Great Forum, game running
 

Hi!

Looking for players for an MA game. Since my previous idea didnt proved to be quite popular, I throw in my new one:

map: the land of loemendor (not the scenario one), but will depend on interest, so to be determined.

hosting: on lamaserver, 24 hrs initially with great tolerance to holidays and bigger intervals later as usual.

hof: 15

victory: consensus

mods:
-worthy heroes 1.9 and cbm 1.6 (http://www.nakido.com/F34858CD7ABF0A...2C6385DFE4F151)
-edm 1.1 (http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/showthread.php?t=45056)
-mark of the champion (http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/showthread.php?t=41087)

renaming on

special:
- In this part of the world gossip spreads with the wind, even the walls has ears: any communication, diplomacy, negotiation so any in-game talk must be done here on the forum. No PMing, skyping, emailing etc is allowed about the game. U can still talk about and make any agreements, but everyone will know about it.
roleplaying is encouraged, but not mandatory.
- The admin of the game will list the existing NAPs here in this post, and will keep it updated.

I'm open to suggestions.

mscfish : pangaea defeated
yonz : ermor defeated
bvg : shinuyama

Re: Ma game: Great Forum, recruiting
 

I'd like sign in this game with pan

Re: Ma game: Great Forum, recruiting
 

I'd like to sign up as ermor if you don't mind having an inexperienced player in the game

Re: Ma game: Great Forum, recruiting
 

not at all, welcome!

Re: Ma game: Great Forum, recruiting
 

I like this idea, Bandar Log

Re: Ma game: Great Forum, recruiting
 

Hello

If new players are accepted, I would like to join this game with MA Ulm !

Arnob

Re: Ma game: Great Forum, recruiting
 

I'll play Man

Re: Ma game: Great Forum, recruiting
 

I'll try Jotun

Re: Ma game: Great Forum, recruiting
 

I could join in as well.. my plan was to play with Man but Baalz got them first. I'll try to figure out an alternative if thats ok with you?

My final choice is Machaka

Re: Ma game: Great Forum, recruiting
 

M-may I play R'lyeh? *pretty please!*

Re: Ma game: Great Forum, recruiting
 

Hello,
I would like to join, as Vanheim if it is ok. This would be my fifth mp game (Rattlehead, Let's Try Again, both finished, right now Master Blaster as an almost dead sub and Cyberrand3 with other french players). So not completely a newbie, but not at all a good player.

Re: Ma game: Great Forum, recruiting
 

it seems we are rounding out the limit, u can start to upload your pretenders.

the link for worthy heroes 1.9 doesnt seem to work now, could any of u provide one?

Re: MA game: Great Forum, deciding on map
 

before creating the game (so no uploading yet), i wuold like to ask, whether u prefer to have the special provinces or not, and whether the loemendor map would be ok for everybody. it will be a little packed with 15 provinces per nation.
I think it will be cool.

Re: MA game: Great Forum, deciding on map
 

Well, I'm always in favor of a wrap-around map for the sake of balance, but this map has lots of ports and land bridges so it looks pretty good too.

I would definitely vote against the specials though as, like you said, it will be pretty crowded already without super-strong indies fencing us in. :)

Re: MA game: Great Forum, deciding on map
 

The map is fine for me. I do not have preferences about the special sites.
I would like to get a few days (This weekend if possible, at least saturday) before sending pretender. I have never played the nation I choose and it would be nice to get some time to prepare.

Re: MA game: Great Forum, deciding on map
 

The map seems fine for me too and I gree that we are too many for the special sites

Arnob

Re: MA game: Great Forum, deciding on map
 

I will be away for the weekend, so the game wont start before monday.

No special sites then.

Re: MA game: Great Forum, deciding on map
 

game created.

Re: MA game: Great Forum, uploading pretenders
 

It is impossible to get the Worthy Heroes 1.9 mod (The 1.8 version is included in CBM 1.6 ?).

Re: MA game: Great Forum, uploading pretenders
 

I finally get the mod at the previous address with installing a small application from the website, probably a spyware... I hope no big deal.

Is diplomacy fully free, with the duty to only post on this thread ? I mean could we write something like : Hey Vanheim What about attacking the C'tis right now, we need to get rid of this little *** !

Re: MA game: Great Forum, uploading pretenders
 

Would you be so kind as to upload the mod to a site such as megaupload.com? It requires no installation of proprietary programs, nor deploys many banner ads.

As for the question-- I suspect it is not only allowed, but encouraged. Especially if one puts a flavorful flair on the proposal.

"It seems we've intercepted the errant dream of a Vanjarl, in addition to mead and swords, it would appear that he was slighted in his youth by a female C'tissian falchioner. I choose not to let this vivid psychological trauma go unpunished, and would care to invite the the rest of noble Vanheim to join me."

Re: MA game: Great Forum, uploading pretenders
 

Thanks, this link actually works.

Re: MA game: Great Forum, uploading pretenders
 

can someone tell me if CBM complete edition (found in the official thread) is fine? WH is a part of it as far as i know

Re: MA game: Great Forum, uploading pretenders
 

Hi

Since Pyg seems to be unavailable (see other forum, I would like to be in the game in his stead. If that's ok for everybody?

I do have the mods and the map installed. All I'd need is a pretender, I guess?

Re: MA game: Great Forum, uploading pretenders
 

Hi!

