Re: NewbsGoneWild: Uninhibited amateur action! All ages, CBM 1.71 [Recruiting]
 

I'd like to join this game as EA R'yleh if that's ok. Just one question, what port is this game using, since I couldn't find it on the list of games on the server?

Re: NewbsGoneWild: Uninhibited amateur action! All ages, CBM 1.71 [Recruiting]
 

I'll PM the port number to you, feel free to upload your pretender whenever.

Oops, you don't have private messages enabled. Might wanna do that since diplomacy is often conducted via PMs on the forums due to the relative ease compared to ingame messages.

Re: NewbsGoneWild: Uninhibited amateur action! All ages, CBM 1.71 [Recruiting]
 

Right, I've enabled them now.

Re: NewbsGoneWild: Uninhibited amateur action! All ages, CBM 1.71 [Recruiting]
 

If you are using the canonical Aran I suggest 150% money.

possibly 150% prod+supplies

I believe the map even mentions this itself, now.

Also potentially higher magic sites. with no hammers you may need a little extra.

Re: NewbsGoneWild: Uninhibited amateur action! All ages, CBM 1.71 [Recruiting]
 

I guess I could switch it to parganos if aran seems to have too many wastelands, it could suck to be stuck with them. I'm aware of the CBM 1.7 changes and the magic site rate is intentional.

Re: NewbsGoneWild: Uninhibited amateur action! All ages, CBM 1.71 [Recruiting]
 

I think I'd prefer Parganos, but I'm playing a water nation so I may be biased. ;)

Re: NewbsGoneWild: Uninhibited amateur action! All ages, CBM 1.71 [Recruiting]
 

Haha, I'm fine with that, although another water nation joining the fray may cramp your style.

I'm not gonna restart the server itself with the new map yet, just to see if other people who join also agree with the decision or have other input. I will change the description to llama's parganos map, however. We obviously won't be using the dead seas version, no matter how amusing of a start that would be.

Re: NewbsGoneWild: Uninhibited amateur action! All ages, CBM 1.71 [Recruiting]
 

I'll play. MA C'tis if you don't mind.

Re: NewbsGoneWild: Uninhibited amateur action! All ages, CBM 1.71 [Recruiting]
 

Alright, 5 to go.

Re: NewbsGoneWild: Uninhibited amateur action! All ages, CBM 1.71 [Recruiting]
 

Can I be EA Hinnom? This'll be my first ever MP game, erp. Looking forward to it! :D

Re: NewbsGoneWild: Uninhibited amateur action! All ages, CBM 1.71 [Recruiting]
 

Sure... I hope I'm eaten first.

Re: NewbsGoneWild: Uninhibited amateur action! All ages, CBM 1.71 [Recruiting]
 

I'd like to play LA Bogarus. Would be my second game :)

Re: NewbsGoneWild: Uninhibited amateur action! All ages, CBM 1.71 [Recruiting]
 

Gotcha, 3 to go. I've never looked at the bogarus units before.. Your nation is damn creepy.

Re: NewbsGoneWild: Uninhibited amateur action! All ages, CBM 1.71 [Recruiting]
 

ill take on EA Fomoria, this being my 4th mp game of dominions 3.

Re: NewbsGoneWild: Uninhibited amateur action! All ages, CBM 1.71 [Recruiting]
 

freepower, could you enable private messages? It's both for the minor sending of the port number but also for conducting diplomacy throughout the game.

Re: NewbsGoneWild: Uninhibited amateur action! All ages, CBM 1.71 [Recruiting]
 

If you're still looking for players, I'd like to take EA Vanheim out for a spin.

This is my 3rd game, and I didn't last very long in the first two.

Re: NewbsGoneWild: Uninhibited amateur action! All ages, CBM 1.71 [Recruiting]
 

Ok, one more slot to go.

Re: NewbsGoneWild: Uninhibited amateur action! All ages, CBM 1.71 [Recruiting]
 

MA Pythium please.

