

well i had fixed it.... but ok. i even figured out which version of shariver to use. should be all good now

Re: EA Land nations Only... Game Name: Landlubber:
 

My pretender is in too, sorry for the waiting, I had a hard time choosing my pretender:)

Re: EA Land nations Only... Game Name: Landlubber:
 

ok first turn sent. everything looks good, so hopefully all goes well

Re: EA Land nations Only... Game Name: Landlubber:
 

I need a 12 hour delay. I am out of town today.

Re: EA Land nations Only... Game Name: Landlubber:
 

12 Hr delay for Ghoul

Re: EA Land nations Only... Game Name: Landlubber:
 

i should mention- this map is the version without the uber discount sites and indie mages. it still has some nice lvl 0 magic sites that provide good gems. they are usually easily apparent on the map by the artwork

Re: EA Land nations Only... Game Name: Landlubber:
 

12 hour extension granted Argatha per request

Re: EA Land nations Only... Game Name: Landlubber:
 

Will trade for a Thistle Mace. Inquire with the Agarthan ambassador to negotiate a price.

Re: EA Land nations Only... Game Name: Landlubber:
 

Grudge here...what will you trade for a thistle mace?