I'm finally back from the county. BvG you are in, send in pretender. Which faction is so fortunate to be directed by you?

Re: MA game: Great Forum, uploading pretenders
 

Oh I thought it's mandatory to take them japanese goblins, as pyg had them. Therefore I made thoughts for that. I'm preparing a pretender for Shinuyama now.

Re: MA game: Great Forum, uploading pretenders
 

I've sent my pretender now for 5 times..It still doesn't show on the server.

I made the pretender with right mods (CBM 1.6+WH1.9 combo, endgamediversity and mark of the champion)and sent the file to pretenders@llamaserver.net with the subject: Great_Forum

What do I do wrong?

Is it possible to get a separate version of worthy heroes 1.9? just to check, if the combo file fails somehow.

Sorry for the delay, not intentioned.

Re: MA game: Great Forum, uploading pretenders
 

Llamaserver doesn't check mods until the game starts AFAIK, so it's unlikely to be that.

Re: MA game: Great Forum, uploading pretenders
 

I am not sure but both the package Worthy Heroes+CBM and CBM may cause problems (Probably not the one you get, which looks more like a mail issue).

Mistakes I have made you may want to check : Wrong era, wrong file. Maybe wrong game version (3.24) and a misterious issue of mail address being refused by the game server...

Re: MA game: Great Forum, uploading pretenders
 

I'll check all of these tonight. Thanks for the input!

Re: MA game: Great Forum, uploading pretenders
 

:eek: I am last.

I'll have my pretender sent in a few hours!

Re: MA game: Great Forum, uploading pretenders
 

I have installed all three mods listed in the OP, but the thing won't launch. it says it's missing a mod called CB_complete1.6.dm. I keep getting the same message even if I enable CBM complete as found in the official thread, so I dunno why this is happenning. any helpful suggestions would be appreciated.

is it possible that some other mods I have could be causing trouble?

Re: MA game: Great Forum, uploading pretenders
 

On my mod directory I have a CBcomplete_1.6.dm. I test to delete it and to load again the file from llamaserver and I have the same error as you.

Maybe if you download this file from http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/showthread.php?t=43949, that will work ?

Arnob

Re: MA game: Great Forum, uploading pretenders
 

checked the folder, it really didn't have the file with that name in it. the closest approximation would be cbm_1-6_complete.dm, which is what you get if you install cbm as found in the thread you linked. I am at a loss here, people. :/

Re: MA game: Great Forum, uploading pretenders
 

I just check the link and the file include in the zip is "CBcomplete_1.6.dm" not "cbm_1-6_complete.dm"

Or maybe if you rename your "cbm_1-6_complete.dm" into "CBcomplete_1.6.dm" ?

Arnob

Re: MA game: Great Forum, uploading pretenders
 

Actually on this game I have cbm 1.6 and Worthy heroes 1.9+cbm 1.6 automatically enabled. The turn 1 enables both. That is like 2 times the same but I hope it will not cause issues...

Re: MA game: Great Forum, uploading pretenders
 

Yonz, have u managed to solve the problems?

I changed the reminder from 6 to 9hrs, because it is now longer then usual sleep-interval.

Re: MA game: Great Forum, uploading pretenders
 

Do someone know if starting positions are completely random provinces, or predefined, or anything else ? I am too lazy to try out myself.

I will try to write small notes and make screenshots on a regularly basis in order to make a simple AAR in a while (maybe soon if I am beated out, or with a great gap with the game pace, or anything, I do not know yet). That is just an idea I got when I signed in. I will need motivation (Not a lot but enough to write a few words and make some screenshots each time I will play...). We'll see.

Re: MA game: Great Forum, uploading pretenders
 

it's working now, but I don't have the map. can someone link it please?

Re: MA game: Great Forum, uploading pretenders
 

I use this one : http://dom3maps.wikidot.com/system:loemendor

Re: MA game: Great Forum, uploading pretenders
 

Re: MA game: Great Forum, uploading pretenders
 

I have a question about victory conditions (since it's my first e-mail game) : What's the 5 small crowns I see on the map ? Do we need to conquier this crowns in order to win the game ?

Arnob

Re: MA game: Great Forum, uploading pretenders
 

no, it was an option to play for those points, but now victor is determined by consensus.

Re: MA game: Great Forum, uploading pretenders
 

thanks earcaraxe and arnob, with your help I've just sent in my first turn. :)
love the map, it's nice to see it's not wraparound once for a change (I know it's less balanced that way, but at least you don't have any trouble orienting yourself :))

Re: MA game: Great Forum, uploading pretenders
 

sorry for the wait guys, my first turn is on the way...

Re: MA game: Great Forum, uploading pretenders
 

Re: MA game: Great Forum, uploading pretenders
 

On this game (Warthog), they active both WH19 and CBM16. It's not the case with our game since only WH19 are activated (with cbm16 included inside). So I think we will not have the problem mention on this post ?

Map: Sharivar_nosites
Mods: Conceptual Balance 1.6 Complete, End Game Diversity 1.1, worthy heroes 1.9

Re: MA game: Great Forum, uploading pretenders
 

i'm quite sure cbm 1.6 is redundant there, i tested it a couple times.

Re: MA game: Great Forum, uploading pretenders
 

Sure it is redundant (and may cause issues, I do not know).

I thought we had CBM in addition of WH+CBM on our game, but I do not have Dom3 installed right now in my office. So if there is only WH, it is ok, my post was useless.