Re: NewbsGoneWild: Uninhibited amateur action! All ages, CBM 1.71 [Recruiting]
 

Ok, all slots filled! Everyone has had the port number PMed except freepower, so I'll send that once he enables them. Everyone go ahead and upload your pretenders

Re: NewbsGoneWild: Uninhibited amateur action! All ages, CBM 1.71 [Send Pretenders]
 

So, where are we at now? Waiting for people to upload pretenders?

Re: NewbsGoneWild: Uninhibited amateur action! All ages, CBM 1.71 [Send Pretenders]
 

Ya, once lwarmonger and freepower have their pretenders in, we're ready to go.

Re: NewbsGoneWild: Uninhibited amateur action! All ages, CBM 1.71 [Send Pretenders]
 

cmon ya bums, time to upload those pretenders.

Re: NewbsGoneWild: Uninhibited amateur action! All ages, CBM 1.71 [Send Pretenders]
 

Well, during this calm before the storm, I'd like to ask anyone that wants to quit mid-game to please say so in the thread and not go AI. Let me find a sub if possible. Even if you're frustrated cause you started between hinnom and vanheim and the rapetrain haven't brakes.

Re: NewbsGoneWild: Uninhibited amateur action! All ages, CBM 1.71 [Send Pretenders]
 

Ok, this is the first game I have played on my new computer, and the last one I played was before I went to Iraq over a year ago. There is no saved games file in the Dominions 3 directory, and having searched my entire hard drive I am at a loss as to where dominions is storing those things. I tried creating a save game folder, but without knowing exactly what it is supposed to be called I can't save a pretender to it from the creation screen. I was wondering exactly what your all savegame folder is called?

Re: NewbsGoneWild: Uninhibited amateur action! All ages, CBM 1.71 [Send Pretenders]
 

The folder is dom3 folder\savedgames\newlords\

Although, wherever it happens to be saving your pretender doesn't matter, since you just log into direct connect, find your nation, and pick it? If you have more than one pretender for that nation, there's a list to choose from, otherwise it immediately activates you with your singular god.

Re: NewbsGoneWild: Uninhibited amateur action! All ages, CBM 1.71 [Send Pretenders]
 

Sweet. It is saving it somewhere, but hell if I can find it. Anyway, pretender uploaded.

Re: NewbsGoneWild: Uninhibited amateur action! All ages, CBM 1.71 [Send Pretenders]
 

Alright, now it's just freepower, who sadly hasn't even logged in since he made his single post...

Re: NewbsGoneWild: Uninhibited amateur action! All ages, CBM 1.71 [Send Pretenders]
 

sounds like its time to find a replacement. did he ever turn his PMs on?

Re: NewbsGoneWild: Uninhibited amateur action! All ages, CBM 1.71 [Send Pretenders]
 

Huh, you'd think he'd at least wait for the game to start before going AI.

Re: NewbsGoneWild: Uninhibited amateur action! All ages, CBM 1.71 [Send Pretenders]
 

Well, because 7 people seems too few for this map and it gives freepower a bit more time to appear, I'm going to open up one extra slot. If someone joins up, uploads their pretender, and we're all good to go... then we have 8 people. If freepower reappears in the meantime, we get 8 or 9 depending. Sound good?

Re: NewbsGoneWild: Uninhibited amateur action! All ages, CBM 1.71 [1 slot open!]
 

Sounds good to me -- as long as it doesn't take too long to find a replacement.

I seem to recall similar startup trouble in the last two games I played. What's the usual time to start a game once it's announced, about two weeks or so?

Re: NewbsGoneWild: Uninhibited amateur action! All ages, CBM 1.71 [1 slot open!]
 

I would be interested in playing. Is the faction already locked?

Re: NewbsGoneWild: Uninhibited amateur action! All ages, CBM 1.71 [1 slot open!]
 

You can pick any nation that isn't taken. In case freepower makes a miraculous appearance, that includes his choice of EA Hinnom.

Re: NewbsGoneWild: Uninhibited amateur action! All ages, CBM 1.71 [1 slot open!]
 

Ok I will be EA Tir na n'Og. I will send my pretender asap.

