now does anyone have any thoughts on what map to use? I do like the alexander map they are using in the other game but if anyone has any other suggestions I would be glad to hear them.

edit. a lot of new faces onboard good to see you all and hope you have fun playing MP dominions

Re: New EA Rich game, Eden (Needs one more player)
 

If you use Alexander, you may want to tweak water starts a bit, one is really weaker probably :)

I am considering about using very diff research in next Utopia [LA].

Re: New EA Rich game, Eden (Needs one more player)
 

What about Asia_Twist?
I feel myself a bit tired of Alexander. :(

Re: New EA Rich game, Eden (Needs one more player)
 

Hi,

i just realized that i'm unsure about standard rules & cheating, being kind of a newbie and all. I mean, apparently with cheating you mean some tactics or misuse of the game engine?

Is there a FAQ or some other thread i should see about these?

Re: New EA Rich game, Eden (Needs one more player)
 

Hmm I cannot find any thread that details what is and what is not considered Cheating but the general highlights are

*Charming/enslaving bogarus and copying his attack commander orders
*Sickle farming (using the sickle whose crop is pain and an ally casting weak summon spells at the unit using it to farm death gems)
*Flooding an enemies lab with slave collars or some other useless item
*Attacking me :p

Also as for standard rules generally means that if you make any diplomatic deals with your fellow players you will be expected to keep them. Now there is nothing formal to stop you from breaking any deal you make but it will likely affect your reputation in the future.

Re: New EA Rich game, Eden (Needs one more player)
 

Ok,

that's clear to me.

Re: New EA Rich game, Eden (upload pretenders)
 

Turning your commanders into undead via life after death/ankh is also considered cheating/exploit. I am going to write down all those rules and hopefully it will be a sticky :)

Re: New EA Rich game, Eden (upload pretenders)
 

Do I understand properly that we play vanilla, no CBM, and other mods?

Re: New EA Rich game, Eden (upload pretenders)
 

Wait what? I thought this was CBM?

Re: New EA Rich game, Eden (upload pretenders)
 

It says in the first post of the thread that the CBM mod is being used.

Re: New EA Rich game, Eden (upload pretenders)
 

I thought CBM as well. Did my pretender with CBM.

Hurmio

Re: New EA Rich game, Eden (upload pretenders)
 

Where to upload pretenders to ? Is game already created? Could you give me url (with url, port)?

Re: New EA Rich game, Eden (upload pretenders)
 

And a few more questions:

NAP/alliances - brakable/not?
Trading?
Offgame communications allowed/not?
Other rules?

Re: New EA Rich game, Eden (upload pretenders)
 

Assuming this game is like 90% of the other games currently running, we will use llamaserver. There is an FAQ here. Since it is PBEM there is no need for URL or port #s. Ferrosol will most likely tell us when the game is up so we can submit pretenders.

Generally, it is considered poor etiquette to break NAPs or alliances w/out following procedures, but there is nothing that can be done to you about it. Simply know that your reputation may suffer.

Trading is usually allowed, at least so far as gems/items go. Trading provinces, especially VPs, is a very controversial subject, and should probably be avoided simply to prevent the thread becoming a flamefest.

Most people prefer to conduct diplomacy and such using forum PMs, or occasionally the IRC channel, since the in-game message system has numerous faults. Absent any specific statement regarding this area, I assume this is allowed in this game.

As for other things to know, I suppose informing you about some common exploits to avoid is in order. If you charm Bogus and Co. you may not copy their orders to other commanders, though you may use them with Bogus and Co. You may not use the spell Life after Death or the Ankh to create hordes of upkeep free priests and/or mages. You should also not "sickle farm", by having an ally cast weak remote attack spells at a thug of yours holding the Sickle Whose Crop is Pain for loads of D gems. These are the most common ones that occur to me, but others may add their own, and as Ferrosol stated, go ahead and ask him if you have a question.

Re: New EA Rich game, Eden (upload pretenders)
 

right game is up on the llamaserver its up as EdenEA due to the fact that llama does not like four letter words :) if you need help on how to use the llamaserver check out the sticky at the top of this forum.

Re: New EA Rich game, Eden (upload pretenders)
 

Out of curiosity, why are sickle/ankh farming considered exploits? I've used/seen them used in several games, and never considered them foul.

I'm not contesting their designation as exploits in this game, or trying to start a flame war. Just curious about what sets them apart.

Re: New EA Rich game, Eden (upload pretenders)
 

Well, they don't really bother me that much, but they're what I've seen people complain about.

Re: New EA Rich game, Eden (upload pretenders)
 

It's just a hidden income, and it's D income. You risk almost nothing, just some minor micro, to get guaranteed 30D a turn. More than Well of Misery.

Re: New EA Rich game, Eden (upload pretenders)
 

So, it looks like we are just missing Atlantis and their fearsome pretender.

Re: New EA Rich game, Eden (upload pretenders)
 

Where can I get the proper map? I took some Alexander I found o forums, but I'm not sure it's the same...

Re: New EA Rich game, Eden (Game On)
 

hmm just waiting for Lanka get a move on trumanator! :)

Re: New EA Rich game, Eden (Game On)
 

Oops, I could have sworn that I sent it in...

Re: New EA Rich game, Eden (Game On)
 

Delayed hosting by 24 hours as Aspophos requsted. For future refrence I am fairly liberal on granting extensions and will change hosting time to 48 hours when the majority are ready for it.

Re: New EA Rich game, Eden (Game On)
 

I was away longer than expected.
I still staled, though. It will be funny trying to survive with 3 provinces and two foreign forces next to my capital.
Not that I expected to do particularly well in this game anyway, so no real consequence except maybe a small present to my neighbours.

Re: New EA Rich game, Eden (Game On)
 

A note to my neighbors. I am going to be sending troops to my border provinces for the purposes of patrolling, and defense. I am in a highly defensible area, with few entrance points, and will be making use of that fact.

Yomi

Re: New EA Rich game, Eden (Game On)
 

We're going to have to show Yomi how much better poison archers are than shortbows.

Re: New EA Rich game, Eden (Game On)
 

Wait, is Yomi at war with Sauromatia?

Re: New EA Rich game, Eden (Game On)
 

Yomi started a vicious sneak attack this turn.

Re: New EA Rich game, Eden (Game On)
 

We will see about that. ;)

Yomi vs Sauromatia should be an interesting match up.

Re: New EA Rich game, Eden (Game On)
 

Is Ferros. administers the game? Need email change +turn resend.

Re: New EA Rich game, Eden (Game On)
 

not needed anymore..but the fact that I didn't get any reply makes me think that I could stall this time without making move.