Re: NewbsGoneWild: Uninhibited amateur action! All ages, CBM 1.71 [1 slot open!]
 

Ok, port PMed! Nice to see this game finally getting off the ground, lol

Re: NewbsGoneWild: Uninhibited amateur action! All ages, CBM 1.71 [Send Pretenders]
 

Thanks! I am uploaded and ready to go.

Re: NewbsGoneWild: Uninhibited amateur action! All ages, CBM 1.71 [Send Pretenders]
 

Hello there. :o

It seems thread notification works slightly differently to the other forums I'm signed up to. :doh:

I got the reply to my post and then hadn't got a peep since, decided to pop in just to check. Thanks very much for waiting, very kind of you to ignore the first epic noobfail of the game.

Or pregame even.

( :o )

Creating Pretender now, sending asap (within the hour for sure), hold the presses etc.

Re: NewbsGoneWild: Uninhibited amateur action! All ages, CBM 1.71 [Send Pretenders]
 

lol, I sent the port and asked gandalf to not yet start the server.. Way to cut it close

Re: NewbsGoneWild: Uninhibited amateur action! All ages, CBM 1.71 [Send Pretenders]
 

You are all gentlemen of the first order for waiting, even the squishy things and necrolizards.

Just to check - I presume "instant" email notification sends you an email every time there's fresh posts? I got a notification of your post and PM, just seem to have missed any info between you welcoming me to the game and the game almost starting... >.>

Are we using any multipliers on anything?

Re: NewbsGoneWild: Uninhibited amateur action! All ages, CBM 1.71 [Send Pretenders]
 

I have no idea, I've never used that stuff...

As far as multipliers, it's all default besides 35% magic sites (LA rate).

Re: NewbsGoneWild: Uninhibited amateur action! All ages, CBM 1.71 [Send Pretenders]
 

Hey, I'm all about welcoming people into my home... my disease ridden, swampy, festering home. Welcome!

Re: NewbsGoneWild: Uninhibited amateur action! All ages, CBM 1.71 [Send Pretenders]
 

There should be a button somewhere that allows you to subscribe to a thread, and then you can get emailed whenever someone replies.

Re: NewbsGoneWild: Uninhibited amateur action! All ages, CBM 1.71 [Send Pretenders]
 

Yeah, email notification seems totally fine now, and I seem to have had no problems with the mods, pretender submission, whatever. Looking forward to playing with all of you rather than the AI. :P

IE, ready to go, have submitted pretender! :D

Made some interesting (I haven't tried em before :P ) choices design wise, and honestly have no idea if they'll play out. I wouldn't even know what standard MP play is, although I've read the noob guides and such.

Thank you, and feel free to visit my desolate wastelands anytime for a cup of blood and a few biscuits. ^_^

And once again, thank you all for your patience, can't wait! :D

Re: NewbsGoneWild: Uninhibited amateur action! All ages, CBM 1.71 [Send Pretenders]
 

Server is up, let the game begin! Gandalf says a "cheat notice" is an error about mismanaged mods or something, so if that happens to you, post about it and we can work it out.

May the worst player win!

Re: NewbsGoneWild: Uninhibited amateur action! All ages, CBM 1.71 [Death Is Honor]
 

Do those crowns on the map indicate starting provinces?

Re: NewbsGoneWild: Uninhibited amateur action! All ages, CBM 1.71 [Death Is Honor]
 

No, from what I understand, they are victory points. Although since we aren't using VP capping as a way to win, they will only function as a 5 dom "temple" for spreading your dom. So they are mostly useless.

Re: NewbsGoneWild: Uninhibited amateur action! All ages, CBM 1.71 [Death Is Honor]
 

My goodness, last to play the first turn as well...

A little question, is independent strength 5? I'm just in a slightly unusual position regarding my surrounding provinces... >.>

default would be independants 5. Im not exactly thrilled with my starting location either so at least you arnt alone.

Re: NewbsGoneWild: Uninhibited amateur action! [A coward always seeks compromise]
 

Ya, indies are 5. Can I join the "i'm gonna get raped by my starting location" club?
